There’s no organization in America which is more regularly infringing on a dog’s territory than the U.S. postal service.

Holy shit I had to tap out. The casual, informed way they talk about fucking dolphins conveys how much time they must have actually spent fucking dolphins.

Funny, but obviously just a story. It was pushing boundaries for our youth pastor to serve pizza for communion. No church secretary is baking a bread Jesus penis.

Because he recognizes the dangerous situation we’re in and articulates a positive vision for the future, and the changes needed to get there.

The only way to confirm these results is expose a different random region to radiation and see what they get horny for

Obligatory fuck musk.

Reading the article, sounds like the government was like “hey this rebate program is about to run out of money” so Tesla is saying they rushed to submit various sales they had already made, but hadn’t submitted yet.

I bet regulators would like to take a closer look at the itemized list for funny business.

Even if what Tesla says is true, that’s a pretty sloppy way to run a business.

Tangentially, I’m curious why the government would structure a rebate program this way. Technically the rebate is for customers, not the dealer. But the way it works is the dealer gives a lower price to the customer, then collects the rebate to make up for the discount. If it’s possible for the money in the rebate program to run out, then doesn’t it seem obvious that some percentage of dealers will be left on the hook for rebates they extended on behalf of the government but won’t be reimbursed?

He’s just demonstrating New York City is fucked, not America

I was picturing a car-sized cube of salt that a guy is going out to the driveway to lick in the morning and in doing so emasculating the neighbors.

This is like those DIY videos where they’re doing it wrong in order to drive engagement

Sure you can. I think it’s wrong to murder people for no reason. I say something like “government should avoid baseless murder.” Maybe I’m offending people who have deeply held pro murder beliefs, but I’m right and they’re wrong.

I’m making a joke here, but to illustrate the principle that just because a country has some tradition or practice doesn’t mean it can’t be criticized. There is such a thing as objective reality.

And of course we have to recognize that we ourselves can be mistaken about the truth so it’s smart to practice a degree of humility and introspection when it comes to people we disagree with. Even so, I’m pretty comfortable saying that laws which imprison people for criticizing a king are counterproductive and harmful to a society.

The reason why free speech is a good idea is because it makes error correction possible. People come at subjects from all different angles, and inevitably someone will misjudge a subject, while a person approaching from another angle has an insight that would be helpful. In other words, people make mistakes, and if it’s illegal to point out a mistake it’s unlikely to be corrected. I don’t follow the Thai monarchy but I’m sure it’s made mistakes, and it should be legal to say so.

It turns out it was all a dream

Saying “possibly” is quite different from your edit to your earlier comment where you say you’ve been to every corner of the U.S. and there’s workable public transit.

I live here and haven’t been to every corner, and I doubt you have, because if you did you’d know there are many places where public transit is insufficient or non existent.

Overthrow oligarchy

A comment like this is really out of touch with reality on the ground for many people.

Do you want to have money to eat and a place to live? You need a job, and to have that job you need to get there, and to do that there is no workable public transit.

All the Gaylord hotels are pretty nice. They have these giant enclosed glass atriums with water features and restaurants.

Kirsten Dirksen has a good video about this castle.
