it was meant to facilitate another American revolution (against our own government should it turn tyrannical). "Was" is the key word now. People have become so indoctrinated and addicted to 24/7 news cycle that they'll

Guns are a tool, a very deadly tool, but a tool none the less. Really tired of seeing this argument. They're made for killing, period. Fertilizer, box cutter, automobiles all have other uses. Killing is not one of them. For guns, it&

Doesn't track for many places in the US. Chicago has some of the strictest gun control in the country, yet also has a mass shooting every other week in the summer.

Children left to their own devices nowadays would just endlessly scroll Tiktok. They don't have the mental capacity to stop otherwise.

It's been shocking the amount of "emergency" funding for Ukraine that has been passed in the past 2 months. If it were for anything else other than the military, Republicans would have a gargantuan hissy fit over it and pro

Read Dr. Shanna Swan's new book, it's all about this. Very scary shit

I'm not against all usages of it. I think where one needs a supremely robust material (like in the military) it's very useful. However I think it should be banned from any and all contact with foodstuffs.

Much of the Midwest is corn and soybeans, both garbage since a good portion of them are synthesized into corn/soybean oils. We should make better use of the farmland but Big Agro would rather torch their fields than stop their governme

What do we do with the leftover toxic brine?

Reading about the Mead Reservoir the other day and now this, I'm thoroughly convinced the US needs some sort of large scale disaster for something to really change in this country. There's obviously various pockets in the countr

I once heard that you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time around It's also "you are your friends". If you're normally a mild-mannered guy that starts hanging around belligerent unscrupulous type

1 billion to just to say "nah I actually don't want to do this". 1 billion for, after all is said and done, nothing to actually materially change. Does that sound supremely fucked up to anyone else? All that fucking money

In the context of divorce court fucking over men, California is by and far the worst in the country.

11. Get a prenup. No, really, do get one. While true, unfortunately in many (blue-leaning) states, they're starting to become at the judge's discretion. Absolutely sickening to be honest.

How is he a boogeyman? He's already prolonged the pandemic by convincing the vaccine companies not to allow smaller biomedical companies (with markets in poorer countries) access to produce it because it makes more money for him. How i

Don't think you got my point. I'd wager most parents that don't like sexual education courses don't see the hypocrisy in supporting this bill. They're essentially letting the state do the parenting for them.

by JohnWhigham 4y ago
Funny thing is that I guarantee a lot of the parents in support of dumb shit like this lose their minds at sexual education classes in public schools. Just shows that most people don't have the IQ necessary to be competent parents.

Anyone know any good supplements that are not soybean/corn oil? Pretty much everything at grocery stores is.

That's why you have to get out as soon as you can. The money in being a code monkey in the West is on borrowed time. The tried and true money is in management. Managing people always pays well.

I don't live in the Southwest, but I'm not inconveniencing myself so some fucking company can make more money. If the individual needs to belt-tighten, so can the company. They're people too, right?

They're right though. The Internet was better when it didn't have tons of people giving their unsolicited opinions and corporations coming in and having every single one of their actions be antithetical to the esprit of the WW

Yes, JavaScript is a joke for having such a barren standard library that the community has to do it for them.

What do you imagine people 30 years ago did, during a time when crime was a lot worse?

by JohnWhigham 4y ago
Yup, for the longest time I've maintained we entered a cyberpunk society when credit scores were introduced. An absolutely soulless abomination of a system designed to treat you as a number and not as a human.

Don't forget to factor in all the maintenance costs that one doesn't have to worry about when renting.

That adage exists because those who really want to do it won't be asking to be spoonfed and will instead start doing the research themselves.
