That was fast.

People who don’t care to learn, but want to have an opinion. Doesn’t matter the topic, sports, movies, business, politics, science, every asshole wants you to listen to their half-brained, malformed thought prions, and then insist that it’s disrespectful to point out flaws in their “reasoning.” I don’t mind people being disengaged. It’s a big world, and nobody is an expert in everything. But respect is earned, and being an expert entitles you to an opinion. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.

I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.

But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed in a politician than John Fetterman. I didn’t even have very high hopes for the guy, but that’s how much of a shitbag he’s become.

And they would put some fucking flat earther in charge of the project, resulting in some additional ecological disaster of epic proportions.

Probably for the best under the current administration. They’d try to build an ICE detention center with Trump’s face large enough to be seen from Earth. None of the astronauts would survive.

Ironically, if he is successful, it would be a national emergency.

Even buildings built for the homeowner suck, because building codes suck and construction materials suck. It’s very hard, and very expensive, to build a nice home of any size. And even if you spend the money, you’ll never get it back because the market doesn’t value quality.

Yes, and it’s also unfettered capitalism. Developers buy land cheap, build homes cheap, and sell them for a profit. That’s usually not in the best interests of the homeowners or the community. In many other countries, homeowners buy land, choose a builder, buy materials, and contribute to their local area. It’s a system that costs slightly more upfront, but most of the value stays where it should, with the homeowners and the laborers. There’s no mass-produced garbage or corporate veils to syphon and protect profits far away from the community.

There’s a reason that Putin throws people out of windows. He wants everyone to know that he killed those people, and he wants everyone to know that nobody is going to stop him.

Trump and his fascist army wants you to know that they will murder witnesses, and nobody will stop them.

Even if it was just a horrible coincidence, Trump is going to act like they killed him because he likes taking credit for things.

The second fetus may have been terminally underdeveloped, and small enough to be delivered without realizing it was a second baby. They may have told her there was no second baby or that it was part of the afterbirth, or she may have misunderstood what they said.

Doctors have been known to lie to patients in the past, but the practice is not very common anymore in most cultures.

My kids get their assignments, turn them in, and receive their grades on four different apps, plus there’s a version for the parents.

Where? Fuck you, that’s where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?

Seems to have worked then.

I think there wre both willing coconspirators and terrified bystanders unwilling to make a stand. The coconspirators belong in prison. I don’t have hope for them. I do wish the rest will locate their nerve and become better people, but I doubt it will happen.

That feels like something we could crowd-source. I don’t need the space and tools to build two open source cars, but if we had ten people in the community that wanted them, it would make sense to rent the space and buy the tools.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s a smashing success. First, the author was deeply engaged with Facebook to write the article. Second, everyone who saw this article and discussed the findings was engaged with Facebook even if they didn’t have the app open. You and I are engaged with Facebook right now. And third, many many more people logged into their Facebook to test the findings either out of curiosity, to disprove the theory, or because they are horny goblins thirsting for smut.

It’s called pillaging when it’s an invasion force.

I would definitely pay a premium for an open source car.

So he stole a chicken, which is actually a war crime, and he’s just casually admitting it on social media. Says a lot about the state of the world at the moment.
