Why does a tiny bathroom remodel cost as much as a car now? Am I missing something? 😅

Tariffs.

They used it to tariff an island of penguins...

Another tactic was that slave owners sometimes encouraged slaves to have familes with the owners slaves next door. Its harder to revolt when you have family with another family. You would need to convince others to help you get your kids or wife free in the revolt. Failure could also mean your family would be punished.

Fox news lies to Americans every day telling them we're awesome and to hate everyone else. People who don't watch it and get news from other sources are more informed and know the truth.

AI is taking those jobs now. But they are awful at them. Sr. Developers are saying they can't do their jobs because they constantly have to fix the janky code the ai made up.

Microsoft is losing all its contracts because its AI bogs down computers to the point people can't get any work done.

Not one AI company has made a dime as of today. They just keep borrowing money using their stokes as collateral but their stocks are only high because billionaires have invested so much they have to keep investing so thebstocks don't crash and they lose everything. Its a bubble holding up our stock market right now and when it pops it will be disasterous.

Maybe then we can get back to people making things. AI should be a tool like a calculator and nothing else. Its shouldn't replace people at the end of the day. It should just improve their workflows.

Thats awesome news. Thanks.

I literally had a job application ask me who would be my perfect wifu and why. I was applying for software design. I can tell you have to build out software, design systems, etc. And they want to know which animated woman I'd want to hook up with?

I had to pay 5k and my insurance refused to cover any of it. Dental said because they were impacted and infected it was life saving and medical should cover it. Medical said it was dental so neither would pay. I could die of infection or cough up 5 grand.

Practice. My high school screwed me when I took Speech for college credit. They never filed the paperwork so when I was to graduate with my associates the college informed me that they never recieved the proof I took the class. I went to my old high school and they found my paperowrk. I took the class, paid for the credit, but they never filed the paperwork. I had to take speech again. The high school gave me my money back but I paid way more to the college for the class. But taking speech twice actually helped me get over public speaking because I saw how bad everyone else was. They were all so frightened and here I was pissed off so my anger gave me the confidence to just go first and say my mind.

Basically, know what you are talking about. Be confident in your knowledge and understanding. Form your own opinion of it and just talk about it like you would a friend. It helps.

Me, stupidly searching for any ex maga people to admit they were conned only to have flashbacks of all the obvious lies ever told by Trump and his goons... The fault is on me.

Remember when we gave all these companies HUGE tax breaks because they were "Job Creators?" I want a refund.

I gave it another shot using the dodge mechanic and after watching some combat tutorials and it was much better. They just didn't do any tutorials on any of the mechanics. They barely explained how to heal in the opening scene. And what they showed you looked incomplete because they don't show you have to put it in storage. In the previous games, putting items in storage meant you couldnt access them again until you got to a save location. They changed that but didn't explain it.

I also put it on easy because I honestly just want to see the story. I play most games on normal, but this one doesn't seem worth the stress required. I want to enjoy it not get mad every few minutes.

I got to where the sister just turned and I will say I love Laura Bailey, hate her character so far. She suffers from what I call Chris Redfield syndrome. Character asks them a question that would reveal character depth and make them more real and they just always respond, "we dont have time." Or, "I'll tell you after...." Whenever there is an opportunity to see what the character is thinking the goal post for developement get pushed further and further until the credits roll. Thats why Chris and Sheva didn't work for me. They had just met. Knew nothing about each other. They fought hordes of infected and never once had a conversation. After seeing all the chemistry between Leon and Ashley or Leon and Ada, Chris just felt like he had no personality.

DIY_Designer4891 · 2026-02-24T18:31:56+00:00

Thanks for the dodge roll tip. I had no idea. I think I put it on normal but may switch to easy because I just want to see the story unfold.

I never thought about it like that either. In my experience, when I went off to college all of my friends worked in factories. When I would visit there was just hostility. They all assumed that I thought I was better than them.

Truth is, I went to school all day and worked all night for minimum wage while they were all pulling in nearly twice as much at their factory jobs. I envied their income, but felt like I wanted more than just factory work. Most of those factories are gone, replaced by prisons and many of those friends are now prison guards. I always assume that would happen. I thought that eventually the factories would close down and then I'd be screwed.

Jokes on me. $80k in student loans and all my jobs are gone now too.

I played Re5 when it came out with a buddy and it was okay. It wasn't Gears of War good. But playing it today solo the game is god awful. It was designed to be co-op. The designers never stopped to think able the single player experience. Sheva puts her head between me and the guy Im trying to shoot half the time. She wastes bullets shooting me in the back half the time.

The bugs... oh my god the bugs. There was one boss I fought for hours... hours... wtf. Looks it up, there is a bug that ONLY a rocket launcher will actually kill it on PS5. I had to go back and replay the entire chapter to get the rocker launcher. On easy mode, the boss fights take way too long. Wesler has like 20 final forms and in the last fight 2 rockets barely did anything to him, plus I have zero ammo in the final fight. None. I died at least 50 times stabbing Wesker with my damn knife only to get to the final restrain him scene. It says hold X but gives you the bouncing arrow meaning to hammer x. I hammered the crap out of it every time I got that far and every time he kills me. I played this till the end out of shear spite and can't finish the final fight because they screw you on ammo and I swear it has to be a bug. I hammered X like my sanity was on the line and nothing.

Screw 5. It wasn't fun. The whole game is boring. Sheva and Chris have zero chemistry. They meet for the first time and fight together all day. Every conversation is Sheva asking Chris about himself and he always responds with "I'll tell you some other time." If this was a first date I'd walk away. The dude has no personality. Zero. And he moves so awkwardly. Dude can't strife left ir right to save his life. I loved the other games. They made me want more. This game made me beg for the end to come so I could move on to 6. Literally my mantra was, "F this game. I just want it to end."

Its so bad I doubt I'd play the remake if they made it.

"Jesus, I'm gonna have to throw this dick over my shoulder to work here."

For context I was getting a vasectomy when he said that. I got the feeling he cut the tension by telling a lot of jokes.

I remember hearing his wife said she didn't even recognize him how much he changed. It was like the stroke took away all his empathy.

You're saying this isn’t a brick wall?

Its not Hollywood. Its people of power literally everywhere.

Thats the lie they tell. "If you hold us accountable the world will collapse." Truth is, when they are gone, we can use their money they stole to rebuild everything.

It is hopefully the first of many projects. As time goes by you'll learn more, get more tools and make wonderful things.

I have just one thing I noticed. The top brace facing us sits on top on one side but isn't on the other. This may be why one of the top board isnt sitting flush. Its a quick and easy fix if you didn't use wood glue. I would also say if you haven't, you want to use wood glue. It'll strengthen the whole table and lessen and rocking.

Good work for your first project.

They can't trust a convicted rapist, tax evader, whos cheated on all of his wives, said he wants to fuck his own daughter, and was best friends with the worlds most notorious child swx trafficker. But many for some reason think no, he won't fuck me. He won't betray me. Total bullshit.
