  1. I honestly don’t think that pricing plays a role in pickup truck demand. Those things are stupid expensive and it has no impact on the number of people who don’t need them buying them.
  2. Voting is a civil liberty and the majority of the electorate was grossly irresponsible with it. It’s not about being threatened, it’s what you do with them.
  3. Unfortunately Musk has purchased his way to the right hand of the president-elect, resulting in an appointment to an extra-governmental organization charged with fundamentally dismantling multiple institutions. His tweets about fighter jets knocked close to 4% off the value of a major defense contractor’s stock. It’s real life, although your take is very much in line with the type of people who treat politics and national security like a TV show you can turn off. They end up being extremely irresponsible with their civic liberties.
  4. Ngl, I wouldn’t get out and say anything, but I’d keep driving if I saw a Trump sign. MAGA’s whole schtick is promising to hurt people you don’t like, so no I won’t help you. Fuck them.
  5. I don’t understand what you’re arguing. Are you trying to say that in the past, Bill Gates or Warren Buffet advocated behind the scenes for the execution of NSC staffers they had beef with? Is this based on anything other than repeat viewings of House of Cards?
  6. It was Marc Andreesen talking shit.
  7. Just read an article calling Elon an “energy vampire” and that’s exactly the case and descriptor. Just completely latched onto our national discourse and forcing people to drain away their energy combatting his idiocy.
  8. I’m completely uninterested in doing any more research on this but thank you for posting this. I saw a clip of this guy being absolutely stupid about military aviation on Twitter and wondered who he was and why he was talking about future weapons platforms; now I see he is just another Silicon Valley dipshit.
  9. Been completely laid up with some virus from hell for three days. My man has been there the whole time. Ordinarily he’s completely obnoxious about as much walk time as he can get but he’s been content to just lay around, he knows I’m out of the game.
  10. Realizing how terribly written my last post is, wow. Posting on a cocktail of cold drugs.
  11. Also, the VVS is terrifyingly effective in Ukraine right now, especially with glide bombs that are really similar to JDAMS. Where Ukraine is having success, it’s thanks to high-end air-defense capabilities and not drones. On the flip side, Ukraines lack of the type of long-range strike capabilities that the F-35 and other crewed aviation is a big reason why the battlefield looks like it does. TL; DR Elon is dumb on this.
  12. Chinese state media is worried about Bluesky because they can’t manipulate it like Elon’s Twitter. https://www.semafor.com/article/11/25/2024/bluesky-boom-worries-chinese-media
  13. The lessons of the tragedy of the commons are everywhere. Paradoxically, maintaining a useable and pleasant public space will always mean you have to keep a very small part of the public out. Otherwise it becomes a place for only them.
  14. Except this is a Battle of the Bulge tribute uniform and that’s how the flag patch was worn then.
  15. Look at this absolute dork.
  16. “These burger patties are only 15-20 percent human feces, the rest is prime brisket and sirloin trimmings.”
  17. It is darkly funny that some think-tankers wrote a Serious Lawyer Analysis of Cannon’s decision as if it were something other than post hoc gobbledygook seeking to justify a pre-determined outcome. There’s a whole industry around this. The right shits the bed and they launder the sheets down to a sickly all-over beige and tell everyone it’s normal.
  18. Rogan is also beefing with The View ladies because he thinks that dragons (maybe flying dinosaurs) once existed alongside people. We can’t have a normal liberal version of Rogan, he exists to make stupid people dumber.
  19. The signature DJT achievement has been turning all the scummy little implicitly transactional dealings in American government into very explicitly scummy transactional dealing.
  20. lol at resident Middle East understanders asking if Assad really killed that many women and children.
  21. Anastasis does make a really good point. What if Dr. Oz is appointed to the role, and then he also becomes both chambers of Congress and drafts and approves groundbreaking new healthcare legislation that brings Medicare to all? I will admit I did not consider that angle, really makes me rethink my stance that he has no qualifications to run a massive entitlement program.
  22. I am kind of surprised this didn’t take off. You go to Lowe’s or your contractor asks you “do you want the regular or big dick toilet for fifty bucks more?” Everyone is getting the big dick version. Even guys with really small dicks, like seven inches, they still buy the big dick version.
  23. Jaguar enshittens its logo (new is on the right). This design and the people doing it need to be shot into the sun.
  24. Oprah is part of our problem, remember “The Secret” phase. The most influential and successful woman in America told her audience “hey you should just disconnect from material reality and instead believe absolute horseshit, you’ll be happier and better off.” And we all kind of went along with it because Oprah seems pretty nice.
