My observation is that you are a broken human. Seek therapy.

Imagine the amount of human centipede like fart sniffing must go on in that boardroom.

So inexorably divorced from reality.

Yep the pedestrian is the problem in this scenario. 😐 FWIW I bike in high-vis gear, I’ve died like 13 times. We bend over backwards to prove what the problem is: motor vehicles. Fuck cars.

Perhaps we should be able to work from home where the work itself permits and also get paid the same amount. Fuck off with the push polling.

That ain’t happening. If one were to occur here, a coup would be a popular movement or a military one.

What doesn’t these days?

That union is always on the wrong side of support for other unions. ACAB forever.

If you are asking, you probably know the answer for yourself.

Holding presidents accountable kicked the dodo as soon as Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon. If you hold one accountable, then the precedent is that you have to hold them all accountable. The list of war crimes and domestic use of violent force to curb peaceful protest from US presidents on both sides of the aisle would have to be interrogated for one. Neither party wants that.

I wish I could not fund military spending, otherwise taxes are good.

Helmets only give the wearer a better probability to survive a direct shot to the head. Helmet engineering has improved just like other engineering disciplines. That said even a WWII helmet gave the wearer a higher probability of surviving certain calibers and bullet types more than without one. Take the example of a high angle/glancing shot. Most of the kinetic energy does not transfer to the head or helmet in either case. The head will still absorb more of the glancing forces than a helmet, thus giving the wearer a much lower probability of surviving than if they wore a helmet.

Nowadays helmets are made to improve the absorption and deflection properties, thus giving an even higher probability of survival. That said bullets of sufficient size and shape as well as shrapnel can penetrate the helmet if precisely placed.

And that minority gets an outsized place at the media table due to billionaire oligarchs who want total control.

Actuay a great summation in another post around the same time:

I can tell you from years of experience, Tesla high beams will turn on and blind me all the fucking time regardless of time of day. So please, don’t patronize me and my experience.

Fucking blue lights. Also fuck Teslas that do auto brights because that shit does NOT work correctly.

This one was taken at 10:30 AM Eastern Time if that helps.

Really have to hand it to Nintendo. They give no fucks.

*this statement is a joke and fuck their litigation strategies. Impoverishing people by garnishing wages for life is a heinous overreach.

Peak Nintendo yesterday as rumors about the next gen handheld hit an apex they announced, I shit you not, a Lego Gameboy.

This is what Genki is known for: reverse engineering something to make a product for it. Their original covert dock for the Switch was made using reverse engineering specifications of the official Nintendo dock.

42 hours with family, friends.

Corporate media’s sycophantic bias laid bare.
