I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

My dad was a Coastie. He signed up during the Vietnam war. He liked to say ‘we SAVE lives’.

Thank you for this.

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

hey! I resemble those remarks!

I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.

Changing manufacturing sites requires a submission. You have to prove safety and efficacy.

Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma’s to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

Just in time for the child.labor.

Absolutely not, I’m a random speculating wildly over here. I thought that was the dude with the sunglasses with his back to the car. Rewatching he has different pants.

That group of guys walking away after the car pulls away were plain clothed officers. At least thats what it looks like to me.

The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, but I’d bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.

I honestly have never been into an apple store. Why would we want this?

The vagueness of this statement is pretty telling of the competence of these ‘founders’. Rich assholes who have a ‘vision’ and make people who actually work figure out what the fuck is going on.

Masks work too though.

I associate it with “The Space Merchants” and their corporate congress.

It’s a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat… Really good read.

My brother loves his xterra so much he is on his 3rd (first was an accident, second went to the ex in the divorce). I rarely ride in it, but it seems kinda like a rattle trap to me. I dont know how much of that is his abuse and how much is the car.

From the Reuters article on the same topic:

Trump made several visits to cities with large Arab American and Muslim populations, include a stop in Dearborn, a majority Arab city, where he said he loved Muslims, and Pittsburgh, where he called Muslims for Trump “a beautiful movement. They want peace. They want stability.”

‘They will be peaceful when they are dead’

that would make someone a real bastard…
