They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.

It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.

He’s active on right-wing hate subs, so he’s banned from the remaining civilized subs.

That’s using the budget they have now.

The new budget going through right now increases their budget to an absurd degree. ICE is about to have a larger budget than any other country’s entire military and defense budget.

They’re 100% militarizing the gestapo.

RICO stands for “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations”

That’s the first item on the list.

I have health insurance in the US and still have to pay a fuckton in copays to use it.

In early May, I searched GPs on my Healthcare plan, and I get to see a doctor on Jully 11.

That’s just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn’t a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn’t room for a third player.

The regional term that pegs me to where I grew up is calling access roads “feeders.”

They can be awful on multiple fronts.

Everyone talking about how it’s because of Windows 11 or their greed driving people away, etc. But they’re ignoring the big one:

People don’t need as many computers these days. You don’t have a lot of households with a laptop for every member of the family because smartphones and tablets have replaced the PC for many people for media consumption and basic tasks.

Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn’t as practical as setting up a mesh network that’s good-enough.

It’s a bad band for cellular. It’s short-range and shit at penetration.

It’s really not even that good for wifi unless you’re close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.

Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.”

Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…I am Pagliacci.”

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum.

Curtains.

I just hate how they keep referring to “Who, me?”

The name of that column makes reading the article infuriating.

Are the instructions in a basement lavatory marked “beware of the leopard”?

I don’t see what the big deal is.

I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.

The rich can do it without civil or criminal consequence?

Wealth includes assets. If you can borrow against it, it can be taxed.

In fact, taxing the assets makes borrowing against them even more expensive.

Also, don’t use their website.

And you can turn off some of the survival elements that some people find annoying. For instance, having to spend half your time early on hunting a specific type of fish for freshwater.
