I am so confused by all this. It makes me feel old.
Funko is essentialy just plastic, shitty Beanie Babies, right? They do nothing original, from what I can tell.
Friendly reminder that killing CEOs isn't the only answer. Sometimes it's throwing tea in a harbor. Or tarring and feathering a tax collector.
Just do your part.
They're just anxious to get back to the real problem, domesticated squirrels.
Wonder if he was doing something genuinely good with his day or if he was on his way to a presentation with investors where they can gameplan new ways to capitalize on human suffering.
Shame, we'll never know.
There used to be a way you could download all of the Wikipedia text as a PDF. I'd pop that bad boy on a Kindle and have my own Hitchhiker's Guide.
While we're at it, let's go back to 10nm chips too. That's Intel's bread and butter. Phones get bigger every year. Why not transistors too?
This is how I feel as well.
The Democratic party has stood by at best and enabled at most. Are they better than Republicans? Yes, in that they don't actively do some things they allow Republicans to do.
A friend of mine described it as a dad (Republicans) molesting his kids. Mom (Democrats) know it's happening, but can't bring herself to do anything about it. Is mom better than dad? Technically yes?
Anyone advocating for working inside the system to change the system is hoping the person enabling your absuser finds a conscience. It won't happen.
Go no contact. Vote third party. Vote independent.
Sort of. The pointed hatred of trans people is a symptom of a larger disease.
There is just a large portion of the population who responds with fear and anger towards things they don't understand. They're irritatingly tribal.
If they don't understand it, they want no part of it. They don't want to shit in a room with someone who is trans, gay, Muslim, Hispanic, anything different from what they are.
They don't want to shit with them, eat with them, work with them. Nothing. Not because they are trans, but because they are different. This is why trans rights are human rights. Because the special things that make everyone different drive some people toward hatred, and that's awful.
This just in. Psychopath trying to control reality wants to control the imagination as well.
From knowing a little about recruiting, if you have a bachelor's degree and apply, they're willing to drop one of their employees who barely finished high school.
It's not worth it to replace an underperformer with someone else who'll likely underperform. But if you can start with someone you deem "better" because they have a slightly more expensive piece of paper, it's more worth the risk.
Fingolfin is about to get a fitbit for Christmas with a cryptic note about how it'll come in handy.
Because it's self serving.
If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.
What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn't want to be held accountable.
My wife loves Wacoal bras. A couple years ago, she finally found one of their bras in a pretty blue, instead of the normal beige.
They called the color "goblin blue" which of course made her feel great.
Unfortunately for veterans, they aren't risking their lives for their country. They're risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn't care less about them.
What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

Do what the founding fathers did.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Now I'm on a watch list.
My wife is a teacher, so we use her healthcare, but I still peek in at the healthcare at my job when enrollment comes along, just to be diligent.
It went up 20% this year, from $600 to $720. If you make $30K a year and got a 3% cost of living adjustment, you make less this year than last year from healthcare alone.
Food, gas, rent, cars, childcare, utilities, everything is up. I guess it's cool that US steel or something might be doing well, and the stock market is up, but that minimally affects the day to day of most people.
My guy, Biden blocked a railroad workers strike because it endangered corporate interests, and he didn't give them a key piece they were asking for: paid sick leave.
