Barabas [he/him]

Wasn’t solely because of who his dad was. If his dad was just a regular rich dude with political connections, maybe. If he was one of the thousands of black men currently incarcerated under the law that Biden championed himself, hell no.

Really, he should have just taught his son to do powdered cocaine instead, since that is a rich person drug and thus has a much lower penalty.

Stainless steel or cast iron in general. Let go of your nonsticks.

As the old guard gets replaced, the hope is that we bring in more and more liberal people over time.

We just today had the poster child of the “new guard” of the democrats coming out and talking about how great it is that nothing happens now. While we are one year into a genocide. While we are further building the wall and enforcing all the border policies that she went down to the border to have a photo op crying at.

Do you think AOC will save anyone? She’ll just go back to brunch while the world burns.

Voting third party is ineffective no matter how you look at it, at least not in the Presidential election.

If you can’t see further than a single election cycle ahead I guess. Consistently voting for the “lesser evil” will only make the “lesser evil” more evil. If there is a voting bloc that is strong enough to apparently scupper the democrats maybe they should try to appeal to them in any way rather than court the people voting for the “greater evil”?

Reads like a communist shitpost. I can understand the urge to scream into the void but the UN probably isn’t the best forum.

I think that the joke is that European honey bees are used as a universal pollinator in half-assed greenwashing schemes this outcompeting native pollinators. Conservationists want to save all the other pollinators.

Donde esta la discoteca? If you had a ‘cool’ teacher.

Cement is kind of a big pile of rocks if you think about it. And yes, that is Treriksröset.

I used to be bored at work as I had too much downtime, so I decided to just accept more duties. Was nice to be able to solve problems learn new things and it made the time go faster. But you just keep getting more and more work and responsibilities heaped on you for doing a good job, and absolutely nobody notices it until you start falling apart. Then all of a sudden people you’ve never heard of are ‘concerned’ about you. At this point I am burnt out and do even less work than when I was bored, but the difference is that it also drains me.

The lesson is to never try to work at or around full capacity. Don’t fall into the trap of being bored and deciding to take on more work.

This is a thread of big lies that people believe.

Colonialism was a civilising mission.

Neoliberalism has also broken people’s brains to believe that nothing better is possible and anyone promising something other than managed decline or being vindictive against an outgroup is a charlatan.

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

Had someone break a front window of my work vehicle to steal the instruction manual. Have no idea why they didn’t just smash the back windows and go for the tools instead.

Wasn’t too much of an issue other than cleaning up the glass as it was going into the body shop anyways, but it was confusing. Another confusing thing is that there was a Bugatti in the same parking lot, and they went for the banged up work vehicle instead.

Yes, that too. He also was one of the most prominent slave traders of the time and put down the Spartacus revolt.

Trying to find the silver lining here.

Crassus invented the fire brigade and his head became a stage prop for the Parthians.

Farm labourers. There is a reason that such a large percentage of them are trafficked.

while they polish their own ego by going to work instead of watching and caring for their own kids

Retirement savings connected to the stockk market. Gives a perverse incentive for everyone to continue the wealth transfer upwards, since the stock market is largely based on the vibes of a handful of very rich people.
