It’ll do almost nothing. But it’s a good circle jerk kind of moment, especially for politicians.

Yeah. The thing is the vast majority of people are like “oh that’ll never be me! I’m a special unique snowflake that everybody loves and values”. Normally I would say, and the grocery bagging jobs are filled with people with that mentality, but today EVEN THOSE jobs are no longer available to the old, because young…

Just ask anyone who’s 50+ (and worse 60+) if they were in the job market how easy it was for them to find a new job. Even for highly specialized skills, it’s a giant pain in the ass to get a new job in advanced age, and if you’re just a worker bee in your mid 50s you’re looking at scraps at best. There’s a gazillion…

A lot of people shouldn’t have been born. I mean sure, you can make a list of murderers, politicians, rapists, and just plain ol’ assholes like myself, but you don’t know that until the damn humans grow up a bit.

So this is all theater for now so it gets to the Supreme Court’s desk. But say this world goes to hell in a handbasket, and abortions are illegal unless medical emergency. Can good Samaritan doctors (and their nursing staff) just put on paper that the woman was going in distress, life at risk, etc. etc. and they had…

A) That’s creepy. Not just in the deepfakery way of it all, but it made a normally-ish looking human look like the creepy peeping tom uncle who has a shag carpet van and is handing out candy. So congrats on that I guess?

I dunno. If you’re raising a boy and teaching them that no, doesn’t necessarily mean no, doesn’t sound like the best idea long term.  Also you’re setting yourself up to be pestered infinitum even when you actually do mean no, end of story.

I keep that particular document indefinitely. I know the general rule of thumb is 7 years, but in this day and age keeping a few pages document once a year in archive is as easy as can be. And yes, chances are I won’t ever need them, but at the very least it’ll make a fun (or sad) thing to look back at 30 years from…

Most places with lower cost of living have much lower salaries as well. You can’t move from San Francisco to middle of the sticks nowhere and expect to still earn $100K. Unless your job is 100% remote - in which case you’ve struck gold.

I’m sorry, but I’m simply against anything and everything that’s telling me I can’t have pizza, or chocolate or whatever whenever I want. I don’t care if it’s Christianity, or Islam, or some ex-fat-chick-who’s-now-skinny on TV.

I’m probably the wrong person, as saying NO is one of my favorite things. Or maybe I’m the right one? Ehhhh. You have to say no, not just for dating but for most things. It’s the whole “it’s not personal, but it IS personal, but you shouldn’t take it that way”. I’m what most in PC america would call an asshole, but…

Meh, people generally are dumb and lack foresight. These same folks who crave convenience for everything and at any price will be working till they’re 90 and peeing their pants.

So much politically “correct” crap, it’s mind boggling. Of course don’t expect a balanced debate on gizmodo even if you’re remotely conservative or reasonable (they’ll lump you immediately with the batshit crazy Trumpists). Ironically kind of like how the media lumps illegal and legal immigrants in the same pile.

Maybe lead by example? I may be thinking WAY outside of the box here, but seems like a good first step. Otherwise the whole the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree bit...

Not disagreeing with you per se, but they also had this:

But on the other hand:

If you’re not seeing it, and hearing it, you’ve already drank the coolaid and are making my point for me.

The dems playing field looks like what the repiblican playing field did last election cycle - a bunch of circus clowns running around and spewing so much bullshit, we have enough fertilizer for the next 100 years.

“You Probably Got a Tax Cut, Even if It Doesn’t Feel Like It”

Lol, if you’re milking the system at least learn how to do it right -
