@MarketPalmer_ Some people shouldn't raise children. Day care makes it still possible for those kind to still have kids. That's not great, buts it's just the way it is. If you opt to farm out their formative years, that's on you.

ME: Daycare is expensive, but worth it. THEM: Why would you pay to have someone else raise your kids? ME: They're not raising my kids, they're taking care of them while we work. THEM: One of you should quit your job so you aren't handing your kids off to strangers each day. ME: They're not strangers, they're professionals. And we'd have even less money if one of us stayed at home with the kids. THEM: It shouldn't be about money, it should be about bonding with your kids. ME: Kids need bonding with more than just their parents. Their daycare teachers and other kids at daycare are some of their best friends, and they're excited to go each day. THEM: You're letting them get indoctrinated by today's education system and propaganda. ME: They're literally learning colors, the ABCs, and how to count to 10. THEM: Some parents just don't want to be parents! ME: *stops arguing with a wall*

@xevekiah She's probably gobsmacked by the type of accounts agreeing with her.

if abortion is ILLEGAL, men abandoning their pregnant partners should be ILLEGAL too. if women can't opt out of PREGNANCY, then men shouldn't be able to opt out of FATHERHOOD either!

ARRESTED FOR WHAT CRIME?

@Woodcutcc @harveyspistols This was literally my response 98% of the time. I had a few that did this, then it came back that they had active warrants. The one was a warrant from another jurisdiction for murder x 4. Needless to say, the long guns came out and a felony stop was initiated on that one.

@harveyspistols When I got pulled over, showed my CCW with my license. “Where’s the gun?” “IWB 3 O’clock” “Ok, keep it there.”

For the record I have also been disarmed like this by an officer from my passenger side door. "Sir, if you shoot me I am going to be really upset" "What kinda gun is it?" "Seriously? Why are you disarming me anyway?" "It is for our safety" "What about my safety" He just laughed at me and poked fun at the "snake" on the back of my truck.

@SamaHoole I wanna see what happens if you start a gorilla on a diet with meat. Then slowly ramp it up. I think we may actually get King Kong...

A gorilla has a colon the length of a small motorway. It ferments plant matter for up to 24 hours. It eats all day. Every day. Just to stay alive. It still can't fully digest cellulose. It extracts maybe 30% of the calories from the fibre it consumes. The rest exits approximately as it entered. A cow has four stomachs. Four. It regurgitates its food, chews it a second time, passes it back through, ferments it with specialised bacteria, neutralises the resulting acid, and extracts nutrition from grass that would be entirely indigestible to any primate on earth. Then there's you. You have a stomach the size of a fist, a colon that runs for about five feet, and a digestive transit time of roughly 24-72 hours. You have almost no capacity for fibre fermentation. You have essentially no cellulase. Your gut is optimised for one thing: dense, calorie-rich, rapidly digestible animal protein. You are not built to process plants. But here's the beautiful thing. You don't have to. The cow has already done it. It took the grass, ran it through four stomachs and a rumen of microorganisms, and produced beef. The beef arrives at the other end pre-converted. Bioavailable. Ready. You outsourced the hard part ten thousand years ago when you domesticated ruminants. You are the apex predator that invented a living food processing system. And somewhere, a nutritionist is telling you to eat more fibre.

@JohnKen41073001 @planefag @fromdusktildawn This shows me you don't really understand the topic at hand.

@HCallahan44 @planefag @fromdusktildawn Lol. Seemed clear to me, but you take what you want from it. My kids' friends do not put any effort into career or financial security in any way and complain that they struggle while my kids do not. Housing prices are high because people pay those prices. Insult away little guy!

アメリカ人に聞きたいんだけど、 アメリカの一人当たりGDPは日本の2.6倍もあるのに、 なんでそんなに生活が苦しい人が多いの？ 高所得の人がたくさんいるんだから、再分配を少し強化するだけで、貧しい人たちの生活はぐっと楽になると思うけど、なんで再分配を強化しないの？ ちなみに、再分配を強化するのは社会主義でも共産主義でもないよ。 それは修正資本主義。君たちの大好きな資本主義を、ほんのちょっと修正しただけのものだよ。

@JohnKen41073001 @planefag @fromdusktildawn That's not name calling, I was making an observation. You seem to confuse anecdotal evidence with actual data. If you wish, I could provide data points that show the affects these three thing have had and how people in the 60s & 70s had it on easy mode.

@nicolasmelo Microwave transmitters / receivers. Same methodology as a Dyson Sphere, except it doesn't block the sun.

Beleza, e como enviar essa energia toda pra terra???

