back in the day questions like "how much is a gallon of milk" were common at political debates

one of my big political/media awakenings was actually spurred by Mad Magazine as a kid, who had a comic of Bob Hope in a limo with a caption to the effect of: "Advertises motor oil! Hasn't driven a car or worked on one in 40 years"

Today's radiation pollution is just tomorrow's "oh god, we can get so much free energy from this, why were we throwing this away"

Not saying it's justified to poo poo U-235 tailings all over playgrounds, but nuclear trash has the unique property of still having a shitload of energy

survived the nazi occupation of ukraine. then this big loving power plant near her cottage blew up. she still lives there.



72 year old woman that is not afraid of radiation because "it does not bite!"



86 years old and sneaks through a hole in a fence to get the good mushrooms. ducks into a bush when the cops patrol by.



this is the most russian woman in the world. when the power plant blew up, she tried to hide herself and her cow in the basement but got evacuated. she came back.

On the face yeah, but these places are plagued with scheduling issues and people constantly call in b/c they're working 3 jobs with no car and can't make it. they spend stupid amounts on 'going over payroll' and paying harangued managers to stay till 2am working out the schedule, or it's their rear end

don't forget consistency

these places make their brand based around consistent product and consisten turnaround times regardless of time of day or location

that's huge


it will eventually happen

24/7 breakfast items might tip McD's over the edge

I know they do egg mcmuffins and poo poo after midnight but from my casual polling, people are pretty "meh, it's there" about mcd's lunch/dinner items but a lot of people have more of a tooth for the breakfast stuff

I mean, did he think this company was just letting him have free web hosting and instant messaging? OF course they're going to reduce you to stats. this is why i left fb, i had more "I don't want this mined" stuff than "I don't care if this is mined" stuff. i know it's got an extra twist the knife thing due to his child, but i don't really think this is worth impassioned Blog Posts.

I would have probably coded in something that checks the names/users and posts associated with them for keywords like "cancer" or "death" or "hosed my best friend" and then have it leave that person out of the video

what if their year consisted of celebrating the fact that death almost hosed their best friend, but they successfully beat the cancer
