You can get the same effect as a new car by buying a used car and then lighting $20,000 on fire when you drive it off the lot.

All the shirts I have with logos I got for free, usually from work. Except for my NASA t shirt. I'll wear their logo for free.

Yeah, you tend to learn from those sort of mistakes

I could see it being useful if it was an accessory to your phone. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of something to look it up, or having a push-to-talk badge or pendant would make it more convenient, especially for folks like me who don't wear watches. And with Bluetooth it would have decent battery life.

But the damn thing can't even set a timer.

I asked this question in another thread but didn't get a reply, and I'm interested to hear an answer because I don't really have one: What would people expect their personal situation to look like if the economy were doing well? What are they not seeing that they would expect if the economy was doing well?

This thing is addressing problems that don't exist. It's solutionism at its worst.

Bibi Is Choosing Stefanik and Trump. President Biden, Don’t Be Fooled. (www.nytimes.com)

If you are keeping score at home, you have surely noticed that the two most important defense officials in Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet — Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the former military chief of staff Benny Gantz — warned last week that Netanyahu is leading Israel into a disastrous abyss by refusing to present...

He would be ruthlessly lambasted as an antisemite by the AIPAC-endorsed left and all of the right, and lose the Jewish vote in every swing state, handing the election to Trump in a landslide.

Instead, he's getting ruthlessly lambasted as a genocider by significant Muslim populations in swing states, losing their vote, and handing the election to Trump in the Electoral College.

I know enough history to be used to not being able to vote not to kill children.

And in the meantime children die. What a stupid world.

I'm starting to think that this is the rest of society and I'm the one who should leave.

I'm sure cheaper concert tickets will come as a comfort to those who are struggling to pay for lifesaving medication.

They can ration their medication even more and go see Taylor Swift before they die.

They need to get these folks to do commercials for the campaign. Nobody trusts authority or institutions, but seeing real people who have been really helped might make an impact.

I remember back in the 90s during the Macintosh-Windows flamewars people would frequently make early image edits of Bill Gates as a Borg. Now they're doing it unironically.

I am automatically suspicious of anyone who's a patriotic American. Either they're ignorant of our country's history and are idiots or they're proud of it and are psychopaths.

Edit: I just realized I'm paraphrasing Patrick O'Brien:

But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.

Yet again I'm asking the Fediverse: What do they think a good economy should look like?

I would definitely not recommend doing what I did, which is learning how to make literally the best cheesecake everyone who's tried it has ever eaten.

I make sure not to have the ingredients in the house or I'd probably eat one a week.

It's a real problem.

You make a good point

Joe Rogan isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of DMT

‘Both Candidates Are Trash!’ Charlamagne Pushes Back Hard On The View Hosts Pressing for Biden Endorsement (www.mediaite.com)

“The reality is I think both candidates are trash, but I am going to vote in November and going to vote my best interest and I’m going to vote for who I think can preserve democracy, so if I think both candidates are trash and I don’t feel like endorsing one, would you rather me endorse an individual or endorse the fact...

The fact that we only have those options is what's going to depress turnout enough to let Trump win on a technicality again.

Shithole country.

That was an amazing lucky shot! Perfectly in frame, capturing the sky and the meteor and the reaction
