DEPLOYMENT OF THE EMERGENCY BACKUP HYDRAULIC PISS CANNONS WRIST MOUNTED EDITION AT READY

if the phone actually was ip68 rated, that means for apple it's at minimum iphone 12, but for droid could go back to galaxy S5 lmao

but wait

battery failures like that usually take a good 6-7 years in phones susceptible to them, and only a few phones have them commonly occur

so either the dev is a dipshit who sank his phone in the pool, or a dipshit using a severely outdated phone so old that it has more holes than a furry con

I... you didn't even read the article. this is just incredible. you read the headline, concocted a bad guy to Be Mad At And Post About, then are finding yourself so aghast that you're getting pushback that your monocle just flung itself from your face in disbelief

fetterman himself shouldn't be operating machinery so that probably says something

fetterman worships bluey. platner probably worships bingo. because in this timeline everything is capable of becoming worse

I keep fucking telling people it's all the obama administration's fault. his CIA sank far fewer windowless vans off the virginia coast and they were too often unfilled. clinton knew how to get things done. the obama CIA allowed gender to be invented

well you see, it's obvious once you think about it

the democrats haven't been able to crack maine in decades

so they made a deal with the devil to finally get a senate candidate who could defeat susan collins after some 30 years

unfortunately for them (and everyone) the devil is susan collins

feeling this being of a particularly cunty strain of woman myself

people can always do worse

BUT THEN THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AND THERE'S NOBODY TO SELL RADIATION BUNKERS AND METAL DETECTORS TO AND ALSO NOBODY TO BUY INNUMERABLE PRODUCTS CAPITALIZING ON COLD WAR NOSTALGIA OR HYSTERIA. WE WOULD NEVER GET STRANGER THINGS AND THEN WHAT

for a world where nazism is viewed as so bad we sure do like thinking about how the world would be if it won. more world building effort has been devoted to that fantasy than has been devoted to the entire middle east

everyone just does alt history now because it's much more fun to write Yet Another Book About How The World Would Be If Germany Won than it is to slog through idiots arguing whether the doctors plot was antisemitism or not

just a dumb statement to make on social media from her position, getting the numbers wrong and having her numbers based on theory that's contentious among her scholarly peers let alone the public. disgraceful

there is no denying the antisemitism of stalin and it can pretty easily be argued that the first famine, while not caused by him directly, was weaponized against ukraine and other regions either as class or ethnic massacre, ie the holodomor. she can believe that, but the numbers still don't compare

the first famine was incompetence not malice, though undeniable stalin prioritized urban workers over peasantry because of his vision of the soviet union being a fully industrialized global power. equating bad policy with hitler's flat-out indiscriminate slaughter of all by ethnicity is just bananas

what the fuck is happening at mcgill?? first quebec goes all in on racism with the hijab/turban ban for any public servants (incl teachers) now we got this broad as a prof who must be counting the 1930s famine together with the purges and second famine to get her numbers basis

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

another way to frame it is that his excommunication would cost him some catholics' votes, but in a general election it would gain him no votes from any demographic except for a few complete edgelords who would think "whoa, excommunicated by the catholic church. cool" yet haven't read the bible

exactly. sure catholics are not homogeneous in intentions or faith or association with politics. but it's undeniable that being excommunicated would put a dent in voting numbers among non-evangelicals. easily a few %. more than enough to have swung any of the last few elections

leave it to people who are a part of what has to be the most materialistic community I have ever witnessed to make character judgements based on someone's ability or inability to pay off their debt

my credit score was 827 last year because I had no debt. it's currently 688 because I have around $19k in CC/BLOC balances from business expenses. oh no. my morality has plummeted, I'm a degenerate

the score doesn't count the $120k in illiquid investments or $700k of inventory

the furries who I am sure never paid for a fursuit or telegram stickers or whatever using PayPal funded by CC, just need to read what I just posted in a stancil thread to understand that debt is not some barometer of moral character

all they would need to do is make it inconvenient enough to open the door while the ignition is on to clear the threshold of laziness

push button start mechanisms are a tremendous mistake but give car manufacturers an easier opportunity to prevent easy gas door opening while the ignition is engaged

I did it once because the car's starter was on its way out and I had to whack it with a hammer, sometimes for 40+ minutes, to get the bendix clear so it'd start again lol

what if the arguing on bluesky is a form of sex to such people

and also I did not consent to be involved in their kink

so this situation disproportionately benefitted and continues to benefit everyone above a certain credit score while those below become permanently locked out. it dramatically increases the visibility of class divide that was always there but was low key before.

the problem is that we had a fairly long period where it was literally idiotic NOT to debt finance investment assets like stocks or a home, due to interest rates being so low, now followed by inflation reducing the remaining debt burden

but having the ability to incur debt required creditworthiness

the inequality reached stupendous levels of gauche during and after the pandemic
