it makes me happy that Batdad got to voice Batman later.

The revolution will be live-streamed.

i don’t feel tardy.

it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.

it’s pork dog, like many things it needs to be cooked properly.

if you want to risk it for undercooked meat, that’s on you. but certain things need to be sanitized. cooking does that. there are many ways to have chewy, yet properly cooked bacon.

people think immortality is a gift.

but it is a curse.

immortal bacon would be no different.

the times we don’t have bacon, give delicious flavor to the times when we do. if it was bacon time, all the time, then the phrase ‘bacon time’ would lose it’s significance.

i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.

The cost of cigs is also artificially inflated in many places. I’m glad to see less of the younger crowd smoking, that’s a good thing. But doing it in these ways just feels plain un-American.

We let an awful lot of things that are bad for us slide, because the effects aren’t as visible.

phones and tablets are fine for consuming media. they are noticeably worse at creating it.

i couldn’t imagine typing out long responses, sometimes with links, with a phone or tablet.

as for how many consumers still use PCs, hard to say. i know i don’t go a single day without using mine. whether it’s to play a game, type up a guide for someone to do something, or whatever else. on the flip of that, i also own a ultrabook that i use when i’m away from home. it’s capable of doing many things, but it’s no where near as capable as my desktop setup.

let’s be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.

they’re commonly known as busy bowls.

we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.

diving bell maybe?

as much as i disagree with him on certain things, Mike Rowe had a good point with a vid he did a long time ago. sometimes your passion isn’t what will pay what you need. it can still be your passion, but you might need to look elsewhere for what you want to do for a living. what he was getting at was to not overlook new things, that you might actually like as a job, even if it wasn’t your passion.

for example, few people choose HVAC repair as a passion, but it pays well, and might be stimulating for someone looking for a technical type job.

personally my passion is working with computers, but it can be hard to make a living at it, at least at a consumer level. but the thing is i really like helping the average joe find GOOD ways to spend their money. i’d have loved to have graduated college and worked on enterprise grade stuff, but i have a learning disability and can’t pass Algebra. this means i can’t get my degree.

that’s because you are the product.

like the kid that played Anakin in Star Wars. he caught so much shit over it, that he gave up acting all together.

In 2012, Lloyd explained that his decision to retire from acting in 2001 was due to bullying at school and harassment by the press, both in response to his role in The Phantom Menace.

GET YOUR VEIL OF VERONICA RIGHT HERE!

ONE OF A KIND!

GENUINE AUTHENTIC VEIL OF VERONICA!

be better all you want. but personally just fucking them up on sight would be ok with me.

let other people be better, but the being better part is what allows these kinds of people to freely march in the first place.

these people thrive on confrontation, and feel that confrontation will make others flock to their side. i think we should give them all the confrontation they want, basically at every opportunity. being better than them is good in the long run. being worse than them will get them off the streets.

this is Nashville, we can do both.

yeah, but i don’t know of any states that don’t.

these guys definitely should’ve caught a lot more hate than they did though. if some horrible accident befell those people, it’d have been a net positive for everyone else.

personally i’ve always hated Illinois Nazis, and i think i hate Nashville Nazis more.

it is true that the founding fathers could not have foreseen the invention of more modern firearms, let alone the idea of semi and fully automatic firearms. but they did clearly envision that a armed populace was a good thing. they also fairly clearly envisioned it as a equally armed type of thing. what was modern then would be considered antique and primitive just a short century later. but the spirit of the amendment still comes through fairly clearly.

in the case of modern society, fully automatic weapons are heavily regulated and are not, in general, in the hands of the populace. true some can be modified, but to be caught with such a weapon, is going to bar you from legally having any sort of firearm, as it’s a felony.

it’s whataboutism, any time someone follows up a story like this with ‘what about the time X did worse?’

it’s literally the definition of whataboutism. if it weren’t whataboutism, then we wouldn’t be talking about the IDF. we’d instead be talking about the dude pretending to be a journalist by day, and a terrorist by night.

the fact that you don’t know this means two things. either you know and are trying to deflect, or you just flat out don’t know that’s what whataboutism is.
