but now we have a scapegoat

I mean, if we genuinely had a significant amount of local, state and federal law makers that cared about protecting their constituents instead of whatever the fuck they are doing now, we could have some accountability.

I’m a little biased but I do look down on men that lack any handyman skills

That is a lot biased to the point that you can’t even see that other men’s lives may have put them in a position of not learning those things or even wanting to learn those things. It’s great that you know how to do those things but just because someone has a penis doesn’t mean they have to learn how to be handy. That doesn’t make them any less of a man, just different from you.

That is true it is a big part of society and how to get along, and you would think that because this is one of the foundations of this society it would be a bigger part of someone’s education. This shouldn’t be something people should have to figure out on their own in order to feed themselves and their family

One semester of Schmooze 101 could go along way in helping an awkward yet brilliant scientist get the funding they need.

Damn at just 5 ft most of southern Louisiana is completely submerged. And these are probably not the wealthiest people so where do they go? Do they live in FEMA trailers further in land? Do we as a country have a contingency plan for this ? I doubt it but I hope I’m wrong.

I mean there probably are enough homes to help these people but that may cut into Blackrock’s rental profit so that’s out of the question…

The more I look at this map the more overwhelmed I get at the number of people that will be displaced at just 5 ft.

Where does Florida Man ™️ go when his trailer is underwater? Is he now Georgia Man or Mississippi Man?

This is a migration that I don’t think people want

Yeah but people and corporations would have to change and that’s too difficult instead we should do something easy like colonize another planet. /s

I’ve been on both sides of this meme

The interesting thing was she was/is a middle school teacher. You’d think she would encourage questions, not just look it up.

But I guess she was trying to help me not be ignorant because I was just killing time … at a party

reminds me of a story:

Got invited to a dinner party of people I didn’t know well, they were friends of my then girlfriend.

So we were sitting around before dinner chatting and drinking and I brought up a question about something that we were all talking about. I don’t remember what it was but the point was just to keep conversation going and to interact with people. BUT one lady just looked at me and said “why don’t you just Google it?!” Shut down conversation completely.

Sure I could Google it Karen but that doesn’t make for good conversation!

I remember that game. My dad got it from a very conservative/racist family member - with a note that read something like “too bad I’m white and have to work for my money.”

I don’t think my dad ever talked to him again.

This is the most capitalistic game on the market and you still get a $200 UBI

If I’m having a conversation with someone and they start looking at their phone while I’m talking, I just stop talking and stare at them. More than a few times I’ve been told “keep going I’m listening” I don’t, I just let them finish and only start talking again when the set the phone down.

It’s very passive aggressive but it does make the other person feel a bit uncomfortable.

If I did my napkin math right (which is suspect) from January 2020 to December 2023 the Dow Jones had an ~33% increase.
