We got an entire beautiful, resource rich country from some of our horrors and atrocities so that’s something.

I’ve done something similar a couple times I’ve been sick and masked up while (unavoidably) out. People stfu real quick if they hear that deep, rattling cough that sounds like you have TB.

Conversely, my partner and I don’t have kids so a small kitchen is really the only “bonus” an AirBNB can offer. We’re usually able to find hotel rooms with a small fridge and just stock-up on easy to store, fresh food to offset the cost of dining out. Given that they’re roughly the same price now we’ve been opting for more and more hotel rooms just for the consistency. At least in a hotel if there’s an issue they’ll quickly swap/upgrade the room just to avoid hassle.

“Investment properties” shouldn’t even be a thing.

I checked because I knew it was fake.

I’m dying right now.

Just because you don’t think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn’t mean they are specifically designed to just be a lie and nothing else.

Just because you think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn’t mean they should. Per the wiki “Content that is of ‘aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality.’ Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort” Or “A deliberate provocation designed for maximum impact with minimum effort.”

I don’t actually see humor or interesting in there at all, in fact it being humorous or interesting might make it not a shitpost.

Enjoy your “shitposts”

I’m enjoying this a lot.

and please don’t reply

I’m dying right now.

It’s satire, it mocks the idiocy of plugging AI into every single conceivable product or the current AI-will-solve-every-problem techbro overhype that’s constantly being talked about every day now.

Just cause you thought it was real and googled it doesn’t make it less of a shitpost my dude, sorry.

This is a textbook shitpost and the people getting mad about it is more evidence that it’s a shitpost.

Kind of a weird passive-aggressive statement js, they didn’t imply their grandma lived to be any particular age. In fact from the statement we can’t tell at all, “the rest of her life” could’ve been 6 months (she fell asleep with a cigarette in her mouth and the set the bed on fire).

“If they don’t like it here they can get out” or something.

And they used part of their considerable wealth to fund the arts.

What are the four boxes? Soap box, ballot box, bullet box, jury box?

Seems we’re running out of options.

This makes sense and kind of echoes what the other commenter was saying. People have internalized norms/societal expectations and any deviation from it caused dissonance. People really do just look for any way to “other” others.

I agree that was the like the moment the coup succeeded but they’d been planning it since FDR.

They hated the New Deal and everything it represented, they want a return to the gilded age when they were the aristocracy and everyone else was a lesser.

It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all)”

They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.

I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

Why does god even care if we worship it?

Or people who thought the same way until they met someone.

It’s probably just nostalgia but the 90s were formative. It was pretty much peak network TV. Peak music label music, the internet was a thing everyone had heard about but only schools and nerdy parents had. It really does feel like a different era.

Maybe around the torso area a little bit though.

That would explain the reaction from men but not similar reactions from women, which are even more common in my experience.

Never saw the cinematic masterpiece that was Harry and the Hendersons?

Just secede if you feel that way

The land doesn’t even belong to them. Between the Bureau of Land Management, National Forests, Parks, National Monuments, National Recreation and Wilderness Areas the federal government owns over 70% of Utah.
