People that need to buy the newest, biggest, most expensive shit out of vanity always get judged. Just not the way they’d like.

Adamsomething covered this a while ago.
tldw; lifting solid mass isn’t very efficient and have “too many moving parts” issues. Moving water with pumps to higher planes, and letting it down with turbine generators works though.

Not dead, but throw Paul Pelosi on that list.

I mean, yeah. Not even a joke.

By adding artificial ham flavoring. This stuff lists itself as being vegan. Not sure about the walmart beans though.

Maybe the screen process wasn’t as good when mother had to look. Small rocks are just going to be something that gets picked up occasionally if they’re being machine harvested.

I will never remember his name. He will always be The Bean Guy to me.

That happened to my mother. Now she wants me to fix that shit and I just tell her I don’t know how to.

I once swore infront a bunch of other adults in a non-work, but professional and someone stopped me to point it out. I paused, looked around for any kids and when I didn’t see any, pointed out it was fine. They were on the conservative side, but I’m not bending at the knee for that shit.

Must have slipped through the cracks.

Yeah. Found the source. There’s a lot of other Onion-esque satire science papers on it. Unfortunately, they also use AI images.

The only one I give a shit about is pets, but all the others are good reasons to avoid other human beings.
It gets weird when gossips try telling you about their neighborhood and don’t understand why you’re uninterested.

They look like every other SUV on the market. These things are designed by commity and focus groups.

- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 2 weeks ago:
Dimpled chads and the Brooks Brothers riots. The Jingoism that followed 9/11 masked the turn things would be taking.
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really attach myself to things with vague meanings anymore. I dropped Dilbert out of boredom long before Scott Adams really went mask off, but it’s a good example of people putting their own meanings to vague media. I’m just explaining why people here might like a comic without knowing it’s origin.
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 2 weeks ago:
It’s vague enough that people can insert their own meaning into it. Could be Trans issues, could be gymbro stuff, could be manosphere shit.

Fast Food use to be cheap and marketed to kids. The food itself never changed, but now it’s expensive and marketed to adults.

Inactive Myostatin gene or it’s equivalent if they’re alien.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
Paw Patrol is a regular length cartoon with a real, albeit basic, plot. I’m talking Cocomelon or Five Finger Family or other short form shit.
I don’t know a toddler parent that has the time to download a curated media library for their kids
No. Curating what your child consumes, both dietary and cultural, is the basic requirement raising a child. It takes very little tech skills to download files and load them on a device. Even just an old school portable dvd player and a disc wallet is preferable. The point isn’t to cut all media, but to cut the short form shit the drains attention. Even a show with a plot that takes ~22 minute to get to the end teaches some degree of patience.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
So don’t give a tablet then. Or if you do, don’t have Apps like that. Get an wifi only android tablet, install VLC and specific shows and games. Real games and real shows. Not short form shit or bs mobile “games”.

Most of the ocean plastic is from fishing nets. If we wanted to solve that, we’d go back to hemp fiber nets that biodegrade.

Reality has a left bias.
