It’s tacos and energy drinks.

• Central California

ColdFusion

I was there, 3,000 years ago

That is a problem, but not an intractable one. The first easy win would be to just stop wasting so much water. CA could be a lot more careful with water than it is by just leaning on industry and ag to cut wasteful water use harder than it leans on the suburbs. Don’t get me wrong, green lawns in our Mediterranean climate are a stupid waste too, but it pencils out to less than a percent of all water use, where ag and industry are both in the double digits.

• Never cut spending

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Wow, that’s a lot of debt”

• Cut taxes on businesses

“Wow, we’re really broke”

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Golly, this is a serious problem!”

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Nobody really knows why we’re in so much debt or how to deal with it, but it’s probably the fault of poor people. Guess we better cut taxes for the rich more lmao”

Can you share what exactly your concerns are so that folks could suggest a mitigation strategy?

It depends; if it’s a game only I like, well, I bumblefuck my way through Baldur’s Gate an hour at a time after the kids go to bed, when I’m not shit posting or attacking a side project or stargazing. If the rest of the family likes it, my job for the rest of the day is to sit the fuck down and play the game or else.

Remember when Gemini said that you should eat at least one small rock per day?

Talking a whole lot of shit for someone riding around in a machine that will find literally any excuse to break down. Helicopters are sketchy as fuck, and even if you manage to autorotate perfectly to try and recover from a stall, you’re still liable to suffer severe or fatal injuries. It’s super easy to crash due to human error or some kind of mechanical failure.

Bruh wow

Yeah, the LA “riots” where super tame by riot AND LA standards. Like, they didn’t even have to bust out the water cannons. A skateboarder tanked some tear gas and flipped them off. It’s not like a bunch of people stormed the capitol building or something. This is the flimsiest excuse ever for martial law, so I have to assume it’s another step towards tyranny.

cia.world gave me a giggle

Yes, actually. I probably could have stepped up to be an admin, but tbh, my plate is already overfull.

I think the thing I haven’t quite sussed out is… Well, let’s take Wal-Mart and Dollar General. Wal-mart and DG both have this weird niche of being both major employers for rural areas, as well as depending on nearly their employee base as customers. If they automate all their jobs away, who do they think they’re going to be selling to? My guess so far is that all these MBAs think that certainly their customer base won’t run out of cash by having their jobs automated away.

FUCK. Wishing you guys all the best!

So, we all know what’s going on here, right? They’re gutting any part of our society that relies on intellectual work and trying to compete with motherfucking robots to bring factories back. They want to cram everyone into sweatshops. The plan was never to bring good jobs back, the plan was always live-in factories and suicide nets on the windows.

E: well, at least the Roman space telescope lives on, I guess. I’m unreasonably excited for it; it’s already built and just needs to be launched, basically.

God, I remember when this happened. McCain slid a land swap into a defense funding bill as a giveaway for this mining company. The tribe wasn’t consulted, ofc, McCain decided unilaterally that the tribe should just have this land over here instead of that land because my rich friends really want that land. In a just world, it would have been the scandal of scandals, and it would have immediately been struck down. But here we are, everything’s a fucking scam, you’ve got rights as long as they don’t get in the way of someone’s profit.

Good luck calling them already. A lot of services make it flat out impossible to talk to a human.

We think it’s probably PCOS, but the death panel insurance won’t pay for the test, so we’re treating empirically. It improved some of her symptoms, but not that one, and I’m cool with it. I’ve accepted that this is our relationship.
