- Comment on America’s Decline in 1 graph 4 days ago:
The big event was Reagan busting the air traffic control union. Union really busting took off afterwards since it was demonstrated the government would roll them for private sector interests. Unions that existed just became gutted of power and influence as a result and people stopped joining.

Massie being the closest thing to a decent person in the GOP wasn’t an accolade.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 5 days ago:
when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth
This was an important part that shouldn’t be discounted since it was still at the core of the argument.

It went back and forth.
- Comment on 📡📡📡 1 week ago:
Why does a Nazi attack a leftist org of all things? Instead of their professed hated groups: immigrants or jews? The original Nazis used those two groups as sources of communism/socialism/marxism in Europe/Germany.
The cause that Nazis, especially the actual, literal Nazis from history, have used the most to legitimize themselves is anti-communism.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 week ago:
The original line is that we would get tired of winning. So that’s what this is. We’re tired of winning so we have opted for losing. Lots of losing.
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 1 week ago:
Overnight thawing refrigerator fot 24 hours? Absolutely enough time. It doesn’t need fully thawed fish, just enough of a surface on the corner of the package closest to the door is enough to get it started.
If it’s there. But transferring it into an oxygen environment removes the risk, which is the goal of the packaging.

Generally speaking, it doesn’t matter how many good months you have. You’re still 3 months out.

I’m sure he said something equivalent while he wasn’t dead.

Credits are for future and guns, it’s coins/pieces of gold/silver when swords.

Carlson’s dad ran Radio Free. He is generationally skilled at what he does.
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 2 weeks ago:
Almost all of it is, or at least originates, from racism, at least with schools.
When public schools allowed racial integration , school choice became a mechanism for racists to pull their kids from mixed schools.
It grew into things like charter schools that are private, often religious, schools that get public funding and maintain segregation.

Oh look! A coin!
- Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 3 weeks ago:
Same goes for commenting. Sometimes it can be funny when someone goes through your post history just to quote a comment you make 2+ years ago and still be wrong.

Maybe there’s a chance it is just Mal0. You should be alright. No documented hostility.
- Comment on THCposting 3 weeks ago:
Storz & Bickel’s Volcano is a great device. It’s not cheap, but it’s been one of the best investments (covid stim check) I ever made.
- Comment on Simply Bananas 3 weeks ago:
Opinions of the guy aside, I recall it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson who made the argument that it simply is cheaper and easier to go to the moon than to fake it and maintain the coverup.
Like, we can’t keep secrets for shit, but that’s the one that stays kept?
- Comment on Hmmmm 3 weeks ago:
I had a friend in college who wrote a paper that religion was started by the original nerds who needed to classify and rank which level of angel and spirit.
I believe he argued the term “Angel of Death +2” is as equally valid as one name to the next across cultures and history.
I still think he was right.

Dante’s Inferno is also effectively fanfiction of a socialite without any real ecclesiastical value. He wrote in the vernacular, instead of Latin, which was what made it accessible and popular.
- Comment on They really hate artists 4 weeks ago:
Art just requires practice, which is even more rudimentary than education.
Prompt engineering and sifting through slop can appear like practice to anyone who doesn’t. This, I find, is the source of the delusion and hate.

- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 5 weeks ago:
There was an odd period of time in America where a large portion of the population got their political information and social awareness from the Comedy Central television network.
The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and South Park.

Definitely just the name too.
- Comment on The light at the end of the tunnel is getting much closer. KEEP PUSHING 1 month ago:
The crazy thing is just how popular socialism is across America. Deep rural red America can be quite supportive of socialist policies in practice.
They just don’t like the words. The language is poisoned. So they keep listening to the chorus that condemns the words they don’t like. Their perception is flat wrong and based on specific lies, but that’s a hurdle that has to be contended with, and why it’s so complex to discuss.

Push it to the limit. (Crash the gates!)

The equivalent of the prostate gland in female bodies, the name escapes me at the moment, secretes into the bladder when stimulated.
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
Definitely can be, though I walked into a rural health department who had paper applications. They didn’t use online applications as a screening method. Got the job that month. They were also a weird teamsters union department, and probably wouldn’t have hired me if I weren’t white. So the mileage definitely varies.
(And yeah I processed paperwork 80% of my time there.)

I don’t just mean the admin jobs though. There’s some field jobs, especially in water (drinking and waste, which I followed) and food (inspecting restaurants I avoided.) Health departments, for example, are in need of staff across the country, especially after the 2023 culling of covid funding. Public service is retiring fast.

If you got the degree you can land a basic government job that isn’t in a major city. Process permits for 20 an hour in a small town easily. And the smaller more rural towns don’t usually require a degree and will consider someone who will just live in town.
And from there you can work you way up way better than any corporate environment.
