  1. Man, sorry buddy to hear this. How long is chemo? When can you get back on Remicade?
  2. I tried to answer to the best of my beliefs and got 62. Many were as the title suggests, absurd trolley problems.
  3. I still have a couple grand in voyager. I'm guessing I'm at the end of the line to get paid back after restructuring.
  4. Just left the doctor office where I'm being told I need to take a transfusion of blood called IVIG for a suspected autoimmune condition. A little scared of this process, to be honest. Trying not to go to Dr. Google because I will be convinced of all the horrible things.
  5. Thought this was going to be about the admission that China can and does access American user data from TikTok (Bytedance).
  6. Leo Best: Djano Unchained Worst: Titantic
  7. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to equate the two here. I'm just very acutely aware now that things in the past we said were theatre and not gonna happen, and then they actually happened, puts my sensors on alert. And to be clear, I could not care less about the 2nd amendment and guns. Take 'em for all I care.
  8. With all due respect, if the Roe vs Wade decision from two weeks ago doesn't open the door to everything being on the table to being taken at some point, then what does?
  9. Agreed. I was hooked by the vid but stayed for the thread and it was worth it.
  10. His dad is a prominent member and his kid has these face tattoos and psychopathy? His dad probably wasn't much a dad or the mental illness is real there.
  11. You guys mean the same Spain whose soccer team that engages in overt racism in modern times like still throws bananas at African teams and does the “slit eyed” with their fingers pose when playing Asian teams is going to discriminate against American minorities too? Well I’m shocked.
  12. Hate to agree with brisket here, but he seems to nail it as far as I’ve read. More will come out of this 100% though as I think there is a lot to discover yet…
  13. Regardless, you’ll never be right when your argument is essentially “come on guys, have a stiff upper lip and keep calm and ration down by packing a lunch and not driving as much and out your thermostat on 73 instead of 72, and let’s not complain about the larger, broken fundamentals. It’s not good decorum and you need to fall back in line like a good soldier.” Maybe that’s a good argument for this site where yous people are all pretty wealthy and older, which I think is a point you’ve made, but I was speaking more broadly about the rest of us who struggle to make ends meet (yes even in Texas- not somewhere posh like nyc or cali) and your advice comes off as insulting.

  15. There is some irony somewhere in the "education is poor" and "misspelling in the youtube title" cross-section. But I'm a dumb pub-educated rube so I'll need one of you trust fund private school kids to point it out for me.
  16. I've never once wanted to go to Aldi's but now my interest is piqued.
  17. The last time I pissed in public was in Denver and it scared me straight. Was walking back from a bar and had to pee, veer from the sidewalk into a first level parking garage, had a cop stop me and claim he could legally arrest me and have me register as a sex offender for doing this. He gave me a warning and I've never openly peed in public outside of a sanctioned restroom again because I don't know if he was being honest or not, but nothing is worth being labeled a sex offender.
  18. lots to poke fun of about crypto and crypto bros and web3 use cases being stupid, but crypto being full anon or whatever seems like something someone would believe who didn't know much about it. Or someone who thinks it's only use case is dark web and the funding and profiting of illegal activities.
  19. That's fantastic news actually. If anyone feels sheepish it should be the fake news people sending out sham data and fear-mongering in historically accurate and non-partisan mediums (it was an AP article).
  20. This. But my wife feels better with the $50/month spent, so be it.
  21. I don't think you took his point. It's like in Idiocracy when the people who should be breeding don't but the Cletus's of the world continue to. The world will still be populated and growing but with the wrong stock of humankind.
  22. You clearly get it and not preaching to the choir, it's more about those in the gray zone who are amorphous. But then I guess the argument against appealing to that voter is that what got us Biden versus a more progressive nominee. I don't know the answers or I'd be in D.C. along with yous guys with all the answers. What isn't the answer is mealy-mouthed incrementalism crap and losing visible and risible political battles.
  23. Okay. I hope so. But if not, then what? Weren't you the one who was saying shut up about gas prices and just drive less or move closer to your job, as if that was possible for everyone?
  24. Just saw this stat: The hottest new trend sweeping the country? Registering as a Republican. More than 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the GOP in the last year, compared to just 630,000 who switched over to the Democrats’ side, according to an AP analysis. Extra worrying for Dems is that many defectors to the GOP hail from suburban counties that had shifted blue in recent elections. This was before the Roe vs. Wade fiasco which the AP states could help reverse things, but my goodness, is there more of a referendum against the tone-deaf "just drive less" and "just pack a lunch" in the face of real problems for everyone not in the top 1% stratosphere of net wealth? We are dying out here and need some help, on all fronts. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-biden-covid-health-presidential-e50db07385831e67f866ec45402be8b9?
