Yeah, my family has a cabin in his district and I damn near fell out of my chair laughing when this came on the TV.

The actual hyperlink works, but the URL "covidtests.gov" doesn't go anywhere.

The guy running against Gosar having all of Gosar's immediate family in an ad saying Gosar sucks will always be one of my favorite campaign ads.

Donating a couple bucks to a strike fund in my honor is better than Reddit gold could ever be

Yeah, I'm a millennial male. I've seen Duce Bigalow. Even in the late 90s I have memories of being reprimanded for repeating lines from it in public as a child because they're crude and sexist. It hasn't aged well. You probably also think Shallow Hal is a movie about body positivity.

Calling someone "a huge bitch" because they're a tall woman isn't "enjoying differences", it's immature sexist name calling. Yes very tall people aren't common, and that's definitely an area for comedy, but what Rob and subsequently you were doing makes "what's the weather up there" look like a goddamn Mitch Hedgberg special.

Your last point is too stupid to bother engaging with.

I can't find the actual interview I'm remembering but the episode of "Work Stoppage" about PSR and the strike is good. Labornotes also had a bunch of good articles explaining the situation at the time:

If you listened to what the organizers were saying leading up to the potential strike, the sick days were used to sell the strike to the public since it was just the easiest to understand and most cartoonishly ghoulish points. The terrible Implementation of "precision scheduled railroading" and the reduction in staffing, ridiculous on call times, and weird attendance point systems that it brought was the actual impetus for the strike.

Pretending being thrown scraps after having their most powerful tool taking away from them is a win is a pretty good reason.

It's wild to me that Biden broke the strike then got them the tiniest fucking concession afterwards and people think that's an argument that he somehow was on the side of the union the whole time. Getting 4 sick days a year is absolutely nothing compared to the whole list of grievances and it's embarrassing that people bring this up in response to him breaking the strike.

How is an audio clip calling someone a "huge bitch" helping you understand differences? It's not even like a video clip that's a reference to something. I'm not offended, I just don't see how this at all applies to this situation. It just sounds like you want to say offensive things and then pretend to have some intellectual high ground when people call you out.

The only streaming service I've ever paid for was vrv/seeso because I would comit violent crimes to get another season of HarmonQuest or the My Brother, My Brother, and Me TV show.

I feel like people have been anxiously awaiting gimp 3 since I was in highschool and I'm 30

Completely selfishly I'm not too mad about the web integrity thing because I hate ads so much that if I were forced to see them I would use the Internet less which would probably be good.

Liferea was the first project I contributed to almost a decade ago. I use RSS Guard now but I'm glad to see it's still kicking.

What? Caffeine doesn't break down until like 450°F. Keeping coffee hot is absolutely the best way to keep it "fresh". Adding external heat does usually cause off flavors but has absolutely no effect on caffeine content.

That argument might have made sense if it were being made in like 1992 but it's been Russia's seat for over 30 years

I switched when they added tabs in version 1.5 (I think) and it's pretty much the only browser I've seriously used since.

I concede that I'm probably underestimating the amount of fentanyl being imported, but it still seems unbelievable to me that someone would bring something that hot into the public without it being cut first. I'm still leaning towards it being cops fearmongering but it's possible that it's just a crazy situation and some mule brought straight fent to a daycare.

E: I hope no one misconstrues this as me trying to shift blame. I've lost 2 acquaintances and one good friend to fent.

No dude, you don't know what "fraud" means. Calling someone a fraud does not mean you're literally accusing the person of the crime of fraud, even though he almost certainly has done that. It means you're saying they lied and cheated to get where they are, which every rational person can now tell he did. SpaceX having a successful launch isn't a fraud, Elon taking any credit for it is.

What kind of literal baby brain logic is this. "You don't think Elon should have the power he does so therefore he's allowed to take his ball and go home" lmao.
