Cancer. At this point as an American consumer, if it’s something you put in an orifice that comes from a large corporation, and is synthetic, assume it’s carcinogenic

There was one that came around my old house on occasion before I had kids, and it sold amazing elote
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 2 weeks ago:
Just had one in my cul de sac today, for the first time since we moved here over 5 years ago, so yeah, they’re around, but a bit rare, like a nice classic car, or an Oscar Meijer Weiner mobile
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 3 weeks ago:
I remember me and my buddy were sitting around one night drinking mad dog and smoking weed and a live company Coldplay concert was on TV so we watched it and thought it was kind of good. Then the next day we each listened to Coldplay sober on our own. I got a text from him half way thru the day that just said “holy shit dude,I don’t know what was going on last night, but I just listened to Coldplay again… It’s like the sound track to a woman complaining about her period… How the fuck did this sound good last night?”

They did, but no one tried to reframe previous riots as being legitimate, acceptable discourse.
- Comment on Say it again 3 weeks ago:
Lol, no one gets paid to fucking riot. The act of rioting is it’s own reward. Since J6 It’s also a completely legitimate form of political speech.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 month ago:
2 day work week. Standard hours for a work week are just like the minimum wage. They’ve been stagnant for decades and haven’t adjusted according to company profits and worker productivity increases.
2 days. Why would you ask for 4? That puts you in a shitty bargaining position.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 month ago:
The main reason is that if we stop being the biggest shark in the tank, the next two biggest sharks (China and Russia) can’t be trusted to not feast on the smaller sharks. And if they do feast, they will become too large for the American shark to deal with.

- Comment on Opinion | Antisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses. 1 month ago:
I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you just murder the few remaining kids left in Palestine. That will surely help end antisemitism. Hell, while you’re at it, drag the world into WW3 while simultaneously killing starving Palestinians. It totally won’t come back to bite you in the ass in 40 years when the next fascist shit bag decides to blame Jews for every problem that exists.

- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 months ago:
So if we’re being real, a jet engine is basically a super high rpm propeller that’s enclosed in a cowling. If anything the stress it’s under makes it more prone to failure. I could see avoiding single prop aircraft, which for pretty much all passenger flights would be propeller driven. But honestly any aircraft would be fine for me provided it has an experienced human pilot and at least 2 engines.

Short answer, without trying to use political adversaries to try and provoke an unfounded fear response, no they absolutely can’t. Their entire ideology is that government is out of control, it takes too much, spends too much, and doesn’t give enough. But then the first thing they do when they gain power is entrench government power, control, and overreach, while they simultaneously strip citizens of their rights, and means to acquire enough wealth to make significant changes and contributions from a financial perspective.
If you want the TLDR, conservatives hate our government, and by extension, our country. unless they, and only they can wield it’s power to the full extent, and gain all of its benefits, at the expense of people they disagree with, or view as ‘less’ than them. With they cannot do that, they will claim that the government takes too much, and has no accountability, and exceeds its means. When they are in control however, their only concern is that the ‘bad people’ are trying to constrain their power, and force accountability.
They exist because they create a political environment that’s dysfunctional, blame the other side for the dysfunction, then Everytime they gain power, they entrench bullshit that will further perpetuate political and societal dysfunction.

No, I want it voiced by a trained actor.
I thought Terrance Howard was great in the first iron man, I was really bummed to find out they dropped him, then I saw the second one and you know what? Don cheadle knocked it out of the park.
I thought the daily show would be shit without Craig Kilbourn, and then bam, we get Jon Stewart. Pure gold.
If we had just used AI to knock off the originals we never would have seen other actors shine in the role

- Comment on Outsourcer in Chief: Is Trump Trading Away America’s Tech Future? 2 months ago:
Yes. He’s basically selling us all out for whatever he can get. Don’t be surprised if they change mortgage rate policies and facilitate the transfer of mortgage debt to some shady foreign interests who then just up interest rates to the point where they can take the house out from under you.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 2 months ago:
I never actually criticized people for supporting trans rights. I just pointed out that the topic can be divisive in American culture, and that is someone wanted to sow division, an easy way to do it would be to talk too much about that one very narrow topic, when we should be focusing on broader cooperative efforts at the moment. It doesn’t mean trans people deserve any more or less than anyone else.
