    Time Travel: What would you do?

    See? this is what I'm talking about. Anybody who pretends they're gonna go alter history books is full of shit. We've all got stuff much closer to home we'd like to change first. This shit is like the whole reason a person would take the risks of time travel in the first place.

    https://apnews.com/article/texas-oklahoma-louisiana-heat-wave-4b7d6ac50a50ba3386ab03ce720f12b9 I always get a good laugh out of these articles. Never once, fucking ever, has someone said "hey its hot as balls outside but lets turn off the AC because someone else might need the electricity"

    I'm torn between wanting to make fun of your Amazon addiction and wanting to comiserate with you over gaskets. Nobody in my fuckin family ever cleans the gaskets when they do dishes. I'm like am I the only one who washes dishes with my eyes open or WTF? Your solution isnt a bad idea. Gaskets...

    Seems to me like Sarah gave the explanation for all the shows mysteries this episode. A dumb, uncreative explanation delivered in the most ham handed way possible. "Hey guys maybe its" <insert oddly specific description of how it all works> As usual the possible explanations people came up...

    lol posting about a twist-based show before you've gotten to the twist part just seems destined for greatness. like the episode or hate it, you'll have to admit there was a twist in that one

    Do they have to, though, when n this timeline, Uhura is a boy? FML, I can give them a pass on a lot of things, but cmon. Uhura had hair and looked like an actual biological woman.

    Texas was the first state to recognize it as a holiday, in in 1980. Its not called Juneteenth. Its called Emancipation Day. Its right there in black and white in the text of the bill. I don't know who the fuck started calling it Juneteenth but fuck if I'm saying that even to make fun of it or...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    If I'm killing an animal I raised for food, I feel something very close to remorse. It takes an act of will to put it aside and deliberately harvest the animal. Quickly, humanely, hopefully painlessly. If I'm killing a wild animal that has caused problems on my farm, I feel completely neutral...

    Project Blue Beam is by far the most plausible explanation. Besides. What subject was ever documented exclusively on youtube and tiktok and then actually turned out to be true? Almost everything is fake and gay now, but if its only on youtube and tiktok, its especially fake and gay.

    Odd that the us line stops around 2010 while the others continue. Still, it shows a minor decrease from 1970 to that point. But I concede that the opposite has been happening elsewhere especially in developing countries.

    I'm confused, why is NDAQ down 12% while QQQ is up 0.6%? Not holding either one, just don't get the disconnect. edit to forestall the probably still inevitable: yes I understand that they are different things and am not looking for the basic description of each, but rather any speculations...

    I got audited the first year I filed schedule C. After sending them 5 fucking hundred pages of documentation, they gave me every penny plus interest. Now it just feels like a game. Whats the worst theyre gonna do, audit me? oh no

    And once you get audited once, the fear of audit goes away completely and you realize how much room for creativity there is in taxes. Especially once you toss a schedule C and a schedule F on the pile. I swear they must just use a RNG to determine who gets audited.

    If I'm an ant, from my perspective, human behavior toward ants absolutely constitutes war. Also, if I'm an ant who notices humans and has the ability to wage war, damn straight it's war, for our survival. Nobody said war only happens between equals. The existence of sentient aliens would be a...

    Yeah I don't disagree at all about the mechanics youre describing. I'm just saying that I constantly run into people who act like the decay will eat your profit if you hold longer than 1 day.

    decay over time is wildly overestimated, especially on a little barely leveraged ETF like NVDS Dont hold them years :) My NVDS is a week or so old, I'll probably sell in the next couple days. not cause holding longer would be too risky but because its already a small profit and thats my...

    UFOs are fake and gay, but if they were real, it would be hugely important for exactly this reason. Either they kill us or we kill them. The history of non-human hominids shows what happens when sentient species come into contact. Except in the case of aliens, without the occasional oops...
