Things like this are causing real dissonance for me. We’ve got people doing amazing, important, next-level development - alongside our Idiocracy slide. If it was just doom on the horizon, I feel like things would be simpler to process. I guess that kind of thinking gives rise to accelerationism.
So sell it? Plenty of musk fanboys will buy and selling used will reduce his income. Unless there are some non-transferable nonsenses that discourage private transfer?
But she does work? In truth there are two classes: working class and owner class. Doctors, actors, pipe fitters, bus drivers, etc are workers. They are paid for what they do (and who they are). Landlords, investors, etc are owners. They get paid for what they have. Maybe she doesn’t have to work and is out of touch, but I have more in common with her than I do with Peter Thiel
It can be read as someone was very vehemently “protesting too much” in marking “no”. I’d just do a casual scribble, since I’m only a little bit racist
Man, if he’d form a populist left party and stop caucusing with the Dems, he might get a lot of enthusiastic support and candidates running locally soon
I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they’d rather lose than bring in progressives. So it’d have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time
We tried in Oregon. The real problem is that both Democrat establishment and Republican establishment hate RCV because it diminishes their power. It may be time for progressives to separate from Dems a bit more at local and state levels. Look at Osborn in NE
I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10 Edit: I’m definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!
Can always rent an electric 3/4" snake from a box store for under $50 I think. Make sure you’re close to the feed point or you’ll be wrestling with sewage-soaked coil. I’d go from the floor drain that is backing up if you don’t have a toilet you can pull right next to it. Goal is to feed it to the sewer main. Scoping is the right answer, but a powered snake rental and an hour of dirty work has a chance of giving you some breathing room.
That describes my family. We’ve done Airbnb and VRBO, but now pretty much stick to hotels. You know what you’re getting, price is competitive, to bdint have to wash your own bedding, and a lot of hotel workers are unionized. That’s all in addition to the awareness that every Airbnb house could be a home for someone who needs it. I won’t be sad if the Airbnb model folds and helps the housing market regain a bit of sanity
Good thing we didn’t “defund the police” so taxpayers can keep paying police to violate their rights. This will continue and worsen until there is some incentive in place for police to follow the law
Home Depot rents out gas-less mig welders surprisingly cheap. You could spend a fun 3-4 hours noodling around trying simple welding of angle iron pieces!
Fireflies. I could sit on a porch watching fireflies every night of my life
The real consequence of submissive maga congressional leadership is surprisingly just doing nothing while executive bench becomes a king
