@khyberpunnisher @Krissa_Kray_ The service would be optional right up until the point you try to get home and car insurance
English
@Krissa_Kray_ Hot take: These should all be subscription services from which people are allowed to opt out to save their money or purchase private contracts rather than paying taxes for them.
English
Hot take: people who don’t utilize public services like fire, police, public schools, etc should get an annual rebate for a portion of their property taxes.

@PowerOwn45 Using this analogy wouldn’t the commercial ships be the chum??

@CrazyFenaker @Noahpinion America should buy Britain and turn it into a Spirit Halloween store
English
@Noahpinion British people are Europeans. Great Britain isn't part of the EU but it is certainly part of Europe.
English
Tired: Despite their excellent quality of life, Europeans are actually poorer than Americans
Wired: British people are poorer than both Americans and Europeans, and have worse quality of life than either

@RealTheoWold Can someone please Grok an image of Tong holding a Gadsden flag while he’s making this speech
English
"I never use the word nation in speaking of the United States. I always use the word Union or Confederacy. We are not a nation but a union, a confederacy of equal and sovereign States."
- John C. Calhoun
Greg Price@greg_price11
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong on his attempt to override federal law by banning ICE from wearing masks: "We are sovereign in this state. We are the sovereign state of Connecticut... We are joined together by our consent in a federation known as the United States."

@thesealsswim @SydSteyerhart His facial hair isn’t exactly helping the situation
English
@SydSteyerhart Zoom out. Birth rate decline begins with the Industrial Revolution.
This is no mere blunt statement but contains so much to extrapolate that the mere assertion of this fact is so overwhelming that both left and right mentally shut off (to dismiss or laud it) when presented.
English
He's not "dead on," he's a Gen Z Luddite with absolutely no new ideas. "Technology is why I won't have kids!" is such a brainless take.
Childbirth began declining almost sixty years ago with the Boomers: was it Tinder that made Boomers decide to not have children?
Steve Skojec@SteveSkojec
He’s dead on.

@rightwingnutrs Women generally hate seeing men relaxing in general, video games are just the latest iteration triggering their lizard brain hormonal voodoo. Imagine the ick Thag’s spear wife felt when she walked in on him painting on the cave wall.
English
I can see what the image is in the woman's head right now. They're imagining a lazy bum escaping his problems by playing video games constantly. If your husband isn't actually doing that, that's a you problem and you need to learn to stop being a domineering b-.
English
I’ve seen “conservative” religious women often construct whole religious systems that make their husband nothing but a money making machine for the family.
Lizzie Marbach@LizzieMarbach
I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

@DougBright1 @DefiantLs Horseshit is such an underrated colloquialism. It has so much more punch than bullshit. That alone proves the point Robert is making
English
@DefiantLs There’s a disconnect between stars, influencers and actors which is what Downey is (a great one) and an acting profession that’s becoming extinct.
English
Robert Downey Jr: "I hear people talk about stars of the future are going to be influencers… I don’t know what world you’re living in, but I think that’s absolute horsesh*t."

@dugmartsch @devahaz Perish the thought of asking an American to breathe on a flight, why can’t we just cut in flight oxygen? just stack our carcasses like cord wood on the ramp Hackensack for $17

