People voted for a better economy.
About that…
Enjoy paying more. For everything.
Stupid Biden pulling the grocery price lever in the Oval Office instead of pushing it!
I hate this meme. Pingu would never say, “well now I am doing it.” He would say, “NOOT NOOT!” and then he would do it.
Yes. Harmless. Or do you think bird flu cares who it infects once it’s transmissible from human to human?
Ironic considering Ron Swanson would be 100% against this.
11·1 hour agoAt least they have good public transportation. But yeah, anyone making less than £100,000 a year, good luck finding anywhere with a train commute of under an hour.
I do not blame any woman or queer person arming themselves in the U.S. right now. But I think that you should think of it as personal protection rather than preparation for something larger.
Be aware of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disarmament_of_the_German_Jews
The Jews of Germany constituted less than 1 percent of the country’s population. It is preposterous to argue that the possession of firearms would have enabled them to mount resistance against a systematic program of persecution implemented by a modern bureaucracy, enforced by a well-armed police state, and either supported or tolerated by the majority of the German population. Mr. Carson’s suggestion that ordinary Germans, had they had guns, would have risked their lives in armed resistance against the regime simply does not comport with the regrettable historical reality of a regime that was quite popular at home. Inside Germany, only the army possessed the physical force necessary for defying or overthrowing the Nazis, but the generals had thrown in their lot with Hitler early on.
Obviously, women and queer people are a lot more than 1% of the population, but you can’t count on every queer person being on the right side and you certainly can’t count on every woman to be on the right side.
1·2 hours agoOkay, but “she’s” not real and “she” endorses stuff. Seems close enough.
Hitting London with a ballistic missile would bring the rents down. Maybe this is a good thing.
I never said I would be doing the fucking.
Oh I know. I was just pointing that out considering how many of them voted for him.
I was once near to (but did not interact with) Jamie Farr maybe 10 years ago. It’s really hard to see him and not picture him in a dress.
I’ve seen that movie. It may or may not have ended well depending on your perspective.
I was going to ask if you would want an AI to decide on tenure, then I thought about the people who usually decide on tenure and maybe AI is a better option.
Already happening. Except they aren’t replacing them, they’re just adding AI to the pool.
My daughter is way into this thing.

If you want to hear a really cool, weird and experimental movie soundtrack, Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack to Giu La Testa/Duck, You Sucker!/A Fistful of Dynamite is one of my all-time favorite movie soundtracks. I loved it long before I ever saw the movie (which is also good).
