I wonder if that could be considered an ADA violation since some autistic folks may be overwhelmed by the super sudden and loud noise?

I’ve def seen them in Seattle

I default to having a meltdown, smashing the screen, yelling “where is the goddamn mute button”.

Is this unhinged, yes. But if we all did it, they would eventually get the message.

Really though, I mostly get gas at Costco cuz it’s cheaper and they don’t do that shit.

Wow. So he was just too geeked out on K to complain about all the tariff drama the last few months? I thought Xi said they may just straight up stop selling some of that stuff to us? Not sure if it was rare earth minerals or some other rare substance that’s needed for military applications. Elon and Trump are some real fucking geniuses. 🙄

Maybe someday. 🤞🏾And then Phoney Stark won’t have to worry about whether we’re taxing billionaires enough 🙏🏾

It was lower in April and March. The stock had been oscillating wildly between $375 and $225 all year and has no relation to any of the actual finances of the company. Considering that the budget bill under consideration could remove the clean energy credits that keep the company in the black, the stock should be much lower.

I really need to switch to android. I don’t love google but the popups are killing my soul

We’re supposed to believe that these “job creators” and “titans of industry” are next level geniuses who clearly rose to the top on only their merits (and bootstraps) while they were seemingly incapable of predicting that a 2nd Trump term would be a financial disaster? I hope all these ghouls who donated to our dear fascist get everything they deserve.

Touché

When I am on a phone, let me zoom on whatever the fuck I want. Unconditionally. Period. I won’t purchase shit off of your shitty site if I can’t see it. And you obviously have no clue how shitty my vision has gotten over the years. And for the love of anything good in the world, don’t wait till I’m zoomed in to pop a fucking model asking me if I want to join your list for 10% off. If I buy something, you’re gonna put me on your list, whether I like it or not. And I can’t stop you if I actually want a receipt. So just give me the discount. Or don’t. I don’t even fucking care anymore. Just fuck off. Fuck.

If the feds won’t pay out maybe everyone in the blue states should quit paying federal taxes?

We’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.

Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.

41% approving is way too high. WTF is wrong with people? And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people? What in the actual fuck? I am so deeply disappointed in my fellow Americans

Oh, you’re right. He is originally from El Salvador. I think I may be confusing him with someone else, I thought they sent some Venezuelans to El Salvador.

You are 100% right. It’s so much slower than a competent, dedicated cashier. I’ve been a cashier when I was a kid and I still fucking struggle with the self check out. It won’t let you pick up an handful of small items (like protein bars) and swipe them all before placing them, it won’t let you swipe the same yogurt 5 times and then move its 4 twins to the bag. Even doing one item at a time, it can’t keep up if I get going at a good pace. And it gets confused for seemingly no reason, requiring intervention. And many places have a camera and monitor right in your face like I need to see a fucking mugshot of my 3am ice cream purchase.

And it isn’t deportation. Deportation is sending someone to another country, generally the one they originally came from and where they hopefully have citizenship. This is paying some completely unrelated country to imprison someone with no legal avenue for due process or release. The best description I can come up with is kidnapping and imprisonment abroad.

ETA: it’s been pointed out that Mr Garcia is originally from El Salvador so this isn’t one of the cases where we’re sending Venezuelans to an unrelated country. It’s still super fucked up since the dude had legal status and no criminal record and no due process. Is El Salvador just a lawless dictatorship? The CIA just completely fucked up Latin America for generations :(

People should be charged with a crime when their unsecured firearms are used in a crime like this. I’m not holding my breath on this one. No way a cop actually faces criminal charges for this. But they should :(

Tiktok is considered a National Security threat that must be banned because it will give our data to China. Let’s see if Zucc faces absolutely any consequences. I won’t hold my breath

Not OP but, yes. Circular needles are each connected on one end by a cable (or similar). They are typically used to make tubes without seams. Like how most socks are a continuous tube (except for the heel and toe). Most sweaters aren’t done on circular needles (although they can be). If you look at how most sweaters are constructed, you can see that the front and back are single blocks that are stitched together at the sides

I’m a US citizen and I agree with them 100%. A bunch of us tried to tell everyone that Trump was a fascist dumpster fire that would try to make himself king, trash the economy and violate everyone’s civil and human rights. A bunch of ding dongs voted for him anyway. Now he’s making outlandish and insulting demands of our allies, fucking up trade and markets (along with abusing the civil and human rights of some protesters, asylum seekers and random travelers, oh, and throwing Ukraine under the bus and encouraging a fucking measles outbreak). So yeah, I don’t want my house and retirement savings to go into the shitter if the country goes full Nazi and I have to flee with nothing. So maybe if some folks have to do without eggs and cheap imports for a while they just might maybe learn that we need to pull the US out of this tailspin before it’s too late. Some fucking people just will not listen when you tell them the stove is hot. So now we all suffer while they touch the red hot burner and go “Duho, that hurts!”
