It do be like that

Nice try.

If I see XcQ, the link stays blue.

No argument there. Was just the first video on the list

This is the most efficient way to peel potatoes

Protip: ruin your own credit score so thieves can’t open credit cards in your name. Gotta stay one step ahead!

Imodium is your friend, keep some in your car

So you have nothing to back up your claim and you’re instead going with the ‘trust me bro’ defense.

Another genius trump voter here folks

Claims submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

You got a source on that? No of course you don’t

The more you know eh?

That’s super troubling, especially this bit from the wiki article

The Supreme Court then upheld the ban as constitutional in Oregon v. Mitchell (1970), but just for federal elections.

So it sounds like we could return to literacy tests at a state or local level but I’ve never heard of that happening, so there must be separate state level bans on that practice or something. Would have to look into it to form an opinion.

Wait, so his proposal is for voters to become more informed before stepping into a voting booth? Did he think this through?

If conservatives are getting crushed now wait til gen z spite-votes against anything conservative because now they have a better understanding of how democracy is supposed to work. Prime leopardsatemyface in the making.

Welp, guess masks are forever now between wildfire smoke and spontaneous prion generation risk. Jfc

Bruh.

The curse of successful mitigation is skeptics will then say afterwards that ‘X was no big deal, look how few people died’

Don’t be one of those.

Protect yourself first, never apologize.

People that call you names are also telling you they don’t have your back and do not care if they give you covid or if you die from it.

Man I was reading his comment and I was like what is this whataboutism nonsense he’s talking about, then it made sense when I read your comment. Guess I gotta start looking at usernames again before reading comments

This is why I started exclusively wearing kn95s because it became clear after a time that people simply don’t give a shit about anyone except themselves, they don’t care if you or I get covid and die.

So I stopped pretending like I’m doing my part since we all know surgicals and cloth masks are only truly effective if everyone else is wearing them. They know too but choose to fuck us anyway. So fuck them too and protect yourself first. Wear your p100 respirator with the exhaust vents that filter nothing for extra vindictive points

If this exists as a sticker you’d probably find it on the back of a stop sign in Portland

Oh no, anyway

I remember reading that book. My takeaway from it was that if I go hiking in there, I’m taking a friend.

One of the major risk factors for dying out there was if you were a guy going out there by yourself. I’d bet they would all be alive today if they just had someone else there to tell them their idea was stupid, and sometimes you just need to say it out loud before you realize its dumb halfway through explaining it

My main news sources are primarily NY Times, npr and a local city paper.

It’s not a particularly varied list but I reached a point during the pandemic where I just couldn’t handle the firehose of low effort journalism doom and gloom anymore. Opted to choose a couple of quality, relatively neutral sources and cut out the reddit feed. Npr is left leaning in their content and nytimes feels slightly left leaning on their journalism pieces, but based on the political op-ed writeups on the front page that I rarely read it looks right leaning

Initially I paid for a nytimes subscription until I found that I could get a library card from a sort of nearby large city in my state through a statewide reciprocal library card program, at which point I found that better funded library offers a free subscription to the nytimes to any cardholder, so that’s how I get access now. I find their higher quality of journalism to be like a breath of fresh air after getting hot boxed every day from the low effort shit that reddit fed us
