I'm not exactly saying lol that big dick trucks are far and away the most dangerous vehicle the USA drives but

wait yeah honestly I kinda am. They're presented as the safe family vehicle but in reality, the Ford f-series trucks are the most deadly vehicle in the US, even on the receiving end of a crash and factoring in their popularity, your big truck will kill you. The number two is unshockingly the Chevy Silverado. Lmfao that huge deathmobiles are the best-selling vehicles in the USA.

Forever reminder that the famous Nazi book burnings were of the library of the Berlin Institute of Sexology. The terrifying book burnings were of exactly the literature these people want burned, of the library of what was the greatest queer and trans institute of the time.

I'm not bright enough to know for sure but DEW to me means Directed Energy Weapon. So you know, lasers, microwaves, the Havana Sydrome blast that Brandon himself is about to send to all the true patriots. That sort of thing.

No idea why Moses is the person behind it all, and Passover in 24 is in late April so really God help us all

Nah, Hacker News is just kinda Like That. It's like an even more libertarian/Techbro Reddit.

"Eat lead. Not as a self-harm euphemism, eat literal lead." is really not what I usually associate with tech bros

I'm sure when they ran the experiment the other direction they found that if you give a boy a Barbie toy, he's gonna want to know everything there is to know about Barbie, and he'll try to think and talk like Barbie when he plays with the toy.

The future liberals want.

I played with Barbie and learned Warhammer and outdoorsy poo poo from my dad. Maybe marketing and parental preference affect little girls’ play preferences? Couldn’t be, they are famously immune to those influences.

Aren’t Harley bikes less desirable among the youths because they suck? They are overpriced on features, performance, and safety compared to a bike from a scary foreign make. And they come with the culture.

There are no creepy MAGA dads in branded jackets riding an efficient, modern Kawasaki.

The person who cooked the pizza, wings, and, noodles needs to stop crying about fair wages though. Boo hoo you are on hour 9 of a double when I place my order, you would be on the streets without me! gently caress a tip.

I love that the sole National Socialist German Workers Party-Demonrats difference is that Joe Biden has it out for the whites.

I think I will go sign away my lease, and renounce my US citizenship today. Then cross the Rio Grande, then recross it without a passport or any documentation. That is how you get ahead. Thanks, Obama.

That's always the complaint. The kid can pray silently whenever, it's literally impossible to prevent that since if you're doing it the way God said to no one can even know you're praying

And they can also pray out loud if they really want to, between classes, at lunch, before or after school, whenever it isn't disturbing other kids' learning.

They just can't force everyone else to observe their religious practices anymore.

The greatest part is in my day, the loving late 00s to early teens, we had the mandatory non-denominational moment of silence which the teacher would lead and end with an “in Jesus name I pray, amen.”

“Oh and other kids you can substitute Jesus for your guy.”

No prayer in schools my rear end.

I get annoyed at people who say stuff like “I can feed my family for a week on this simple split pea soup recipe, a mere .25 per meal.”

I’m sure it’s good. But people eat junk because food is a huge dopamine hit, and junk food is on top of that engineered to max it out. When you’re poor, McD’s fills a hole you need filled anyway, while triggering everything all your pleasure sensors ask for, and requiring no effort. Even more so when you have kids. A happy meal is 10000000x more tasty than day 3 of Stew when you are nine years old.

I love cooking and don’t find it a pain to make a big recipe after work. But that’s the thing, it is my cool down. I don’t blame anyone who does not want to.

I heard the various food subscription boxes are targeted at super helpless tech bro types. “I make six figures but live out of my car most days”, that type.

The whining about kids these days, demanding their new phone etc, is especially annoying because getting a loving job basically requires a phone and WiFi today. You don’t get to pound the pavement with gumption, handing out copies of your resume. A decade ago when I got my first crappy waitress job they were already telling applicants to go home and apply on the website. Then wait for a call from the hiring manager. For the pleasure of getting three dollars per hour to get groped by and grovel at the feet of the people posting “kids these days do not understand hard work.” to maybe get a decent tip.

It's not just kids. I'm pretty old and have gotten phased out of my career by technology. Looking for a job is a loving nightmare. All this poo poo just to apply and, god forbid you put "MS Office" instead of "MicroSoft Office" or whatever and left out a space or some poo poo. You also get a lot of really shady spam calls and emails that 75% of the time are some sort of MLM bullshit and wind up on a lot of lovely call lists, to the point that I got a burner phone.

It loving sucks. But "don't nobody wanna work no more".

...

This is not an email, but I saw a bumper sticker today that read "I never knew a veteran who fought for socialism" I almost drove off the road. Also resisted the temptation to do a window roll down at the next red light and have a short chat.

Of ALL the very few things in this country that a person could even remotely consider socialist, the loving military of all things has to be at the very top of the list. No? Yes, I know that these morons don't know what socialism is but god drat. Not to mention the countries who made up the Allies during WW2.

That one is a classic because, preaching to the choir I’m sure, I know a fair few combat veterans. They all say they signed up for college money and health insurance.

The bacon thing continues to flabbergast me because my understanding is the dietary restriction is so loose that believers are encouraged to break the restriction if they are served non-Halal foods at a dinner invitation, so as to not be rude. You’d rather need to make up for it later yourself, than refuse hospitality!

Idk the exact rules of Halal but Kashrut is very much not something you risk yourself for. The assholes will fantasize about pig fat coated bullets, wiping their rear end with Koran pages, and so on. To own the terrorists. From what I understand Islam is like Judaism where if someone puts a gun to your head, then demands you eat the bacon-wrapped shrimp while renouncing God, you do it. He will know your heart.

Sometimes I doubt belligerent racist evangelical types actually believe in their professed faith at all.

Edit: gently caress beaten hard. But it’s crazy to me how we managed to be nice when only using Torah God. Meanwhile Jesus is the new wave pacifist hippy who somehow became the patron of the bigot and the sword. There are plenty of real good Christians out there too of course, being Christlike. We sadly don’t get to hear about them when they are drowned out by assholes.
