Titanium camping gear could also possibly be a fit?

If it's about "saving money" (like duct tape is cheaper than a mechanic), it could be "penny wise, pound foolish"?

Not the op but everyone raves about this tofu feta whenever I make it: https://erinireland.ca/vegan-recipes/the-best-tofu-feta-ever-hands-down/

Bonus: if you have access to powdered lactic acid (e.g. Druids Grove), use 1/4 tsp of that instead of each tablespoon of lemon juice

Thoughts on mortgages (if one can afford them, of course)? Seems to me like the interest is a smaller price to pay than rent if you don't intend to move for a while

I'm diagnosed ADHD, and I suspect maybe I have the Au as well but I'm not diagnosed. I'm an extrovert in general but also kind of struggle with social interactions sometimes and I think Vyvanse gave me more energy to use for many tasks, including socializing. It felt easier to talk to people and like I was a bit more coherent and friendly and outgoing than my non medicated baseline

Xournal++ is my recommendation. It can annotate any pdf pretty easily. Just import the pdf, sign it, then export as pdf

Bush did 9/11

Besides that, love the meme

This also shows how fake prices are. They can handle their costs going up (paying more workers) without increasing prices because they know that people can't afford groceries right now.

I've definitely heard rizz from a more gen-z acquaintance of mine. He's also very much a bro type and very into hookup culture, not sure if that's related to the subgroup thing mentioned in the other comment

I fucking hate this bazinga brained "throw precaution (and/or regulations) to the wind" bullshit. I know that's like the SV MO but it makes me really just want to go out and do something really cool.

melon-musk speech-side-l-1 "Oh yeah let's just send thousands of new satellites up every year and every 5 years we'll let them burn up upon reentry and send up more!" speech-side-l-2

Another thing, and I know these techbrained libertarian types don't understand this, is that even if you accept this is something that humanity needs, you certainly don't need companies competing by each running their own satellite arrays. This is a natural monopoly to end all natural monopolies.

I'm at a loss for words with this

Love voting for the lesser of two evils candidate who won't let women wearing a hijab in to their campaign rallies! Can you imagine the lib reaction if this happened at a Trump event?

some real great takes here bootlicker

I was brought up in a household that was anti military.

Only as an adult was I able to form my own opinion.

Without a strong military in the past we would certainly not be here today and without a strong military now, who knows what other nation might decide to attack our sovereignty.

It's childish to be anti military - it shows you do not understand the interconnectedness of our society - good and bad.

It's disingenuous to ignore the effect the aggression of the cold war and its aftermath had on the current Russian situation.

Bro, I don't know what warped version of reality you live in, but without a strong American military to stand up to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, you'd be speaking Russian right now. Ukraine blew their chance to join NATO as soon as possible like everyone else did when the Cold War ended, and they are now being slaughtered en masse by Russia in their attempts to turn them into their newest southwestern oblast.

As a liberal raised during the backlash to the Iraq War, my attitude towards the Military Industrial Complex has really changed in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s seemingly inevitable invasion of Taiwan. Add in the possibility that the US could be dragged into new wars in the Middle East and even possibly South America, and I really don’t think we have the luxury to say “weapons bad, let’s not build any”.

Being the policeman of the world absolutely sucks. War absolutely sucks. But one of the best ways to prevent China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc from saying “might make right, let’s take this land and these resources from our neighbors, since no one can stop us” is for the US to say, “no, we will stop you and we have the will and the tools to easily do it.”

who's responsible for the US choosing to police the world? who-did-this

The US is the most benign empire one could wish for. History makes that plain, and just peeking over the fence at contender's tendencies and track record further reinforces that. Easy moral justification backed by actual moral justification.
