Good luck with that. On an unrelated note, how's that arrest of a certain Israli war-criminal going? Or a certain Orange Asshole former, and maybe future POTUS?

Well I didn't until now.

I know that sounds dismissive, but if you have no healthcare and can't afford a place to live, and your right to dissent is eroded every day, then all of the other differences won't matter when we're dead.

I'm on my 2nd reading of Bullshit Jobs by Graeber, I'll have to pick up Debt; I hear a lot of good things about it.

Sure they have lockput/tagout. You sit through an hour long video, then sign a sheet where you promise to obey the safety rules. Then when you actually try to do things by the book, your supervisor asks you "what the fuck are you doing?" and says "we don't have time for that". One place I worked had a peg board with everyone's lock and key for lockout/tagout; all of the locks had about a 1/4 inch (@ 6 mm to our European friends) of dust on them from lack of use.

If you do not pay us the IRS, we will put you under the rest.

I'm quitting Prime this month; on top of being twice as expensive as the rest, the greedy mf-ers are adding commercials with a price hike if you want no commercials. Also quitting Disney+ and Hulu for lack of content and lack of funds. I'll be quitting Netflix next. I quit Paramount+ a few months ago now that I'm all caught up on watching all the Star Trek series.

I joined a Chess Federation sponsored chess club in Omaha in my late 20s. Nothing is more humbling than getting beat by a 12-year-old.

I think I was detoxing at the time. Your solution was much more mature.

Not to make excuses for the Cybertruck, but a big part of driving in snow is experience. The way he's spinning his wheels shows ether his lack of experience driving on snow and ice, or the truck doesn't have a "low gear" for it. The first rule of driving in snow is don't do it if you don't have to.

Before he was elected I said "what kind of an idiot could bankrupt a fucking casino? Those things practically shit money." Some assholes who I used to be friends with used to tout his bussiness skills, but they also claimed that a Confederate flag was their "heritage". I suspect they only liked him for being a bigot.

I was thinking about this recently. You know the MLK quote about the universe bending toward justice? The eventual heat death of the universe is the only way everything will be equal.
