don't underestimate how lazy and stupid even the smartest person can be.

I dont give a fuck about democrat shows.

I give a shit about them stopping voting with republicans to enable trumps fuckawful shit.

"SHUT UP ABOUT THE THING I SWORE TO YOU THAT I'D FIX DAY 1! STOP HOLDING ME ACCOUNTABLE! "

'comes out swinging' is any reaction thats not paying the legalized bribe that is the demanded settlement when trump files a bullshit lawsuit against you, so you can pay him to keep access.

I wear size 16 shoes.

Trust me when I say, big feet does not mean big anything else.

It doesnt even mean average anything else.

And then, when you do order some shoes, it’s 50-50 one company’s size 15 will have the same dimensions as the last or next company. I know this may not be a unique problem to big shoes, but it makes it that much more difficult.

No, its not unique to shoes... its a major issue across all clothing.

There are no standards in sizing in anything in clothing. Hell the same company might not even respect its own sizing across batches of the same product, much less across various product lines under its name.

Its infuriating trying to buy clothes because of it.

because online shoe buying is wasteful and slow unless you get stupendously lucky and get a perfect fit on your first order.

because X brands size isnt exactly the same as Y brands size. G model from the same brand might run narrower than F model.

Which ends up in tons of wasted time and energy shipping things back and forth.

vs going to a shoe store, trying things on, and being done and wearing your new shoes out inside half an hour.

where you shoe shopping?

I wear size 16 shoes and never really had a problem finding shoes at places like Footlocker or Famous Footwear.

They don't always have my size in exactly what I'm looking at, but when they don't they've always had it in a similar style/brand.

thats what /s is for.

Hit the nail on the head here.

5 bucks says the "suspects" all end up being gay, women, or non-white. You know. the same groups of people they blame everything on.

Your regular reminder that polygraphs are junk science that arent admissible in court.

You'd be just as successful finding the truth by hiring a phrenologist to study the bumps of peoples heads.

I wouldnt be so sure about that. I've heard people say stuff that was mindbogglingly dumber than that, completely seriously.

Where did anyone say anything remotely like that?

House quality is already in the shitter. Hell, not even the shitter, its down the pipe and in the septic tank.

and its not cause home owners doing repairs.

Its cause developers spinning up an LLC, buying a plot of land, shitting out a development of 300+ homes in less than 6 months that just barely meet the barest minimum of code (and anything that doesnt typically given a slide thanks to a few greased palms), just to sell all the homes in the mad housing rush before shutting down the LLC and walking away with all the money and no liability on the terrible houses they've built that arent suitable for living in.

CyFy on youtube highlights the problem a lot (and how hard the builders and bribed inspectors go after him for threatening the grift).

And I have own personal experience witnessing more well off friends struggle with newly bought houses being built like shit at best, to needing 10s, to 100s of thousands of dollars in repairs less than a year after purchase at worse.

Thats some goddamn thought police shit.

Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.

and to deliever america (and greenland and canada) to russia, for their master Putin.

My laptop is the only device I have that isnt linux, lol. I otherwise came over a long time ago :p

Its why my laptop is still on windows 10

Cause the last time I tried to put linux on it (admittedly this was like..6 years ago), it was an absolute fucking nightmare.. 75% of the reason being the goddamn graphics card, and 25% of the reason being piss poor power management that ruined my battery after a week of trying to get it to work before giving up.

its also why my desktop is all AMD, just for the lack of headache with linux. Don't even have to do any driver purges or reformats when I changed cards.

but with Windows 10 getting ended soon, I guess I'm gonna have to roll the dice again and see how far nvidia support has come because I'll rather be fucked by a elephant than use 11.

I genuinely cant even remember the last nvidia card I bought... MX440 I think? (My old laptop did come with a 1050 QT, but its not like I had much choice in that, being a laptop and all..)

Not for lack of interest, its just..every time I've had to replace a GPU, AMD was the better bang for buck option.

Course, most of that interest came from them monopolizing tech.. Like buying Ageia and getting rid of the dedicated card and integrating it onto their gpus, so only nvidia could use fancy PhysX stuff..

Yeah, I laugh at it every time I see it.
