SARGE

I've been managing to drag some of them further left, I think, through conversation about things.

A few are 100% on board with a union as long as I keep calling it "collective bargaining" and don't use the scary U word.

A few are on board with most social safety nets, especially when they find out Healthcare would cost less than it currently costs them in taxes alone, let alone not having to pay for insurance anymore, but the second you call it socialism or use any sort of word like "welfare" then they panic.

Individually I think I'm breaking some of them, but collectively they're fucking idiots.

There's a pretty simple test, IMO

Ask a person "is bombing a school filled with children okay as long as the end goal brings about the end of the world?"

If they answer "yes" then just immediately drop them into a meat grinder and use the remains for fertilizer.

Maybe it's my cynical side, but I genuinely don't think people like that can be fixed, so while it might be considered "cruel" it's better to just put them out of everyone's (including their own) misery, a "nuthouse" just gives them a place to congregate and keep trying to spread their hate.

I honestly think it would just be the US once again attacking itself in order to justify something terrible.

I think they're implying all Jewish people are a monolith and therefore israel would never attack, because Israel is largely Jewish and wouldn't risk hurting another Jewish person in a false flag attack.

I honestly don't know how they could think a country willing to do false flags would care about hurting someone who has ties to their country's people, be it religious, ethnic, or otherwise.

Fuck, the CIA in the US has admitted to doing horrible shit to americans that got some killed. Why would Israel care if some people die who happen to share a religion with their country's people?

To anyone who thinks this is an exaggeration, remember my coworkers:

Most believe vaccines will kill you before old age does

Most believe doctors are never going to provide a real cure because then they'd be out of a job

Most believe masks make more people sick than they keep from getting sick

And most disgustingly, most of the guys I work with don't wash their hands and the ones that do usually just wash BEFORE they go, and then put their hands all over things in the bathroom, even before lunch.

If my coworkers are like this, imagine how many more people all around you every day are like that, or worse.

Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn't exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you've never seen.

Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.

This was my thought exactly.

The borg know where each cable is, and what cables go where.

Cable management is to make things easier for humans to do things.

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

Dyshan Best, 39, was shot in the back last year as he fled from officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A report released Tuesday by the state’s inspector general found that the shooting was justified because Best had a gun in his hand and the officer pursuing him had reasons to fear for his own safety.

If I shoot a rich white man in the back who is running away from me and claim I "feared for my life" I'd probably get the death penalty.

My coworkers have already managed to blame Obama for making a "shitty deal" with Iran, and Biden for not "dealing with Iran sooner"

As usual, I'm left wishing I had the money for an EV.

Yes, ideally I'd rather be able to use my bicycle and cargo trailer for shopping and public transit for work, but thats literally nonexistent.

ShittyScience: the reason for increasingly volatile weather, commonly referred to as "climate change" and "global warming", has been revealed to be Butterflies all along. They've been taking our use of pesticides personally, and are retaliating in the only way they can: by flapping their wings strategically to create specific and dangerous weather patterns.
