Didn’t grow up with one, but consider it standard now. There should be an organic stream to waste disposal. Much more green to send your plate scrapings to the treatment plant than to wrap them up in plastic and bury it in a landfill.

Easy to replace? sure. A couple hours if your handy.

But installing one for the first time will require electrical in addition to the and plumbing work. It’s a pretty big job for a DIYer.

ummmmm

Eugenics is the single stupidest idea in human history. To advocate for it now is to deny biology and history.

It relies on the same misunderstanding of evolution that underpins ‘great replacement theory’.

There is not more danger now than there was centuries ago

The way you describe American history as “centuries” like we’re the Roman Empire or Egypt when we’ve only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.

Go on Amazon, buy a skillet, don’t spend more than $25. Use this skillet to learn how to use and care for cast iron. Maybe it’s not for you, or maybe you’ll love it. Either way, you’ll know what to look for in cast iron.

This is the natural life-cycle of slang.

They just fired two workers for organizing a protest against supporting Israel. You don’t have to make up conspiracy theories to convince people that Microsoft: Bad.

Step 1: damage your customers

Step 2: ?

Step 3: profit

Idiocracy is a funny movie that I enjoy. However I’m disturbed by the number of people who say it’s a documentary, or a warning. That’s because the central premise of the movie (that humans breed wrong and if nothing is done, we’ll devolve and society will collapse) also happens to be the central premise of Eugenics.

Being a chromium based browser, they’re fixing to loose access to the same features that’s killing Ublock. So in the near future, the Brave CEO is still going to be a cunt, but your ad-blocking is going to be forever inferior.

In the US, everyone has the right to a trial, in theory. However, if every defendant, or even a significant minority of them demanded their trial, the system would collapse.

To solve this problem. Prosecutors (lawyers working for the government) are given extraordinary power. They use their ability to charge any defendant with inflated charges that carry long jail sentences, then offer to reduce the charges if the defendant gives up their right to fight. Despite being obviously coercive and prone to force innocent people to confess, it’s perfectly normal, legal, and necessary to the US criminal system.

The idea of “political neutrality” is naive or bad faith.

What you want is a right-wing sub. They pride themselves on being centrist, reasonable, and uncontroversial. You’re going to get lots of radical ideology, but don’t take it seriously bro, it’s just a joke.

Left subs may seem obnoxious with their politics, but that’s just because we’re trying to persuade you with argument instead of tricking you with flattery.

Randomly choose 0.001% of the books.

If you think that’s a bad plan, it’s been the norm for the history of books.

What astonishes me about people like Elon or Clarence Thomas is why, at this stage of their lives, are they seeking out people to whom they are subordinate? Is it a Daddy thing?

Good looking young people make good looking old people. Will wonders never cease?

You are correct. I like to focus instead on those lacking shelter who’ve been completely alienated from society and cannot be ‘re-rehabilitated’. These are the people who are erased when we speak about how lifestyle or work ethic “redeem” those in extreme poverty.

For those with a skeptical nature, I hunted down these numbers.

The US has spent ~$18B on direct military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023. They’ve also spent ~$5B for operations in the region, mostly in the Red Sea and Yemen.

HUD does not provide numbers to “end homelessness”, they report on the state of homelessness including an estimated census of the homeless.

Some annalists have taken these numbers and multiplied them by the cost to imprison someone, or the average cost of American housing. These estimates come out to $11-30B.

So the numbers check out. The only fault I could find with this meme’s claims is that they are slightly misleading in suggesting $20B could “end homelessness” without the caveat that that’s only for one year.

We’ve two. The beautiful gods live in LA, the ugly ones in DC.

Why are you measuring yourself by the standards of a Hallmark movie?

If you think being successful and having sex with good looking people will make you happy, why is Beniffer getting divorced again? Does Elon Musk seem happy to you?

There is a concept in psychology called “adaptation” where over the long run, people maintain about the same level of satisfaction with their lives. Extraordinary fortunes like becoming paralyzed, or winning the lottery only effect this base-line of satisfaction temporarily.

Fuck the Apple watch, I want one of those Casio 9000s!
