Yes, sit diwn and let them execute you like an obedient slave. I’m sure asking nicely will help.

And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

I would agree if it weren’t painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren’t heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

Personally I’m a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don’t take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.

Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I’m sad.

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

And even when they ARE “punished”, their profits far exceed the fine, which IS their only punishment.

If the punishment for a crime is just a fine, it’s only a crime for the poor.

Well, as long as you do it while driving a car, anyway.

… Kick them over like dominoes.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

Half the time when you see someone walking around with the wrong amount of pips, it’s just delicious street corn

Dude… It’s SALT.

Actually, having been on reddit for over a decade before I left, I’d agree that there is a superiority complex present on reddit when someone asks for clarification on an acronym.

Without fail, if someone used acronyms that might be considered by some to be “common knowledge”, and another user asks what that means, they’ll get down votes and sometimes even a “are you joking? Everyone knows it means blah blah blah” or similar comment.

I once saw a person get over 50 down votes for asking “what does ETA mean?” when the OP meant “edited to add”. I had never seen anyone use it to mean something other than “estimated time of arrival” and was mildly confused by the “ETA” at the top of the comment. Not one single person explained what it meant. Just down votes. I had no idea either at the time, and didn’t care enough to do some light searching.

I’d say the business ones are dependent on where you work. I’ve never worked in a corporate setting where I’d imagine they’re more common, so I can’t really comment on that part.

I mean, you’re wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.

(the intro is a jam, but it’s so out of place for me I can’t enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)

I love how when I point out it’s owned by a nazi, people rush in to defend their use of twitter and most usually it’s some form of “it’s the best for what it is/it has a huge user base” and me responding with a picture of musk doing the ol’ Hitler Salute saying “okay but you’re supporting this guy, and if you sit at a table with 10 nazis…” usually results in being blocked, people simply ignoring me, or saying something dismissive.

Surely the article title means “again”, as he has done so repeatedly.

Every time my wife and I get passed by another lifted 350, one of us usually goes, in a sing-song voice, “tiny penis” to which the other responds, *clap-clap-clapclap-clap"

Or at least we used to. It’s so common now it’s not funny anymore.

Car companies could make sensible smaller vehicles that give proper balance to comfort, safety, and serviceablility. Instead they want more money and to follow the least amount of regulations, so now everything has to be big and terrible for both the environment and people. They unilaterally decided “fuck everyone who isn’t in one of our cars”

My city just installed another new lane down the main shopping area and made the existing ones wider to accommodate the huge spike in larger vehicles since covid.

So far it’s caused several accidents because they shifted the lanes over and the lines are poorly marked right now, so some people are continuing straight while others swerve into them with the lines.

Also it’s mostly to put in “turn only” lanes along the right side, but with how many people are turning it just congests as people try to “get around the slow traffic” and end up trying to merge with 2 car lengths before the intersection.

Yes, I have very strong opinions on these matters, how did you guess?

Does anyone for a moment think any article would use the phrase “Saudi/North Korean/Chinese president ‘closes’ US airspace” in any way if it were a threat to the US?
