I’m sure those folks that took the Louvre aint waiting on no manager to unlock deodorant at CVS.

Fuck it, just to be a little bit contarian, how much of a selection bias do you think might actually be present in the assumption “…then why don’t the rich ascend to this purer existence in a trailer park? Why is it always the poors?”

For sure we hear about the people that get rich and only want to get richer and fuck over everyone that gets in their way, but personally now that I think about it, I actually do know a few people that got lucky, made a bit, and thought “fuck it, I’m done. I’m going to go farm and smoke weed” or some similar equivalent. You’d never hear about those kind of people unless you directly know them. How many trust fund kids are out there just chilling and enjoying life without trying to exploit everyone around them?

I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

Why does my back hurt so much? Unrelated I’m sure.

A person I know (and don’t particularly like) created a start up on this idea a couple of years ago already. It’s creepy AF.

A buddy of mine and I used to play this game where one of us tried to think of an absurd metal concept and the other tried to find a band that actually fit that description. The game ended the day that the challenge was Maori folk metal and we discovered the band Alien Weaponry. At that point we pretty much decided that there must exist a rule similar to the internet’s rule 42 along the lines of “if there’s a genre of music, there exists a metal subgenre influenced by it.”

I’ve already seen the taking point showing up on the right that the “… and domestic” part applies to the “antifa terrorists turning our cities into war zones and besieging federal (especially ICE) buildings.”

I was openly an atheist in highschool (early 2000s). Death threats weren’t sent, they were spoken to my face

It’s a huge problem in any industry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo_cross-selling_scandal

Sometimes it isn’t even media literacy. I’ve known several nuero divergent people over the years who can have a hard time understanding sarcasm in person unless the person being sarcastic is really over doing it. They have no chance differentiating sarcastic and serious if it’s written.

I’ve got one of these and it’s super easy and convenient. https://wandp.com/products/the-popper-microwave-popcorn-popper

Just drop in some loose kernels and microwave.

I also cook on the stove top with a large pan, it’s not hard at all.

It has now been officially confirmed that he is in fact dead.

I think I had to step away for a few minutes after that
