I actually replaced my suv with a full sized truck last year. Funny enough my average mileage went up from 17 to 28mpg. Hybrids rule.

(Yes, 28 is still shit, but much better and more useful shit than I had before).

Because enough people believe his lies.

I don’t know what is wrong with people, it was plain as day that he was constantly lying, and everything that has come to pass was loudly broadcast during the campaign.

That and racism.

Are you saying it's crap even though the writer put skill into the unique description, but used a tool to make a picture based on it?

Yes, they are entirely different domains. Thats like saying if someone painted a very beautiful picture, with effort and detail. Then claimed authorship over stories written about the subject.

Inspiration is a real thing, and should be lauded, but it still takes skill and an eye for art to render a scene. When someone gets a tattoo, do they usually claim they were the artist, should I? I have an extremely detailed idea for one I’d like to get, colors picked out, subject, poses, etc. but I am not skilled enough to render it, nor put it on my body. I’ve got a great design, but no art.

I miss practical effects. They are just so much more raw. The highly polished CGI that is everything these days is just visually boring to look at. I am not interested in the next flashy gimmick, anything that you can dream up is now possible to show on screen, so the fast paced stupid action doesn’t hit home at all anymore.

Hegseth / Lindell. A true dream ticket if there ever was one.

The only person you will hear that from is turnip.

I do wish she had been more outspoken, but her actions spoke loud enough. Dolly has always a force for good and compassion, and the things she supported were incompatible with the hate that so many politicians dedicate themselves to.

Mine has turned every conversation into a political fight and now refuses to speak with me unless I agree with their prejudices and medical quackery.

I miss my Nokia 8210. I had a case for it that slid open like the one at the start of the matrix. Dropped it in a puddle one night, pulled it out the next morning, dried it off and it kept working just fine. Had no waterproof rating.

I waded into a pool with my supposedly waterproof iPhone in my pocket by accident and it immediately died.

Because the republicans have control over all three branches, and the party has dedicated itself to authoritarian rule under that orange asshole.

This is the government that they have been wanting for my entire life. This stupid fucking country decided to finally gift it to them.

Allen Pan still puts out something amusing once in a while.

I miss the days of 3 minutes of insanity. Now every video is 25 minutes, and it’s all personality driven. It’s turned into regular TV.

We need a classic YouTube type site back again where people share shit for the fun of sharing. Monetization killed the platform.
