My ancient macbook has a cd drive, but it stopped recognizing the drive years ago and of course there’s no physical eject button. It Just Works!

Save a slap for the dude who invented slaps!

The truth of that is more likely that just any head of the executive branch requires so many people in key positions that no one is really running the show all that directly by the nature of the office.

This is also true of large corporations, and it’s why the C-suite and upper management can spend all their time and energy on battling for their positions in the hierarchy rather than doing anything related to the actual business.

Conservatives don’t want you dead.

Until AI, automation and robots make us serfs completely unnecessary. Then they’ll just want us dead.

And the light changed to green, and Jesus sped away in his cybertruck.

FTFY

I like how everyone removedes about gas station sushi, but the hotdogs being kept bacterial-paradise-warm on rollers until the end of time are A-OK.

Only tangentially related, but: I’m a school bus driver and a very popular name for kids these days is “Rhys”. I really enjoy asking them why they’re named after chocolate-covered peanut butter as it drives them crazy.

there would be nothing to prevent the 99% from rightfully rising up against the 1%

Except for the other 1% who are trained and equipped to violently suppress the 98%. And if for whatever reason they fail to do the job, the killer robots will do it instead.

And to top it all off, in order to preserve the only thing they have left - their freedom - they want to hand the country over to a dictator. It just doesn’t get any more oxymoronic than that.

This is the most basic fact that people in the US need to be made aware of: we spend literally twice as much per person on healthcare as the rest of the developed world. Twice as fucking much!

a lot of research and medical progress comes from america, financed by medically bankrupt americans

The real beneficial research is financed by taxpayers. The medically bankrupt finance the obscene profits of health care corporations and pharmaceutical companies, who do not spend much at all on primary research. The “research” they invest in is how to productize and market drugs.

I just gave it a listen today on my bike ride. It’s pretty good - not what I expected but not surprising, either. I’d characterize it as Kate Bush meets Dead Can Dance meets early ‘70s King Crimson, and since I like all three of those acts I like Gibbons’ album as well. I was surprised to see that it’s her first solo album.

Put money in your 401k! Nothing else really matters as much.

you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones

Pretty specific - I guess that closes the “get them high” loophole.
