If you want to test this, start up conversations with the combat vets around you. You might not like the answers. That’s the vast majority of killers I’ve known (that I’ve known).

As the owner of an historic property, really in a fully socialist or communist state, we would be knocking old houses down to make way for multifamily dwellings. Maybe that would be better. I can’t stomach the thought, although, amusingly, I can’t afford the upkeep on my own house, nor can I afford to sell it and move elsewhere. The golden handcuffs that rot while you are stuck in them.

That gives me a headache thinking about it, I don’t want to engage that much of my brain when gaming.

This right here is why we can’t have nice things.

Well you take a 30¢ sensor and put a GM part number on it and magically poof it costs $300.

Yep I’ve recently learned that a crushed bumper can total a car, there’s thousands of dollars of electronics in there somehow, it’s insane. I miss that car.

We were raised with “pride,” not necessarily racially or ethnocentric, but a broader sense that transcended such boundaries. I grew up in the 80s-90s in the midwest, and we were taught America was a “melting pot” of cultures, ideas, and races, and that we should look forward to a time when whites are not the majority because the lines will fall away, the average color will be brown as we all mix over the next generations, giving us less reason to fight. And we should look forward to it, because that’s been our story so far - broken, impoverished immigrants came here looking for opportunity, and found it through hard work and smart thinking, and then became a part of our shared tapestry. We were taught to be proud of this, that we were stewards of this tradition in the best, most advanced country in the world.

And now, well. The basest instincts of people have been brought to the surface and America now stands as an openly white nationalist, isolationist, fascist-tinged autocracy where the ideals I grew up with seem long antiquated.

So yeah hard not to feel ashamed of what’s happened to our shared identity in just a few decades.

Yeah that extra circuitry costs 400mAh vs my rechargeables with a base, plus it makes them more stealable.

I became a dad at 43, not what I expected, and it is softening me in ways I always hoped for, and never thought I’d see. My family’s rage problem has to stop with me, he can’t see it.

This also applies to houses, boats, and inevitably surrogates now that they’re using them like pack mules.

My dog and I mostly have normal conversations but sometimes he gets in moods and is just goofy.

Depending on your location the wasted water from letting the faucet run can be much more valuable than the energy needed to maintain a circ system, however install cost is high and the lines need to be entirely insulated so really, new construction works best. I wanted it on my house but I think it’d just drive costs way up, especially with a tankless as it’d be firing all the damn time.

Well that does explain why in the Book of Mormon, Jesus dies at 63 of microplastic related lung cancer. 63. Too young.

It’s soooo much easier to be a class traitor when you don’t realize you’re part of that class

They do have networks of radiation sensors and reporters because of the guy who built an atomic device out of smoke detectors, giving himself and others radiation poisoning. Also, there have been some nuclear weapons go a tiny bit permanently missing, and suitcase-size dirty bombs were a huge scare for a hot minute, etc etc.

Honestly it’s really shocking we escaped the past century alive.

Purple, green, pinks and oranges (that’s the blood in my eyelids I think). If I rub my eyes, the pixellated screensavers get wild, which I think means you’re not supposed to do that.

Didn’t the pope already say it was sacrilegious to do this?

All the AIs are trained on public domain texts like the bible, just prompt your favorite AI to take on the role.

But there are issues of perspective even within the bible, like who are the reliable narrators? Who was pushing an obvious agenda or how was the text changed in the ensuing millennia? AI is not a biblical scholar, that’s a whole different, more complex concept.

People will just use this as confirmation bias of whatever they want to believe about the bible.

Pants go down to ankles

Underwear go down to ankles

And then the helicopter starts up

Thank you, yeah I took a $30k pay cut into my current job after being laid off for 5 months, which destroyed us. Now I have to figure out how to consolidate and secure all the debt so we can get enough credit to consolidate and secure all the debt :) Hoping for a reversal like you, glad you found it.

What would Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey say about this extravagant internet connection you’re using right now? And did you eat today? Just expense after expense with you.
