They know how pandering to political powers works.

- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 5 weeks ago:
He said he’d get off the train in Harlem and people would look at this super pasty redheaded white guy like a leprechaun had shown up.
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 5 weeks ago:
He married a black woman. You should hear his stand up talking about going to her place in Harlem. lol
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 5 weeks ago:
And he did marry a black woman so he is far from conservative.

He’s from the Boston area. We are all needlessly aggressive.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 month ago:
Most criminal laws are at the state level so it would be a CA law.
UNATTENDED CHILD IN MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
There is no need for a seperate law in the event of harm or death since that would just fall under existing harm/death of a child laws.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 month ago:
I can barely handle being in a car that has been sitting in the sun for the 5 minutes it takes for the AC to get up to speed.
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 1 month ago:
The conditions for that to happen are quiet rare. Not worth worrying about.

My wife does. I have a thing for using a kettle on the oven.
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 1 month ago:
Too much clutter on my counters already. I can just leave the kettle on the oven.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Slapping on tariffs at a time with inflation, high consumer anxiety, and wage stagnation is going to be looked on as one of the worst moves a president has made.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I remember during the big housing bubble in the early 2000s people were telling me “Oh you better buy now” even though down payments were insanely high and I kept thinking “The cost of housing is totally out of whack with incomes. There is no way this can keep going up.” Surprise, surprise the whole thing blew up and lots of people were then left with mortgages that cost more than their homes so they were stuck. On top of that the prices were still out of whack with incomes and I still couldn’t afford a house unless it was a wreck. I eventually just moved out of the state.
I was just reading how the normal “escape cities”, like Miami, for people fleeing high cost areas like San Francisco and Boston/NYC are now almost as expensive. Guess people will have to go to St Louis and Des Moines.
- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 1 month ago:
You need three prongs, infrastructure, training and enforcement. No one wants to spend the large amount of $ it would take to redesign thousands of miles of roads in each city. There is also the issue of how ridiculously low the bar is set for getting a license and how basic safety inspections are. In my state I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen highway patrols enforcing traffic laws.
- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 1 month ago:
That is a pretty high number of shootings then. Practically everyone drives so that is a lot of miles/person. You have to drive, you don’t have to be shot, that is why it draws media attention.

I’ve seen so many HVAC repair trucks on the roads this week.
- 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:
This drives me nuts with the news cycle. “The US won’t get involved in X”. The media shows how awful fighting/revolt/etc are in X. “Why won’t the US do something about the horror in X!?” The US gets involved and, of course, some civilians die. This is guaranteed in war. The media then goes “The US is awful for killing civilians in X!” The US pulls out of X. The media goes “Why has the US abandoned X!?”
- 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:
After WW2 the US became addicted to being the world police and many other countries were happy to have the US cover the cost of their defense or income from hosting US bases.

The 2nd button down on the right side of the screen mutes it. I always hit it when pumping gas.
- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 3 months ago:
It never stays pristine but the worst of it took decades to accumulate. We found over a dozen tires, a safe, a beaten up rowboat, tons of old clothes piled up at an old campsite and of course the every present cans and plastic bottles. We also worked on removing invasives. As time went on most of the trash was what got carried by the streams feeding it from drains. There was one time I found a car had been dumped off of the bike path and set on fire.
Thanks for cleaning things up. It is very satisfying if a bit frustrating too. It is one of the few things in life where the result is obvious and clearly positive. I’m always picking trash up on hikes. Maybe the owner of the land would be willing to assist you by providing a place you can deposit the bags of trash and they could truck it out weekly or so. We did something similar with the state (it was public land) and had a storage shed with tools a local business let us use.
- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 3 months ago:
I worked on regular cleanups of a wetlands near my old apt and the bike path that ran by. We’d pull literally tons of crap out of there but over time it got less and less.
I remember the 70s-80s and the trash but that doesn’t excuse littering even less now.
