But stylish. Cybertruck is Sega Genesis graphics shoved into a ps1 body
- Comment on Y'all might not be ready for this 1 day ago:
Yeah, remember Doc Brown’s reason for choosing the DeLorean was because, “If you’re gonna travel through time, you ought to do it in style”.
Cybertruck is not style unless you are a brain-rotted seven-year-old.
Maybe a Rivian? You’d have to come up with a different issue other than the car not starting, like the difficulty of charging it or something.

Did you ever stop to think that the reason why there are so many half elves like myself is because the half-breeds are not affected by your puny cold iron?
And also our massive reserves of leprechaun gold have enabled us to store an inordinate amount of cold lead as a response.

I would be against it if that person is not someone that would be lifting my child up.
I don’t know, the society I’m in, the woman gets to choose her own partner and her own future, so even if I’m against it, she can still do whatever the hell she wants to do.
But if I think she’s making a poor choice, then I will say, I don’t think this person is right for you. But no matter what happens, I love you, and if worse comes to worse, you’ll have me there to help pick up the pieces.
And if best comes to best, I’ll be cheering you the entire way.

Multiple things can be true at the same time, the trick is being capable of understanding that and acknowledging that without distracting from the primary objective.
Unfortunately, broad-mindedness of that nature requires a minimum of room temperature IQ to handle and far too many people simply do not make the grade.

Its only happened once for me. I was working at a knockoff waffle house and there was a bird dive bombing customers as they came in.
I went out to check it out and stuck my hand out, and the bird landed in it. It let me pet them, I brought it inside and fed it a pecan.
I’m also native (Lakota) so it was a massive aura boost for me from the customers who got attacked by the bird watching me carry it around for a while.
After a while I went back outside and held it up and it flew away.

I’ll see that and raise you “sticking your hand out when there’s a bird in the area and having the bird land in your hand”
- Comment on How to make myself read my curriculum books? 1 week ago:
If you’re gonna eat a whale, you gotta do it one bite at a time.
It would help if you are curious about the subject matter. Curiosity is an amazing motivator for reading.
What secrets does the book contain? What is it going to teach you about the universe? What parts of this book do you already understand?
What’s the chance there’s something in that book that will help you reframe something else in your life with new information?
What information in the book is going to be on the test?
If you want to know the answers to those questions, or the other questions that you might have floating around in your head, the only way to get them is to read the book.
Don’t read it because you’re being forced to read it. Read it because you want to know more. You want to be the kind of person who knows things. And the only way to actually know things, to have crystalline knowledge, is to read the books that contain the information that the people that have come before you have sorted out and assembled for you to absorb.
Surely you have a goal in life. You wouldn’t be forcing yourself to study in college if you weren’t trying to reach a goal. Reading these books are parts of the path that you’re taking to reach your goal.
If you can internalize this concept and apply it to those books, reading those books is not going to be a chore. It will become fun. It will become exciting. You will read faster and flip through pages faster and train yourself on how to absorb information quickly.
People achieve what they believe they are supposed to achieve. They go in the direction that seems most right to them.
Seems like reading these books are the right direction for you, and once you make it through, your mental muscle will be much more defined and impressive for the effort.

My favorite Greek parable is the portion of the story of Pandora’s Box, where even after all of the evils were released onto the world, hope remained.

I agree, I’m just saying if I see the bill on my credit card, there will be consequences, and if I can’t resolve it amicably, then I have a car that I’m willing to sacrifice for the cars.

If you deliver a burrito to my door and then tell me to pay for it, and I never asked, there’s going to be a fight.
I will drive my car through the front wall of DoorDash before I’ll pay them for a burrito I did not order.
- Comment on SBA #236 Sins and Virtues 1 week ago:
Chastity and prudishness are not related.
I would argue that the majority of people would prefer to have a single partner that they share their sexuality with, and that is their greater joy.

They say that patience is a virtue, but I disagree. I believe that patience is the protein that you use to build the muscle of virtue.

- Comment on Reckless quads on the streets of Birmingham, almost knocking someone down 2 weeks ago:
And as a brown kid that lived there, I can say that there is a blanket of racism that is so thick that it doesn’t look like racism.
The only way I was able to become aware of it was getting away from it long enough that my normality returned and then I ended up going back to visit friends and family and wondering why the hell people are following me around grocery stores.
There is still some of the evil angry racism that they portray in movies where they say the n-word and hang people and treat people of different skin colors as if they were subhuman, yes. That hasn’t gone away, but it is generally societally frowned upon, and people that are technically racist cheer when people like that end up getting caught for their crimes and suffering retribution.
The racism that is there is that they “other” people of different skin colors. Even if you are “one of the good ones”, you are still only allowed to associate with the group because of your “one of the good ones” status, and your skin color is the reason why you have that status.
The racism is so deeply embedded into the fabric of southern society that the people that live under it cannot see it. It’s like when you go to somebody’s house and they own pets, and they think their house smells fine, but all you can smell is the pet smell.
They’ve gone nose blind to it.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words 2 weeks ago:
I have a stupid conspiracy theory.
I believe they were trying to groom him to be the next Trump, and they wanted to duplicate the (also probably fake) assassination attempt and accidentally murked him.
So now they’re just trying to make lemonade out of lemons.
If I’m right that means that once the next big election cycle goes through we shouldn’t hear much more about him.

That’s a good way to get yourself to no longer be the Prime Minister of Australia.
- Comment on Reckless quads on the streets of Birmingham, almost knocking someone down 2 weeks ago:
I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, and I can guarantee you there are no Tesco expresses or left-handed driving.
Okay, well, there is a little bit of left-handed driving, but it’s generally frowned upon.

- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 3 weeks ago:
It’s probably easier to get UPS to pay than it is to get USPS to pay.
I recently shipped a $3,500 laptop across country through USPS and they just fucking lost it.
I had actually paid the extra for the insurance, so I filed a loss package claim, and they tried to offer me $50, and demanded that I show proof that the package that I sent to them that they lost was actually worth $3,500. They wanted receipts, they wanted pictures, they wanted everything to prove that that’s what it was.
Like, I paid them. I want to say $35 for the insurance (out of the company budget, it wasn’t my personal cash), and they wanted to put me through the ringer to actually live up to their side of the agreement.
Fortunately, after I filed the claim, they magically found the $3,500 laptop and then sent it on its way, but i- we literally paid for next day shipping, and it was not even next month when it finally arrived.
So needless to say, anytime we are shipping packages, we are using UPS because it’s going to be a hell of a lot easier to deal with them. And so far, they’ve never let us down.

- Comment on What would be a biological equivalent to an EMP? 4 weeks ago:
And knowing that is specifically why I chose the phrase “something like aerosolized chloroform” rather than saying “chloroform can do this!”
- Comment on What would be a biological equivalent to an EMP? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, and it’s kind of fortunate that at least as far as we know nothing like that exists because otherwise militaries would use it as an anti-personnel weapon.
- Comment on What would be a biological equivalent to an EMP? 4 weeks ago:
There are many medicines and chemicals that can incapacitate somebody.
Something like aerosolized chloroform, for instance, if you had enough of it could possibly cause many people to pass out, and as long as there was a prevailing win to clear it out before it reached whatever the toxic level of chloroform is, then people affected by it would be fine after it wore off.
