Isn't census data used to determine availability and funding for social programs?

So the options are "disclosed personal information the government has no business knowing." or "cause services important to your [group] to be underfunded/cut".

Lose/lose.

cheating

We often forget some people do have lives before they "settle down" and get married.

I drove through miles of a literal swarm of cicadas a few years ago and 99% of them didn't splat on the windshield. My roof rack was coated with bug guts, though.

I had a 9" HP mini 2140-- the keyboard was surprisingly good given its size.

It's just a shame the build quality matched the price and they fell apart in short order.

There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.

"Why don't the people I treat like shit like me?!"

I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I'd be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.

Fuck them.

Jack D. Ripper had it right.

Just get them on motorcycles.

They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.

Pretty sure it's a joke/reminder about jury nullification. "Luigi Mangione obviously isn't guilty -- the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him."

One day you'll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own ... and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

The worst part is you'll still mentally feel like you're not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.

Huh, let's see why

Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.

Ew.

"prepper" vs "Prepper" with a capital "P".

The first learns and practices actual useful skills -- gardening, food preservation, repairing their own things, etc. The later are dorks buying a ton of unnecessary shit shilled by right-wing influencers cosplaying as "entirely self-sufficient".

That was the original meaning, but it's also been co-opted by assholes as an "argument" against providing for people's basic needs.

Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

Technology has never been the problem: there's nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.

The problem has always been the "greed is good" sociopaths using it for evil.

Noodles are composed mostly of starches and heat causes gelatinization: which gives noodles their texture, taste, and holds them together. It also kills off any pathogens, which is a good things since it's fairly common for raw flour to be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella.

Cold water causes them to revert back to wet flour.

Yeah! Like meme stocks or beanie babies.

I don't get why people get upset at frequently expiring passwords. It's not hard: just write it on a postit note and stick it on your monitor.

I flew from Jermany to Tanzania and saw some jeriatric jiraffes.

I say it "Jif" because:

• That's what the format's creator named it.
• It's weird, but "soft G" is a thing and acronyms and the only "rule" for pronouncing acronyms is "it's easy to say".
• It annoys people that are way too invested in it. Sure, it's immature -- but it's low stakes and not particularly "shitty". I enjoy it and you only YOLO once.
