The heritage foundation has a plan. Why come up with your own when someone has already done the work for you?

I think it started with people saying "I would like to (do something very illegal) to (some person) in Minecraft." Thinking that saying "in Minecraft" would shield them from any repercussions because they only wanted to do it in a simulated environment. Eventually some people would just shorten it to things like "...in Minecraft" and leave the obvious part unsaid.

No, that's what you're saying now that you're backtracking.

You started by justifying what was in the tweet OP posted by saying you've got a "paradigm" because you were into it before it was cool or whatever.

Just own your weebness.

Again, bullshit.

Almost every fansub bootleg I got back in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s had an English name, even if it was just a direct translation.

This shit is a recent uberweeb phenomenon.

Exactly. If you want to be a goofy weeb and use the Japanese names for well known (by their English names) anime and sprinkle Japanese words into everyday conversations, go for it, whatever makes you happy.

But don't try to act like you're some og that got bootlegs from Japan before there were subs/dubs and did the translation by hand.

I love these guys, and all the conspiracy or conspiracy adjacent people (as long as they're mostly harmless.)

I'm jealous of all of them. The world they live in is so much more interesting than mine.

Saying something happened is not an example.

Which episode has "a 2020 style pronoun talk?"

Which episode has a plot involving Stamets and Culber that wouldn't be essentially unchanged if it was a heterosexual relationship?

I will go rewatch them now and come back and apologize if these things actually exist.

If you want to know how bad we're being fucked, search for the PPI, the producer price index. CPI, the one we always hear about, is the measure of inflation to us, the consumer. The PPI is the measure of inflation to producers, what they pay for goods and services to produce the goods and services we buy.

The PPI has been back to "normal" for a while now. Pretty much as soon as the post COVID logistics issues were mostly ironed out. The difference between PPI and CPI changes is pure profit.

We don't get daily articles on the PPI though, I wonder why.

Edit: tell people about PPI whenever you can, online or off, the more people know, the better. It's easy enough to say inflation is just down to greed but being able to back it up by comparing two simple charts will help people really understand.

I'm one of the lucky 10,000 that just learned her name wasn't spelled Olive Oil.

The footprints of chargers and gas stations aren't the same though. A lot of places I go have a row of 8-10 spots with chargers. No added footprint really, just installed at the front of the spot. Compare that to an 8-10 pump gas station, even without a convenience store. If you removed a gas station and replaced it with rows of spaces with chargers I think you'd get more cars through over a given period of time.

Me and everybody I know are doing great. My empirical evidence seems to disagree with yours.

Too bad nothing can be done about that. If only someone, maybe a government agency, could collect all the data and determine how the country is doing as a whole.

So I can gamble, drive an exotic car on a track, operate heavy machinery, and fire automatic weapons all in one weekend? I think it's time for a trip.
