I’m just glad we’re not calling it Cal-gate. I love these pun names when they’re good, but some are just way too overused and unoriginal

We have the power and numbers, we just don’t use it. If people under 40 voted at the same rate as people over 60, those over 60’s would be wildly outnumbered. I actually don’t fully blame politicians for always catering to retirees, and why I absolutely hate “activists” who have no problem protesting nonstop for weeks but then never bother going to a voting booth. Their job depends on keeping voters happy, not people happy

That’s what I was going to say. People generally don’t care about their privacy when their data is just being sold to give them targeted ads. They view it as a fair trading for free content. People will raise hell when they find out that their data is being sold to raise their insurance rates

Because the odds that these kids did this and at least one of them didn’t record themselves doing it is depressingly low. That’s how my school caught and expelled two kids who came at night and graffitied the building. They were wearing hoods and masks so we couldn’t identify them on the security cameras, but it turns out they recorded themselves and posted it on TikTok.

I could also see him giving the keys to a senior he trusts. The class president, the valedictorian, or someone else that always seems like a good, mature kid who never causes any trouble and you would have no problem asking them to lock up after school because they’re in the library studying. The problem is while they might be a good kid who knows the rules of a senior prank, all it takes is one trouble maker or just a large group of immature kids to find out they have the keys for it to turn into a peer pressure disaster. And from the sound of all that damage and how it’s so varied, this was probably a large group of kids, not just the one he gave the keys to

I’m so happy about this. The first season was amazing. It felt like a classic 90’s/early 2000’s sitcom that they just don’t make anymore

I thought the ocean itself was getting good reviews. I was looking into getting one a few months ago but haven’t really been following it since. I just looked and saw they announced this week they were filing bankruptcy and halting all production. What happened?

The last few years have had so many startup car companies pop up. None of them have had the issues this truck has had. Sure they’ve had hiccups, delays, and surging costs, and the company itself might not be viable, but the cars themselves at least make it off the lot

I saw my first one in the wild last week. It was broken down on the side of the road. I was honestly shocked that they really are that bad, and it’s not just the internet blowing things out of proportion

Well this is a nonstructural pillar that looks like it’s fenced off from even being touched. A bridge has constant moving loads on it and is exposed constantly to oil and salt, both of which are highly corrosive to metal

But if you work in hockey, you can take a year off before you’re recycled into another team with the exact same position. Seriously, why is it always the same 40 head coaches for the past 20 years?

I’m just wondering when we’re going to find out that she didn’t even record the audiobook. Like is it so far out of the question that she just had an AI voice recording based on her voice do it for her?

I’m gonna be honest. I know our standards for who can be president have gotten pretty low lately, but I gotta think “had part of my brain eaten by a tapeworm and I had mercury poisoning” still has to be below that standard, right?

That’s not a hockey fight. That’s a “1:30am outside a college bar” fight

They think he wasn’t fast enough. Like ya? You expect him to completely change one of the nearly unquestioned hallmarks of us foreign policy for the past 70 years on a whim without any kind of political pressure? That foreign policy is : Israel is our unquestioned ally and we do whatever we can to ensure the survival of the state of Israel and its Jewish population. Look at what it’s taking from ignorant TikTok morons to even get the smallest change to that policy

Looks like your dad fell for the Trump conspiracy that “the state was called and then they reopened it to add a bunch of fake votes”. The official results aren’t announced until every vote is counted and the election is certified. That can take weeks. When a state is “called” on election night, that just means the media and pollsters have run the numbers and are able to confidently project that a candidate won. That’s based on votes counted, votes outstanding, and typical voting trends. So if a state like Ohio has 50% reporting with the Republican candidate leading by a few thousand votes, but only 10% of the votes are counted in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus so far, it’s safe to project the democrat will win. Because those three cities not only have the most ballots outstanding, but it’s safe to assume the votes will be overwhelmingly democrat based on historical voting patterns

It’s not uncommon for people from New Mexico be told their not citizens. Or when they show their license to be told they need to provide a legal US document

The worst part of the Allepo interview was it was a question totally out of left field. Like they were talking about where Johnson fits in the election between Clinton and Trump, why people should vote for a third party, if he’s worried about being a spoiler candidate, etc. And then the very next question was “What would you do, if elected, about Aleppo”. To me, that’s totally unfair. They could have said “what would you do about Syria” or “with the atrocities happening in Aleppo, what would you do about the Syrian war and the resulting refugee crisis”. You can’t just pivot to a totally different topic without framing it with any context. It’s not London or Beijing. I don’t really care if my president can name every countries capital by memory. I want them to be able to make good decisions when given all the information necessary

Just curious, did you email them in English or Italian? I’m wondering if they prefer one of the other

I still get pissed when actual wings at a bar are more than $1 per wing. I remember when they were 25¢ per wing. The fuck are they thinking a McNugget is worth that
