That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

I turned my wife into a nerd and now we go to half price books.

You can’t separate the art from the artist, but I can damn well ensure that none of my money goes to them.

Secondhand all the way baybee

And in particular, the union went easy on them specifically because they didn’t want lasting hard feelings.

So basically trying to please the shitbags never really stopped, it just had a brief couple years of being put on pause.

Best I can do is an AR-15 with a 3d printed bicycle mount.

Unfortunately that doesn’t look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.

It’s a good thing those torches are still burning after thousands of years, otherwise you would have needed a flashlight!

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

I’ve lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It’s been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I’m paranoid about any online interactions.

I wouldn’t even know where to start with VPNs.

Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?

I ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.

I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn’t quite come out yet.

Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out… I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I’m paying for streaming services ran out.

So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.

I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.

🎶🎵Oh the times, they are a-changin🎵🎶

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.

Ooh how many times have you heard that it’s somehow your fault for not doing enough to get anyone else elected, your fault for not having a degree, your fault for not seeing this coming 10 years ago and making plans then, or your fault for being a dirty American who is American and therefore deserves all the bad things happening?

I’ve gotten all these, and more.

My personal favorite was being told in the same conversation by two different Canadians, that I should move to Canada, AND that Canada doesn’t need some “backwards ass hillbilly trash who wants to fuck his guns as much as his sister” because I mentioned I have family, no college education, and firearms.

Personally I’d prefer to move to an EU country, but if the US ever really did want to invade Canada, I’d want to be there to help defend Canada. You know, with my guns. I’ve inherited quite a few, have training to use them, and am absolutely willing to train minorities on their use to defend against fascist racist phobic pieces of human refuse.

So basically for one reason or another, country on the planet seems to want someone like me.

Instead we get to sit here, in this shit hole country. Grasping at anything to try and help pull it back from the massive sinkhole it’s slipping into. Hoping that enough people help us to make a difference.

I don’t think there’s a relevant peanuts panel for this…

Literally the most hilarious thing I’ve read all week. Honestly I wonder if anyone who was involved in this article actually believes that.

It just reads like more placation of the angry masses. “no need to burn things down, we promise he will be gone soon, no protesting necessary either”

They could halve their prices and still make bank.

Markups at retail stores are insane, places like Walmart are the worst.

I want a small European style truck that’s hybrid. Like give me 200 miles of electric charge, and a small generator I can use to charge up. I don’t even care if I can’t drive while it’s using the generator for a charge, I just want the ability to charge out in the field without filling my bed up with solar panels.

Rarely do I need the full size of my 90s/2000s era truck. And it’s tiny compared to modern trucks. That said, I am hauling small things that won’t fit in a car or SUV nearly daily.

Most of the guys I know that drive the large trucks go on about how they NEED them for “safety” or for “when I’m hauling a bunch of stuff” while the cover on their bed hasn’t been lifted off since they bought it and there isn’t a single scratch on the hitch.

I didn’t even know the Lighting existed until I read an article about how someone used one to power their home during a power outage.

I make an attempt not to subject myself to marketing, but it seems like marketing for that thing was straight nonexistent for a long time.

Nothing says “I do not care, this is beneath my ability to even think about and in no way affects my decision-making” like painting on your clothing in response to a comment.

It really sells how little she thinks about it.

Just like when someone comments/messages/texts several huge long paragraphs in an argument while constantly saying “I don’t care”, you can feel the apathy.

Can alumni class-action their university for devaluing their degree?

I give it 6 years tops.

The bell riots have been pushed back a bit, but it’s only a matter of time.

Begun, the Eugenics Wars have…
