Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today

I’ve seen this exact same text written to look like a real comment on three different platforms now…
when the pedo sex crime conspiracy theorists finally are proven right… the new conspiracy theory is that it was all just a hoax and there’s no deep state or pedo trafficking rings despite mounting evidence
mighty convenient
Wow wtf that’s suspiciously accurate
buuuuuuut
Modern school is designed to stamp out creativity, compassion, maturity, courage, and critical thinking. It is designed to produce a worker class that is easier to suppress, bully, intimidate, and fool. It accomplishes that goal with ruthless efficiency. Don’t trust me, check out John Gatto, NYC teacher of the year. https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html
The perfect country to make a bunch of money if you’re young, healthy, highly skilled, and have no kids. If you check all these prerequisites then you are making money like crazy. Just no time off, no flexibility, just working for the man. Everyone else though it’s very hard.

Firefox on Android is pretty good and you can still install an ad blocker.
I DIY my stuff to be able to step back from the grind and feel connected to my life. I don’t think it’s mandatory. I just happen to like to do it. Feels like touching grass in a way
I mean BBQ sauce is like 80% sugar so

Wow I was going to say, that guy looks just like Gary Oldman, but more like Gary Youngman
6·27 days agoI second this, a monitor is useful in so many more ways! It turns your phone into a whole computer. If you use Android, you can install a terminal and be able to do all kinds of cool stuff on it.
I put a computer monitor with an HDMI to usb C adapter in my kitchen so I can plug in my phone and put on MST3K while cooking.
It’s also useful because you can use it as an external monitor for another computer.
Aka they are all ketamine and/or amphetamines. Don’t do these.
10·27 days agoWhoa whoa, what do you want to do, crash the entire US stock market over here?! Our whole economy is propped up by the story that AI is the future and will replace all jobs forever. We’ve got MS paying OpenAI paying Nvidia, and that’s making the line go up.
So let’s be cool with throwing around “numbers” that “prove” the emperor has no clothes. Because, like, we gotta pretend he does at least until the next thing that needs every video card ever.
If it’s small you might try printing the files on archival paper with archival ink. Then you can put copies in multiple safe deposit boxes. Also you could bury copies rolled up in plastic water bottles. I think those are unlikely to degrade anytime soon. Or glass bottles with plastic lids.
Not OP but mine is natural gas and definitely produces trace amounts of noticeable gases when run. It gives me a very mild headache
My hypothesis is it’s a combination of body fat distribution, blood flow rate, and surface area to mass ratios.
That’s the real reason it starts early: so two working parents can get the kids out the door and then still have time to get to work themselves
yeah, but like, fuck cars
yeah I’m here too from the ping, is there like birthday cake or something?
Keep in mind most firefighters in the USA are volunteers who just drive to the station when there’s a fire - not paid professionals.
My station just hired our first full time paramedics, we have a few part time paid firefighter+EMTs, and some volunteer firefighter+EMTs.
While we’re not getting that many fire calls, the few we get are pretty bad. Like, would burn down a neighborhood bad, because everything is now made from fast burning plastics. Sofas, carpets, house paint, siding, roofs, furniture, and clothes are all pretty much petroleum based. And will burn extremely hot and fast when it catches, spreading to all the surrounding exposure buildings.
My buddy works at Underwriters Laboratories and was saying they just did a burn test that showed the typical house today will catch neighboring houses on fire just from the infrared radiation through their windows. Even if the neighboring houses are soaking wet, the insides can still catch fire through the windows.
So we’re in a jam - we hardly ever have real house fires, but they are extremely dangerous and will burn the whole town down if we don’t get there asap.
Not to mention all the car crashes, hazmat spills, EMS lift assists. I’m sure there’s a way we can improve the situation, but I honestly don’t know what it would look like. The US is a huge place that’s very spread out, I don’t think we’re ever going to fully go away from volunteer firefighters, as much as I think it would be more efficient.
Long story short, if you’re able to lift a 30lb box overhead, the volunteer fire service is desperate in most places. Volunteerism is down like 90% from it’s peak. But most fire stations are entirely volunteer. So there’s a very real need for more folks to pitch in. I’m happy to chat with anyone who is curious and wants to get into it. I highly recommend it, it’s done wonders for my personal life.
