    Also....and let's not underestimate how big a factor this is....he's apparently dumber than a box of rocks.

    Fat, racist, and dumber than aggy is no way to go through life

    It is you insensitive prick, it has Gluten!  

    This fucking guy.  His life is going downhill so fast and he doesn't realize how emblematic of the movement he is associated with fails to actually help their own kind.  From insurrection to Kyle to election slanderers.  They don't fucking get it.  They are useful soundbites to raise money for every person who is not them.  They are beneath pawns.  Kyle is going to live for another 70 years probably, likely develop a drug addiction, be ostracized from society, be an incel, and likely attempt suicide.  All because they told him he'd be exalted and handsomely paid.  And when the cruel fate of time crushes upon his doughy head...he will finally see the errors of his ways.  But it'll be too late.  

    Useful idiots don't know what they are. They wouldn't be either if they did.

    Daughter just texted and said UT is shuttering their DEI program effective immediately.

    What is your preferred economic system for a society? Almost every single one of your posts has an anti-Capitalist flavor. 

    Mfw wanting business entities to favor long term outcomes over short term gain is """anti-Capitalist""". Boeings problems are entirely of their own making, and are an artifact of the predominant business culture run rampant and unchecked.

    You can be a capitalist and still believe in making a good product instead ripping off your customers for the fattest margins.

    We probably need to rethink what the concept of media is, in general. The media as a concept of true information is dead. It's all just televised or digital entertainment. 

    Well formerly trusted sources (read: MSM) stopped being about informing the public a long time ago and became another entity that exists SOLELY to generate a profit for its shareholders.

    But, people believe Trump anyway, and the media mostly just sits on its hands.

    In our modern media landscape, truth can always be defeated by a firehose of falsehoods. And by golly, that's trump's signature move

    Our rain water collection system has microplastics too - it’s found everywhere even rain samples at the highest elevations on the planet. It’s horseshit. May add an RO system but then it doesn’t really matter - everything we eat has plastics. So fucked.

    Don't forget PFAS/PFOS, which the 5th reich circuit appeals court recently ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't have the authority to regulate it's release into the environment.

    What are y’all complaint about?  They’ve been doing political cold openings for 40 years and now you’re getting sensitive?  The Alec Baldwin as Trump schtick got real old in a hurry.  

    It makes them sad so they want to ignore it, nevermind that trump is actively grabbing our justice system by the pussy and funding it with bibles sales

    Solid flick. Would not pay full theater prices to see again tho.  The ahole on my row who decided to take his socks and shoes off may have had something to do with that.

    I was really hoping for some Lawrence of Arabia type shots in there, but alas, I those days are behind us.

    You could just about watch Dune 1 and 2 in the runtime of Lawrence of Arabia

    What's crazy to me about all these fucked up cybertruck deliveries is that we have "Lemon Laws" on the books that should give the owners some recourse, but the cult of personality for elmo and TSLA is too stronk

    Figured there was a Surly thread on this subject. I finally ordered the AYN Odin 2 Pro after researching all week. Didn’t realize how far along this type of tech had come besides a vague understanding of the Steam Deck. Looking forward to my attempts at emulating some of my favorite PS2/PSP games and getting the NCAA Next 06 mod to work, then seeing what else I can do from there. Also will be nice for Xbox remote play.

    Looks like it's android based? Probably a pretty nice emulator and game streaming box, but at that price point you could instead get a Steam deck and have access to the same emulators AND run x86 games natively

    Worse, the bold proposal that social media is to blame might distract us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.

    This is why it's so popular for the surly IDW folks. It's a reason to tell everyone to shut up and stop complaining

    Wonder if that would be grounds for their insurance to deny coverage?  Company fucked either way probably 

    Lol it's insurances job to find a reason to deny coverage. They'll find their reason. The company is absolutely fucked though
