Yeah, they’re both pieces of shit but Trump is fundamentally pretty lazy… remember when he rode around in a golf cart when he met with the G7 and they walked through Sicily?
Musk is doing a great job of taking the flak for super unpopular shit that Trump wants to do, AND he seems like he’s actually motivated to put in the work.
I also have an Apple TV and like it a lot. It’s the only Apple device I use regularly, I’m definitely not an Apple fanboy, just heard that run well and there was a specific app they support that I wanted so I went with that. Only thing I dislike is the remote. God that touch pad thing is awful. My wife says she thinks it’s because my hands are big, but idk. But other than that, great experiences with it overall.
And do what exactly? Having militaries intervene on political processes doesn’t have the best history of turning out well.
China ranks second in the world in human population, too.
Unless I misinterpreted your argument, it seemed like you were justifying this practice based on the fact that other animals besides us inflict pain and suffering on other animals. If that is the core argument, then to be logically consistent, you’d have to also be ok with us doing everything else I mentioned.
Animals also rape each other (and sometimes other species), kill the children of other fathers, urinate and shit wherever they want… To be logically consistent, you’re also arguing that all of those things are fine for us to do too.
Every tech product update: “Exciting news, we’ve now incorporated AI!” Me: Cool, how do I disable it?
Being able to grow mushrooms legally would be fucking sick and would make the next four years a bit less shitty.
Requiring students to cite work is pretty common in academic writing after middle school.
Most species of wasp are not aggressive towards humans. I work out in my garden a lot and almost never have encounters with aggressive wasps–the only time I really do is when yellow jackets create a nest in an area that I haven’t been to in a while.
I’m having a hard time actually finding a source for this. Just a few poorly written articles that basically cite this video as a source. Something this potentially impactful seems like it would make the rounds more, so I’m very skeptical.
I remember wanting to be a forum mod when I was like 15 and thought that it would make me cool on the forum. As a grown adult… no way. I am so busy between work, grad school, and my personal life, I have no time for such silliness. I have a lot of respect for mods that donate their own time to run communities.
As someone with a background in linguistics, my jimmies are indeed rustled.
The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they’d just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:
“Here’s our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!”
I have the ADHD and unless it’s a mindless task, I can’t listen to music or it makes it much harder for me to concentrate. For anyone else with the disorder, I’d encourage you to at least give it a shot working WITHOUT music and see if it improves your concentration.
Anybody can learn to grow plants. It just takes practice and learning. There’s a gazillion YouTube videos on gardening and I’m sure there’s tons on how to grow weed specifically.

My last Ford was a Focus with the dual clutch transmission, it was a complete fucking lemon (to the point where they were successfully sued over it and have done multiple recalls to fix it). I can excuse an automaker for the occasional shit car if their overall lineup is good and they’re honest with customers, but they knew the transmission was majorly flawed and continued to manufacturer vehicles that used it anyway. I’ve had it refuse to shift while I was driving on the highway before, which left me redlining at maybe 45 MPH. Dangerous and it could have gotten someone killed. I will never buy another Ford.
Try iNaturalist, it works pretty well. Also, learn plant morphology, makes it easier to narrow things down when you get a couple suggestions within the same genus or family.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the Americans who think America is better than everyone else and are always shouting it from the rooftops, are also mostly the people who think Trump is great and will approve of just about anything he does uncritically.
A lot of us are super fucking embarrassed about the way our country behaves and vote against it every time we can, it’s just unfortunately a very difficult battle and the way our elections works makes it a bit easier for Republicans to win at the national scale, generally.
