What even is money at this point?
It's like go ahead. Hey, pay a few trillion in reparations while you're at it!
It isn't like the United States is going to exist much longer anyway, what with all the debt it's getting into. At the rate we're going, Trump's successor could see 64T in debt before 2035.

Remember that RFK speech that got fact checked and made the NYT look stupid about Canadian fruit loops and US fruit loops?
I've got an anecdote.
Our boy isn't a huge eater. He likes his meals and he's a growing boy, but he doesn't remember certain foods and beg for them or anything. Certainly not cereal.
But we have a store in town that sells foreign foods, including some US foods. They sell lucky charms marshmallows in small and large formats, made for the US markets, and we picked it up because "hey, lucky charms!".
We actually stopped buying them because of all the food in our house -- all the chocolate, all the ice cream, all the potato chips, all the cereals, he'd have tantrums throughout the day if we didn't give him US Lucky Charms. It's the only food in the house he'd drop everything to ask for. We've even had Canadian lucky charms, it didn't cause tantrums.
Not to say that Canadian food is perfect, but it's a data point that suggests there's something particularly odd about US food.

Yeah all seasons suck really bad. I went with the four season tires that are okay in the winter and decent the rest of the year, and they were pretty decent for the time, the one I had to replace them I just went with winter tires because they were cheaper and then I'll just get summer tires, and the one nice thing about that is then you're splitting the wear up among two sets of tires.
Well yeah, that's just good practice when it's safe to do so. These days I drive a subcompact, so things like not getting your ass stuck at a stop sign are important skills to have. During conditions like that, usually your problem isn't not being able to stop, it's being able to stop way too well and the next time your car stops it's probably going to stay stopped for the foreseeable future.
The day we got smacked wasn't in the middle of a snowstorm though.

Ah, fair enough. One of my later cars had snow tires, but it didn't stop us from getting t-boned on a side street. Lady just ran the stop sign. So yeah...
I'm listening to a podcast on this right now, and it's from a more right-wing perspective but even this guy is going "Well, he sort of deserved it, look at all this crap he did"
Guilt-based morality is such that it doesn't matter what you did, it's what I did. Killing is wrong, and even if for example my kid with cancer was denied treatment it's still wrong, but on the other hand, if my kid died because he was denied cancer treatment that CEO should be sleeping with one eye open.
It doesn't make it right, but in that hypothetical at least I understand and I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing. When you curse someone dig two graves, but sometimes it's worth digging that grave.

Real snow tires are the best. My first few years driving I drove a Bronco II with mud tires and I could see the blade of the reaper an inch from my throat whenever I drove. Once I threw some snow tires on that thing I never worried about driving in the winter again.
Honestly, although I have my way of doing things I can understand why other people would do things in a different way.
Around 2009 I was on Virgin Mobile here in canada, and they were actually fantastic. They were bought out by Bell Canada and immediately the prices didn't just go up, but a lot of the really nice prepaid phone plans immediately went away.
So I absolutely can relate to what you're saying. Thankfully my phone company these days is a municipal phone company and while imperfect, I'm reasonably happy with their service and even the prophets just go back to the city.

Everyone has to be very careful about saying that this or that is a war crime, because nothing is a war crime unless you are at War.
It's the same as saying if someone trained really hard and was able to run at 40 mph, and they ran down a street whose speed limit was 30 mph, you can't give them a ticket or take away their driver's license, because they weren't driving a car, they were running the laws against going faster than 30 mph are about cars not people.
An industrial site is unable to consume water without a permit, but if you were to drink water you don't need a permit because you're not an industrial site.
If you take stuff that isn't a war crime to ecological extreme, then everyone should be wearing a uniform, and not wearing a uniform is a war crime. So are we going to mandate that everyone wear uniforms corresponding to their citizenship? Probably not.
I didn't like people being forced to wear masks, I opposed it, I don't need it to the trucker convoy twice before the government threatened to seize my bank accounts, but claiming that it was a war crime just doesn't make a whole lot of sense because it had nothing to do with a war.

Turley is a great commentator. I see his articles through the rss feed on his own site, as well as on reason (though reason is mostly tds, they have one or two good writers)
I figure more or less once? You cook it on one side, then when it's good you flip it and get the other side, and you're good.
When I'm making bacon I'm usually making a lot so I have the pan set up as sort of a conveyor belt where you take the cooked bacon off one side and add an uncooked piece of bacon to the other side.

Even if you actually do get the article, academic writing is done in such an obtuse way that even if you're a subject matter expert in practice you might not be able to figure out what the hell they're talking about.
Inflation is a reality for literally everyone, so blame the governments that drive inflation.
For the most part, in most places mobile phone service prices have improved a lot since 2009.

If there's one thing the English are good at, it's discriminating against indigenous populations. It's just that they don't really have that many other indigenous populations left to discriminate against.
Just as relevant as it ever was.
The most I do to people who keep posting things I can't stand is unfollow. For woodchipper themed stuff, I'll obviously strip media. But blocking people? Weak and sad.
