Woo-hoo! Twenty-five smackeroos! That’s enough to buy the 20W USB charger that used to come free with the iPhone! Well, provided we ignore sales tax and shipping costs, of course.

I had a chance to meet this extraordinary young man and his mother years ago at his family’s restaurant here in Gary. He was working behind the counter, and we chatted about his love of cooking. Just an incredibly sweet kid. May he rest in peace, reunited with his mom.

Tesla is currently valued higher than Toyota. Toyota sells more Rav4s in America than Tesla sells cars worldwide..

Rest in Peace young Master Chef. May the ancestors welcome you with open arms.

In fact, it continues to lose money.

I mean, when it’s a 5-7 dollar service/delivery fee ordering from an indie pizza place and a fee structure of 8-10 dollars for fast food, it’s like.... what the fuck?Between constantly fleecing restaurant owners for upwards of 30% and charging customers an extra 30%, how are they losing money? drivers? 

The twins suns of Tatooine turn Ewan McGregor into Alec Guiness!

I’m intrigued by the idea of Mando belonging to a fundamentalist Mandalorian breakaway sect, The Children Of The Watch; it gives his character a new dimension, suggesting that the battle-hardened warrior may actually be a sheltered innocent in the context of the larger Mandalorian world.

I had been thinking that even after all his screw-ups, if he had just let a second round of stimulus checks go through in October, the bastard would probably have won easily. It would have been the easiest, most half-ass measure ever, and he still didn't do it. 

Take it very seriously. Then intent doesn’t matter. The actions do. And regardless of how long the odds are, Trump and all his minions all over the country from Justice of the Supreme Court to local poll watcher are all trying to steal the election for him. That’s what matters. They are trying to do it.

I’m glad they confirmed that Mando’s just in a weird sect of the Mandalorians so nerds can stop arguing about whether wearing the helmet at all times is canon. Who am I kidding, us nerds are going to argue about everything, forever.

All he had to do, literally, was tell people to wear masks and pretend to care. He would have won the election. He’s spent his whole life doing as little as possible and whining about not getting enough credit. 

The irony is that if Trump put half the effort he put into actually trying to pull off this out in the open coup, he’d have probably gotten a lid on COVID-19 and legit won his own reelection.

It’s kind of weird seeing a boat in Star Wars.

Just like that “trickle down” will work any second...NOW!!!

Came here to say exactly this. People with the predisposition to fall for snake oil pitches will fall for almost anything that is framed correctly and fed to them the right way. Critical thinking and skepticism are vital to navigating the modern world without being duped. It’s one reason having a higher education is…

Oddly I was reading a novel yesterday, with the main action set around the mid 90s, in which a child dies because his parents believed

“The satanic cabal that has been ruling the world for thousands of years is about to be exposed and exterminated.”

The wellness movement is largely built on the magical thinking we can control our fate with the correct behavior. Surely if we do enough yoga and eat only the correct things and find inner peace we’ll never ever get sick.

It makes sense that the “essential oils” crowd would fall for this QAnon nonsense. I haven’t met a single person who peddles essential oils who hasn’t been a complete dingbat.
