I'm in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I'm mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don't last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever.

Yeah yeah, I know, it's probably just capitalism shitting it up on purpose for profit. And bulb science is probably solid, I guess. I'm just pissed off that I just barely managed to scrape through this pay period with $2.78 left in the bank before I default on my mortgage.

Anyway, any lightbulb science comrades got any info?

Why is criticism reserved only for the one that did not start the current war?

Probably because none of us live in Russia, so criticizing them is a waste of time. Of course they suck, but there's nothing we can do about it. Nobody in Russia is ever going to read our criticism.

We do, however, mostly live in NATO-aligned countries. We CAN affect change in our own countries. That is a productive conversation to have.

Can you show in what way is Ukraine more right-wing than Russia?

Nobody is claiming that. You're having an argument with a guy you made up.

It's mid. You aren't missing much. It's 90% flash, 10% substance. Unless you've been a Minsk & Boo Stan waiting in the shadows for 25 years.

Personally I'd go steal Disco Elysium again. Or do the free-to-play class stories in Star Wars: the Old Republic. Light side Sith Warrior, and any alignment Imperial Agent are pretty awesome self-contained stories.

(That's the gag. The article talks about an annual $800 travel/child care/wellness allowance like it's the solution to this non-problem.)

Just give them a child care. What could it cost? $800 a year?

It's the first time it's happened throughout our entire extended family.

Did they at least one-shot the quest giver?

As an enlightened political centrist, I would only eat at Them-Person Hooters. I inappropriately sexualize ALL genders!

I am very intelligent. very-intelligent

We've got our boosters scheduled for the week before school starts up. im-doing-my-part

We won't be making the kids mask up again this year, though. Not because they don't need to (they do), but because they're old enough that bullying includes violence. Especially for a trans teenager.

Living in Hellworld is awesome! agony-deep

In fairness, ol' Joe just learned about the Tikky Tockies, so he thinks China is all clocks and timers now.

A direct cremation plan. And instructions to not have your ashes interred in a graveyard or funeral home. It'll save your loved ones thousands of dollars, and save them from being exploited by the multi-billion dollar funeral industry.

He's still writing editorials in the Canadian newspaper he definitely doesn't own, while being an American citizen, this whole time! You rubes! You absolute goons!
