It’s common for conservatives - their humor is pretty much entirely based on mocking or laughing at a marginalized group they consider lower than themselves.
After six years of running Blue Origin, Bob Smith announced in a company-wide email on Monday that he will be "stepping aside" as chief executive of the space company founded by Jeff Bezos....
I think it’s somewhat the opposite. Being forced to pay an extortionate price because otherwise you will be homeless, lose your possession, live on the street, beg friends or family for help, or live in a homeless shelter, isn’t a free market.
What I find interesting is when landlords talk to each other, it’s “passive income!” but when they talk to the public, it’s so much work, and they’re providing housing to people out of altruism.
Yeah, when prices rise precipitously for no real reason, people always say “it’s permanent!”, and it never is. Steady increases over time, sure. But there was no reason for say, houses near me to go from 250k to 425k in 3 years all of a sudden.

It would be nice if my pancreas actually worked all the way.
Other than that, i’d like to be able to fill my balls with helium so I could float around.
I’m thinking about sports as an example. I used to do fencing, and sometimes we would learn a new technique or I would imagine one to do, and I would imagine myself doing it, then it was almost like autopilot where my body would do it just how I imagined, like it was easy. It didn’t happen very often but when it did it felt...
Sounds vile. It was surprising they even brought charges against him. Maybe how he individually threatened lawmakers about their reelection (or who knows what else) helped him. Or perhaps whatever persuaded the woman who had the affair to not testify (could it be witness intimidation perhaps?).

More of a traditional New Mexico Pueblo apartment, especially with the ladder, Adobe and vigas. Check out Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier National Monument or Taos Pueblo.

My Windows 10 machine comes up from sleep when nobody is anywhere near it. Seems weird to me. Also sometimes I wake it, sign in and the folder Music>Pictures (the regular Pictures folder… for some reason that’s where it is) is open in explorer. Couldn’t figure out whether it’s malware or Microsoft.
It probably is that, makes sense. Not sure what devices would be doing it… (Xfinity router?). I even moved to a new house with different devices, router etc and it still did that.
Like on reddit, positive visibility. Voting manipulation could affect which posts are shown as Hot or Active. Reddit also hides comments with many downvotes, which thankfully isn’t a thing here.
I never install an app if I can do something through a website. Twitbook, reddit, Instagram, whatever. If it really requires an app I generally choose to just not do it.
Yeah, I’ve never intentionally clicked on a Temu ad. Browsers do provide an additional layer of security as far as access permissions for mobile devices, though they can of course be exploited as well.
Sigh, I was a sysadmin on my own system from 1999-2008 and on a busy server from 2008-2012… then essentially quit. Now with flatpak and snaps it seems I have no idea what I am doing.
I don’t really use any myself, but I wish I had a good suggestion. Obviously Imgur, reddit and YouTube exist but have their own issues (but, not weird spam ad redirects, just persistent spying). Perhaps YouTube but link to one of the YouTube anonymizers?
I view not returning carts as inconsiderate or lazy, but most employees I’ve heard discuss this say they don’t mind going out to get carts, because they get the chance to be out of the store for a while.
It’s odd how they seem to despise American liberals more than they do the extreme right wing of the US (as in, mainstream “conservatives”). Kind of suspicious really.
Back when it was on reddit the politics of chapostraphouse pretty much confused the fuck out of me. This image here is a good example. Nobody who is “left” or even “lib” would think that trump is anything but a lying criminal fascist douchebag, and would strongly question his motives for “ending the Korean war”, which seemed to be clumsily attempting to cozy up to a brutal dictator who he admired. So what are they talking about? Who knows. I don’t think they really know.
I made this as a gift, but long story short I don’t have the right yarn colours or the right sized hook or the right eyes. So I improvised. Hoping it still reads as the animal I intended!...
I don’t think people really want a bunch of automated reddit reposts. The posts seem to draw little engagement. It adds up to the oddest way to use reddit, and if you want to use reddit, might as well just go there.
