I switched from an early shift to a late shift in January. I get more sleep at night and am more productive during the day. I recognize that this may put me in a minority, but my quality of life has improved.

People lived waaaaaaaay before paper money, so yeah.

Nice quote, @flume! Nice thread, @ivankiss! I can definitely see how this has been relevant in my direct experience.

Typical day: wake up at 10:00 walk dog/feed dog/eat breakfast/bathe/make food for the day/brush teeth leave for work at 11:30 work from 12:00 to 22:00 get home at 22:30 walk dog/feed dog do whatever from 23:00 to 2:00 sleep

Pretty much what happens in Idiocracy. I’m one of those selfish people who wants sex and fun times, but no kids. It’s just my perspective on life. I’m not sure if I’d be a good or bad parent, but I don’t want to find out the hard way. It’s not a big deal in the big picture.

Stranger than fiction, ain’t it?

This makes Biden look bad compared to a good candidate for President, which Biden never really was. Compared to Trump, it’s alright. ??‍♂️

I’m not surprised by any of it. That video is entirely playing into my confirmation bias. As far as convincing somebody who’s just as fervent in their belief that Trump is a good president and had his second term stolen? Not interested. If someone hasn’t seen how bad Trump is by now, they aren’t going to. And that’s ok. It’s still a free country where you can believe what you want. It’s not my job to change their minds.

I think the closest example of that is Whole Foods. Being filthy rich or having a monopoly are concepts that are transcended in stage green because they are seen as greedy and unsustainable. A stage green monopoly is oxymoronic.

It depends on how open-minded the atheist is. It doesn’t matter what practices they do or what experiences they have if they consistently reject the concept of God throughout.

If so, than you’ve really outdone yourself.

Saw a funny NSFW meme during work.

The whole universe is a lot to take in and process, huh? Good thing it’s actually nothing!

Beautiful!

NO SOUP FOR YOU

The government isn’t telling people how to be healthy. The government is telling people how to reduce the spread of a virus. People are free to live as they want. Why should a government need to legislate or enforce healthy habits?

If infinity exists, but no one is there to experience it, is it still infinity?

Some people don’t see politics as necessary to their survival. It’s just a perspective.

Talk is cheap.

Glad to hear it!

clickbait?

There are a couple ways to force it to change. If you make any of the outlying territories or Washington D.C. into a state, that’s 2 more senators each. For any of those senators to be Republicans, they would need a platform that appeals more to liberals. Otherwise, good luck ever having a senate majority again. Also, the change that has slowly been occurring this past decade is liberals moving to Texas and further urbanization with more Texans leaning left. Trump had a comfortable margin of victory this election, but not YUUUUUGE. As long as people keep moving in, the chances of Republicans relying on Texas votes diminish with each election cycle. And the same could be said for Florida to a lesser degree. Either of these would force Republicans to change and stay relevant or bury them.
