Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.

Eggs are gross.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand... I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you've never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

Firefighters — who once backed the DeSantis takeover — are among those furious about the changes

"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face."

benefits like park passes are unethical.

Wtf. Perks are win-win. It's a trivial expense to allow employees to use existing company assets, but it's very valuable to the employees. Boss gets happy employees for less expense. Both sides are happy. No, that's bad because:

"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God," the passage began. "And those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."

Ok, I didn't see anything about perks there, but this logic supports gassing Jews (what the local authority wanted) and condemns smuggling them out of Germany (opposing God apparently).

These people are dangerously insane.

I really hope something comes of this. The fake electors are a WAY bigger deal than the documents case.

r/interestingasfuck and r/shittylifeprotips are both total free-for-alls. Nsfw, spez hate spam, random shitposts... I assume r/pics is still John Oliver. NSFW subs are posting Christian content.

Reddit is kinda on fire at the moment.

They're both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.

Once upon a time, Republican leadership were smart but evil people who fed lies to their base but understood that they were lying. Since they weren't actually delusional, they could choose the most politically useful lies and abandon the ones that didn't poll well.

Enough people believed their lies that the new generation of Republicans are True Believers. They've lost the ability to tailor their message to the political climate because it's no longer seen as just a bunch of crap to please the base, but TRUTH. Except that it's not actually true, so their policies fail.

This is the inevitable result of governing through falsehood. Objective reality can not be gaslit, and abandoning it never works out well long-term.

Amusingly, over the last few years, the same folks who spent decades twisting the arbitration system to their own advantage have been flipping out, now that arbitration claims have become a form of distributed denial of service attack in protest to the company’s bad behavior.

Lol, plaintiffs' law firm knows exactly what they're doing.

That's one of the better articles I've seen about all this. They actually understand what's going on.

"Defund the Police" was some of the worst branding/slogan I've ever seen. Like, opponents would literally just say "Can you believe they want to defund the Police?"

The actual ideas of the movement, like the program in this article, are great. They're popular, too. Demilitarizing the police has pretty widespread support.

But the first-glance impression of lawless anarchy that the "Defund" slogan brings up... You shouldn't need to explain why your slogan doesn't mean what it appears to mean.

That's... insane. I briefly stuck my head into r/shittylifeprotips and r/interestingasfuck to see it with my own eyes and... they're burning it all down, aren't they? Shitposts, butthole shots, spam about spez, porn... no "normal" posts at all.

Edit: spez is a greedy little pigboy

He organized an event without getting a permit.

The permitting process ensures that there's adequate security, traffic control, etc.

He didn't do any of that legally required stuff, and the result was an angry mob. We've been through this. This is why you need a permit for large public gatherings, and why he's legally liable for what happened.

My dad (silent generation): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and be able to own a house and support a stay-at-home wife and kids. I dunno how you kids make it.

Me (gen X): Back in my day, a guy could get a job at a gas station and afford rent and food. I dunno how you kids make it.

I'm not sure when the guy in the comic was born. Medieval times maybe? Because economic conditions for working class folks have been getting steadily worse for the entire lifespan of everyone alive today, at least in the US.

“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”

I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can't rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.

"We've decided to expand our policy of not paying bills. We're now retroactively un-paying bills we've already paid."

It also said Amazon put customers seeking to cancel through a cumbersome "four-page, six-click, fifteen option" process, which the FTC said was known internally as "Iliad" in a nod to the Greek epic about the "long, arduous Trojan War".

At least we get to live in a dystopian hellscape that respects the classics.

it’s possible that he was offered some kind of deal

It's been reported that Lukashenko (of Belarus) brokered a deal. I haven't seen any further details.

It's been a while since I read the Bible, but I remember a lot of emphasis on treating people you don't like with love and compassion. I don't remember anything in there prohibiting using someone's name because it's been changed.

Maybe this guy should read his book again.

I wouldn't call seven million murdered corpses "rubbish," but I guess we already knew how much Stalin valued his people.
