The city is in Indiana. OP thinks it’s a cool part of the city because there’s an Applebee’s and an Olive Garden just a short 30 minute drive away.
- Comment on Jackhammer 1 week ago:
They always did seem to get louder when a wave of heat would roll over the area.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 1 week ago:
It gets better, because all the money they “lost” on a movie they can also write off. Oops, we didn’t make any money this year because we put out 10 billion dollar movies and only made 10 million at the box office. Tax break please!
- Comment on People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam 1 week ago:
My butthole is a marker unless I get a whiff of fiber, at which point it turns into a firehose. The only time I get a decent poop is when my diet is mostly sugar, cheese, and meat.
- Comment on Breakfast time!!! 2 weeks ago:
Gross, I can’t believe anyone would do something so disgusting! Using a plastic spatula making everything taste like melted plastic.
- Comment on Those poor plants 2 weeks ago:
What’s an easier solution, in your opinion? Getting the ultra wealthy to give up their yachts and jets (by getting rid of the ultra wealthy entirely, which also addresses the evils of capitalism), or convincing hundreds of millions of people to change just about everything about the diet they’ve been eating for tens of thousands of years?
- Comment on Those poor plants 2 weeks ago:
The UN doesn’t even have any influence with the UN. Even if I supported lethal enforcement of environmental protections (which I do in many cases), the UN’s idea of enforcement is a kindly-worded letter. If the USA doesn’t back something the UN has no power. And the USA is one of literally only two countries in the entire world that don’t recognize access to healthy food as a human right.
- Comment on I hate people like this 2 weeks ago:
Half of Costco’s customers would be blasted!
I’m all for it.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 weeks ago:
People who would ever consider voting for the Toupee have no standards. No bar, no logic or even thought goes in to who they vote for.
The people who are planning to vote against the Toupee have standards. And the Democratic party has continually failed to meet those standards. And the only time the people have any power to pressure a politician is when they’re running for office. Anyone claiming “just vote in the D, then we can focus on getting progress made” is a centrist who is ok being perpetually part of the oppressed class.
Yes, we need to vote against the Toupee, and the GOP in general. We also need a presidential administration who will get progress done. And since the human species has, at best, 30 years left before the majority of the world is uninhabitable, little baby steps won’t cut it.
So Harris and the Dems have a high bar. Because the alternative is fascism, or death by climate change.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
A $10k emergency fund? Even banks don’t carry enough cash these days for a working class person to be able to rob a bank to have that kind of money.
- Comment on Average game chat censorship 2 weeks ago:
Did the Finals finally get text chat? I remember getting annoyed that I couldn’t yell at my teammates when they played like morons.
- Comment on Average game chat censorship 2 weeks ago:
But then you have to see penis while writing penis on the blacklist!
But I do wholeheartedly agree. Censorship should be opt-in, and no one should be bowing to government censorship.
- Comment on August 30th 2024. America adopts the metric system. Never forget. 2 weeks ago:
Some people actually think they can tell the difference between 70 and 72 Fahrenheit and those people could save a lot of money on medications by switching entirely to placebos for everything.
- Comment on Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace 2 weeks ago:
Companies don’t even realize that sick people shouldn’t be serving food. I wouldn’t hold my breath (unless you’re eating at a restaurant, where there’s a 50% chance an employee is working while sick).
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 2 weeks ago:
My nasal passages aren’t properly developed or something so I have to regularly breathe through my mouth. Wonder if anyone can use that, a medical disorder, to sue after being fired.
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 2 weeks ago:
A company having a policy because “the insurance company makes us” is no less evil than the insurance company.
- Comment on Waffle House workers demand liveable wages and tip protections. 2 weeks ago:
The problem is at some places (probably not Waffle House) servers can make $40/hr. I’m not against that being the untipped wage, but I am saying that will kill the restaurant industry overnight. I am fully in support of eliminating the very concept of a “tipped minimum wage”.
- Comment on Anon makes a deal with a demon 3 weeks ago:
Get the gold, use a few flakes from one of the gold bars to fill a hula hoop with salt, spend the other trillions of dollars on normal rich villain shit.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 3 weeks ago:
I’d like them to do an RPG, something completely off the wall, like the TF2 crew playing D&D.
- Comment on With the amount of microplastics we're carrying around in pretty much every tissue in our bodies, is our weight measurably different as a result? 3 weeks ago:
What goes in, eventually comes out the other end.
- Comment on Hundreds of Brits used website to look for ‘suicide partner’ 3 weeks ago:
The site, which we are not naming
That’s a refreshing thing to read
- Comment on Greed is a vice, I'll take 1 3 weeks ago:
A pound of flesh for $1? Even chicken is at least $6/lb!
- Comment on Anon owns a pair of cursed jeans 3 weeks ago:
It’s not the jeans that are cursed…
- Comment on i like welch's 4 weeks ago:
Application fee is $600 (non-refundable), additional monthly fees for parking, trash, pest control, landscaping, an amenity fee to cover the twice a year that we set out a bowl of candy in the front office, a maintenance fee, a convenience fee to pay online, and an inconvenience fee to pay offline. Just kidding on that last one, we don’t accept offline payments. On move out there’s a $400 cleaning fee and a $600 carpet replacement fee that we charge to every tenant whether we clean the place or not, oh and we painted before you moved in so it counts as a renovated unit, so that’ll be an extra $150/month.
- Comment on Mandalorian 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t even say that. The law exists to protect the powerful and doesn’t care if it feels fair to you or not.
- Comment on Thoughts 4 weeks ago:
Have a refreshing SodaPop Zero and tell me all about it.
- Comment on Science saves lives 4 weeks ago:
But he’s the OV (Original Vamp). According to Supernatural logic, the Alpha monster is immune or isn’t affected as badly by weaknesses as converted monsters.
- Comment on Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately? 5 weeks ago:
Hey now, that’s not fair to say. Most Christian denominations promote terrible science education, not just the Mormons.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 5 weeks ago:
Left of fascism, but not leftist. Bernie frickin Sanders is barely left of center.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 5 weeks ago:
It said MSNBC had a leftist bias. The bot, and by extension its developers, have as much credibility as your Fox News watching uncle who calls everything they don’t like “communism”.
