They never list titles or condition of the books so I just assume they are the same books you can find in big piles at the dump mostly old text books and technical books. I love books I own hundreds of them, but people don't buy enough 2nd hand books there are sites where you can buy books by the yard so you can have a neat and matching library, there are warehouses full of books to rent for movie sets. Noone realy cares they just want to be upset.

Most "rare" books exist in digital format.

I refer to it as geek culture black face.

"Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats?"

You mean a couple hundred paid agitators that were bussed up from asylums in south America?

Because that's the story your average republican voters would believe. I know it's a bit hyperbolic but some of the shit I've heard them say about Mrs Good, and in general about the current protests leads me to feel that there is no limit to the lies an average republican voter is willing to suck down.

All that said I do not believe the military would follow those orders, but I'm not sure they would interfere if the DOJ started killing protesters in front of them.

Honestly having grown up in the 80s I feel that racism is tolerated a lot less today. Most places will fire openly racist people now, but I worked with guys in the 90s who would have flat out racist conversations in the break room and the only black guy there couldn't say shit or he would get fired, after all they did tell him "you're one of the good ones" so why would he be mad?

Not just yelling at kids, just being in a house where people are verbally abusive can fuck a person up, if my parents were not yelling at each other they were yelling at one of us kids. to the day 30 some odd years later just being around someone who is pissed off triggers my anxiety.

I told my now wife everything as it came up, I never hid anything from her. Also I had already cut ties to almost all of my family.

When people tell me " your parents raised you right" I respond with " no the family dogs did most of the raising, my parents served as a bad example"

I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.

I was an inspector in an airplane factory in 1998. And honestly if we had had 2020 PCs in the shop I would have been around 75% more effective.

A large part of my day was spent resetting PCs they had just started useing them on shop floor and all the old fucks who worked there had 0.00 computer knowledge I got calls to "Send 1d10" by union contract I wasn't allowed to do "IT" jobs as I was union and IT mostly didn't exist, it took days for a IT call to get answered.

90% of the "send 1d10" calls were because they had locked up the PC by having to many windows open, they were afraid to close them so they minimized the non work related windows, but then didn't know where they went so they opened a new one.

The only music station I listen to is one run by the students in a liberal art college near me, on a good day it has a range of something like 10 miles. There is almost no talking except station ID notices and everything they play is music I like.

I'm a 50 year old goat farmer with "scene girl" taste in music.

Stand by means they are contacting all of the soldiers and making sure everything is good to go.

Also It makes trumps threat of sending the Army look like even a more bad Idea.

Dammit no, yesterday I woke up with the idea of a knight rider reboot where Kitt is a barely functioning cyber truck, Nic Cage is a 25 year old Michael and the script is 100% AI written.

So years ago I was into mountain biking, and decided I was going to buy a decent bike, well the model I liked was sold out but the guy said " if your ok with yellow I've got one in the back we can't sell" ended up getting the bike I wanted, in yellow, and he gave me $50 off. I started telling everyone yellow was my favorite color and at this point it really is. It's fun cause it is probably the least favorite color so I'm constantly find things in yellow when the other colors are sold out,also yellow things end up in discount bins. It's been 25 years now and I honestly get a happy feeling when I find something I want in yellow.

My ex would try to maintain an exact speed by slightly ecxelerating then let off the gas over and over, just tap tap tap on the gas. 100 miles of tiny lurches.

And paralegals, I would bet the paralegals are the ones useing AI, but telling a judge "hey I didn't check anything I just submitted what the paralegals gave me" could be worse for the career.

Jesus fucking christ now I'm going to half to explain math and deep time to my mother and mother in law again.

"1d10, I just read that the universe is ending soon"

I can honestly see them kicking Vance out putting puppy killer in as VP and declaring that the election should be postponed for 6months so she can have the same chance Harris had.

Yeah they define female as member of species with largest sex cell but also state the sex person is at conception is their sex, therefore we are all sexless.

The Bible says " He who speaks without knowing shall be praised by fools and mocked by the wise"

Just like every other time a GOP president fucked american farmers there will be a "save the farmers" bill passed that will allow agri businesses to profit and some of the smaller farms will be bought out by large companies and the fuckwit voters will cheer for Trump saving farmers from the evil foreigners.
