I’d recognize the Dudes of Hazmat’s bouncy rotoscope style anywhere.
- Comment on THIS is an inventive idea 1 week ago:
I meant that lightheartedly, though I do think that doing 5+ year grows on agricultural lots for purely gimmick purposes isn’t too great, at least from a resource management and ecology standpoint. I’m not here to argue against christmas trees though, I just think LePoisson’s rebuttal that one instance of a thing isn’t a problem because we do lots of instances of that thing is logically flawed. I’m here to argue against the logic, not the trees.

I feel like that makes the problem seem much worse, and not better?
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 weeks ago:
My day bag is a Chrome. I got it at their brick and mortar location in lower Manhattan over ten years ago. It goes on every trip with me short or long and has seen multiple lengthy eras of daily use yet it doesn’t have a single fray or tear. And if it did, they have a free lifetime repair policy. Fucking incredible, literally one of the most excellent purchases of my life.

Came to the comments just to make sure that passage was on top.
- Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 2 weeks ago:
Gabe was already wealthy with Microsoft money when he founded Valve, so when his new private startup found success he didn’t feel the pressure to go public, expand, dilute, and cash out. He made the judgement call that they already had enough talent internally to keep playing the hits while keeping all the profit for themselves, and he was right.
- Comment on Still looking for the right community for this meme 3 weeks ago:
It’s about people who don’t understand an issue being the one to regulate that issue. OP kind of confused the meme format, but the message seems pretty obvious to me.
- Comment on I fall for it every year. Every. Year. 3 weeks ago:
In fact from what I’ve picked up over the years it’s kind of a meme in finance ie, “The price of X follows the return of the McRib!” when really both X and the McRib are just driven by the same larger economic factors and not by each other.

He might also be doing a runaround on NY gov Hochul re: securing state funding for his NYC program agenda. it puts lots of pressure on her to play nice with him.

The “underlying health conditions” they mention are a possible predisposition for schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, and kallman syndrome. Things that most certainly do not create hilters, and if it’s being argued by anyone that they may then it is indeed apologia for fascist ideology. The thing that actually does create hitlers.
I think that his genetics can significantly illuminate or inform historical events, but having it out there in our media environment just begs to have it abused and misconstrued by the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

Yeah it’s a cropped AI upres of a video still, this is the original.
It’s the Curiosity Rover team celebrating a successful world-first rocket crane landing.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
No, but our Treasury Secretary recently floated the idea. I believe there are already some 40-year mortgages, but they’re rare. The 30-year mortgage has been an American institution since it was standardized under FDR’s New Deal.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
They’re considering offering a 50-year mortgage product to a market where the average first time buyer age is 40. Like no joke they’re aiming to lock people into a mortgage that would cost more per month than renting the same property until they’re 90.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
Probably because it’s a cropped section of a shitty AI upres of a video still, here’s an original.
It’s from 2012 when the NASA JPL team did a successful first-ever “rocket crane” landing to get the Curiosity rover to the surface of Mars. It was actually a really touching / exciting moment, there’s lot of other photos out there of the team hugging and celebrating.

The guy who facilitates your mortgage contract isn’t getting your mortgage payments. The corporation that employs them is. The guy is making a wage or maybe just an hourly salary, plus commission.
By your logic, the checkout worker at costco is skimming off your wages to gate your access to food and clothing.
Even a sleezy car salesman who is trained to convince you to sign an extortive contract isn’t oppressing you. He isn’t betraying you at a class level. His plight is exactly the same as yours.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
Being able to tell the difference between a fellow worker and a class traitor isn’t bootlicking!
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
No, they’re not. A lot of them don’t even have a degree in anything.
Your personal financial advisor is a person you should be able to trust with your important financial decision. They guy at the bank handing you a contract to sign is a bank employee with a script on rails, a manager, and a commission structure.
In a better world it wouldn’t be like that but in a better world I don’t think I’d be going to a bank in the first place.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
Yeah every commissioned salesperson you don’t like is literally nazi ss. Go off, moron.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 month ago:
Bank workers are, at best, getting a small bonus when you sign that mortgage. Your fellow worker isn’t the enemy.

Half of them I did wait, yeah. Plus they were indoor hydroponic grown (People think I’m growing weed in that room but really I grow everything else), so I presume supercharged.
- Comment on fragile masculinity 1 month ago:
I refer more to growing flowers for sale. Most people I know who garden use flowers in the way you described.
I do however have one extremely “dudebro” guy friend who literally grew almost nothing but flowers, specifically to sell them to a florist :P

I grew jalapenos and no joke, they were too hot for me. Way hotter than store bought.

I believe it. My credit score had a knock against it because, and I quote: “Months since oldest auto trade opened”.
I guess cyclists who outright own two cars (A hatchback and a truck) are a credit risk.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never come across this.
- Comment on Read the Jeffrey Epstein Emails That Mention Trump 1 month ago:
Everybody already knows that Trump is a rapist.
Democrats could have leaked this last week to put more pressure on the budget resolution.
Instead they release it this week to distract from the fact that they caved on the budget resolution.

Guessing the real story is that the show didn’t sell enough tickets to be profitable.