@RfreitasRyan @devahaz Why so precious I’m just meat move me sil vous plais

God forbid you ask an American to go an hour without eating or drinking anything

@Howlingmutant0 @Hwileite A friend of mine pulled out some old videos from high school over the weekend. In all of the house party footage I could be found on the periphery, skulking about, sweaty and shifty eyed. Youth is wasted on the young *sigh
English
The problem with young people today, or “millennials” as they’re called, is they’ve forgotten how to dwell, how to lurk, how to occupy a space with a gloomy permanence
English
@veeceezie @TheManlet_King You absolutely nailed the years. The nostalgia people will have for the hipster fast casual garlic aioli IPA era will be powerful one day.
English
@TheManlet_King it started in 2011 and died around 2017. that’s still the majority of the decade, and tbh most decade trends aren’t a full 10 yrs. kinda like how people act like the emo style dominated the entire 00s when it really started around 2003/2004 and was dead by 2009
English
The "millennial" impact of hipster, whisky, stomp clap, basically just coffee shop culture, was for like 5 years max.
It didn't exist in 2010, and was completely gone by 2016. A rapid and unnatural push that everyone hated and was dumped the second Trump announced his campaign.
Haydn, 🇵🇸@bilbosfootcomb
Anyone else 30-35 remember when we bemoaned that the previous decades all had a vibe except ours
English
@dugmartsch @devahaz Totally, just stick a gimp ball in my mouth and tie me to the over overhead compartment. Remove the leather horse blinder when we land in Vegas for $18
English
@devahaz Just have never understood this. Just chill like it’s a sky bus cram me in there like I’m going to the slaughterhouse I just wanna go to beach in February for $20.
English
@realvideogame @MeghanEMurphy Millennial women are exhausting, the ever changing definition of manhood depending on mood or last perceived transgression. Thank god for the shrews of this world to dictate to us retards on how to be men. Having said all that, she’s 100% right.
English
@MeghanEMurphy being a catty unlikable bitch is a loser pastime you should have outgrown by what 40 years? is that when you were in high school old lady?
English
The funny thing about this is that everyone knows it’s untrue, whereas most all women see gaming as a lame, loser pastime

@grant_melson @matty_b Grant you have transcended consciousness with this post and entered the ethereal plain of nirvana. Rest now brother, we have the watch we’ll see you in Valhalla.

@matty_b Ok, I think now is the time for you to read the last line of my OP. I've let this go on long enough haha
English
Can’t believe this guy’s goal is to hoard a $10T net worth.
I would think with all that wealth, he would use it to help people more.
Like ending deaths in car accidents, or providing affordable transport for everyone, or offering internet to isolated people groups or something.
Watcher.Guru@WatcherGuru
JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. "$10T or bust"
English
@fugaziplacebo @Hermitual @codyaims I love that everyone pretends to have granular knowledge on any given subject. Yet in reality we are all scraping the internet to cobble our incoherent ramblings together. We all do it but we never bring it up. A social contract if you will, a code, a shit posting ethos.
English
Isn't forging by definition heating a metal to its relevant crystallization stage, then drawing out and folding to achieve a "grain" or lattice?
I'm basing my understanding on that and could of course be wrong.
If you can just cast a ring to shape in a mold, and that still counts as forging then sure but I think there has to be a folding and a final quench.
English
> opens The LOTR script
> story of the rings being casted
> “they were forged”
Hm
English
@bussyboi420 @Hermitual @codyaims This is the most insane pendantic and absurd argument ever to be shat upon my feed, It’s beautiful. What’s even more absurd and retardedly elegant is that everyone is sort of right.
English
@Hermitual @codyaims You're spewing bullshit.
Casting and forging specifically refer to how the metal is worked, irrelevant of what metal is being worked.
Gold or steel, makes no difference. If you're melting to pour, it's casting.
English
@u_s_first @Asmongold @Polymarket All of the people complaining about this probably haven’t been inside a McDonald’s since the early 2000s.
English
@Asmongold @Polymarket McDonald's didn't have self service soda until modern times. And they only did it start minimizing staff involvement. Cuppy could eventually hand cups to guests. It was never a good idea in a McDonalds though.
That was burger king where we used to make the unholy concoctions.
English
JUST IN: McDonald’s to eliminate self-serve soda stations nationwide by 2032, citing “changing consumer habits”
English
@TroyLindsey @MarioNawfal It’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Cats are NOT domesticated animals. They don’t need looking after. This is performative fodder for dumb ass westerners to graze upon like cattle.
English
@MarioNawfal While on its face that’s nice, but it’s going to end up causing problems.
English
🇦🇪 Dubai has stations where stray cats can get food and water.
Seriously, they look after animals better than some places care for humans.
English
coworker syndrome is insane. went to funeral for family friend. quite somber. group that nobody knew showed up. led by ringleader woman who practically threw herself on the casket. turns out they were her coworkers. the deceased worked there less than a year. coworker syndrome.
English
@DJSnM Don't buy the cheap packaged stuff. There are plenty of different hamburger bun options in the bakery aisle at most stores.
Me; I prefer a brioche bun that has been toasted.
English
We can get amazing bread in the US.
So why do we make burger buns out of a weak sponge that disintegrates when the grease soaks into it?
I mean if you want to see sandwich perfection look at the Bahn Mi, a fusion of Asian and French cuisine that's wrapped in proper bread.
