And then 2 years later they realize their tax base can’t support their infrastructure and this is how Iowa grows a couple gnarly tentacles

I’ve seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. I could kinda see black bears but like wtf. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you’re pretty much dead if you aren’t within 10 minutes to a hospital.

A Republican politician circulating photos of underage girls without their knowledge or consent? Color me shocked. Unlike Gaetz, Cruz has the decency to only used clothed images, so at least we gotta give him credit for that

Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!

Let’s say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you’re at an angle and your rear right is really close to the car sitting in the space to the right.

Crank the wheel right as far as it’ll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you’re parallel with that car but really close.

Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.

Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered.

You’ll see some people try to straighten out but they just straight up reverse out of the spot and wind up back at square one, you don’t want to do that, you want to use a bit excess room in front of and behind the car to essentially guide the offending axle into place, once that’s done rest follows

They should stand before a jury of their peers and the jury should be allowed to hear both sides and come to a determination based on what had been presented to them.

There’s enough credibility in the claim that they’re doing this in order to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights that I think they should stand trial and allow for a conclusion.

Court is often where intent is decided

That’s cool but we really need to start looking at shit like this as intent to deprive people of their constitutional rights and charge them for such

The median driver sure, but the bottom couple percent never miss their exit and tend to do boneheaded shit like swerving into the next lane when there’s a stopped car at a crosswalk. >40,000 US fatalities in 2023. There are probably half a dozen fatalities in the US on any given day by the time the clock strikes 12:01AM on the west coast.

Edit: some more food for thought as I’ve been pondering:

FSD may or may not be better than the median driver (maybe this investigation will add to knowledge), but it’s likely better than the worst drivers… But the worst drivers are the most likely to vastly overestimate their competence, which might lead to them actively avoiding the use of any such aids, despite those drivers being the ones who would see the greatest benefit from using them. We might be forever stuck with boneheaded drivers doing boneheaded shit

It also violates collusion laws and also collusion clauses in their own terms found at

Kinda odd that they chose to adbicate any fiduciary responsibility in order to prefer a book with an extremely specific physical design on the basis of durability, despite that design being so specific that it costs >10 times more than less specifically-designed books, when the only people who can acquiesce to such a request are political figures of the same affiliation

To top it all off the email/text had information redacted not by blurring it with paint, but by using characters in the same font with the same line breaks.

I mean seriously, who does that? Only time I’ve ever busted out inspector to modify a website or tweet or email is to elaborately troll someone with a sceenshot.

Did they really use inspector to redact info out an legit document about an allegedly widespread thing that no one else can produce, or did they draft the whole thing, used strings of ‘x’ to mark where to blur, and forget to blur? /shrug

I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets

I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there

Be me, postal worker. One of our machines uses a csv file to attach zip codes to bins. See fresh engineer decide to change one zip code in notepad really quick. See file’s formatting get wrecked. Spend next 6 hours watching all the mail spit out of the very last bin every time they think they finally fix it as if machine has irritable bowel syndrome. Engineer earns nickname ‘boy wonder’ first week on job

I feel bad for the kids working in these conditions

If the media would quit making articles out of X posts and hosting said posts for clickthroughs that’d be great.

They’ll even link to X in articles specifically discussing how bad X or Musk is, like no drop is responsible for the flood

The only people wishing for civil war are too short-sighted to understand how horribly it would go for them. Ports, airports, water treatment plants, data centers, power stations etc etc etc predominantly located in urban areas. Good luck to the AR-15 loving whackjobs when they’re instantly landlocked and deprived of foreign trade and means to communicate. They turn on the TV and the only broadcasts they’d see are “this can end now and it all starts with you”

Trump is gonna ramble on about what a “woman job” means in an attempt at damage control, mid-debate with Kamala, and the collective sound of 100 million Americans sharply inhaling will echo through all the streets when he unintentionally endorses her on national TV
