Either way, letting them know we’re about to strike is stupid, so of course that’s why he can’t keep his trap shut about it.

Can we fucking not.

Also:

“He is spending a lot of time thinking about this,” one source said.

No he fucking is not.

When I want to reply and tell someone to fuck off because I disagree with them, I try to remember the pleasant results of NOT doing that, so a reply like this helps me be a better person, thank you <3

Yeah, why are you two still here on my lawn‽ ;-)

They’re also notoriously terrible build quality.

I will give Tesla credit for one solitary thing: They did help jumpstart electrics. Help. Not cause.

But that has been picked up by real car manufacturers, who just need more encouragement to continue to increase numbers, along with infrastructure projects to bring more charging stations to more places. A critical area would be for installations in places like apartment parking lots and various public parking lots (i.e. paid parking but I mean shopping lots)

Pedo nazis are trying to take over the U.S.

Alas, not sure about “trying”, but yes.

The more money they waste on this bullshit, the less money they have to kill Ukrainians. So I support this stupid project wholeheartedly.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Mayo-ketchup with tomatoes are tasty on a burger. :)

For me, it was my first day at Texas Instruments. I had to show up to a mandatory Outlook training session (which was hilarious as I was being hired for a helpdesk position. I’d used Outlook since the first version in 1997 and supported it…). A guy came in and turned on the televisions.

I called my wife, who was working in the flight path of DFW airport. We also tried to get hold of my stepmother, who was working in the tallest building in downtown Dallas at the time.

It was much chaos, as I’m sure you remember, as nobody really knew what was going on or what further attacks might happen.

So for me, I was a young adult, married for about a year and a half when it happened - I got to live half a decade as an adult in the pre-9/11 world.

It’s hard for me to remember that for newer generations, all this bullshit that really started taking off hardcore after 9/11 is normalized. I saw our rights being taken away, the constant fear increase, the hatred for Muslims that blossomed into racism coming back out of its dirty closet, the rise of fascism.

It wasn’t always that way. :(

I see emoji are supported. I shall have to try more shenanigans. Maybe zalgo. lol

Hydration is good. If you hydrate a LOT, remember to have some electrolytes in there somewhere. You don’t need a lot, but some.

Also, the “eight glasses of water per day” thing was made up whole cloth. It is not medically nor scientifically a thing. The best advise is: Drink when you are thirsty. Unless there’s something wrong, that’s your body’s way of telling you it needs hydration.

That said, if you exercise or get your body’s signals confused, thirst might not work perfectly for you. Generally, if you’re exercising, bored, hungry - having a glass of water might be just the thing and usually doesn’t hurt anything, so give it a go.

'75 here. All you youngsters can get the hell off my lawn.

Actually, what I’ve noticed is that I don’t so much feel older as I do the “kids” keep getting younger. Was I like that at their age? Yep, probably, but I felt mature and adult then. To some degree. That thing about how you never really feel like an adult? I still get that a little bit. But after three decades of being an adult, it has also set in a bit.

Mostly, I’m opinionated, and I remember things from the past 40 years because I was alive for them, so they aren’t history to me, they are a part of the life I experienced.

So as you guys get older, I think you’ll find that - like whatever happens after Trump, unless it does continue to get worse (which is quite possible), there will come a time when a younger generation won’t know what it felt like to live under this fascism, and you, having lived through it, will have your mind blown because it’s history to them.

Which I guess has helped me when I think about figures from history and the past in general. While I can’t imagine living before the era of cars, I do know that whatever time frame you look at - to the people living at that time, it was all contemporary and modern. And so when you see people that had relationships with other people and arguments and such, you really do realize that we’re all human.

Also, the older I get, the more I realize just how precious life is. And when you’re young, you really are going to live forever. But every single day that passes is gone forever. Every month takes you further forward. Each year goes by and never comes back. When your 20s are gone, they won’t ever return. Don’t let that upset you, just make sure you aren’t coasting along and wasting time, waiting for what comes next, because if you spend you life waiting for what comes next, you die without anything ever coming next. Don’t “make every moment count” - do take time to relax. Just make sure that you are not ONLY relaxing, and don’t put everything off to the future. Do what you can to enjoy the life you have as best as you can while also trying to keep improving things.

My understanding is that it always tries to give you 2-3 route options. It defaults to what it thinks is the shortest, but it gives you a couple of options that are slightly longer. You might prefer those other options for various reasons.

But if there aren’t a whole lot of altenate options, the 2-3 options for slightly longer routes might include “ridiculous” things like this. It doesn’t know. It wouldn’t know why you wouldn’t always want the shortest route, but of course as humans, we have preferences and knowlege Maps doesn’t have.

Clever and hilarious. Almost reminds me of old IRC shenanigans. :)

Your point is that progressives in america aren’t progressives because progressives in other countries are more progressive?

No. As I stated, the “radical left” in the US is not radical.

Anyway, we’re not gonna agree on this, which is fine. I’m not forcing you to. I hadn’t felt you addressed my points, but this time around you did seem to do so, so I still want you to have a lovely day. :)

Why do people reply to obvious jokes that have emoticons indicating that they are jokes with serious answers?

Did you even catch the typo I was poking fun at?

I’m starting to think people on Lemmy can’t read. I’m not attacking you, I’m just frustrated that this is not the first time I’ve made a very silly post that is obviously very silly and it has whooshed.

Seems like you wish to ignore all of my points.

Fair enough.

Have a lovely day.

It really is painful to read this kind of arrogant ignorance

You really should check a mirror, bub.

But it’s okay, continue on and wallow in your own willful ignorance.

Or feel ABSOLUTELY free to try and actually answer what I said.

I’m not surprised you picked up on my lack of caring to find out the organizing body. It doesn’t invalidate the truth of anything I said. But you ignore the truth and pick what you think is a GOTCHA.

It’s not a flex, kiddo. It just reinforces how stupid you make yourself look.

Ignorant fuck.

It seems you suffer from some misconceptions while being aware of some moderately obscure truth.

First of all, good on yer that you know that IQ is normalized to 100. The problem is that this is true for some particular group of people. I’m not sure offhand what body does this normalization and what population they use, but thankfully, that knowledge doesn’t matter.

Any particular group of people will probably not have an average IQ of 100. Only the full body of people it’s normalized to will.

So if they normalize IQ to all USians, the average IQ in other countries will naturally be somewhat close to 100 (probably), but not precisely 100. So move people elsewhere and the average IQ of the destination country will change by some probably-relatively-small amount.

Or, if the entire world is normalized to 100, then the average IQ in NO countries is precisely 100, and moving people around will still change the average.

So I’m afraid you need to back up your clapbacks and take another think through on this, friend.

this county sucks.

You should broaden your horizons. :)

I’m pretty sure racists would rape minority children. Look at plantations back in the day for evidence of that.
