Younger people should solve it for themselves.

This is the boomer mindset that got us all into this mess. Fuck you.

Just part of a long trend of devaluing all artistic pursuits.

There’s lot to be said for physical safety features like side and curtain airbags, or better crumple zones that don’t crush your feet, but those were pretty much standard by 2012 so you can have those without all the computer nightmares.

Does yours not look like that?

I’m so tired of Petey Potatotown.

Neither of these men would go to Costco. Dale because they require membership with a photo ID and he doesn’t want to be tracked, Hank because it’s essentially collective bargaining with manufacturers and that’s Communism. (Peggy would absolutely love it, Bobby is excited by all the free samples, and Hank might be swayed by the end of the episode because of the principled stance on what things “ought to cost”.)

ETA: Rusty Shackleford might go to Costco.

America will only vote for a moleMAN.

I hope not, I’m pretty convinced that jury duty is a bad idea because average citizens are very easily misled by legal professionals.

I lost a cat that way. It sucked, they seemed confused and scared and in pain. So, you know, fingers crossed.

There’s like fifty layers of context involved but the short version is that we’re currently losing the American Civil War that never properly ended because we didn’t hold the traitors to account. The nation hasn’t been this divided since we had separate drinking fountains for black people. I’d bet that most Americans on this platform did not choose ignorance and pettiness.

If he cancels the elections for a naked coup it will be a lot easier to convince other nations to help us than if he cancels elections in response to violence.

Sounds like the solution is slower night driving, not brighter lights. Blinding the oncoming driver gets stupider the faster you’re going.

Expensive for little-to-no benefit.

It should. Various world governments have been giving us far too much leeway, however.

I’m used to the Pacific Northwest and don’t do real mountaineering so the 2-3km+ summits are beyond me. Even the 10 mile (whoops, switching units) glacier hike I did in Alaska only went up about 2000 feet. I prefer long walks over steep ones.

I was ready to poke fun at the UK because 1km is an unimpressive peak but I see that most the trails start pretty much at sea level so that is one hell of a walk. (And half a million people do it every year!)

That’s also perfectly valid. Personal taste is always a component of art; expert musicians aren’t all jazz fans.

The 1960s called and want their generalization back. https://www.brewersfriend.com/2017/05/07/beer-styles-abv-chart-alcohol-by-volume-ranges-2017-update/

What spelling? Hungover means “experiencing a hangover”.

I’ll challenge stupid-ass ideas in public spaces. Not because I think it makes a difference for the source but just to ensure other people see an alternative. Theological and ethical debates can be fun and rewarding with people you share mutual respect, not with anonymous jackasses looking to get a rise out of folks.
