Oh yeah, I see it now here in OPs video. So it’s not just the lap siding upper portion that was built, the entire lower portion was is new also, that’s even more terrible. Why isn’t it all masonry, they must not have had enough money. I still think I would have left the original stairs and just focused on the interior.

That really is an unfortunate title.

I don’t understand this at all. Why add anything if you’re going to add this? The shortest space is shorter than the entry door, so it can’t be being used for anything. Just remake the interior to be a really awesome small space. Looks like it’s gone to shit too.

Yep not to mention that if you manage to have a good garden when SHTF you’re just the first target for the raiders.

There is an excellent, practical book about surviving economic collapse by someone who went through it in Argentina.

What’s their actual outlook on this, are they saying that charity causes dependence or what the fuck is it - I’m guessing this is the natural endpoint of the Ayn Rand “virtue of selfishness” bullshit that these predators are using to sound like members of a rigorous scientific libertarian intelligentsia instead of just run of the mill filthy-rich dipshits.

If we ever get a progressive government with a real appetite for change, this company (and lots of others like it) should be fully nationalized as an example of what could happen to companies that attempt to profit from buying the government.

haha thanks but part of my prior programming was to read meta commentary about the Bible as well. I’ve read more commentary about Matthew (not to mention Mark, Luke and John) than I have read of the Bible itself.

In my studied opinion, it’s not worth that kind of attention, nothing in the Bible is. I promise you I won’t waste another second of my life reading any more of it and I truly suggest that no one else does either.

Sure I’ve got trauma, but suggesting I’m blinded by it is some apologist bullshit. It’s all boring AF.

You’re a “hardcore atheist” are you? I find that fairly shocking. I’m reminded of a quote from the book Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh: “He seems deeply interested in Church matters. Are you quite sure he is right in the head? I have noticed again and again since I have been in the Church that lay interest in ecclesiastical matters is often a prelude to insanity.”

whether you’re religious or not, it’s a really interesting canon

As someone who has read the entire Bible more than once due to a strict religious upbringing: what the fuck are you on about. There’s nothing in any way interesting about it. It’s simplistic, barbaric - and worse - BORING - and loathsome from front to back. It’s not particularly original or novel nor does it in any way recommend itself unless you are a fan of misogyny, slavery, murder and outright genocide.

in this interesting canon you will read about the God that murdered a baby because its father committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 12:1-24). The God that snuffed out the lives of 42 children for calling one of His prophets “old bald head” (2 Kings 2:23,24). The God who kills people for picking up sticks on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36) and for trying out of reflex to keep the Ark of the Covenant from falling off an oxcart (2 Samuel 6:6,7). The same God who commands His followers to slaughter every living Hittite without mercy, women and children slaughtered in a bloody rampage (Deuteronomy 20:15-18). The God who destroyed the lives of everyone in the entire cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, though sparing the life of the “righteous” man Lot, who was so “tormented” by the “lawless deeds” and “loose conduct” of the Sodomites that he got completely shitfaced one night and knocked up both his daughters. (2 Peter 2:7,8; Genesis 19:30-38). The God who consigned all of humanity to live in misery and suffering until their pathetic death ends it all because two people ate a piece of fruit they were told not to eat (Romans 5:12). The same God that had His favorite Son murdered by torture, nailed to a piece of wood in order to restore what He took away in the first place (Genesis 3:22).

SO INTERESTING!

Yep this is the real answer. The real answer is “we’ve managed to use money to work the system so only people we target will be subject to consequences.”

Yeah it’s Luigi Mangione Fever sparking the class war, not the morbidly wealthy CEOs fucking us all off to die. Typical new MAGA MSM bullshit headline.

Meta [just had] a record $56.3B quarter maybe?

It’s more rigged than anybody wants to admit. It was down 500 today. It will be up 600 tomorrow.

In the kangaroo court in which a mob ousted me, Wikipedia’s administrators showed that they don’t appear to value details like formal charges, a designated prosecutor, basic decorum, distinction between prosecution and judge, dispassionate adjudication, and so forth

These hypocrite fucks always rail off at the mouth about how abused they are… and it’s always just to get their foot in the door. Once they run the show, they rewrite history, dole out all the abuse they want and face zero repercussions. Intolerant shits that the rest of us simply must tolerate. Well go fuck yourself Larry Sanger. The world doesn’t need more right-wing bullshit.

I mostly used postgres in my work but we had one master server that had to be oracle for reasons so I took a class. The class mostly taught me that I wanted nothing to do with oracle.

Uh, no. If that cat didn’t want to be there, it wouldn’t fuckin’ be there. Dude’s high AF on opium, he couldn’t stop that cat if he wanted to and it would be a bad idea for him to try it in any case.

Sorry, Scottsdale is a dealbreaker.

I find it difficult to believe that a 1991 Geo Metro could possibly be that advanced.

Every time I say this shit I get this comment or one like it. Since 2014. I invite you to save this thread and come back and make me feel like a complete moron when it happens.

Edit: Anyone reading this: read the book - for chrissakes it’s more than 10 years old now. You might come back from it thinking the same thing its author thinks

Self-aware enough to realize he’s getting checked out, 8/10… Imma press X to doubt.

I like it here on Omicron Ceti III Jim!
