Some asshole had the idea to water a seed and now I have to pay taxes. Fuck that guy.

When you’re 90% of the market you get away with telling everyone else to suck your dick.

The thought of having literally every tool conceivable immediately available without having to move is fantastic.

I’m in love with the concept of laying under my car, while also being able to get any particular tool in my hand, without ever having to get up, or having a little pile of sockets, wrenches, and bolts next to me that I have to navigate by feel.

Agreed. We should (in the US) pay really high salaries to government officials, especially executive office/legislators/judges. Provide huge benefits like paid education and lifetime medical coverage for children and spouses (even if you retire), and a one time home purchase up to a certain amount in any location on retirement. It’s yours and if you sell it, the income is yours too. Pension equivalent to salary, which is raised whenever it’s increased for active government officials, and continues for your spouse after you die.

But in return, you and your spouse must fully divest yourself of any investments of any kind. You must sell any properties you own beyond a home in your constituent state. A home in DC will be provided, if applicable. Your spouse also may not have investments or own properties. Your adult children may have investments if they’re managed by a blind trust.

After you retire, or “age out” at the current full social security age, or at the end of your assigned term after reaching that age, you may not ever hold another job ever again. You may not receive income in any form other than what is paid to you by the pension fund. You (and your spouse) may not own investments of any kind.

Don’t like it? Cool, don’t run for office.

Prior to collapsing, Rome achieved a sustained population in excess of a million people.

This did not occur again anywhere else until the mid 1800s.

It’s an incredibly hard read. It’s legitimately a graduate school philosophy class reading level. I would love to take that theoretical class and read along/discuss with a group but it’s hard to go through alone.

I’m convinced every “bigfoot” sighting is actually “bear with mange walking on its hind legs”

A “buddy cop” comedy movie starring Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler in which they’re firefighters who have to actually, physically fight the fires with their fists.

Text can be ambiguous, if only there were some kind of image that would could reliably it indicate the emotional context of your statements.

You know, like JIF animAted pictures

I’ve literally seen cats with more complex reasoning capabilities than Trump.

You could write an incredibly simple algorithm to accurately predict every single thing he does. He is not an actual person. He is not a human being. He’s just a sucking black hole of narcissism. He’s a creature of pure Id.

When kept separate from a receiver, it’s perfectly legal, they’re just gun parts. So just make sure you travel with it in pieces and only shoot with friends out in nature

I feel bad enough when I’m letting the tap run during dishes when it’s taking me a second to scrub something lol

I can’t for the life of me find the earlier hot pursuit ANYWHERE

On a similar note - I want a remake of mercenaries

When there’s no refunds in x period but no penalty to reschedule, so you reschedule and then cancel.

Your comment specifically said, “you’re telling us there’s an even more deadly aspect than the radiation” so I’m not sure what you’re on about my guy.

Depleted Uranium isn’t radioactive, really. U-238, stripped of all the U-235 (hence, depleted) is incredibly stable. While it is technically radioactive, it barely registers. So maybe learn what you’re talking about?

Well yeah, this tracks. House prices have stayed largely the same but interest rates have increased drastically. So you’re getting the same amount of house for huge increase in cost. When you add in wages not keeping pace with inflation and the idea that housing demand is relatively inelastic it absolutely makes sense that people are spending a bigger chunk of less valuable money on housing.
