Absolutely. If other people want to judge me for it, then their opinion doesn’t matter to me anyway.

For the MAGA crowd, “going woke” = showing empathy… and nothing incites MAGAs derision like empathy. They want an unfair society, and anyone who doesn’t must be a threat.

Business Insider would like Gen Z to know that workplace anxiety is healthy and their problem is that they need more of it. (www.businessinsider.com)

Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z's "strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost" because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.

Theory: Suzy Welch emerged from a pod as a fully mature adult, and never experienced puberty or high school.

‘It’s That Simple’: Mark Meckler Says The Only Way To Secure The Border Is By Invading Mexico (www.rightwingwatch.org)

Mark Meckler is the president of the Convention of States Foundation and a leading proponent of the right-wing movement to get state legislatures to call for a dangerous Article V convention that will consider constitutional amendments to radically alter American government and society by making much of what the federal...

This would be neither simple nor guarantee a secure border, but they don’t care. They just want a legal excuse to kill brown people.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have politicians whose shallowness and hypocrisy aren’t so easily mocked by 10-year-olds?

This woman knows how to write a closing sentence. Damn.

I like JustWatch because it lets you search all your streaming services at once. If you set up a (free) account, you can limit it to just the streaming services you have personally. Handy as hell.

Goddammit now I’ve got that Hanson song in my head. I deserve it.

Female singers only want to sing about love, relationships, or breakups. They need to sing more about Godzilla, Vikings, The Grim Reaper, or making a bet with the Devil for a golden fiddle.

At this point in history there’s been a billion songs from female singers about relationships. Nearly every song revolves around that topic....

Okay, “Ferengi/Incel” is funny as shit.

This is the first “TikTok trend” I’ve seen that doesn’t make me cringe

I wouldn’t have cared, but I ended up rooting for the Chiefs because it would piss off people I don’t like. Heh heh heh.

I started watching near the end of the 4th quarter, and it turned out to be a surprisingly good ending. It was anyone’s game, right up to the end, and only the second superbowl in history to go into overtime.

I generally don’t like football, so I watched it Live from Bikini Bottom on Nickelodeon.

By “good” I meant it was down to the wire and actually kept your attention. Lots of superbowls are boring blowouts.

Ooh, I didn’t know that happened. Nice!

I made fun of one of my friends for reading trashy romance novels. She just shrugged and said “I know they’re terrible, but I like them.” She was very calm and matter-of-fact about it. She wasn’t embarrassed, and didn’t try to defend herself.

I felt like a jerk, but since then I’ve remembered not to criticize someone’s harmless personal hobbies. If they’re not hurting anyone, why be cruel and take enjoyment away from people?

A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco (www.theverge.com)

A person jumped on the hood of a Waymo driverless taxi and smashed its windshield in San Francisco’s Chinatown last night around 9PM PT, generating applause before a crowd formed around the car and covered it in spray paint, breaking its windows, and ultimately set it on fire. The fire department arrived minutes later,...

At the moment, no outlets seem to have reported a motive for the attack.

Okay…

The California DMV suspended Waymo rival Cruise’s robotaxi operations after one of its cars struck and dragged a pedestrian last year, and prior to that, automated taxis had caused chaos in the city, blocking traffic or crashing into a fire truck. Just last week, a Waymo car struck a cyclist who had reportedly been following behind a truck turning across its path.

Motive? Gee, I’m stumped.

Thank you for correcting their inaccurate reporting.

There’s always gonna be “a better place to start first”, no matter what the suggestion is. That’s a popular delaying tactic, and it’s part of the problem. At least this is something we can control ourselves, instead of waiting for governments/corporations to act.

OP isn’t suggesting killing pets, and I’m sure not, so I don’t know where you’re getting that dramatic, emotional idea from. Since you don’t have any pets, and you’re already trying to reduce your impact on the environment, we all appreciate your efforts!

If anyone is thinking about buying a pet, though, think twice. Things may seem okay for now, but humanity is going to have to live MUCH more efficiently in order to survive.

Do I really have to explain that if people own fewer pets, there will be less demand for pet related products?

I’m done wasting my time on this.

Applause and sincere appreciation to whoever decided to name the protest "Free The Peach”.

That’s “okay”, though, because we, the viewers, often know that the suspect is guilty. The cops still come off as good (and smart, with good intuition as well) because we know for certain that they’re doing the “right” thing.

magnetosphere,

You nailed it. That’s why I put “okay” in quotes. Those laws exist for a reason, and lionizing cops who break the law only teaches the public to accept that lawbreakers are okay if they’re on Team Good.

Unfortunately, what the government calls “good” and what you and I call “good” are often different things.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

Because he’s my nephew. I care about him. He’s only in high school, he’s saving up for one, and I don’t want him to be disappointed/frustrated and waste his money on a crappy printer. If I can steer him away from bad printers and software, great!

I also don’t want him to be discouraged. He’s smart, talented, and basically I want him to kick ass everything he does (I know that’s unrealistic, but hey, that’s the uncle in me talking). Plus, being good at 3D printing will be a valuable skill.
