Same. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't take much more than trying to stop the broken world we inherited from breaking further and encouraging them to explore passions even when we don't understand them. That's the level of respect we yearned for and never got, so let's just try to be who we wanted boomers and gen x to be and I think we'll all be okay. Ideally we could fix what's broken, but it always takes longer to clean up a mess than to make one. We just need to be willing to plant trees whose shades we'll never enjoy.

My first thought when I saw this was that this looked like some Facebook boomer shitposting from like 10-15 years ago, but with kinda recent slang and image subbed in. I'm sure some gen x would unironically be all in on this, but it's the small percentage of them that are basically just boomers who time traveled. They're the same people who still like old westerns and rant about how nobody has common sense anymore, which if you think about for more than 5 seconds reveals that whatever they think is common sense must not be "common" sense at all, actually, and perhaps the current "common sense" is stuff that they never learned, like how to clear the cache for a phone app that's acting up.

Brining the chicken including the eggs in the fridge and the other ones are the same as the first time. Jet fuel filter change complicates the ordeal, yet the only thing I need for it was to make sure they were not in there. Chickens and cows are the best for you and your entire family and friends with the best of us all inside the same world. Never attempt to be honest with the kids about the time you guys were able to get a new deboning done by Friday night and the other one was a little bit better than the yesterday. Salted butter and buttered salt are essentially the same thing as the other, but it's not that long ago that burning up and being really hard on the couch could be a good day for the chicken bones or two and a half of the meat.

Bump for visibility! All should hear the good word!

The problem for me is that nothing populates unless I manually choose some starting words in my life and I don't know what to do with it but I don't think I can do it all day but I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do that I don't think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don't think it will be a good idea to get it done but I don't think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don't think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I don't think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today.

Seems to have found a problematic loop for the first time in the world but I think I have a lot of work to do in the morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the beach and get a little bit of the time to get it done but I don't know what to do with it but I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I can get it to you tomorrow morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don't think I can get it to you when I get home and I'll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don't think I can get it to you if you want to go to the house today but I don't think it will be a good time to get it to you and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

This shit sucks that I don't think I have a lot of money to do it all the time but I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do that I don't think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I can do it all day and then I'll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

Terrible. Just terrible it was a good day for me to get a new job and I was just going to say I was going to be a little late but I don't know if you want to go to the store or something else but I can do it all day long but I can get it to you when I get home and I'll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

I learned this method from my grandmother when I was a child, God rest her soul. I've tried with kerosene when I didn't have jet fuel in my pantry, but it just wasn't the same. Don't even bother prepping the cow until you've verified your supply of jet fuel.

If we make sure that billionaires can keep more of their billions, then surely some of their billions will trickle down to the very same destination that taxing them in the first place would have ensured that it would end up at. It's actually smarter that way because it's an investment that accrues interest and they will also employ people who otherwise would've been suckling on the teat of big government social programs. Billionaires actually are paying more money into our systems by being job creators than if they were taxed like the middle class are.

Just kidding. Can you imagine actually believing bullshit like that? Fuck, that kinda made my stomach churn to even pretend to believe in.

I'm super behind and that mostly doesn't matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.

I just finished episode 48 on my first runthrough. Seriously good shit.

This is interstate 40.

Your experience is very similar to what my trip through SC on I-95 was. But with some occasional regional things. We went a little out away from 95 just to cross buc-ees off the bucket list.

The camera on my Pixel 5a shit the bed, so I just replaced it with the 8a. Because everything else about it still works fine, I keep it around as a home Wi-Fi device. Most of what I use it for is playing spotify. I have a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for in the shower and I'm not even bothering teaching the new phone to connect to it.

If OP has an old phone as a backup, yeah I can see it fulfilling this need really easily. There are even pretty thorough parental control options (on Android at least) to have a separate user profile for a kid and have control of that user supervised through another device.

If OP doesn't have an old phone for this use case, probably the best bet is to either buy a used, older phone and set that stuff up or just find an old used iPod or similar. If something like spotify is essential to this plan, newer iPod touch models running iOS 15 support spotify. Otherwise, you can find a pretty basic mp3 player for under $50, but you'll need to source music files yourself for that ;)

That's a gofundme I would throw a few bucks at. How much does it cost to take a few billboards for a month or two on I-40? A few thousand?

I'm in a similar boat. There have been some setbacks, but I've been planning a desktop build to replace my gaming laptop from 2015 for a long while now. SteamOS has given me the confidence to commit to an AMD build with a Linux OS. I've been on the fence between a few distro options though. Maybe mint, maybe Nobara, there have been a few others.

Agreed. It was a half measure. Some action was desperately needed, and Republicans made sure that exactly some action was taken. They whine about the world passing us by while ensuring that we're unable to catch up.

As in "something that would be a bare minimum proposal to rectify centuries of racial disparity, but won't actually be achieved, and we'll all pat ourselves on the back for pretending to try"? Yeah, if that's what you meant, then I agree. But that isn't what you meant, is it.

And his medical record.

The interesting thing is that I'm not sure anybody gives a shit that his mom got help through the ACA. The story here is that he can't show any level of gratitude for the thing that has helped his own mother because he's such a partisan piece of shit. The ACA sucks, but healthcare in this country was a complete dumpster fire before it passed, and it will return to being a complete dumpster fire if it's repealed without a more expansive replacement in place.

This wouldn't be a story if Medicaid didn't have means testing attached which is how she lost eligibility. This wouldn't be a story if JD would show thanks for the healthcare plan modeled after what a Republican governor put together, but that would be perceived as disloyalty to his toddler-brained master. This wouldn't be a story if there were universal healthcare as there should be. He's between a rock and a hard place because he's too spineless to swallow his pride and show humanity even regarding the health of his own mom. Fucking pathetic.

Welcome to America, where people think that Fox News is a legitimate news source because "'news' is right there in the name!"

Decades of civil service would beg to differ. Of course all politicians in a democracy need to sway voters to vote for them, but it's absurdly cynical to believe that no politician in any democracy ever has given any fucks about the well-being of their constituents. Unless you're saying that this is something mostly unique to her, which is equally silly. I have my doubts about how much of her campaign promises can actually be delivered on, mostly due to congressional Republicans who will definitely stonewall everything possible, but it's outrageous to claim without any supporting evidence that Harris is uninterested in serving the people when she's already been doing so for her entire career.

Equal level of scrutiny > equal number of negative posts

Maybe there are a million "trump is bad" articles because there are a million unique reasons that trump is bad. We don't need a million "Harris is bad" articles to make it fair, we need legitimate comparison on equal ground. Nobody is insisting that you repost what's already been said, but nobody needs to hear "Harris is also bad" when the only reasonable goal of such a thing is to draw a false equivalency in order to either encourage people that voting for trump isn't actually all that bad, or discourage barely-motivated Harris voters from actually getting up off their asses to vote for her.

To be clear, Harris isn't perfect, but she's proven to be competent and capable of growth as a human being who is engaging in a similar human experience as other people and understands the actual struggles we endure, their causes, and has proposed some solutions. The other fucking guy is airing out personal grievances, bitching about consequences for his actions, and spreading blatantly racist lies about immigrants which would make Hitler himself blush.
