Good times.

This explains why September, October, November and December no longer correspond to the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months. When they took out logsday, everything shifted.

Not a weekday, it was a mid-week break day off.

Does anyone actually know why we are putting tariffs on Canadian goods?
I think his objective is to try and damage Canada’s economy, but I’m not sure exactly why. Apparently he really is serious about the “51st state” thing along with the Greenland and Panama thing. He’s just that megalomaniacal. He wants to be like Putin.
- Comment on Tried to order a part before the tariffs 4 weeks ago:
Shit, I was thinking about getting one but my brain didn’t make the connection that I needed to get it before this. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get it anyway to support some of these companies that may be taking a sales hit because of all this. Or I could just wait a while, maybe it won’t be very long until Mangolini backs down.

I’m having the same issue on Freetube, it pops up and says it can’t play the video because Youtube requires being signed in. Sometimes if I retry a couple of time it’ll play, but usually keeps getting the same error. Freetube is great though, maybe they’ll come up with a solution soon.

Getting into a daily stretching routine is also really good for keeping things from locking up on you as you age. Do some stretches before working out to prevent injuries and afterwards to prevent muscle soreness.

If you answer wrong, what does it do? Refuse to show you any more of the program you are paying them to provide?
Oh wait, I know. It shows another ad, right? That’s gotta be it. We’ll keep showing you ads until you fucking pay attention!

Neither Medicare nor most health insurance covers hearing aids, or glasses for that matter.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 2 months ago:
Not to mention that all the waiting rooms also have TVs in them, making noise. I really miss the days when you would go places and it was just quiet unless someone was talking (and it would be to someone physically present). The place I take my car for an oil change or whatever plays country music in its waiting room. It’s torture.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 2 months ago:
Same, if I’m walking around outside with it in my pocket, I don’t notice the vibration or even hear it ring over the background noise and wind.

The real reason is that it’s competition for the broligarchs. They want it gone, thinking that all that traffic will come to their platforms.
That’s why there’s no chance that the govt will do what many in this thread are saying would be logical–ban the data collection and manipulation itself, not just one foreign competitor–be consistent, Meta, X, etc. should also be banned.
So regardless of how stupid people are for signing up on the Chinese alternatives, at least it’s good that they’re refusing to move to Meta, YT, X, etc. They’re deliberately not rewarding the broligarchs.

Many years ago, I offered a girl in my dorm to get high with me and to my surprise she got very freaked out and scared, which I had never seen happen to anyone before. And what we smoked back in those days was much tamer than what they have today. I had to sit with her and keep her calm for what seemed like forever. Really harshed my mellow (from my language in this post, you can guess my age 😄 ).
Point is though, yes–some people can have a negative reaction to it. Was it mj-induced psychosis in this case? I dunno, I don’t know the definition. I don’t think she actually hallucinated or anything, it was more like a major anxiety attack.

Perfect! Those things look just like a dumpster too.

Thanks, when I saw the news I knew I wanted a good shot of the it. Should become a great meme.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 months ago:
To answer the original question, it’s because the earth is very large and retains the heat from warmer times preceding the solstice in the water bodies and the ground, like a buffer, so there is a lag time for things to lose that heat and get to the coldest air temps. As an analogy, if you heat up some rocks in the oven, then turn off the oven, the rocks will still stay hot for a long time and gradually cool off.

- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 2 months ago:
At one of my first jobs in an office, everyone had an ashtray at their desk and there was always someone smoking at any given time throughout the day. Same with the breakroom. Sometime around then was when they started making people go to the breakroom to smoke, then a few years later it moved to having to go outside, which just meant walking through the cloud of smoke surrounding the door to get inside. Well, at least one thing has changed for the better since then. 😄

YES. Flip phones were fine and were enough to handle all the problems mentioned about pre-cellphones. Calls, texts, voice mail. All the new problems mentioned are caused BY smartphones. If the meme showed a Nokia flip phone it would have been perfect.

- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 3 months ago:
Reading this thread, I feel like having a nice rant:
“Waah, all our problems are caused by the boomers! They’re all rich and selfish, they had the easy life and got all the money and the houses and ruined the environment while our lives were ruined!” Keep believing that and stay distracted! while the oligarchy laughs it’s ass off at you.
Pay no attention to all those poor boomers who could never get a house, who are scraping to get by–those are the exceptions that prove the rule, they must have been especially lazy or stupid boomers, if they’re not rich like the vast majority of boomers! Yeah, that’s it.
Pay no attention to the corporations that have bought up all the housing so they can rent it to you at any price they like, that has nothing to do with housing costs–it’s the boomers who caused it! Yeah, that’s it.
Pay no attention to the oil companies and big corporations that control congress to keep their profits private and costs socialized so they can spew their effluent into the environment as the world burns and the ice caps melt, it’s the boomers who were too selfish to leave you their house when they died who are to blame! Boomers only started the environmental movement and demonstrated and pressured the government into creating the EPA, Clean Air Act, and many more, but so what, all the bad things are still their fault.
Stay distracted! Keep believing what you’re told and blaming who you’re told to blame as you get older and older and the boomers all die, and then enjoy how Gen B and Gen C, etc. hate you and rail against you and blame you for all their problems. Why didn’t you–yes you! stop global warming? You could have, but you didn’t give a fuck. You who had it so easy, living your selfish life with your fresh water and electricity and air conditioning and video games and all those nice things, while their lives were ruined? It’s all your fault!
Never the oligarchs, though. Not them.
[I can also do another version of this for the right wingers, substituting immigrants for boomers].

That should work out since most boomers didn’t get anything from their parents either.
