I officiated basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball about 15-20 years ago on the west coast. It was bad then. So many drunk parents in baseball. I tossed parents from basketball games for cussing at their kids. Volleyball was pretty

The consumer chooses convenience for skill/knowledge and then complains about the outcome of their choice. It's wild.

The amount of times I see "I'd like to do the right thing but my spouse isn't on board" is mind boggling. It's wild how convenience trumps everything and then we look back to say, "we should have done better.&q

The show Devs kind of deals with this topic. Tldr: dudes wife/kid die in an unpredictable accident so he builds a super computer that predicts things, and can even go back in time using probability. Interesting story.

The average 17 year old can barely use a computer nowadays. Their phone? Sure. But an actual computer? Haha Try to teach an urban 17 year old how to drive a car. It's gonna be hilarious.

Both can be true. Trump and family do have very deep Russian connections in terms of financing. That's very true. His own sons have admitted it. Trump has said he loves Russian banks. American oligarchs are also schmoozing trump, clear

The under 30 crowd is also dangerously tech illiterate. They hardly know how anything functions. They just use apps. If it doesn't have a simple app they won't bother. Just nope out.

Their emissions are generally higher because they produce the goods other nations buy. This entire mentality of "but them" is bad.

Nonsense. This is defeatist talk. This is the logic folks use when they make dozens of small actions that add up, like buying more plastic cuz "it doesn't matter". The honest truth is people who use this logic have made the d

> For most individuals there is no lifestyle change they can make that will matter. Fixing it requires collective action. Sorry but this is absolute nonsense. What we eat matters. A huge amount of what people eat is unnecessarily excessi

Tragedy of the commons. It's not just you. It's you + the millions of people using the same "I'm a unique snowflake" logic. If 8 billion people can't do it, maybe consider not doing it.

Paypal stole over $10k from a Haitian charity drive we did. They froze the account and all the donations, then refused to refund people and offered "Donate to our charity instead" as an option. It was bonkers.

Yes but a lot of people just use apps. It's weird. Americans are super weird about dining procedures and expectations. Remember, we tip here. It's weird.

PayPal is Intuit of the payment processor world. Paypal has actively lobbied for legislation(or lack of) in ways that has hurt American consumers.

Lol no you can't. I had one give me blatantly incorrect information just a bit ago. The first result after the AI version had the correct info. No idea how it got it so wrong.

Give up your meat consumption because it's more about societal excess than anything else. Meat is and mostly always has been(in euro societies) a luxury item meant mostly for the rich. Capitalism turned meat into a MUST HAVE item for k

Exactly. You also don't need to grow acres of grass in the desert to feed the cow, but we do that too. Most folks have highly distorted views of how animal agriculture works. It's disgusting and insanely inefficient.

The carnivore diet mentality is strong here. Also not really supported by anthropology or science. The only folks who think like this are folks who choose to believe weird dietary theories to support a pre chosen stance, like the carnivore

I have no idea where Americans get the idea that this isn't standard operating procedure at this point. Literally the US has zero civil rights when it comes to privacy. There are so many loopholes and gotchas thanks to fear mongered pa

I got my PPL a few years ago. VATSIM and flight sim were huge tools. I would, literally, fly my training flights a few times using full VATSIM and then show up IRL to do the same thing. It made a massive difference. My instructor even said

Hamm is a great example. He hazed multiple people in college, like burned a dudes dick, never apologized, and settled out of court. When asked about it he often used his mom's death to avoid the topic. Dude has never owned up to it. Bu

You joke but this has been a legit tactic in business for...ever? Big desk, high chair while the guests chairs are "lower", etc.

Yeah this is just step one and the evidence to support this is simple: history. Governments very, very rarely give up power. Once they have it they only work to expand that power. Next will be stronger and more restrictive shit.

Its a con that is trying very hard to become legitimate. Chiros started as a scam, continued as a scam, and are now a widely accepted scam. The legit work they do is often just physical therapy. Just go to a physical therapist.

They just keep trying. It's not uncommon for people to talk after 3 or so attempts. Humans want to talk.
