Valid.

The immaturity of California’s homeowners and politicians is astounding. How many ways do they need to be told that wood-frame houses in the mountains are not insurable and no amount of politico-financial engineering can change that? The insurers are the only adults left in the room. Gift link:

Better if you mute the soulless narration.

Turns out the “brief period” equaled 17 whole minutes.

"no swearing in school" my god just quit and go to another school man, there is no coming back from this here

I spent a bunch of the Olympics trying to convince myself it's ok if Americans win things because the athletes aren't the politicians but then Kash Patel parties in the locker room and the White House does this

In the big picture, it might be luckier for us if he bombed the US; at least that way Americans would notice.

If we're lucky. If we're unlucky, something in this country.

"Public safety"

Think of this before you upload your medical records to chatbots as Musk, Altman and other psychopaths want you to.

He was there for years, grew quite popular with young & old alike, and never stopped being groovy.

I'll never forget the 1st homily from our new, young, "hippie" priest c 1973 or thereabouts, wherein he leapt from the top altar step to the bottom while shouting, "JESUS IS LIKE SUPERMAN!" The old folks laughed, but talked about it for weeks, which is more than can be said of the typical homily.

Another reason you should transfer all money from PayPal to your bank account every single day. Never leave more money in PayPal than you can afford to lose.

It's garbage. It's shit. It's noise. It's paint hurled at a canvas. It's an overflowing toilet. It's hated by anyone who knows anything about art. It enriches fascists. It ignores consent and good taste. It's stupid. It's bad. It's a disease. It's random. It reeks. It's unwelcome. It's everywhere.

Another nice thing about living in the country is NEVER seeing one of these things except sometimes when I have to go into Seattle. Out here, people need actual functional trucks.

This would be like if the management of an RPG company demanded all employees make all decisions by rolling dice.

"Company which demands employees not think, but instead base decisions on autocomplete, is crumbling." Gee, what a surprise. Who could EVER have predicted this?

There will be future PhD dissertations on why the entire Establishment refused to recognize Trump's severe and obvious mental illness.

Technically, anyone who has a septic tank buries their feces.

Far out.

Timeline cleanse.

Just a tense error. 😉

Scrolled too fast and thought this was an egg 😂

One Year Ago Yesterday: "To 'live' in the biological sense while being denied volition, agency and the control of one’s own body and mind is not to be a man or woman; it is to be the equivalent of a cabbage or a sponge, a thing without freedom, dignity or humanity." maggiemcneill.com/2025/02/20/t...

As Discord stuff is up on the vtuber feed a good reminder that Persona and Palantir are connected. Learn who Peter Thiel is. Age verification bills have nothing to do with "kids' safety" on the contrary, violating privacy and collecting biometrics is endangering kids and former kids alike.

Minimum 20 hells plus a lot of secret side hells

There are like, SO many levels of hell in Buddhism it even scares Catholics

Would you believe...30 years? Would you believe...50 years if you're lucky?

You forgot the words "without food or water" after "room".

i don't know why every article about them doesn't include "Palantir, the company named after the fictional artifact used to spy on and corrupt its users" except i do know why, and it's not character limits
