Got the slow cooker rolling. Thanks for the reminder, pope.

Hey man, I’ve gotten with some bartenders. That doesn’t make me a dirty Vance fan. For shame!

This answer makes sense to me because of how a gyroscope acts. Thanks.

I never leave home without it. I don’t know how the rest of you manage.

Yea, I’ve thought about what I’d do to my neighbor, but we have power for now so I won’t. Power better not go out though.

I’m shocked! Next you’ll tell me it’s against minorities or something.

This guy fucks

Thank you for the new nightmare

I’m with you guys. Model railroading rules.

Sure, we were just finishing FDR’s presidency, where pro worker policies and the war effort helped simulate an economy back to strength. Tax on the wealthy rose to 94% by 1944, allowing a couple solid decades of lower/middle class growth.

Then, in the 70’s until now, all of that has steadily come undone as the majority of Americans now struggle to get by. The ultra wealthy scoot on by, paying 15% (if that) and because most of the country struggles to earn a decent wage, taxes aren’t paying for upkeep of our infrastructures and our schools are funded less and less.

I don’t count this as an enlightened time. I view us living in modern dark ages of feudal lords (ultra rich) and the rest of us serfs.

Agreed.

I guess it depends on the lense. Accepting various sexually? Sure. Our politics and the general state of things? I wouldn’t describe us that way.

Not sure I’d really call this an “enlightened time.”

Real class act, Vance. This is who I want representing all of us. Seems perfectly fit to be 1 heart beat away from president.

Another good decision by Intel execs. /s

I see some of that rhetoric and I think it’s mostly the younger folks. The virility of youth combined with the challenges they are faced with leave everyone more on edge. There are other factors of course, lack of wisdom, Internet anonymity, etc

I don’t think violence is a useful tool when fighting against hate groups. It’s what they want. Then they have a claim that they are oppressed. You let them make the first move.

That being said, I’m ready to fight back against them at a moment’s notice and will use all means. I see the luxuries most of us enjoy (food, electricity, clean water) and hope it never comes to that for all our sake. Our just-in-time economy depends on stability and COVID showed us how easily it can all get fucked up. Out of control violence is one of those ways.

See? AI creates jobs! Granted, it’s specialized mop up situations, but jobs!

It’ll be even more interesting in the future! Every now and then a T1000 will lose all hydraulic fluids right out it’s prosthetic anus and they’ll need someone there with a mop and bucket! Our economy lives on…

Interesting, thank you!

Yup, today I have learned what not to make satire about, but you’re correct.

Huh. I guess it wasn’t a documentary or a reputable source that I heard that from. Apparently it never happened and it was of those things I learned which never got properly debunked. It was a long time ago and there was a LOT of misinformation during and right after about 9/11.

Thanks for updating me on that.
