Who doesn’t?

I go a bit farther than most people and bring disinfecting wipes to wipe down before and after I use the machine. After seeing a gym employee pour half of one cleaning spray bottle into another and fill them both with water from the drink fountain, I decided I didn’t trust gyms to have proper cleaning supplies.

By the time I die I will probably have spent a full gym’s worth of equipment in wipes, but for now I still can’t afford a home gym outside a couple free weights.

THIS! RIGHT HERE!

When I was young and naive about digital things, I had NO BACKUP

One day I got a new laptop. Yay me. Transfer all the data from my old hard drive using some jank-ass local network setup because young and dumb about tech still.

Six months go by, and my new laptop shit itself. Still no idea what happened, but it BSODd and a factory reset got it working again.

I still had my old laptop, so after about a week of searching on forums and reading everything I could find about how to build a pc, how laptop internals compare, data transfers, and literally anything I could so I could pull the old hard drive out without damaging anything and get at least some of my data without issue…

I lost 6 months of new stuff on a much more capable laptop, but it’s better than losing EVERYTHING.

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

I can hate both.

The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.

The patriot act says hi.

Along with like… Half the shift from 2001-2005.

And if we keep going we will be here all day.

Weird, because historically gun control happens when white people get scared a black man has the same rights as them.

Just ask Dredd Scott v Sanford , or Ronald Reagan.

My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.

Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who “got ptsd” from shooting a rifle…

It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.

In other words, “This bomb explodes, big BIGGER”

I’m being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.

Or they’ll begin communicating in ways we can’t imagine, and the uprAIsing will start far sooner than we can handle.

Of course, learning like that would mean as soon as they take control, everything connected will crash and burn and send us back to the 1970s, but maybe they’ll manage to flop around on the floor long enough to wipe out humanity?

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it’s hard since good looking water seems rare.

That is some damn fine looking water

Excellent shots.

Damn, I already bought it!

… 13 years ago…

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…

I was enlisted.

I’d say it’s about 50/50 as to whether one of the women I served with could kick my ass, regardless of size.

The women who are joining the military aren’t “prissy princess I need to be pampered all the time” stereotypes these chucklefucks think they are.

And it really is a fight to prove they can do the bare minimum, even if they’re seen excelling 99% of the time. The 1% mistake will be fixated on and used as proof they can’t take it. All while ignoring the massive fuck ups from the males.

100% of them could kick one of the politicians asses in a heartbeat. especially this weeks picks.

I have no doubt that the women in the military are in far better shape to fight a war than any of their critics.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it’s extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are “I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death”

Vs

“these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives”

I know which I’d pick.

And if it’s legal to use lethal force when defending one’s life and one’s family, then it’s legal to use lethal force to defend one’s life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot who should have a dunce cap taped to their head.

I loved the Broadway musical, though I never got to see it in person.

Personally I don’t see what the big deal is with the poster. Yeah, it wasn’t the same as the original. It seemed fine to me. And yeah, they changed it to match. Also seemed fine to me.

And guess what? The woman being upset that they changed it? Seems fine to me. If my face were essentially Mike Wazowski’d off the cover of something, I’d be a little upset. Maybe not enough to make a public stir, but I’d privately bitch to people for quite some time.

I can definitely see some people considering it a PR nightmare, and do know some people who were pissed about the poster… But I just don’t get the same feelings. It’s just meh.

I’m sure plenty would say I’m just not an artist/into musical theater/whatever. Maybe that’s true.

Now let’s have this same conversation if they ever redo Fiddler On The Roof (1971), I’ll probably have much stronger opinions since I was in that one multiple times…

Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

It’s the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there’s enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake…
