Folks’ll say that it takes two people to fuck an ostrich.

I heard it was a sick ostrich

Unpopular opinion:

Alienating liberals doesn’t create more leftists, it only causes people to be dismissive of the term and dig in their heels.
Insulting them rather than educating them does nothing but divide anyone left of center and after the last election I think it’s abundantly clear that we need to be unified rather than divided.
No one is going to argue that left leaning candidates aren’t far from perfect, but they’re a hell of a lot better than the far-right fascists were about to have in power in less than 2 weeks.
Yes, I agree modern liberals are too centrist and ineffective but at the end of the day they’re light-years ahead of the far right, and I’d rather be agitated about having another centrist administration than alarmed and outraged at the onset of fascism.

I had a job once making plastic handles for garden hose sprayer nozzles, we had cheap aluminum Chinese made hose nozzles that we plastic molded a handle around that said “made in USA” proudly on the side and completely covered the “made in China” stamped into the metal.
This was legal because the handle was indeed made in the USA, but it was advertised on the packaging in a way that implied the whole thing was made in the USA when it reality it was just the plastic grip.

Best is the 3rd shift factory workers that’ll be on their lines and don’t even get a break to watch the countdown.
I don’t miss that shit at all.
But it was still better than working overnight on daylight savings time switch and having an extra hour of work the other two shifts didn’t get.

The only thing that is going to accomplish is increasing profit margins for the people importing the goods, because they’re absolutely still going to hike their prices by the same percentage that the tariffs are set at.
So consumers will be paying more but corporations will be reaping the benefits of the 25% increase in profit margins without paying extra because they’re skirting the tariffs while telling everyone that they have to pay it.

Not necessarily, you could absolutely survive without electricity, I live in a predominantly Amish area that proves that.
It just wouldn’t be any fun.

Electricity.
If you lose electricity most people lose access to:
Hot water
Running water (if you have a well)
Air conditioning
Indoor heat
Television
Internet
Indoor lighting
And hot meals if you don’t have gas.

Losing electricity would cut you off from almost all of your luxuries as we’ve become completely dependent on it over the last century or so.

The only question I have is about prions, which are just misfolded proteins. As long as the quality control is good enough I don’t have to worry about that, then I’d have no problem with it.

Now? No.
If I had the choice I’d wait a century or two

apology for poor english

when were you when Reddit dies?

i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring

“Reddit is kill”

“no”

How safe from hacking would these robotic body guards be?
Assuming they’ll be connected to the internet at least sometimes, there would always be software vulnerabilities that could be exploited to change the programming and turn them into robot assassins instead.

Mike Johnson makes me wish God were real. He’s an Evangelical Christian and he’s helping the literal antichrist come to power. If God were real I’d love to see the look on Mike’s face when he’s sent straight to superhell for the harm he’s caused on earth.

They have shareholders now, if half the site traffic disappeared (and I feel like that’s being optimistic about the actual number of real people on the site) it would be devastating to the stock price.

Yeah, it’s the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it’s more of a “here be hillbillies” thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.

Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing

I’m lucky enough to be a state employee so I’ll still have OPERS when Social Security is annihilated next year, but I’m not sure that’ll be enough.

You forgot “Yinz”

When you’re stressed out or in a panic situation your brain will start to lay down more than one memory track at a time, this will cause time to feel slower when you think back on it. And because the “present” is constantly moving moment in time thinking back only 10 seconds can feel like 30 seconds, making time feel like it’s crawling along. If you spend 8 hours at work stressed out, at the end of the day it can feel like you’ve spent 16-20 hours there.

I’m pretty sure there’s an anime of a very similar premise on Netflix called “Erased”.
It reminded me a lot of the movie “butterfly effect”
