Compare and contrast to Slate’s headline about the same speech: “Biden Nailed it Down”. Their article managed a bit of nuance, noting some things they didn’t like about the speech without the backhanded compliments and petulant whining about irrelevant nonsense. I increasingly go there and to Vox to read a…

Trump’s entire strategy seems to be built around convincing people that he’s not actually running against Joe Biden, but rather against some kind of doppelgänger who holds entirely different positions—or, alternatively, against a shadowy cabal of radical leftists who are just pulling his feeble-minded strings. Joe…

I really like all the Schmidt’s flavors, and they’re more effective than most other natural deodorants out there... but they actually did make me break out in horrific rashes, so I had to stop using them. I recently discovered “crystal rock” deodorants that don’t smell like anything, but keep me from smelling like a…

I managed to pick up a box of 12 pairs of cartridges before those started to sell out / skyrocket in price. It’s not really enough, but I guess it’s something.

I bought a 3M 7502 respirator yesterday that makes me look like Bane, so... mission accomplished?

All his songs aren’t about cowboy stuff... he put out an EP with 8 songs on it in 2019, and only 3 of them were even vaguely country or cowboy-related (2 were different mixes of Old Town Road, the other one was this song). But honestly, since country-rap is kind of the main thing he’s famous for, would it be such a…

Well, I can tell you from personal experience that what you went through is at least better than being at your parent’s house for almost a week and having Fox News on the television every waking moment...

These days 2 grand will get you a ‘decent’ road bike. like, decent for a beginner.

Myself, to counteract this I have focused on myself and building myself up both physically and mentally and know what its worked.

It’s possible that they might be doing some kind of traffic shaping or throttling specifically for BitTorrent traffic, because handling a lot of that stuff completely unmanaged could adversely impact service for every other traffic class.

With a bit of engineering, you can set up a home VPN server that’s isolated from the rest of your network and only exists as an encrypted pathway from wherever you are to the Internet. You could also set it up in a cloud-hosted VM, which could be an expensive headache if you don’t know what you’re doing, but would…

Well, yes, that’s really the point. Sometimes a war, a terrorist attack, massive protests, or other world-altering events manage to penetrate the veil of complacency for a little while, forcing disengaged people off the sidelines and capturing our collective attention. 2016-present is one such time.

I honestly think people have nearly forgotten what the world was like before ~2015. Yes, George Bush is a bad man who did terrible things and caused the unnecessary deaths of many thousands of people. He was also in power during a vastly different time in world history, when trust in institutions was significantly…

Family Guy? Yes, I agree! Rick and Morty? No, because I choose not to let the fact that a bunch of shitty, toxic neckbeards are big fans of it for all the wrong reasons ruin my own enjoyment of one of the best animated shows of the past decade. You’re free to disagree, of course—there’s no accounting for taste. But…

Guys, can you BELIEVE that this politician likes [POPULAR THING]? What a fucking putz, amirite?!?

Yeah, I mean... if it’s there, it’s almost certainly been there since literally the beginning of time. It hasn’t really affected us at all up to this point, unless you count the occasional asteroid or comet it might have flung in our direction. So, ah, unfortunately, we’re going to have to continue living in this hell…

Tomato, shut up, the fuck, etc.

It certainly is a complex issue. I’m an Anglo who’s been here for ten years, and I don’t claim to understand all the nuances of the subject. I do have friends who identify as Hispanic (and reject other terms) and have told me their reasons for doing so, but they obviously can’t speak for every person of Spanish…
