The CEO of Ford drives a Xaomi. He could have any car he wanted, and he chooses a Chinese car. It's ostensibly for market research but he's said he really doesn't want to give it up. So yeah they're cheap, and also I think China might just genuinely make better cars at this point. While China has been investing into manufacturing and consumer tech the big three have been dragging their heels and kicking and screaming because they see engineers as cost centers and that is biting them in the ass as well.

i resent living under a government run by such unserious people. i mean trump himself is circling the drain but the fact that anyone in that room went along with it is just disappointing more than anything. these people respect nothing, least of all themselves.

it would be very funny for Minnesota to stop extraditing to Texas. Zero shot but it would be funny.

Well how are you going to get rid of the ghosts if you don't consume them? You pour it drain and now the drain is haunted and you have to hire a plumber who's also a practicing priest. Its a very rare job description and I've only ever heard of one. He doesn't come cheap. You'd think it's a scam if it weren't for the water ghosts.

I wanted to make a cheap joke about getting the ghosts out by boiling the hell out of it but I wound up in a rabbithole about supercritical water. It turns out you can boil the hell into water. With a lot of heat and pressure water can dissolve rock, oil and gas dissolve into the water easily, and if you put organic waste into really angry water that shit will burn. Underwater! It even destroys PFAS and prions!

I'm not holding my breath but I'm still hoping for a groundswell of electoral opposition that puts someone competent in power so he has to impotently watch P2025 crumble and get reversed. Also, y'know, a fair trial for his crimes and getting sued into oblivion by all the people he's stolen from. If he just has a massive stroke they'll keep him in power as long as he's technically alive. Its like 40k but way dumber

Oddly when I ask people like this too many questions they find it difficult to explain their beliefs with any specificity. Questions like "what is energy," or "how exactly does the tetractys connect to quantum physics," or "how can we apply any of this knowledge in a falsifiable way?"

Addicts often commit other crimes, but the addiction is a function of the exposure to (and therefore trafficking of by other people) addictive substances. Cops actually love to hassle addicts, so long as they're homeless addicts. It hasn't solved any problems. But tackling drug trafficking is scary and dangerous because it turns out drugs are profitable and traffickers have loads of money and power.

I hope I never lose someone close to me in a way that gets memed on. John Edward Jones was a father expecting a second child, a brother, a husband, and a son. He was trapped in the cave a few days before Thanksgiving. I can only imagine how horrible it was for his family.

I'm not usually one to moralize or care about the tastefulness of comedy but the memes about nutty putty do not feel good to see

flow as in menstrual flow, the literal volume of blood and mucosal lining from the uterus during a woman's period

flow also as in lyrical flow, the use of rhythm and articulation in a rapper's delivery

bar as in a measure of time in music, typically a four beat bar

spitting referring to the rapid and rhythmic delivery of words to a beat

If your [lyrical] flow is so heavy, why aren't you [rapping]?
