@TheFitnessJurk Op obviously have never seen the miraculous invention that allowed me to drive from NY to Georgia/Florida/Alabama without even a cell phone. All pizza places had a map on the wall of the town where they delivered. Of course no help for condo complexes

I delivered for a year in 07/08. Getting lost in a central Jersey condo complex after sundown was hell on earth. Had paper map in the car and everything. Then Verizon got GPS and it felt like I just discovered fire.

@jackunheard @HarmeetKDhillon Votes should not be counted after Election Day. California Democrats keep counting votes until they win! This needs to stop!

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court signals it will STRIKE DOWN state laws allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day. Do you realize how massive of a win this will be?

@LVCabChronicles Wtf are you even talking about? Afriend can identify as a duck and it doesn’t mean I have to partake in it. Do you have friends who do things you consider to be insan but still consider them to be your friend? It’s called dialectic.2 things can be true at the same time.

.@jasonssimon asked if I thought he was insane. My answer will hinge on his response here. But I don't think he'll answer bc he understands the box he's in now. Either he *would* quack to his duck friend, and he is insane, or he wouldn't and he doesn't believe his own bullshit.

If your trans duck friend asked you to quack at him and give him pieces of bread, would you do it? And if not, why not? What are you hung up on?
jasonssimon@jasonssimon

@LVCabChronicles @LuukeJohnston Trans men are biologically women. But frankly, if someone wants to identify as a duck I could give a shit. If a person born one gender wants to identify as another, I dont care. Why do you care? Why are you so hung up on this? I’m just not sure.

My liberal friend is going to Mexico for vacation. I asked if he has a passport? He said, "yes of course, otherwise I can't go." Weird how that works in other countries.

@LVCabChronicles @MatrixMysteries Umm, surgery takes more than 10 years higher education…just sayin. And after college (maybe graduating with $20-$40k) and medical school ($150-300k) and residency (4 years if not specializing) it’s sadly plausible

@MatrixMysteries 10 years of higher education? So what type of surgeon is she? Or did it take her 10yrs to get a master's in social work or something? Also, how much did she have left over after paying for the plastic surgery?

“My paycheck goes straight to rent — and there’s nothing left.” Ten years of higher education. A “good” job. No splurges. No safety net. Still dead broke after rent. “I paid rent this morning. I have $47 left. This is what ‘doing everything right’ gets you.”

@LVCabChronicles @LuukeJohnston And that’s not a “what about ism” because there are people on all parts of the political spectrum who believe that. You seem to get worked up on very select things

@LVCabChronicles @LuukeJohnston I’m also not sure why you care how people refer To other people. Do you get as worked up about people who think they need all sorts of supplements to be healthy? It’s as ridiculous scientifically. Why the trans issue?

@jasonssimon @LuukeJohnston It's a nice try, but you've conveniently left out the bit where these same people don't distinguish between "men" and "trans-men" or "women" and "trans-women." Surely you've heard the phrase, "trans women ARE women," before. And they refuse to define what a woman actually is.

@LVCabChronicles @LuukeJohnston Also, you often point out thinking errors in others,but refuse to accept your own (ie all or nothing).You voted for Trump because you disliked Biden. You and 75M other people. That’s fine. But claiming all Dems are insane without looking at Republicans insanity is, frankly Insane

@jasonssimon @LuukeJohnston But it is fallacy because you're saying that 22% aren't real democrats or they don't represent the party. Which is nonsense on its face for the aforementioned reasons. But we're getting away from the point here which is that Dems are insane and I'll never be rejoining the party.

Each day that the Lodge remains closed is crucial for the business because folks like Alisa, an awesome and always-friendly dealer, will understandably have to move on in order to support themselves. It's hard to explain to people who might be looking from the outside in how special of a place this is: One that is supported by hundreds of fantastic staff members like her, and brings thousands of people to Round Rock, TX, while broadcasting exactly what goes on in this building to the entire world.

@SoftwareBrian @Andy_Bloch They’ve done this type of thing globally. Dedicated animal crossings save human lives and expense by reducing automobile strikes

That’s Florida, but trust me my friend there are plenty of truly Californian examples of idiocracy: 1. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. 114 million dollars total now with another 18 million just added by the state in February 2026 for the world’s largest animal bridge over the 101 freeway near LA. It opens this fall but does zero to fix traffic on one of the most congested freeways in America carrying hundreds of thousands of cars a day. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for cougars deer and butterflies, but I’m sure there’s a cheaper solution. 2. Converting traffic lanes on already congested streets to bike lanes to slow traffic on purpose. Or closing refineries like Phillips 66 in Wilmington and Valero in Benicia which cut about 20 percent of the state’s capacity and spiked gas prices over 4.50 a gallon. Both moves designed to force people onto bikes instead of cars. 3. California high speed rail: Still no trains after more than 15 years and tens of billions spent so far. The first short segment between Merced and Bakersfield (who needs to go between Merced and Bakersfield?) is now pushed to MAYBE 2032! We haven’t even gotten to the proposed 2026 “Wealth Tax” ballot measure that is already driving the richest residents (who pay the most taxes) to start moving out of California to places like ….You guessed it…Florida! Let’s just hope they find a building on stable soil 😂

@Protentialmn @jeremyausmus I would heavily disagree with this. Physician comp is dropping or stable now, and unless medical school is free, the debt can be substantial. Medicine may be a safe job, but AI is having an impact, and growing healthcare costs are pressuring reimbursement.

@jeremyausmus Healthcare, Nursing/CNA, pharmacist are likely the easier jobs to get degrees for. Otherwise any type of doctor for higher pay.

The world feels like it's changing faster than ever now with ai. What's the best path to put teens on? It's challenging to forecast which degrees might be obsolete or more valuable in the future.

@jeremyausmus The best option is to raise curious, empathetic children and let them find their own path. Things can pivot between the time they start and complete schooling.

@LVCabChronicles @LuukeJohnston And also, do you honestly think that people who say men can get pregnant are referring to people who were born with X and Y chromosomes in their somatic genome?
