  • This whole way of life we have here has been by design. We work constantly. If you miss work to protest you may not be able to afford the medical bills you get when police brutalize you at the protest.

  • 10% additional on China, on top of the tariffs put in place in his first term (and kept in place during Biden).

  • And it's a little telling that China, of all countries, did nothing.

  • Smedley was a G, and the committee who looked into basically found wrongdoing but did nothing about it.

  • It worked out like 20 years later, let's not kid ourselves. Shit, it worked out then. The government committee suspected wrongdoing but did nothing, nobody got in trouble. It's safe to assume they found another way in. And it's clear they did. American middle class has not improved for 50+ years.

  • Easy, you pack courts with shills, you eliminate government oversight, and then you do whatever you want.

  • Dunno if your typo was intentional or not, but all I see in this thread is that somehow a typo is a way to bypass whatever block they have on discussion related to political figures. Which is bonkers. The great minds at the Goog somehow missed a pretty obvious workaround.

  • Don't worry, they'll have America on their side this time.

    Not the greatest timeline to be living in right now.

  • My parents bought a beach house (a bungalow on a postage stamp, before anyone gets an ideas that we're some 1%ers) and it came with an old washer dryer. My old man put a single pair of jeans in the dryer and seemingly forgot about them. He says he did it for a timer. Leaves the house. Nobody there for a week. My mom comes in, dryer still running, jeans essentially translucent at this point. One of the things you can laugh at only because it wasn't a tragedy.

  • The game came out in 2008. I can't believe it was that long ago.

  • For real. I talk with my friends about the tipping point, and this unfortunately ain't it by a mile. MAGAts don't make up the entirety of R voters, but not one MAGAt would give a shit if D voters started getting rounded up. It's been an incredibly thorough brainwashing effort by whoever spearheaded the effort. R used to mean small government, states rights! Now it means fuck Joe Biden, fuck your feelings, fuck work culture. And it all feels like it happened so fast. Say what you want about Bush, but the sentiment among those who voted for him wasn't this open hostility that we have today.

  • L4D was a phenomenal game. I wish I could go back in time and get a group of four of us together to play the way we used to.

  • Yeah, not like I'm moving. I will live in this house until I die, so I'd hate to rush into some project and be disappointed down the line.

  • This diet was easy with a health dose of amphetamines. Wine took the edge off.

  • Yeah, good point, perhaps there is some engineering rationale for having them powered the same, so that the speakers are guaranteed to work as long as the Starlink does.

  • Yeah, Subaru can have the Starlink disabled pretty easily by removing, essentially, a module behind the head unit. The only problem is that module also sends power to the front speakers. There's been workarounds created, but it's just asshole design at its finest.

  • Just a couple corrections. I have a '24 WRX and the volume knob and physical buttons work when the pop-up is in screen; they work immediately when I start the car. There's only temperature up and down and front and rear defrosters, so not exactly a lot.

    Also, prospective not perspective.

    I generally agree, hate the pop-up, hate the touchscreen, but when it's the only option it's kinda like, okay then.

  • I coat them in olive oil, salt, ross them on a baking pan at 425 for some time that I can't specifically recall. Even my kids love them, and I certainly do. My favorite are definitely fried of, super crispy, but I like to think they're marginally healthier baked.

  • If you block political words and Linux this place is a ghost town...

    ... Except for LotR memes of course.

  • When I was in high school, we'd split a gram of weed four ways and go to Wendy's for the $4.20 meal. For less than ten bucks, you got stoned, a junior bacon cheese, four nuggets, small fry, and a small chocolate frosty. This was in the mid oughts so not that long ago!
