I blame Mr. Beast.

Lovely how this incredibly wealthy person is laser focused on making things worse for poor people. I suppose it’s the usual ploy of making people as desperate as possible so people like him can prey on us more easily.

I agree. It could bring about positive changes, but slowly, and it will be much worse at first. Of course Trump and co-conspirators will manage to blame the problems on Democrats somehow.

I noticed their website is pretty terrible… the insole description is copied and pasted from a jacket page, apparently.

Anyway I had battery powered socks about 20 years ago when I lived in Montana and they were really useless. Great at sucking down D batteries though.

The specific example of the health care guy says everything about that too. Deny someone health care and they suffer and die? Or maybe hundreds of thousands of people? No problem.

Okay. Can I get a hotline to call when a corporation fucks me over in some way?

Year round daylight savings time would be better, but sure. Switching clocks twice a year for no reason is very dumb.

So accurate

Disgusting. This is in line with his apparent policy of picking the least qualified and most horrible people for every position.

I’ve been aware of this since I was about 8. Not sure what Chloe is so upset about.

Wow, crazy that a probably corrupt former cop would take a rightward turn.

Why do people hate living near these so much? Just unsightly?

The fediverse is a confusing, complicated endeavor that will require a change in how users view social media.

I know I’m much more steeped in Internet technology and experience than the average person, but I really don’t understand why people find this so confusing. It shares your posts to other websites and you can see posts from other websites. Wow, that was hard.

I told my friend from Australia that I heated water for tea on the stove in a saucepan and she said it was barbaric

They are also used in bandage packages, also some medical soaps, sanitizer and anesthetic - metacresol and phenol.

I definitely don’t like the creosote based preservatives that give it that weird smell.

I have type 1 though, so it’s indisputable that it’s healthier for me than no insulin - without external insulin, I’d be in DKA, a coma and then dead probably in less than a week.

Pretty obvious that this guy is a stupid asshole, so makes sense. Congrats to his daughters for telling him to fuck himself. I had a parent who said incredibly stupid shit like the “liberalism is a mental disorder” line I would not talk to them either.

As the line misattributed to Betty White goes,

When someone calls you weak, they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

That’s how my dad is. Mechanical engineering degree but is entirely clueless about basically everything else, ranging from household cleaning to understanding other people’s motivations.
