I got that ‘just one more level’ in my game but have sacrificed sleep I need for work in the morning. Huzzah!

This comic illustrates my internal struggle to get along with my trump bootlicker coworkers.

I have to schmooze a little bit to keep the working relationship running, but I feel disgusted every single day when the little hints of what they stand for peek out.

So not just me

Good to know I’m not the only sufferer of wife having cold feet

The brain drain has begun.

What a smart long term move, alienating all the smart people into leaving

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

Oh she’s using a new picture now?

I’ll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!

The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals

The scope is thankfully limited only to CDC scientists.

Not that this makes it good news by any stretch.

This is going to push research money squarely under the thumb of corporate control, which is of course the aim here. Privatize everything.

I do know scientists hate having their work paywalled or censored so I’d expect sci-hub to get a lot more popular real quick, but many will definitely self censor their official publications to keep their jobs til orange hitler shoots himself in a bunker somewhere.

Yellow star is so last world war.

It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around

All babies looks ugly to me

Yeah this is in line with how I see babies and kids, so that’s gonna explain some of it. It’s definitely an unwritten rule to say babies are cute.

Though my cousin had a couple kids and the youngest was the exception to the rule when he was like 2-6, just the cutest little thing.

So I don’t know.

It goes a step beyond for me.

I look at kid pictures of myself and think I was an ugly looking baby. Everyone else thinks I was cute. Which I take to mean everyone is being polite, but I couldn’t care less because I don’t remember being that kid whatsoever.

Jojoba oil. I recommend getting it pure and not mixed with other ingredients.

I started using this for my face when I lived with very dry and cold winters. Liked it so much that it’s replaced moisturizers for me basically permanently despite moving away from those brutal winters. It’s amazing because it doesn’t clog pores and cause breakouts, and it absorbs into my beard and keeps things from being itchy.

If you pick option number 1, you have the added choice of haunting your shitty family as revenge

You can change the app settings to English now if you update it. Should help

Idk man, me being impressed that these folks are able to afford groceries is pretty basic.

In the context of just what’s happening in the past day and even the post we’re discussing this in, I don’t think it’s taking it too far to see that china is doing better for their citizens in some ways than we are. In basic bitch ways like affordable housing or public transportation

Im quite enjoying rednote, which I joined up just for to be a spectator to all the TikTok people moving over. What I didn’t expect was to see how well the average Chinese lives, and in contrast just how poorly we live despite also having a wealthy government.

If anything has pushed me further left, it’s that

If that’s his 5d chess plan then he’s dumb as shit.

Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.

*Also battery energy density isn’t capable of hauling big loads for long distances
