Trump wins.

Reply in thread

Fuckimg depressing that probably 1/3rd of people didn't vote. And of the 2/3 of those that did - most of them voted Trump.

So basically a minimum of 1/3 but more likely more than 1/2 of Americans wanted Trump and the Republican Party to represent them. They voted for:

  • Russian dominion over Ukraine and further aggression on its neighbours
  • Chinese genocides and aggression on its neighbours
  • mass deportation of vulnerable and productive members of society (he calls them immigrants)
  • men controlling women's health and avoidable deaths
  • oppression of LGBTQ+
  • racism
  • fraud
  • corruption

Why? Because they believe that Trump is going to make them richer.

Nice people.

Reducing the amount of narcotic gases in your mix so you don't act like a drunk idiot when in a life threatening situation.

Those narcotic gases are nitrogen and oxygen (although there's only so little oxygen you can have....and also only so much!)

Edit: extra info: oxygen and nitrogen are narcotic at depth, nitrogen is better understood and so often we talk about nitrogen narcosis, which tends to start hitting people after about 30m, but each person reacts different and to different degrees at different deaths. I personally notice it at about 50m or so. If I was more relaxed while diving it'd probably hit me sooner.

I mean it is expensive, it's just the amount required for a balloon is insignificant and thus seems cheap.

As a diver who uses helium I can tell you it is, compared to air, so much more expensive they actually charge me for it (rather than just rolled into the cost of a dive) - to the sum of about $300 a dive - depending on depth.

People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I join in then I'm the crazy one

The other day a dude was using his phone on speaker in the gym. Just sat there on the machine casually having a conversation on the phone and not doing a whole lot of working out.

I asked him if he could use the phone normally and made the "hand to face" gesture and he just mumbled a "yeah" and took it off speaker.

Now if he had considered my request outlandish, presumably there would have been a little friction in this exchange? But no....he knew exactly what he was doing, why it was annoying, and immediately how to remedy it.

Why the fuck are people using speakerphone instead of the God damn normal speaker to have their conversations? They know it's annoying.
