  • Those in power will never allow those without to simply vote their way out of the traps. Whoever gets voted in later this year will simply be another head of the same monster.

    However, the first commenter has merit. We’re stuck in this awful system and need to do our best to set ourselves up for success.

    Unfortunately, luck plays such a huge part. Sacrifice and save and struggle to put away even a small amount, and one drunk driver can drain your account. No fault of your own, and now you’re on the brink of homelessness.

    The answer is in no way at the ballot box.

    Back pain is a given, even if the child and/or halfling stands on the bar as intended. There needs to be a way to distribute the weight to one’s hips, like a hiking backpack or SCBA. The shoulders and spine should be used to keep the halfling stable, and not be used to support their weight.





  • What a garbage article. It makes it seem like the consequences of Israel’s genocide is actually a masterful gambit of Iran using militia groups to tighten a noose on Israel. It fails to mention the genocide at all. Also the way it weaves in the threat of war with China, and hints at nuclear war, is peak fearmongering and sabrerattling. I figured Forbes would be a shitty source, and I was not surprised.

    The whole article is based on saying that war is unavoidable, but also fails to mention that those same Iranian backed militias have all said they would cease aggression if the genocide stopped. Israel’s commitment to this genocide is the only thing that guarantees further war.




  • There’s a pest control salesman who goes door to door every year, who I can’t stand. Not only does he say outright incorrect things, but he can’t take no for an answer. Every polite refusal turns into, “You know what, we can knock 80 bucks off that right now” or “How about we just make the first month free.”

    Next time he comes knocking, I’m going to be immediately upfront. I’m not interested in paying money to spray poison, that will end up in the canal and the river, to kill bugs that birds and frogs and bats could be eating.
