Plot twist: the liquid inside the ball is nitroglycerin.

Idk man, I have it on good authority that JFK’s head just did that all on its own.

I think there are two major purposes in government. First, protection for its citizens. This includes military protection from hostile foreign powers and domestic protection from interpersonal crime and systemic violence as well as providing safety nets.

The second is creation, protection, and maintenance of public infrastructure, including transportation arteries, healthcare systems, etc.

Furthermore, government should be centered around protecting all its citizens, not just the richest.

It really is! I ran out of ammo yesterday when I was shooting up an Oklahoma daycare center. Walked across the street to the Walmart and got another 50 rounds of 7.62 from the vending machine. I was back to shooting toddlers in like 5 minutes flat! So convenient!

Whenever I see these I make a comment on how these are spread by evil hacker men so that tech illiterate rubes self-identity.

I don’t know if that’s actually true but it sure got the boomers on my feed to stop posting this bullshit for a while.

That’s a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.

He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.

• Only state to not vote for Reagan
• Weed legalized
• Free Breakfast and Lunch for all students
• First state to protect LGBT Americans from discrimination
• Only state to not vote for Reagan
• Protected abortion rights
• Childcare assistance for low income parents
• Planned high speed rail between the Twin Cities and Duluth
• Legalized gay marriage before Obergefell v. Hodges
• Only state to not vote for Reagan

There’s plenty more but those are just the ones I can think of right now.

Extremely common Minnesota W. I love my state.

Either toss my ass in a dumpster or give me a sky burial. No exceptions.

It’s really only undergrad that’s usually uber expensive. My wife is getting her master’s for like $10k/year and her company is paying for half of it.

Meanwhile our undergrad was like $40-50k/year with no help.

Also this average is probably averaging current balances, not total disbursement.

My understanding is that wolves don’t have “eyebrows” at all. The fact that many dogs have them is either an evolved or selected trait specifically to communicate with humans.

This is why architects need to be on a leash at all times.

All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that’s a bad idea for a city.

I agree. With the cost reduction on renewables, grid-scale nuclear doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore.

However, I hope that nuclear will get a revival with SMR technology. Especially as local power facilities for things like data centers and auto plants and other industrial facilities that require as much power as a small nation.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There’s so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it’s not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

I’ll only accept this if they march them across the Alps and sack Rome like they should have done the first time. 😤

Playing through 7 Days to Die for the first time with some friend and having a blast.

I see your thinly veiled Hanlon’s Razor and counter with Clark’s Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”

That was actually the coolest year of the rest of your life.
