And some people are trusting this man with self driving cars 😑

Actually this seems to fit pretty well with Musk’s track record of promising impossible shit. No experience in the construction industry yet has a “one size fits all” solution for covering any roof.

the “complexity of roofs varies dramatically.”

All of their wealth is ill-gotten. Every last pence of it. I know that they don’t directly take public money anymore. However, they did amass the current wealth they have now via the public dime for centuries. They would never be as wealthy today if they hadn’t done that and dabbled in the slave and opioid trades.

On the other hand I wondered if I’d witness the fall of the US in my lifetime when I was a teen. In Europe we feel like we have front row seats to “the decline and decay of the overseas empire” :)

So, my hot take on the show? I don’t think it’s as bad as people say it is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nowhere near as good as it used to be, and it still has a lot of problems and problematic elements, but the vitriol some people have for it is, I think, a bit overblown. I actually think the last few seasons have seen…

If the public has been subsidizing your mass amounts of wealth for centuries, you can’t unilaterally decide that the allocation of that same wealth isn’t in the public interest.

Oh my god it’s distasteful? Are you sure?

They did it as it’s routine. The only change was giving an actual timescale rather than indefinite.

I read Kimber’s concern for the NY sperm bank as more personal? Like maybe her husband had samples there? Or maybe she had frozen eggs there?

She does NOT seem like the “I’m doing this for the good of humanity” type character.  I mean, she immediately dismissed the fact that they had secured several sperm banks…

Idk Rob, I mean yes, obviously they all sign like 7 picture deals or whatever, but even Simu Liu said he doesn’t know how or when Shang-Chi will come back after the first movie in his interviews. He claims they haven’t filled him in yet, and honestly that’s the safest thing for Marvel to do, especially with newbies to…

The collapse isn’t the result of a sexist narrative, it’s the narrative reflecting our sexist reality - many infrastructure jobs, and most seats of political power are occupied by men, and the specialist knowledges in those jobs are largely present in men. Because, historically and presently, women are discouraged or…

You should feel sorry for SMG.  Her lack of anything resembling a career post-Buffy speaks volumes.  She’s a bad actress who was lucky enough to find a role suited enough for her to squeak by in and has done almost nothing since due to her extremely limited abilities. 

plus being capable of something is one thing, being capable of it when youve just potentially lost your father, grandfather, lover, son, brother, nephew etc all in one day is another entirely, especially when its happened to literally everyone else too, i think even the most level headed people might be losing their…

This is nonsense. First, you are assuming that newly fertilized ova would be viable if male. Secondly, you are assuming that every single fertilization would take. That’s just not how it works in real life.

One of the reasons why I liked the graphic novel was because it focused on Yorick. This show is all about the women and their struggles, which is important but it’s basically a show about the women and less about Yorick and Ampersand. I guess the show would get tiresome if it just focused the entire show on him. 

Germain had posted an article a few days back about Y The Last Man and somehow the top comment was someone stating losing half the population, all men, is a dumb premise that wouldn’t be a catastrophic world ending event.

Look, I have very strong opinions about which elite group of rich assholes has control over our culture

Except more than likely this info will go to that shift manager to resolve the situation (as well as others), I’d be surprised if the info went directly to the front line workers.

These restaurants aren’t doing this to make their employees’ lives hell, they’re doing it because the amount of time and resources spent fixing fuckups is more than the cost of installing cameras and software.
