And if you do put in the planning, resources, sacrifice and work and earn money, the unmotivated (and jealous) people around you claim you’re “lucky”.

True! I sorta did that with The Matrix. I read reviews for the second movie and multiple people were regretfully saying they wished they had stopped at #1. So I’ve never seen any of the sequels.

Happy endings. Although I like them anyway, because I’m trying to escape from reality a bit by watching.

Ah so that’s how this ends…

We’re all born into our various countries each of which places demands on us. And often that’s under threat of imprisonment or even death and with little of value in return. Yet people are patriotic and support that system. Even if some of us might say it is better that countries couldn’t do that, the fact that it’s widely supported means that there’s some basis for it that humanity recognizes.

Then compare that to a parent who selflessly loves and gives and gives. It’s very reasonable to say that parents are owed something.

The 10 second 0-60 of my current ICE compact crossover SUV already gets me around town and on the freeway just fine. A 90s Toyota pickup I once had gave a 13 second 0-60. Slate Truck is 8 seconds. The Slate Truck isn’t going to give Tesla acceleration, but hardly anyone needs that, and that’s not what this is competing against. As far as horsepower, the Slate also beats both. So no, this doesn’t have “shit power” it has expected or even above-average power compared to competing 4-cyl ICE vehicles.

Thank you!

What did it originally say?

Goodbye, kitty. 😵

And you’re still going to vote for them then rock yourself to sleep muttering “lesser of two evils”.

In defense of walnuts they’re very tasty and great in fudge.

Can’t think of anything!

You’re the only person that said that. Quit gatekeeping.

You can configure which categories to skip, so you could enable ad spots, yet still skip intros, or non-music portions of music videos, that kind of thing. There are 10 different categories.

Right, I was disagreeing with them on those points.

Intentionally misgendering is offensive, but that’s not what happened here, in my opinion. There’s nothing in their profile so sure going neutral with they/them is probably a safer option, but defaulting to male pronouns (which traditionally are all encompassing) is also fine, IMO. If they had a preference that they cared about then they would specify it.

Still have Malt-O-Meal every so often. It’s good! Glad both are still around.
