Cyberpunks became well dressed because manufacturers realized it was a way to sell people things, probably around the time The Matrix came out. If the aesthetic is old, grungy clothes, there isn't much money to be made. But if popular

I live in a relatively affluent (upper-middle class) area away from any urban center. It's not poor people that are smoking more pot, sorry for the bad news.

It's almost like there needs to be something between locking them up against their will, and just ignoring them entirely. Weird.

I can go weeks without smelling cigarettes or seeing someone smoking a cigarette. But every fucking day marijuana. Every public park; marijuana. Sports events; marijuana. Just sitting in traffic; marijuana. Waiting in fucking line at my kid

I would like to plug for npr. If you listen to them, set up recurring donations to your local affiliate. They really do need your support. Local stations are at risk.

I have fiber, as do the 9 counties around mine because of rural broadband investment. My sister moved to downstate Illinois, and most rural counties offer high speed Internet if not straight up fiber now. Go to flyover States to see the imp

It's super common where I live for teenagers who drive jacked up trucks to replace their headlights with super bright led lights. They don't adjust the angle of the beam, so they're just like brights all the time. It's m

You are exactly right. I don't care if it's all blocks and squares. As long as I can not lag and see enough to destroy my children at the game.

Use aluminum powder instead. Is less messy and easier to set off. And it's more fun because it's more of a pop than a push.

Trump's platform was primarily hurting those people that need to be hurt. Hurt the people that are ruining the country. Hurt the others because they're making our life worse. Improvement to the economy was always secondary. Please

I didn't read that at all. It reads as a statement of fact, not a values judgement.

I have no opinion on ivermectin. I don't think it's a miracle cure, but I also have no idea about the actual research in that space. But. My assistant at my last job was all in on it during COVID. It cures everything, according to

Correct. That's what courts are for, like I said.

>One would expect companies to be judged based on following the spirit of the law, rather than nitpicking and allowing wide holes like this. The letter of the law is what people follow. The spirit, or intent, of the law is what they argu

He was isolated from the real world starting at around age, what, 22? I'm all for calling out his random flailing in this space for what it is, but it always strikes me as strange when people are surprised that he's weird and robo

I literally didn't say any of that. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm saying they're all old. Their incentives are wildly different than mine because they're older than I am.

Old. They're old. Gerontocracy means old people. Dems, republicans, both are old. The average age for republicans and democrats in the house is 57 or so. The average in the senate is 62(r) and 65(d). While 57 isn't ancient, it&#x2

My dad just went through lymphoma treatment using R-CHOP in 2024. It really is like a miracle. He felt like shit for a day after treatment (actually he felt like shit for one entire day, three days after treatment because he was pumped so f

And I don't think anyone understands how deeply the destruction runs, even if he is stopped today. Take his budget proposal for example. It explicitly called for the complete de-funding of TRIO programs. I have worked with multiple TRI

All this trump nonsense aside - It's hilarious to me that we even have the cultural understanding of a sports riot, and it's assumed that it's just not that bad. Just people having a good time, burning up a car and smashing b

Maybe there's a balance between not doing anything about the problems in the VA and ignorantly breaking in in 48 hours?

I have always wanted to set up an old timey whisky still in my woods on the creek. I have no idea how to make a still. Any way you could point me toward a reliable source for how to build and operate one? I don't trust the results from

High end wheelchairs are the opposite of repairable. A friend of mine has to use one because of his disability. It was the only model that met his particular needs for his disability, and was around 14k when he bought it. He can't even

I'm genuinely confused on what you would be using a (an?) llm for that requires that level of anonymity. And before anyone says it, yes I understand and no I don't want all of my private searches out in the world because it would

So what happens when you retire and have no replacement because you didn't invest in entry level humans? This feels like the ultimate pulling up the ladder after you type of move.

We really have tried to destroy ourselves over the years. There's a Superfund site about 10 miles from my house. Luckily it's close to the headwaters for a major source of our drinking water. Cancer rates here are really high. Sur
