There was a time when WiFi was actually useful in smart appliances, I have an LG washer/dryer about 7-8 years old, no touchscreens, but by WiFi you can get cycle done alerts, time checks, even remote start it. My matching fridge gives me energy conservation information, and allows me to choose a lower duty winter cycle

I like these features. IDK why the fuck I would want a fridge with a touchscreen. All the smart appliances I’ve seen in the last 5 years are just there to serve you ads and steal your data.

I always found it to be melancholy but lately I’ve been seeing the whole cycle, and how if we don’t have fall, we can’t have spring. I suppose it helps I moved 1,000 miles south so winter isn’t really a thing anymore. I do encourage that.

Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.

Hell back in HS we got first shot at detasseling corn and deroguing beans. I lasted a day, some boys lasted a few. By the time they brought in the mexicans a week later, there would be maybe 2 of the scariest foodball players left, and they did make decent money by the end of their little stint.

Your average person is going to get heatstroke from this.

That shark is a cake, I can tell from here.

The fear is real but in 30 years of unix and linux work, i’ve never actually deleted anything I didn’t mean to.

And there’s a third way of looking at it, where people who shouldn’t have an opinion about it at all are suddenly full of right-wing talking points that don’t align with science and reality.

Midlife crisis, nervous breakdown, it’s all in the same spirit

Normally blood and gore makes me upset. For whatever reason, I smiled the first time I saw this video. Then the next 15 times as well.

From the low res photos he seems like he might be hot. Two hot shooters in a row? IDK what this means for fall and spring shooting trends, but I like it.

It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.

So yeah good call GOP

They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight. Their coalition isn’t going to last forever.

His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.

If you’re part of a movement that’s taking vaccines away from babies, well, you’re evil and people are going to respond to that.

Yeah that’s insane, you are legally allowed to make any mark and it’s a signature. But cops are above the law, so

Yeah I lived a car-free life when I lived in Seattle, working on Magnolia Hill, living on Capitol Hill. That was doable year round. The midwestern flyover states I grew up and live in, tho, no it’s not workable. In the North there’s snow for months, in the South we have monsoon season where it rains for weeks, in the summer heat index gets above 110 regularly and these people don’t plant shade trees. Plus nearest grocery stores are miles away (I live downtown in a capital city).

Even though I work a few blocks from my home, I can’t live car free here without significant ride-sharing expenses (the bus system is a joke and only runs part of the day, grocery shopping would eat an entire day of my week that way), if I did that I couldn’t go on roadtrips on weekends either, unless I rented a car - and all that is more expensive than my (20k, not 40k) car.

But I do love this community and it’s coastal approach to shaming people who rely on cars… take the tram or train, lmao

Antitoxin serum!? You gonna tell me what I should put in my kids bodies? Hell no! That’s communisocialism

Look at game theory. We have 300m+ Americans operating primarily out of their own self-protection. They’re lied to about what that means. They are divided beyond repair.

3% of the US population protested in July, that wasn’t enough. What would be enough for a revolution you think? How would that go?

Some say this is just a coverup story for the murder of the ladle inventor whose family in Kilkenny still claim rightful ownership of that patent, but today arguing with Big Spoon is just asking for it

They have royal pie takers who, according to the Magna Carta, have to stand in.
