The moral high ground is filled with corpses.

Who would have thought that making millions of people’s lives actively worse in an already not great time in the most widely-armed country in the world could have POSSIBLY led to current events???

A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.

He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it’s cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.

He said “They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that’s true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it’s not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich.”

And then he took a hard right turn and added that “all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress” are to blame.

So close.

I don’t trust an ICE thug to know the difference between night and day, let alone different asians/pacific islanders.

The ONLY Asians I’d expect them to be able to identify are russians.

But what about her emails??? ??? ! +=:_?

What’s the old busted hotness?

Ooh, that’s pretty neat and a simple way to keep track of things.

You’d think, but she was paranoid that the tiniest mote of dust would cause the computer to break.

you cannot seriously be proposing that we relax fire code for rentals.

Sorry to butt-in on this exchange, but I did not see anywhere they proposed such a thing?

I’ve been homeless and I’ve gotta say, fire codes are worth the toilet paper they’re printed on when it’s getting cold out, and you’ve been through 6 days of constant rain.

Why does Right Sheep have green and blue spots?

Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill

Tell them “do the thing”

Without fail, you will hear a quick “bzz-bzz” as they double-tap the trigger.

It’s part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.

Someone who wants to make super sure that no dust gets into the discs, as even a single mote of dust in the drive will set off a chain reaction that destroys every universe simultaneously.

At least, according to my mother. She always insisted that floppy discs be stored like this since dust could settle in the tab if left the other way.

I miss BosnianBill, it always felt like my grandpa was sharing his hobby with me.

LPL and BB got me into picking locks, and so far it’s saved a couple of massive personal headaches and one extremely expensive piece of industrial equipment (for which I recieved absolutely no recognition in saving the company about $450,000-550,000 in broken equipment)

It’s also a fun quick thing to teach people and I have a spare set with me and an acrylic demonstration lock to show newbies.

I had fun at a park in south-western ohio once when I started picking all the padlocks couples were leaving on a bridge. I left about a dozen of them sitting on top of the railing.

Fun times, cheap hobby.

I mean, I personally wouldn’t ask people to throw guns at him.

What’s in the gun, however…

Gilgamesh and Enkidu could kick David and Goliath’s asses.

I bought some supplies from a local business recently…

Then I found out after unpacking that some of the components were made from supplies by Kaiser Aluminum, a company that assists in genocide via military contracts.

Unfortunately I can’t return the things I’ve used, but I will be informing the owner that I won’t be making any more purchases specifically due to their ordering things from KA.

Who would have thought that putting a man-child wannabe (for now) openly fascist dictator child rapist con man in charge and letting them shit all over every document meant to put them in check while the other elected officials cheer him on, picking fights with other nations for no reason other than to make himself look strong to the weakest of people, targeting minorities in state-sanctioned terrorist actions, and generally acting like the Nazi regime was a how-to guide would make us look slightly more negative than usual?

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it “made it weird” to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn’t being meme’d on, so I just told her “you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends”

Wouldn’t you know it, the color of a text bubble isn’t enough to end a friendship over.
