Crucially: let me have the damn files.

Why would I pay to use your awful webreader or streaming client when reader apps with good UI and quality video players exist.

Very cool that every institution will continue to act as if SSNs are private information and you can’t get a new number issued until after someone uses it to steal your identity.

Not every community wants to be a debate club.

Or you could, maybe, care about whats true instead of what’s convenient the same way the right does.

Wow, sounds a lot like my solution to fascists.

ok, state department asset

This doesn’t read as a literal quote to me. I’m feeling 50/50 that was what he was thinking and said something more appropriate vs actually saying that. He was on a podcast, presumably in a storytelling/jokey frame of mind.

Can’t be, must be russians.

I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I’m mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn’t have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.

Bonus: they’re gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.

The liminal backroom/vaporwave aesthetic hallway in the master bedroom is what really got me. Finally numbed to the siding, office chairs, and carpet and then the hall of mirrors comes in to seal the deal.

Does Arkansas just not have building codes? Surely they can’t actually sell it like this. There is no way you can bring this monstrosity up to code for less than the cost of burning it down and building something else.

Stop acknowledging that there is any nuance whatsoever wrt the invasion of ukraine, you’re scaring the libs.

edit: self determination? never heard of it. Surely it can’t be that both sides suck (unequally) because neither cares what the actual inhabitants of the disputed territory want. Russia is ontologically evil so if you identify as russian you don’t deserve rights.

If the dispute was reversed the libs would be cheering for the brave Ukrainian separatist fighters and the liberatory Ukrainian invasion.

I had a 2 bedroom in Albuquerque for 1100 last year, with horrible noise pollution but still.

In a way I almost prefer that to the blatant posers I see driving around with huge lifts and offroad tires looking spotless in our muddy season out here. I was at the combo laundromat/carwash the other day watching one of them wash an already clean truck while I was thinking about the massive mud puddle I’d be driving through to get home.

But really, who cares. Landfills are a negligible amount of land usage and land used for them can be repurposed after closing the landfill. As long as you bury it enough to keep it out of the biosphere the environmental impact of not recycling is negligible. Recycling is preferable for lowering resource extraction sure but as long as its still more resource efficient than a gas car that’s irrelevant.

To me this is the same as oil industry propaganda over wind turbine blades not being recyclable, like oh no it’ll occupy a few cubic yards of a landfill in 15 years, better build a new coal/gas plant instead.

folding it into a triangle before burning is the respectful way of disposing of at least the US flag. Just stuff it in the barrel and add lighter fluid.

Go back to reddit, prion brained dipshit.

Beans and lentils are cheaper protein, you buy meat because you prefer the taste. That’s a type of entertainment.

You realize that’s newsworthy precisely because it’s uncommon right?

I don’t think you know what that word means.

Paying someone to kill someone/something for you is still killing.

“but what if they have a medical condition that doesn’t exist that I just made up”

Pretty unlikely.
