    They surpsingly release most methane through burping, not farting. Even more surprising is that they burp so much methane that it is measurable from space

    These might just be some of the dumbest opinions I've heard in a while, and I'm actually impressed you were able to create a worldview that supports those inane ramblings.

    Last night, I tripped and busted my chin open and had go to my local ER. One of the nurses treating me was limping around room-to-room treating patients despite breaking her foot that morning. Came to work anyways. Workers don't just deserve better, they need better.

    Wouldn't have been much more surprised if he suggested just turning the forests into a golf course. Especially since he thinks the water would be "free".

    I generally agree with you, but I think you missed the mark here. People who manage to buy a used car that they may need to get by are not the issue here. I hate cars and car dependant cities, but also have a lease on a used one that I can barely afford because the town I'm in right now is 100% carbrained. When I lived in the city, I was proud not to own a car. I also currently don't have the money for it in my budget, so my quality of life has taken a significant hit by this necessary purchase (though it would be much worse without it). I live paycheck-to-paycheck right now too.

    I have an Asustor Drivestor 2 and a 4tb Seagate NAS HDD. IIRC, it was around $300 total. I've only been using it for a few months, but it's an easily expandable setup if you want to add more storage later!

    There is no cheaper subscription. The current prime sub gets adds added. Ad-free will cost more then the current ad-free subscription. "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

    No Labels is an astroturf group that aims to divide the dem vote. It is NOT a legitimate option for those who want to advance progressive policies. They do not disclose their funding and investigations have found that a large donor was Harlan Crowe; the billionaire who bought InJustice Thomace.

    Maybe someone should challenge dem leadership, but splitting the vote with a party backed by far-right billionaires isn't the answer. It's the fucking problem.

    This meme isn't funny at all, I agree. I sometimes struggle to get healthy options because the prices around me keep going up. I've switched to cheaper grocery stores, got good at cooking, buy store brands, but I have to keep saying "that's too expensive now, better buy something cheaper". I don't eat a lot of processed food, but I also have a million other things to do each day, and though I'm skilled at cooking, I barely have the time. And, many people have it far harder than I do. A lot of people in this thread are too busy laughing at the shit joke to realize it's punching down and blaming the poor for being poor.

    “We were very wealthy,” says Errol Musk. “We had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe.”

    With one person holding the money in place, another other would slam the door.

    “And then there'd still be all these notes sticking out and we'd sort of pull them out and put them in our pockets.”

    You are willfully ignorant.

    And the shit about ceiling fans... Those new regulations are a win for everyone but shitty bootleg fan makers. No one is trying to "take their ceiling fans away," this is about making them better and cheaper. But, of course they hate that, too. If Biden said, "stop running your A/C with all of your windows open," Ted would complain about that next.

    I'll never forget the reason one boomer told me. They used to be a "leftist" hippy, but is now your typical conservative sucker. When I asked what happened to cause that change, I got the answer, "Just stopped caring about others." That's exaxtly the attitude you're describing.

    What's with all the NordVPN hate?

    I see people say that NordVPN is a bad choice all the time, but I've never seen any credible evidence that they're not trustworthy. Can anyone provide any sources with valid reasons to avoid their service? I only know that they had some servers hacked in 2018, but it seems as though they took that very seriously and upgraded their hardware and encryption accordingly. I'm just trying to decide if I want to start looking at alternatives, but honestly I'm pretty satisfied with my experience so far.
