I like to think that I'm a better critical thinker than most, but I fell for the initial news story about her being trans or intersex and the fight being unfair. Then I saw the pictures of her over the years and as a kid, and I dug deeper into what actually happened and I honestly feel dirty. I've since been unsubbing to a lot YouTubers.

Can we do radio shack from the 80s early 90s over the cellphone retailer they turned into before death.

Spez the hero of Lemmy

I paid $1000 for books my first semester of college back in 2007. I felt so burnt and violated I never bought another textbook. I made it through the rest of undergrad, a masters, and a PhD in biochemistry by checking out books from the library, borrowing textbooks from friends, and going sailing. When I taught I made it a point to teach my students about all the ways they can avoid becoming a victim like myself.

I'm black, and I loved Dragon Ball, and back in the late 90s early 2000s when it was airing on Cartoon Network it was pretty much popular with everyone.

I can't talk for everyone but the saiyan and Frieza arc in Dragon Ball z really stuck with me. Goku knew nothing about his family his people and their history. Then all of a sudden they show up and reck havoc on his life. Eventually he learns that his people were essentially enslaved and exported around the universe as babies to work for their slave owner Frieza, and when they started to organize they were wiped out. This arc ends with a final showdown between the Goku who now knows his history and the last of his race facing down the slave master Frieza who thought he was nothing but a monkey.

It's nice they pulled this nonsense during a steam sale. Cancelled and picked up halo mcc and silksong.

I'm 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it's legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

Disney's treatment of Finn was the second most painful part of the echoes of the force trilogy

People like this should be treated the same as parents who drive their kids without car seats and seat belts.

The reason people are getting stuck up on sports and gendered bathrooms is that it's a wedge issue that can be weaponized to keep people fighting and distracted by culture war nonsense so the focus isn't on the building of the Orange Reich, a dozen companies contributing to almost all the climate change, and our economic system working to keep us enslaved.

The problem isnt woke, the problem is CW level writing. I've watched every episode of star Trek up to season 2 of Picard and the writers of discovery not understanding the speed of light, and it feel like the writers are just in qualified for their positions. It's so bad.

The writing for all the previous shows all had their highs and lows, but characters acted within their characterization and had genuine motivations. Picard season 1 was a rip off of mass effect and old man's war, with the facade Picard shoe horned in. Season 2 you have him chummy with a cold blooded murderer who faced no consequences.

I liked discovery for the first few seasons, but the plot holes, inconsistencies, and poor characterizations, left me feeling like watching the show was more habit or chore. I also never really felt like I got to know characters because their actions are so off the wall that you don't figure out the algorithms of their personality and motivations.

I honestly feel like lower decks has been the best Star Trek made in this new era, but I haven't seen brave new worlds yet or Picard season 3. I just needed a break after Picard season 2.

Prehensile penis is the unachievable body standard for the dense folk out there

Wait until they learn the Spanish word for black, or worse Latin.

Aldi rice cooker. $18 and the most used tool in the kitchen

Star wars has been effectively marketing me lightsabers for years, and I can't even carve a turkey with mine.

Vegas floods almost every time it rains. Sometimes it floods when it rains nearby like on Mt Charleston. I've nearly avoided flash floods hiking in red rock canyon, and seen people on the news get killed in washes on a regular basis. I trust the casinos to care more about their victims than president Elon.

I just hope they have the raw milk distribution set up to go live nationwide at the same time. I want all the people excited for this to get it, and enjoy it for as long as possible before the news gets to them.

I have a PhD, I work in biotech and have been working on obtaining state and federal grants with University Minnesota. Indirects are like 55-60% for land grant institutions that don't have to pay for the property they operate on, additionally they have nearly 40k undergrads paying 17-38k a year in tuition. So the scope of the research and the staff we can budget for comes from the 40-45% remaining, this includes funding techs, post docs, and the personnel that directly run the projects.

No I didn't vote for these fools, and exponentially more damage than good is coming, and I'm good friends with postdocs who are getting screwed in real time by this nonsense.

This is awesome, but beyond my skill level.

My company layed off the newest hire, and bought $50k of materials we need for R&D for the next year and a half. Im in the process of buying a duplex instead of a single family as a hedge, so my cost of living will be low enough to survive on my wife's part time salary if we can keep a renter. I will be planting food producing trees and bushes, and building garden boxes after close, and learning canning.
