Because I’ve seen people not quite make the connection:

This behavior aligns with the mentality that anybody who doesn’t agree with her or fall in line should be killed.

I thought states that taxes groceries were the norm. If this is not true I will be even madder.

The more important question is why 50% of the population, minus ineligibles, don’t care about politics or think not voting means they have the moral high ground.

Many Americans are looking for unicorn politics and the rest of us suffer because of it.

And then you have companies like Google who are going all in on adblocking because that is their entire revenue stream.

To them your child is not a life. To fight with these cretins you need to make sure you are fighting the same fight.

People are assholes, and once the lid pops it is difficult to put it back on. What you did could have been the metaphorical straw that broke the camel’s back.

Don’t take these people seriously unless you feel that you have wronged them. They are dealing with their own shit, and you shouldn’t let them drag you into it. Apologize and move on. Anything they say after that is their poor attempt to cope with the situation.

Dem adds up to 101%

Unlike something that is made to solve a problem, AI is a poor solution looking for problems. It will never be useful unless there is a problem it actually solves, and the problems it does solve are all anti-worker and pro-capitalist. AI does not make anyone’s lives better.

My incredibly naive view on this is that with the first born the parents are full of energy and try their best to discipline (assuming the parents are not already dysfunctional human beings). When the next children come along they get progressively more tired and lax, or straight up angry and impatient. The younger kids then pick up these undesirable traits from their parents.

On the other end of the spectrum we have oldest siblings with some behavioral issues and the younger ones are like “nope, not gonna become like that myself”. I don’t feel like this group has the same controls as the other group from a study perspective.

Parents who maintain discipline with their kids through multiple kids are pretty rare and they are the unsung heroes of a civilization.

I have no sources on this except that it is this way in my family and the families of my parents friends.

I wouldn’t define that as being screwed, but they certainly are disadvantages. Fixed rates can work in your favor under certain scenarios like how the government is currently reducing bond rates which causes everyone else to lower their APY. Fixed rates mean you aren’t affected when the government decides to pay less.

If you are really looking to avoid devaluation of your portfolio then you can switch to purchasing valuable minerals like gold and silver (or the ETFs that track them), or you can invest in insured CDs. These won’t give you the big payout like stocks would, but they will never lose you money.

Just recently I sold off a lot of poor performing stocks and stocks of companies investing in AI and bought some gold and silver stocks as well as some CDs. I am not expecting to win with these - I just want to survive the inevitable market crash.

Obligatory warning, I am not a financial analyst and I will not be responsible for how you invest your money.

I don’t trust health advice from a man that looks like a plastic tomato.

No. Monopolies that are monopolies because they offer a superior product that others don’t offer absolutely deserve their success. Monopolies that are monopolies because they hold others back absolutely should be broken up. The difference is in why they are a monopoly.

There are certain nuances when a company is too big to compete with - things like YouTube where video hosting is hella expensive. That is a grey area that I do not have an educated opinion on.

Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.

Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.

I’m living through number one right now. The confusion isn’t the bad part. The bad part is being fully conscious of your confusion, almost like you are in a body floating over your own watching you do and think stupid shit you know you would never do. It is legitimately horrifying watching myself slip further and further by the day and nobody seems to think there is a problem.

Political stuff aside, 2026 has been really rough personally as well. I’m already done with this year.

Most supermarkets in my area, not just Costco, have one.

“Blame the author, not the language”

Says the person who screams they have never worked professionally with a team before.

There is no excuse to not use statically typed, safe languages nowadays. There are languages that let you build faster like Python and Typescript, but faster does not mean safer. Even if your code is flawless it still isn’t safe because all it takes is a single flawed line of code. The more bug vectors you remove the better the language is.

There are dangerous precedents they don’t want to set in the extremely rare case Democrats actually do something in office.

Because most CEOs are wholely incompetent and don’t know how to run a successful business.
