  • $5b wouldn't do much in the grand scheme of things but it would make me the wealthiest person in my city 10x over. I'd fund progressive campaigns across the board to stack the legislate with like-minded people and then work on building my local community and hope that it has leeching effects on the surrounding area, state(s), country.

  • Lots of half-truths here.

    1: the first thing every cop says at a stop is "turn the engine off and put your key on the dash" if you haven't done that by the time he gets to your window

    2: if you're pulled over, it's already too late to run. Cruisers have had dash cams for decades and your tag has already been photographed.

    3: improper use of "statistically" but the best autos are quicker than sticks. That's why squad cars use them and theyre probably better than yours

    4: you can probably talk yourself out of a ticket for speeding, GL talking yourself out of an evading charge.

    Tl;dr cops suck. Nobody likes them. You can (and should) fight them in the courts and the voting booth, but you will lose if you try to do it on the road.

  • Asian countires have invested billions of dollars in the education/training/and infrastructure to support animated films do make them as efficiently as possible. Economies of scale, lower labor costs, etc., etc.

    Conversely, American film production for the last ~30 years has been nothing more than a way to circulate a few billion dollars between a handful of studios/executives with no real concern for efficiency. Not saying that Asian animation studios are without controversy (they are), but budgets just have not recently been a concern for American studios like they are for foreign productions.

  • In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.

    We did both of these

  • Wish I knew more about language mechanics like this. Always fascinates me

  • Agreed, as a lifelong PS fanboy. The only redeeming quality is that I can play my PS4 disks on my PS5, other than that XB seems better in every way

  • OoooPEN the CURTains

  • Right? I dunno how it was back in the old days but Clerks is maybe the worst representation of modern service workers I've ever seen. I've got a "hard labor" job and work about 1/4th as hard doing that than I ever did in service when I was younger

  • And handheld gaming is a full-body experience.

  • Please replace your carbon monoxide detector batteries

  • Germany looking 80 years in the past like "let's do that again."

    Israel is NOT a Jewish state, it's a Neo-Nazi regime. If I wanted to kill as many jews as possible, I'd convince them that they "belong" in a tiny country surrounded by neighbours who want to destroy them.

  • Knowing the right tool for the job, specifically when it comes to repairing the things they own. I get that familiarizing yourself with your car's engine bay isn't the sexiest thing to do if it doesn't interest you, but most systems are incredibly intuitive once you know how to use a couple of basic tools. Competency in hand tools is something I think everyone should have TBH

  • Welp

  • Why would you use AI to make this?

    To think that I used to get mad at people who used Snapchat to add text to images. Didn't know how good I had it
