  • I know a guy who “doesn’t understand why vasectomies are so popular all of the sudden. Any child is a gift, especially if you’re fifty.”

    I don’t want to have 15 kids that I can’t afford and would only provide a terrible upbringing dipshit.

    He also does not understand why women don’t always give natural child birth anymore. “Women did it for hundreds of years.”

    Yes. The life expectancy was like 35 back then. This Christian anti science shit is beyond stupid.







  • I’m not going to down vote you, but I strongly disagree. Wealthy begets wealth. Poverty digs the hole deeper. This has been the pattern for longer than any of us have been alive.

    You don’t have money? Congrats, you need to take out loans for any important purchase, and get terrible interest rates on those loans. You can live in a crappy apartment and drive a crappy car, but those still cost significant money when you have none. Work two or three jobs even. The minimum wage have been raised in 15 years, so what you earn is barely enough to scrape by, assuming you don’t have any health problems.

    You come from money? Make investments, but rental properties, get your education without financially crippling you for years. You come from lots of money? Corner the market, influence Congress to pass bills that protect your assets and punish others.





  • I’m voting democrat no matter what, for obvious reasons, but I don’t understand the down voting for calling out what is pretty obvious. I watched John Stewart’s episode on it, then some interviews today. It was bad. Really bad.

    Biden isn’t fit to be president. I wouldn’t trust him with my dinner order. This election hasr potential to be a disaster. Yes, I know staff is doing the work, but it’s still not comforting to have a doddering old man at the helm.

    I would think finding someone that is youngish, intelligent,and exciting wouldn’t be that difficult. It would also be a(nother) huge contrast from the orange shit stain.


  • So far $5.7 billion has been spent. The total approved funds were actually $60 billion. That ratio does seem sketchy, but the article mentions the money will be spent on other upgrades as well, such as customer service, though it fails to go into much detail.

    I recall reading that increasing IRS funds tend to yield significantly higher earnings, but the article doesn’t provide any depth there. The proposal mentions that they expect to bring in $200 billion. That sounds disappointingly low to me. I was hoping for something more like a 10-1 return, but I imagine auditing those armed to dodge taxes isn’t easy.



  • Never responded. I didend up buying a keychron. They didn’t have the blues in stock, so I bought one with browns and ordered blue switches. They also were out of the model that had Wi-Fi, but I figured Bluetooth is fine. Turns out, I love the brown switches. Also, I realized my rig is so old and randomly upgraded that I don’t even have Bluetooth.

    Anyway, it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. Works great with my various laptops. I now enjoy typing. Many thanks for the recommendation.
