I know this is meant to target assholes and not us in this context but my first gut reaction to this was “well duh yeah you will.” I may or may not be grappling with aging… and with my bad decisions that my kidneys did not sign up for 😂

Treat yourselves with love and respect folks. Even if others don’t.

Like it or not - and I know many people do not - continuing to use twitter means playing by muskrat’s rules, and currently those rules are some version of “get in line or get fucked.” It’s not a platform of free speech, because regressives use “freeze peech” as code for “what I say deserves to be right and what you say deserves nothing.”

Twitter (no I’m not calling it X, it’s not a person, etc etc) is not worth fighting for anymore than Tesla is. They’re lost causes being associated with muskrat. And unlike people who bought teslas 7 years ago before it became necessary to google if the CEO of the brand you’re about to buy from is a fucking fascist, the people who have been using twitter for ages don’t have to pay exorbitant new-car-cost dollars to get a new social media platform. If their audiences aren’t regressive, they need to be moving right along with them to new platforms that are less fascist-owned in nature.

As an American, I avoid US beef as well. Hope our meat industry crashes, tbh. It’s crazy expensive and yet it’s disappointing.

They’re dropping the facade now that trump has gained power. They’ve always been petulant, greedy little children who will burn anyone or anything for power.

The title is solid clickbait (it’s not actually 100% car-free, duh) but I can forgive it considering the reality of living in Tokyo. I have a couple friends that have been there for a while, and while they haven’t kicked the US car-brain sickness completely they’ve had to admit it’s easier to go most places without one.

Reminder to anyone who bought a Tesla years ago before musk publicly admitted he’s nazi. If you have free data or supercharging on the old cars, use it as much as you can. You’re costing Tesla money just by existing and using their services. Do with that what you will.

Dysphoria doesn’t feel like dysphoria if you’ve expierenced it your entire life. Instead it just feels normal.

Where do I buy this on a shirt.

You have no idea how much I sympathize with this. It is so hard to convince myself that any of this is real some days, on top of all the other problems that forcing myself to realize “I have a body” in geneal causes

Descending is my fave so far

In what sequence is this best read?

Clockwise - top bottom down low

Counterclockwise - low down bottom top

Descending - low top down bottom

Ascending - bottom down top low

L->R - down low bottom top

R->L - top bottom low down

Or other?

Cybertruck is like the hummer. Point and laugh is really the kind thing to do, because it deserves so much worse 😆

I’m not going to tell you not to shame us (yes, I still own a model 3) but be careful about who you take a shit on. We want to shame the rich first, not force people into worse situations.

I’m glad that everyone you know had the financial flexibility and independence to freely change vehicles. However, for many people (myself included) switching from an 18k USD Tesla to something else will involve loans, increased insurance, and other costs that are not financially feasible.

My eventual goal is to get out of my Tesla (edit - and I strongly encourage others to do the same), but it’s not going to happen overnight and that doesn’t make me less valid as a progressive. In fact, if I’m keeping this 6-year-old rolling bucket of bolts out of a scrapyard, I say that’s the best possible action.

Sorry in advance for being captain obvious, but I feel like I can’t get over this. Your comment is *valuable and I completely agree with your take here, but then the elephant in the room is: how do the people with power actually choose to use these tools? It’s not like I can effect change on healthcare AI use on my own.

So yes, it really can be first pass, good sanity check type of tool. It could help a good doctor if it was employed in a sane and useful way. And if the people with power over the system choose to use that way, I believe it would be a genuine benefit to a majority of humanity, worth the cost of its creation and maintenance.

Or, it could be used to second guess the doctors, cram more cases through without paying them fairly, or “justify” not having enough qualified experts to match our collective need.

Just framing how it is used a little bit differently suddenly takes us from genuine benefit to humanity, into profit-seeking for the 1% and lower quality of life for the remainder of us. That is by far my largest concern with this. I suppose that’s my largest concern with a lot of things right now.

Yer a waste wizard, Harry!

Thanks for mentioning, I didn’t know about this. Just subbed!

Aww, now I miss this. Our last local paper that printed comics when I was a kid reran bloom county comics after they ended but they stopped when I was maybe 15 or 16.

I’m on board with wastefighters, somehow it gives me similar vibes to Ghostbusters lol!

Support your local co-ops! Glad to see they were able to step in and help.

Target c-suite can generally go eat a urinal cake. Not that I ever really shopped there anyway but after they caved to bigots they went up there with freddies/kroger and amazon on my shit list.

Also sorry for the rant in advance: I wish small grocers were more fairly prioritized in general. Here in Portland we do have a few and I’m lucky enough to be kind of near one, but some areas are completely out of luck. Even the ones we do have tend to cut a fine line on prices due to how crazy jacked up properly values and rents are. Trash single fam and large business zoning rules are really blocking a lot of progress.

Remember folks, use protection no matter your NEMA plug and/or receptacle type! Proper generator/grid interconnect lockouts can avoid backfeeding your current to the grid and hurting line workers during an emergency. Never use spicy hellplug even if it wants you to…

Garbageman is also narrow/outdated imo. Municipal worker is more accurate (but can we still have municipalfighter?)
