I stopped talking to mine. Good for her.

Everybody was faking being decent. The whole time they were monsters writhing in a tortured disgust at minorities finding equality.

It is so exhausting. I feel like an alien in this world. Like I am the only person I know that is aware or who gives a damn. It just blows my mind that people do not care

Bought off bastards will never do it until we kill the billionaires that pay them.

Tips are a big reason I stopped going out. Everybody wants one.

Goddamn, every day it’s a new nightmare. I just want out. Babies born now will never know what it was like to be a free-ish human.

We all know where this is going. Oh well, guess we need Faraday suits now.

Give it a few months. Those assholes have a whole island state off the coast of Honduras so that they can skirt development regulation. Peter fucking Theil. It’s only a matter of time before Elon grabs his neuralink and joins the psychopath “accomplishment is the only reason to live” circle jerk for the transhumanist bullshit.

Good. Maybe that will be the limitation the world needs to have more time to figure out how to respond to the disaster that will surely come with a lack of legislation coupled with billionaire carelessness. Maybe we can invent civil rights training to poison the AIs against screwing us all when the billionaires finally optimize their parasitic drain on society to get power for the AIs “big step” towards whatever dystopian nightmare awaits the rest of us.

Gen X was a higher red percentage this time around, oddly.

Political polarization was the greatest deflection.

I disagree. Stupid people are ruining the world. In my country, half the population is illiterate and enabling psychopaths. People who have no critical thinking skills are dragging down the rest of humanity. Off the bridge they go, if that saves the species as a whole. Things need to stop getting worse constantly. Let AI take them.

I spelled incorrectly. It’s watiko, but it could very well be related to the word you found.
Try this link: watiko

I mean, you could turn it on it’s side if the pump was still at lowest point and you moved/turned the lines and radiator to the proper positions. Not sure how feasible that is. If the cooling loops, fluid reservoirs, and radiators were reconfigurable for that purpose, it would tap into a new market for the manufacturer that pulled it off.

The Native Americans recognized a greed sickness in white men. They called it watika, IIRC.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 month ago:
I’m definitely below average. But I’m not sure education (or college at least) is the best direction to go at this time. It costs too much, and then people still don’t make much sometimes. Then there is job security. A mechanic will have a job for the foreseeable future. Coders and office workers are so far beyond fucked that I would not recommend someone pursue a career in an office right now.

I’m liberal and really enjoyed reading this comment. It might be one of the best ones I’ve seen on here. The part about microaggressions was spot on. This makes me wonder why I’ve never heard this perspective before? I wonder if people say this in mostly conservative forums, and I just don’t see it from my personal fish bowl? I’ve never heard it put quite like this. It’s almost as if it would have been useful for this position to be expressed earlier to educate people before all the frustration occurred.

What research? There are lots of folks with crippling debts. I know tons of people who will never be rid of their’s. As an engineer, I have never known job security. Who wamts to worry about losing their job every day? But I notice plenty of guys making a lot more than me since trades have a serious shortage of workers. Electricians around here charge whatever they want because there is not enough of them. Hospitals around here are bought up by one entity, so nurses can’t quit and make more money elsewhere. Teachers are quitting in droves such that it’s become a national crisis. But then there are plumbers making 6 figures.

If they wanted to address the education gap, wouldn’t they? Why would they want to when trades provide more money, no lost income for 4-5 years, or a crippling debt? Women are at a disadvantage there. I mean, I definitely don’t want to minimize overlooked hardships, but…
