media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

This is incredible content, it's the same "it's cheaper if you cook / I'm too tired from work to cook" discourse from BlueSky except literally no one posting actually cooks or has a real job, so nobody has any standing to argue either side and yet they're far nastier about it.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny

i have never seen a higher density of pride flags than in Boise

It’s now at least 20 anti-abortion judges mainedems.org/susan-collin...

Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · 2mo ago

Susan Collins has confirmed at least 16 anti-abortion judges in Trump’s second term. Some Mainers may think their reproductive and civil rights are safe and still vote for her, but any of these freaks could tee up a SCOTUS case that takes the entire country backwards mainedems.org/susan-collin...

50% of my email is fundraising requests from the Democrats

even if you don't love the shinkansen for being the best train, you can love it for having a bunch of turquoise train sets

my pointless product take is that the Timex Expedition is essentially a perfect watch. comfortable, reliable, easy to read, attractive, and reasonably priced (especially if you aren't picky on color)

The amount of reading you have to do on Reddit to background check any purchase over $50 is wild. Side note: you absolutely cannot trust Amazon reviews because sellers routinely give away free product and cash in exchange for five star reviews.

Not really disagreeing, but a related factor is the research/decision fatigue if you do decide quality/longevity is worth the cost. I do it for kitchen equipment etc; quickly run out of spoons/finances to do it for clothing.

Costco is the opposite of Amazon because they have a team of professional buyers who stock their shelves with a limited selection of high quality goods that provide good value. And unlike Target and Walmart, they have not opened up their e-commerce platforms to third-party sellers of cheap garbage.

I am a theological protestant, but when it comes to the religion of consumerism, I’m decidedly not. There’s no “priesthood for all consumers”, most of you are dumb as hell, and you should let someone who has expertise and an interest in your repeat business do the pickin’.

look there's lots of great headphones in the world, but the hurr durr six hungos from old mate senn continue to dunk on almost everything

"Some harm reduction advocates are annoying" isn't a serious policy analysis or prescription. Everyone wants to get homeless people off the streets. Harm reduction advocates want to get them into shelters and treatment, which works. Their opponents want incarceration, which doesn't.

West Coast cities are caught in a doom loop where the problem keeps growing but political elites refuse to admit that solving it requires more funding. Every few years someone comes along promising to "finally" crack down, gets elected and fails to deliver. That would have been worth writing about.

"Hey, have you thought about arresting drug users?" isn't a bold new idea, it is what we did for decades — and are still doing. Powell even admits this: The new mayor is doing encampment sweeps... Just like the last mayor. And the one before that.

My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

how did the paste icon become a clipboard? was the clipboard an important component in pasting? like why isn't it...idk...glue?

Sriracha + mayonnaise

"2 years complimentary maintenance on your new EV" ok so like...windshield wipers?

what was the problem? idk, but rebooting the router fixed it

it's still nuts to me that you can do CAD in a web browser, on a laptop.

amazon: you must spend at least $35 to get free shipping also amazon: we've divided your order into two shipments

It’s such a rare and unique sense of satisfaction i get from checking my daughter’s car to make sure everything is okay for her road trip and discovering that indeed she did need her oil topped off My delight is way out of proportion with the actual accomplishment

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

small detail going wrong without ruining everything challenge

it is possible that updating vaultwarden will fix everything
