I like this new world of ours where CEOs get the public recognition they deserve for all the hard work they do.

Thank you, CEOs, for giving us somebody to look up to. By name.

How can one be denied and the other given a pass,

Unfortunately I think the honest answer is something like “fuck off, pleb”

legally?

Oh sorry, I missed that last word there. In that case I think the answer is something like “fuck off, counselor”

Boy I hope no future healthcare CEO assassins copy this calling card, and I especially hope their bullet shells aren’t covered with the names of people killed by the CEO’s company denying them healthcare.

Not only would that encourage more copy cats, but it would really capture people’s attention and get them thinking about the issue. If the public starts considering crazy propaganda like how seeking maximum profit at the expense of widespread human suffering might not be life’s most noble pursuit, just imagine what could happen!

Surely you’d make an exception if the mass-market seasoning used on a CEO was sold by that CEO’s own company!

The details make the headline come across like “humans who refuse to acknowledge mental heath and emotional needs are at a higher risk of suicide” which tracks, especially from my American point of view. What passes for manliness, at least for some who really care about being traditionally “manly,” is essentially an excuse to act like a child and/or cope while in denial of mental illness.

With some people it seems like a subconscious addiction to self harm. It can be so hard to have compassion for oneself sometimes. At some point you have to give yourself permission to pursue the things that actually make you happy rather than the things you’re supposed to like. (Details vary based on the individual and their local culture)

Don’t underestimate the value of the “I’m going to wander outside for a couple minutes” break on your well being!

I’m sitting here realizing that my big hobby project of the past few years — a koi pond in my back yard — is essentially a reason to just go outside and chill.

My work dell has that stupid issue too.

Or at least it did, until I booted into Mint for the first time. 4 screens immediately usable. Boot back into Windows and it goes back to not working. You get one monitor mirrored.

Maybe they have some shady limitation in a driver unless you have the highest end models?

On my work machine, just a Dell laptop with a dock and some monitors, Mint Cinnamon actually gave me a better out-of-box than win10.

I didn’t try Mint until 21 (the version before current) and it’s just so smooth now.

Ooh, maybe this means cheaper used Teslas.

…but then you’d have to drive a Tesla. Shit.

Plus the “lake lovers” should probably be extended over to at least include the city that shares a name with one of those lakes. (Erie, PA)

Gates was the guy nerds were supposed to hate decades ago because Microsoft and billionaire. But that feels fun and innocent compared with today where the billionaires are actively trying to destroy society and ruin people’s lives as opposed to just exploiting them for their labor.

Well yeah. If you’re ready to kill some fool then marijuana-ing once might not be enough.

Marijuana: maybe twice or thrice!

You need your knives, CHECK!

Gotta love when the conspiracy is so stupid that it’s the people who dedicated their lives to building and spreading human knowledge are the ones keeping the knowledge away from Joe public.

You know how Trump has been called the poor person’s idea of a rich person? I’m trying to think of the caricature they use for “scientist” in their minds. Maybe a woke Joe Rogan?

If you want a baby that’s relatively healthy, adoption can be an absolute nightmare. If anybody ever says to adoptive parents that they got their kid the “easy way,” it made them sound profoundly ignorant. It’s one of those life experiences where you learn about a whole shitty world that exists right under the surface that most people are blissfully unaware of. That includes adoption, fostering, child protective services, and all that crap.

The only reason my wife and I have a biological kid is because the adoption process drove us to give it one more try with a new doctor in parallel. If we happened to adopt AND conceive, then fine. Instant family.

But here we are with a 7 year old only child that’s biologically ours, not adopted. We might start fostering in the next few years though.

Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.

I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.

Ooh do they offer this in a multi-pack with the “Everything I Don’t Like is Woke (this engine is woke)” book?

I’m sure the more conservative members of my extended family will be angry and complaining about the world or how much money other people have or whatever.

And I’ll probably be in my usual spot, in the other room with the kids, playing video games or watching dumb funny videos.

Your comment really highlights the shit state of political discourse and general culture in this country.

Discussing actual policies comes across like a leftist circle jerk because the people have decided that “fuck everything and everybody” is a valid political platform.
