“An equivalent value of gold or silver” LOL. Dude, if you’re so far down the rabbithole that you don’t understand why it’s wildly inappropriate to compare the mining of naturally scarce actual metals with the “mining” of artifically scarce electronic tokens, you’re not gonna have much luck with the whole “yeah I…

For one, it sounds like on-board video confirms that the pedestrian unexpectedly swan dived into the road from between some parked cars.

To be fair, Obama had the better part of a decade’s experience as a state Senator, extensive experience in grass-roots political organization, and was a Harvard-educated lawyer. It may not be the exact same thing.

This is so dumb. I don’t care how bright Cynthia Nixon is—she’s very bright—she’s not qualified to be the governor of the state of New York any more than the guy sitting in the White House was qualified to be president of the United States.

Because it doesn’t matter if her policy positions are perfectly aligned with my own, I don’t think a career actress Hollywood-anything is capable of handling the responsibilities of governorship of one of our most important states.

I’ve been shitposting for free for like fifteen years. I am neither happy, nor fulfilled, nor paid.

Have we really gotten to the point where any focus on black boys has to be met with bitching from certain black women?

for the “not slowing down fast enough” guy, yeah, when you hit that 45 mph speed limit sign, the speed limit is 45mph. Not “I’m slowing down now from 55mph”. He was legitimately pulled over and then gave the cop attitude about it.

6'1 here who has flown far too much and it doesn’t really bother me at all unless I am trying to work on my laptop.

To add to this - the English landlords divided and subdivided their land so much that the only crop a farmer could grow in their small patch that would support their family for the year was potatoes. When the harvest failed, they had nothing to eat...even though ships of food streamed out from their country.

Given how contentious the discussion about this topic typically gets. I’d rather see a design solution that would accomplish 2 things.

normal average sized human here.

Neutral: My stance on a lot of Trump’s policies is that they may have worked if our government instituted them 50 years ago when we still had a solid manufacturing base and we were not so dependent on imports. If back then we levied reciprocal tarrifs on imports as our trade partners levied on us, we might have…

Any worthwhile protest has always had risk and consequences for the protesters. It’s what gives the protests meaning. It’s why we take them seriously.

Civil disobedience without negative consequences isn’t really disobedience. In fact, I’d argue that the negative consequences are the most powerful component of such action.

I’m an engineer at a company that makes emissions-related components.

I feel like it should be a picture you’d want your family to use if you were missing: accurate, because they need to fucking find you, but flattering, because it will be on the news and stuff.

My go-to old-man complaint is outdoor cats.

1st Gear: German engineering used to mean something positive in automotive circles. I would not be inclined to own a *modern* VW outside of a warranty. And for damn sure I would not own a Audi outside a warranty. The Koreans, Japanese, and now even American makers are better than 90% of what comes from Gerrrr-many.
