Jesus wasn’t telling the poor destitute to sell everything, he told the wealthy that it was their only way to salvation. A guy with a pair of shoes, a few sets of clothing and a phone is living as bare bones a life style as is possible in any modern society.

You are doing the Fox News bit of complaining that food stamp recipients have cell phones and refrigerators

You aren’t eating lead for his kids. You’re eating lead for your friend.he has everything to lose and you have nothing left

That price is for the pots of basil behind the onions,

Sleeper fatty is what i am gonna start calling my morning wood

NW Ohio and this summer’s baseline was mid 90’s with full humidity, and just more heat thrown on top. Quite a few days in a row over 100, which is fairly unheard of on Lake Erie. My apartment doesn’t have AC, my office doesn’t have AC, and my car doesn’t have AC.

Yeah, every recipe i find online has a “jump to recipe” button that takes you past all the background and information straight to the ingredients and directions.

My friend owes a sketchy dude money, so he’s been asked to “deliver a package” to another sketchy dude 4 hours away. I dont have kids or dependents, so my buddy asks me to help him out. Shit goes side ways and it becomes clear only one of us is gonna make it out alive. He’s got a wife and kids, i just have student loans, so i take the gun and hold off the pissed of dudes while he makes a break for it. I take two hits to my right shoulder before giving them the slip. I know I’m not gonna make it to the hospital, so i make my way to the bench on the river walk nearby so that this can be the last thing i see before i die knowing i did at least one good deed.

That’s what guys mean when they say that.

But Elon said that if i buy a Tesla its value would increase because it will be able to earn you money as an autonomous taxi cab by 2020!

Not sure if you have noticed, but your government has already started the armed combat against the people

I’m looking forward to when a Nigerian prince emails me to let me know about the delicious taste of Wolf cola

She divorced him because he was best friends with Jeffery Epstein. They had DEEP connections

It’s just a terrible subreddit to begin with. The artwork is all shit and uninspiring stuff you would see from a teenager. I’ll be the first to admit i have no artistic ability, but all the posts were just the portfolio of high schoolers

I’m so glad that the US economy is based on moving money around between vast dragon hoards instead of making actually useful stuff that improves everyone’s daily life.

Sorry, but that would require actual R&D and problem solving alongside jargon that your PM didn’t learn in their MBA program.

You were up late last night because your kid was sick, but you still had to be up at 5:30 to take your other kid to day care before driving an hour to work. You get to the office and it looks like your computer had an update last night and so you need to verify your login credentials. You’ve been on about 4 hours of sleep a night for the past week and just want to get on with your day.

People are overworked and exhausted, so stuff like that is bound to work on someone

They are going to pivot all that processing to the next snale oil scheme. Do you think its a coincidence that rhe AI hype came immediately after crypto crashed?

Applesauce is a pretty standard substitute for oils when baking. My mom eould always use it when making brownies.

Yeah, I only have my gmail accounts for logins to various websites. They will only have LLM generated spam emails to train on from this

The oversimplified explanation is he had to appear tough on communism to avoid be criticized domestically amd abroad. He was a staunch anti-communist, worried that the US failing to shore up the South against the North would cause other “developing democracies” (Western friendly war lords and despots) to question American guarantees and look the the Soviet Union as a sponsor instead. The goal was to help South Vietnam reach a point where they could deal with the Viet Cong without much US assistance. But that was essentially an impossible task as every action to eliminate opposition further delegitamized the government in Saigon.

Morally it was absolutely the wrong play, and politically i would say it hindered his domestic ambitions as Vietnam quickly spiraled out of control under his administration. He was put between a rock and a hard place and had to answer for Truman and Eisenhower’s failed choice to support the French reoccupation of Indochina after WW2. The US had committed to the path in 1954 and LBJ’s memoirs indicate that, while he resented having to escalate in Vietnam, his ideology offered him no other choice. I don’t think that absolves him of the ocean of blood on his hands, but I am sympathetic to the impossible choice.

He didn’t start the war in Vietnam, he just ramped it up way more than Kennedy did. The US would have been a much better country if Johnson had focused on his great society platform instead of Vietnam.
