The people in power actually taking climate change seriously, and not just in a tragedy of the commons type of way. I mean actually working together to slow it down or reverse it.

She also might be trying to place herself as a contender for the 2028 election. If Trump wins and doesn't completely up end the two term limit then in 2028 the Republican party will need a new presidential candidate. If he loses he may not live to see the 2028 election and it's the same thing. She's only doing what every sycophant and nonconformist has done throughout human history, planning ahead for when the king dies.

I have the best Jewish friends. They're not strict Jewish, they adapt a lot of the traditions to suit themselves. For example any of the food heavy holiday's they invite their non-Jewish friends over but do most of the religious stuff before we show up. So for me, I get to visit with friends, eat pretty good food (I've learned what to avoid like the unleavened bread), and help them celebrate something that's important to them. They make no expectation for us to actually participate, just respect that they are. It's a good time.

I feel for their kids though, they have to do the 10 hour thing.

Adding to that, Stanley Tumblers have become the latest status symbol for children as well as adults. So it's not uncommon for a child to get bullied because their water bottle isn't a Stanley Tumbler.

Just remember that I stuck my neck out for you. We've got a lot work coming in and I'll need you to pick up some of the slack. Who knows, maybe this time next year you could be a team leader and switch over to salary. It opens a lot of opportunities.

A forklift licenses mean practically nothing. I've seen grown men who have been on a forklift their whole lives make stupid mistakes over and over while kids a fraction of their age without a license can flip dimes.

In the first game I remember charging about $5.00 or something for the bathroom. Easiest fake money I've ever made to fuel the construction of my psychopathic murder rides.

You know what's funny, I recently read a CNBC business article that said auto-makers are saying consumers aren't buying enough electric and hybrid vehicles. That supply has outpaced demand. You know what they're not going to do, drop prices like basic economic theory says they should. According to auto-makers the problem wasn't that they over estimated how popular their products are, the problem is the consumers not living up to their expectations. If we were good little consumers we'd just take on more debt but apparently we're not cooperating.

Are your AIO fans, pump, etc. connected to the motherboard or through a USB hub?

I dunno, him and Coolio had some beef in the 90s. When Weird Al parodied Coolio's Gangsters Paradise with his Amish Paradise Weird Al didn't do so with the consent of Coolio. Gangsters paradise was a deeply personal song to Coolio so he was understandably upset. As a direct parody it was protected under fair use but Weird Al didn't feel right about it. So he reached out to Coolio, apologized and ever since then Weird Al has gotten the artist approval to parody their work despite the fact he doesn't need to. Coolio did eventually come around and agree it was a pretty funny parody. Plot twist, (not really) that's how humble Weird Al is, he didn't do anything legally wrong and yet he still recognized he could do better.

Nothing and everything. Joe Rogan's 'I'll talk with anybody' reputation which made his show so appealing at the start landed a lot of right-wing extremists on that show. People began to criticize Joe Rogan for not having any standards and giving truely horrible people a platform. Typically the more left leaning a person was the more they criticized him and this has slowly pushed his opinions to the right over the last decade. Additionally a lot of Trump supporters began to see Joe Rogan's show as a means to popularize and legitimize their beliefs. Since Joe Rogan is so impressionable, and Trump supporters found a home there he made the final leap into right-wing conspiracy theories after Trump was elected and has been getting even more out of touch with reality ever since.

There are only two types of people I hate. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
