- Comment on Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc) 3 weeks ago:
My secret shame, which is bad apparently, is that if I’m in an adjacent lane on the side lane of the road, waiting stationary, trying to merge into oncoming traffic, I don’t indicate until I feel like there’s less cars coming and more gaps. This is where my wife freaks out at my lack of assertiveness, it isn’t a lack of confidence and I’m not hesitating, I feel that having turn signal-fu can be an ace up your sleeve in my opinion.

And… Trump folds while China holds. 80% is way too high to negotiate with.

- Comment on We've learned a lot about Garcia over the last few weeks. It's getting pretty difficult to sort all this stuff out... 2 months ago:
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution establish the right to due process. It ensures that no person is deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Due process applies to everyone, including the undocumented and because Kilmar wasn’t afforded this right, any accusation can be used against him at this point.

Tim Pool doesn’t have a formal education beyond the fifth grade - White House press room access sounds like a perfect fit here.

Hey Banana, do you want to talk about violent sex crimes that I think you’ve been thinking about, the ones that I’ve been thinking you might be thinking about doing?

- Comment on What should I do with this patio? 2 months ago:
I’d cover it with something more attractive. If drainage isn’t an issue, I’d consider a floating deck with planters on the sides. Otherwise, I might remove the concrete and plant culinary or exotic plants for effect. It would be interesting to know how you plan to use this area. If it’s for kids, the approach would differ from adult outdoor dining and recreation. Personally, I’d go for a floating deck with planters or potted plants on the edges or paving to maintain the theme. I’d love to see a BBQ area, plants, a deck, and landscaping lights.

What an intense read: --“the propensity that all of us have for leading contradictory lives. We have a great capacity for compartmentalizing as humans.” --Telegram has been a conduit for years for the slow radicalization of white supremacist ideologies, as it has been for many other taboo subjects. The platform has been a honey trap for recruitment and propaganda for years, as well as for authorities to identify who is consuming and hence playing out the content.

- Comment on Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ‘worse than tariff’ 3 months ago:
Hey, don’t get me wrong; I’m a big fan of jean culture and reminiscing about the past. My wife loves low-waist fashion, but when we’re on the street, we both get thrown by seeing young trends with high-waisted late 80s-style jeans or new 90s-style acid wash nonsense and overly ripped threads. As for the quality, I think we’ve done a 180 on what denim was actually made for (hint: not fashion). It stands as a kind of euphemism for the state of commercial American fashion culture. I never thought a pair of 501s would be retailed as a throwaway fashion accessory, also I can’t help but acknowledge that the “American Made” tag hasn’t been the case for many years.
- Comment on Gotcha! 3 months ago:
Let me fix this;
You say that you stand for rightwing MAGA and stand for social injustices, but if there were social injustices there would be no need for MAGA. Do you wish to end your own existence? Gotcha!
Societal injustice is not an option under a dictatorship. You reap what you sow.
- Comment on Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ‘worse than tariff’ 3 months ago:
TIL - Levi Strauss & Co., one of the world’s most iconic denim manufacturers, a brand that exemplifies many aspects of the American Dream, is made in:
Bangladesh Cambodia China India Sri Lanka Vietnam Bangladesh Cambodia China India Sri Lanka Vietnam Mexico Nicaragua Haiti
Not anymore made in the USA. Changing economic realities and global manufacturing has changed things for decades, trade agreements have been the reason why Americans can afford their lifestyles. So get ready to pay upwards of $300 for a pair of jeans people.
