“I’ll have you know that I use this truck once a year to pull something a sturdy station wagon could handle just fine! And what if you need a really shitty version of a U-Haul? Then who are you gunna call?!? I saved $200 moving that one time and all it cost me was an extra $35k and a gas bill with numbers mathematicians are still trying to describe properly.”
Trucks: If you don’t have a fifth wheel RV then you may just be a complete dipshit.
At some point it’s not Donald Trump doing the damage, though. The worst things he can really do to someone in that position is expose bad things about those people during a petty temper tantrum(fine be me, let ‘em all burn together) or not pay them(which should be expected, that’s par for the course for him).
Rudy didn’t see a good thing that turned out to be a lie and was tricked into doing bad things. He willingly jumped into a dumpster fire to support an unashamedly disgusting person. He wanted exactly what he got and how Trump treats him is just a really fucking obvious consequence of his numerous dogshit decisions.
So as it that pertains to the article I stand by saying that she’s struggling to reconcile with the fact that her dad is just, at his core, a massive, stupid piece of shit.
Looking at it more I think they did it that way so when you put a regular cord in the plug is protected and the extra spaces on top and bottom are the get your fingers in to unplug it.
TL;DR: She’s pretty solid, doesn’t hold back any punches against Trump and even uses some more casual and direct language to call him the scum he is. Despite her privilege she would have definitely voted democrat either way, which is refreshing.
She understands that her father isn’t exactly the best of people but is definitely struggling with calling him out for what were, ultimately, his decisions and his decisions alone. For that, and given the context of the rest of what she wrote, I think we can give her a pass as she is related to him however the dude’s pretty top-tier garbage so I hope she comes to accept how much of this was just as much his own fault.
Like when Bezos flew to space and went “wow, it really takes going to soace to truly appreciate that we’re all in this together” when a) no it fucking doesn’t you dumbass sociopath and b) you went to space and still treat everyone like garbage.
We gotta do all the physical and emotional labour for these people who’ve never had a clever idea once in their life, only the money to force mediocre ones to succeed.
This work will have lots of applications in the future. I personally stay as far away from it as I can because I just have zero need for it to write souless birthday card messages for me but to act like the work is doing nothing is kinda stupid.
Every stage it’s been at people would say “oh this can’t even do X” and then it could and they’d so “oh it can’t do Y” and then it could and they’d say…do I really need to go on?
The biggest issue with it all right, for me anyway, now is that we’re trying to use it for the absolute dumbest shit imaginable and investors are throwing tonnes of money, that could solve real problems we don’t need AI for, into the grinder while poverty and climate change run rampant around us.
Haha fuck yea!
It just says “world@…” for me. Are we seeing the same thing? And the description I read says it’s about “events happening around the world” which is pretty vague but doesn’t immediately scream that it needs to be international news.
Edit: I see it’s tucked into the logo. I dunno, I don’t put high priority into a logo.
Yup yup yup. The people who’ve literally been shocked that I’m not judging them break my fucking heart.
“How ya doing?”
“Good.”
“…”
“Bro come on we’re literally friends already are you seriously not excited about anything that happened in the last two weeks?”
When we’re all told that “proper” is not talking about ourselves we end up with needlessly boring conversations and the inverse idea that someone excited about something is being improper. Keep an eye on how much space you’re taking up, leave openings for people to jump in, but yap if ya gotta yap.
Preface: I agree with you but want to add a counter to explain why people might be uncomfortable following your advice.
—
We should admit that there are people who have decided that there are “wrong” answers and that those people have soured the experience enough that there’s a whole branching group of people afraid enough of them to instictually perpetuate the same nonsense. It’s not about “I don’t know what I should say” but about “I don’t know what I’m allowed to say that will avoid some form of behind-the-back punishment.”
There are also some people I know who where a mask thicker than their own skin and I know for a fact that they do it because of trauma. They refuse to hold strong opinions and when they do you have to be incredibly delicate with them because sharing an opinion means something entirely different to them. If you share an opinion then to them you wouldn’t unless you were really mad or really had no respect for the alternatives. My ex-girlfriend literally couldn’t handle me saying “no yea…” because the “no” was negative and it was her, by her own admission, traumatized parents who made her that way. I’ve still tried to soften myself since but oh my god.
I’m polite, your typical conservative would probably call me woke, and people call me up when they’re feeling sad because they trust me. When I say “opinion” I don’t mean insane crap like trying to say that homophobia or sexism is “just my opinion, bro” but like literally even just giving polite, requested feedback after a course or something. I swear giving a 4/5 review is the end of the world to these people because any negativity is percieved as a death sentence(and it kinda is, thanks capitalism). “I really liked most of X but think this part could be streamlined” is translated by them to “I hate you deeply and am just trying to soften the blow to appear proper”.
Which is what the original poster said, the amount of money is the issue. And boy is it, there’s nothing quite as depressing as going to work every single day and wondering why you even bother. Makes ya reeeeeal productive, too, being distracted and unmotivated.
This also isn’t the “worldnews” sub, so…
It’s “mathematically” correct but the extra “not” gets easily lost and is in a weird place. Plus it’s not specifically respectful to avoid the use of the word but rather it’s just common decency. In your sentence it puts more weight on the act of not saying it, as if using it is fairly normal and not using it takes some amount of effort.
It is usually better to use phrases like “it is considered disrespectful” over ones like “it is not considered respectful” even though they technically mean the same thing. The first is postively a bad thing and the second is negatively a particularly good thing, if that makes sense. Nuance is tricky business.
People know what an app is. They may not understand how it works fully but you’re gunna have to be ok with the fact that this is a mildly niche community and you can know a lot of tech stuff these days without being particularly passionate about it.
Trump not knowing what an app is just shows that he’s beyond regular stupid, below even what could be considered the barest level of “in touch”.
Wonderful! Jesus Christ I can never quite understand the capacity for evil so many people have. Absolutely vile.
The claim is false and we should absolutely be careful about how we word things but also the outcome will be, as you say, essentially the same.
“…reminder that Project 2025 plans to defund large sections of the NOAA and is more worried about how facts ruin their arguments than the safety of your towns and cities.”
A little longer but at least it’s true.
Wait but I was told that rich white people didn’t have special privilege and that we had solved racism! I thought generational wealth had nothing to do with anything!
Christ the fact that that’s only being addressed now is insane to me. I thought it was just done quitely, I didn’t realize it was actually fully allowed.
“communities should honor the expectations they set”
Oh, really?
Well, carbs are ass but they had fuel-injected 6cyl Rangers and Mazda B2500s. Those were solid trucks and for jobs where having a bed you could just toss shit into is actually important they worked great. Plus you could reach into the bed unlike these new giant fucking things and that’s coming from a dude who’s 6’-5”.
The biggest thing is that if they actually had any braincells and truly bought the vehicle for practical reasons they’d probably all own GMC Savannas and stuff but it’s all about the image so…
