Don’t know if I’ll ever swap out my Traveler for the custom character in overworld, but this new gameplay looks interesting at least

Government is where people go to make a name for themselves if they’re too nasty and unprincipled for charity work but too incompetent for business.

it’s not only about how much they have, it’s about how much we don’t have

So that’s a completely different conversation. One that I think the US should have, mind you, since I agree that it’s wildly unsafe.

But my point is that if your car can’t pass inspection, it shouldn’t be on the road, and it definitely shouldn’t be racing, on-track or no.

The one held in my city is pretty reasonable. And if they’re not passing inspections to race on a track then they shouldn’t be racing on the street either.

Y’all are assholes who do asshole things.

That maim people.

And kill people.

All the time.

Seriously why do y’all do this? You can rent time on tracks for cheap!

The Pure Evil Villain does have a lot to recommend to it.

Amusingly, this was just a bit down in my feed

Can’t you go pester Kennedy instead?

Before their media blitz campaign, Hormel’s Spam was eaten in perhaps 20% of households; after the campaign it was closer to 70%.

Ads do work, if you do them right. People go for what they’ve heard of over what they haven’t.

Is this satire? Please tell me this is satire

[email protected] made some more in-depth comments elsewhere on this post, but in brief, no, none.

The only thing a medicine like this will do is cause brain bleeds and death in the elderly.

Sorry, downvoted for bad science. Amyloids have never been proven to be behind Alzheimer’s, and in fact most modern studies show no correlation.

So? There’s no harm in trying anyways. Why are you so against a small test on the off-chance it could save a friend’s life? It’s not as if you’re being asked to submit a whole kidney for testing or something.

The hell you on about? People do that all the time.

I’m part of a big group now that is in a pool doctors all over the US can check to see if they can find a match for people, because a friend of mine died from leukemia a long time ago. They couldn’t find a match for him, but maybe I can match with someone else someday.

BTW, gonna shamelessly plug NMDP. They do good work.

I see your Manos and raise you the Star Wars Holiday Special.

What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

Answer: roughly a billion dollars.

Being a million-dollar company means nothing against a company where a million dollars can count as little more than a rounding error.

If you ask, they’ll tell you it’s different for ‘essential services’. It’s the same excuse they use for the farm handouts.

And where in my previous post did I call you stupid?

You speak of mental health days in a derogatory way, as if you find the very idea that people should take care of their mental as well as physical health offensive, for reasons I don’t understand.

I’m saying that your mocking statement about taking days off for such things should in fact be something we do, and something we should find acceptable to do.

I absolutely guarantee you one of those things is not like the others. Period pain can be truly debilitating, especially for a person with endometriosis. It is totally worth time off.

Also, I find your insinuation that women take time off for ‘low mood’ and ‘being irritable’ frequently—as opposed to men—rather sexist and offensive, not to mention not reflective of reality.

However, I do like how you inadvertently stumbled into the idea that we should all have more sick days and mental health should be included in the definition of ‘health’. Taking time off for a mental ‘breather’ should be normalized in our society. I also think higher-mental-stress jobs like 911 dispatcher should get more mental health off-time.