@dissidentwest I feel his pain. Working a 12 hour day, feed the animals, get dinner for the kids, get them to bed, and then go all out for the 5th night this week from 11-1, just to wake up at 0530 and do it all over again tomorrow. Hun. I'm tired. I just wanna sleep.

Oh no my steak is too juicy. My lobster is too buttery.

@joelgaines Bone broth soup. Barley and celery soup. Strawberries with powdered sugar. (Odd combo, I know)

I rarely get sick (I'm sick this week), but when I do I have to have spicy noodles or kimchi soup. What's your sick food?

@DolioJ I actually pulled mine out so I could confirm a home boy was carrying today. Great way to not appear a threat but still make assessment of your surroundings. And he was. Pretty sure it was a Hi-Point (caught a peek when he pulled his wallet). In a Starbucks, of all places.

Situational Awareness. Put the phone away out in public.

@DocAtCDI Following. Need update asap.

trying to put a new battery in my truck but its heavy and hard to reach so I made a battery puller today, can't wait to try it out tomorrow!

@MUKIDEZA2 My grandfather gave me one of his old lever-action rifles and told me the protect our family name and honor.

日本には家紋と言う家ごとに紋章があるんです。（受け継がれなくて消えた家もあるけど）アメリカには何か、自分の家に代々伝わる物とかありますか？

@UnslovedAgain @May_Roma We are a rough people. Born to the mountains, natives to the prairie, and at home in the forest. We have many cultures, but they all have one commonality: the capability for unbridled violence and the ruggedness to endure it. We are a young culture and that truth still prevails.

Ain't means "is not." It's actually a throwback to the aristocratic English. Really not American so much as it was adopted by Americans. Yes. We're vulgar. I make no excuses or apologies for that shit. However, if you take us to a place or event where we know we need to be polite, we can do that. But only uptight weirdos refrain from being vulgar with their friends in less formal settings. Tell me why vulgarity amongst friends is so looked down upon in Japanese culture, please.

@ankoromochuu I, and likely many others, have never really looked down on Japan. You have dedication to the maintenance of your culture that I have always respected and admired. And yes, the Shinzo-Trump friendship was one of the best things I witnessed between two great world leaders.

正直、アメリカ人がこんなに日本を愛してくれてるとは知らなかった。 むしろ、アメリカ人は日本を下に見ていると思ってた。左翼にそう思わされてた。 実際には尊敬してくれていると知って、心があたたかくなってる。 アメリカ国内の日本の良いイメージは、安倍元総理の貢献も大きいだろうね🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸

@planefag @JohnKen41073001 @fromdusktildawn And just FYI, this is how parents should conduct themselves. Sounds like you, much like myself, had great parents. Ones that I spend my life emulating for my children.

@HCallahan44 @JohnKen41073001 @fromdusktildawn My parents are boomers too, and they did everything they could to help me succeed in life. It's not their fault that the world did not work out the way they were promised it would. This guy had luck on his side, sure, but that doesn't mean he didn't put in the work too.

@fromdusktildawn The fact that our government spends $1.5T on social programs that is majority fraud is a large portion. Another factor is that the Fed prints money at will and devalues the money in our own pockets. And for the past two decades, we've invited in a entitled 3rd worlders.

@JohnKen41073001 @planefag @fromdusktildawn This is 100%, pure, unrefined boomerism. Thank you. This is a rare commodity.

@planefag @fromdusktildawn My daughter and son, both in their 30s, are doing much better than I and my wife were at that age. They have friends who are not doing so well, those friends put little effort into work and max effort into traveling everywhere to attend drug fueled music festivals.

@Rainmaker1973 Literally removing plant food and starving them. Who thinks up this nonsense? We give the stupidest smart people a blank check and the first thing they is try to kill us. JDAM this place immediately.

Iceland switched on the biggest air-cleaning machine on Earth. In May 2024, a facility called Mammoth began operations in Iceland. Built by Swiss company Climeworks, it’s designed to remove up to 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year – 10 times more than its predecessor, Orca. The process is called direct air capture (DAC). Giant fans pull in ambient air, and specialized filters trap CO₂ molecules. That CO₂ is then mixed with water and pumped deep underground into basalt rock formations, where it slowly turns into solid stone through a natural mineralization process. And it’s all powered by Iceland’s geothermal energy, meaning the entire system runs on clean, renewable power. The captured CO₂ is stored by Climeworks’ partner, Carbfix, which developed the underground injection method. Over time, the gas reacts with the rock and becomes part of the Earth – locked away for good.
