  Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.

  What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don’t want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

  Trump is well into the category where he’s just being lead around by his handlers.

  I have a couple friend groups, so I’m safe, but two of them are terrible replying to messages or following up on commitments. I understand that people can be busy, but don’t say that you’ll be online later and then never show up. I’ve decided to refocus my attention on the friends who do reply to messages.

  Scott Adams as well.

  I’m guessing you’ve never seen a car getting prepped for new paint then. The panels are sanded down and bare metal is showing. This is probably going to get painted this weekend. Not everyone has two cars, so they’re driving this around while in the mean time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Murica!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it’s in the middle of being repainted.

  We always knew Disney animators were a bunch of furries.

  I’ll take your work on Issaquah being affluent and blame it on that and LA is just LA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic courtesy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where in the US? It’s pretty common where I’m from to put shopping carts back in their corral.

  Hollywood can and does go younger. Do you think Epstein Island was the only place where the power pedophiles go? Laws don’t matter to these people.

  Has anyone even accused DiCaprio of SA?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Leo’s relationships are also transactional and both parties understand that. He gets arm candy and the women get access to high level movie executives/producers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a sign of mental illness or just asshole behavior?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Black people do not have the right to use slurs against other groups, White, Jewish or otherwise. They only really have a right to “their” slurs when the recipient is ok with it.

  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called out the general acceptance of antisemitism and double standard within the Black community a few years ago.

  This person is just hateful and is using whatever justification they can to keep being hateful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's talk...wait... No! Not like that!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No. They were just drunks at the local bar, drinking themselves into an early grave. Or they joined the military to commit war crimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Erasure⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Deleted the record of a women’s scientific achievements isn’t the same as firing (or declining to renew a contract) of someone who’s falsifying test results or just being an ass.

  I wonder which person you’re actually referring to. Have a few names we can “peer review”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the same⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Me: 'It sure looks like rising CO2 levels are bringing climate change."

  I once saw a post about Oni, a 2001 Bungie game get deleted from the Bungie subreddit for not being Bungie related.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Working below minimum wage to save the planet⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve gotten shit for taking apart the filter screen on my toilet’s filler and cleaning out the sediment when I could just spend $20 to replace it. It’s really not even that hard once you figure out the trick for spreading the clips holding it together. They really didn’t want this to be user fixable.

  They also cancelled their tours and told their audience to practice proper covid protections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House Faith Office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers.

  uh, they get it from the ag departments from their state/local universities. They didn’t have universities back then.

  Also, while most farmers probably knew not to do hybrids back then, the consequences of loosing an entire year’s harvest of a stable crop would mean famine for the tribe. You can’t just ask for half of a neighboring village’s seed stock. It was important enough to make it a sin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House Faith Office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No. The seed thing is explicitly so the farmers could grow the same crop from year to year. If you grow a cucumber in the same plot as squash, the seeds from both will be a hybrid and not give you anything useful. Cucurbits are meritoriously easy to hybridize and create useless offspring. The genetic mechanics wouldn’t have been know, but you would still see the results. People needed to live in groups then and now. No farmer would ever be able to be completely self sufficient regardless, especially then.

  I was thinking more along the lines of shellfish for a primarily desert people or the Rabbi being the defacto food inspector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House Faith Office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of old testament stuff had to do with hygiene. Look at all the kosher rules regarding food. Deut. 22:9 also forbids growing mixed crops, which likely had to do with the chance of crossbreeds being infertile and the inability for Bronze/Iron Age tribes being able to replace seed stock quickly enough.

  Someone probably just hung the signs for a quick pic.

  Probably fake, but based.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wow, ok.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Leonardo DiCaprio? I don’t know much about him. If you mean the young girlfriend/partners, those are transactional relationships. He gets arm candy and they get access to high level producers and directors at parties. I feel like it’s much more honest and safe that they aren’t married to him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wow, ok.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other people have already mentioned scientology, so I’ll add this.

  Don’t act like disabling Watch History stop Google from recording your watch history for internal purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a few indie shooters I’ve played that are officially EA, but have hours of gameplay in their first play though and are very replayable. Selaco is an absolute joy with 9 hours on the main campaign and 22 hours for 100%. Officially EA with only the first episode out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hasn’t Hulu had ads on their paid tiers for a long time now? I remember that being a big deal way back, so I never bothered with a subscription.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish they could fix the Halo2 co-op issues, but that’s twenty year old spaghetti code. It would be easier to just host the game on one instance, tunnel the second controller input and stream the perspective.
