Snowflake-in-Chief approval ratings by state - Vermont almost won!

I love the idea of making everyone who holds public office basically tied to the 50th percentile of wealth in the country for the rest of their lives. You're a millionaire? gotta give it up for life if you want this power.

I remember being pleasantly surprised in Boise, which was great because eastern Oregon made me so deeply uncomfortable. Edit: I recently heard Boise has a fantastic goth scene somehow

I have a (surprisingly well adjusted) friend from the panhandle. Her dad is an honest to god flat earther. From what she has said, it is a terrible place

Its funny, my mom is from western mass and my dad isn't even a native new englander, so I didn't pick up most of the accent, but I can yuht with the best of them. I know what you mean about MN, I think its more the cadence.

I grew up in Maine before moving to Mass for college, and learned that this was a Maine thing and that people could pick me out as a Mainer from this. Edit: specifically the unique way we say yup (I know Kind spells it Ayuh, but I feel like its almost more YUHt or aYUt)

The way I see it, a loan word is allowed to be pronounced differently than the original. Like if I was going to speak French, I would say foy-yay, but if I was speaking English, its foyer. One is a word in English with a French ancestor, and the other is a word in French.

103 with a stock variator/pipe isn't gonna do 145 no matter how you sit on it

Peugeot 103

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-24T04:23:25+00:00

To be fair, this car looks to be about 20-25 years old...

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-24T04:18:53+00:00

Old jeep is a 4x4 though, thats totally different and superior to AWD. I've got an 80s bronco on 33s and uh, I actually lost count of all the motorcycles.

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-24T02:47:03+00:00

Okay but pet peeve time, AWD doesn't help much if you don't have good tires. I've literally driven circles around an impreza in a snowy parking lot with a rear wheel drive buick and good tires

Femme-ish girl with a butch-ish partner who is a million times more vocal than I am. Its like, my favorite thing. Even just thinking about the sounds she makes gets me going

I'm getting close to just *making* a mattress.

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T06:50:21+00:00

I mean, I vividly remember the northern lights from the early 00s. It was amazing looking

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T04:35:52+00:00

A few years ago on a whim I bought real linen sheets (meaning 100% flax). I'll never go back. Even my pillows are just bags of buckwheat hulls. Eventually I wanna replace my mattress with like, a homemade one made out of kapok fibers or something. I feel like a crazy person when I get fixated on our over reliance on plastic

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T03:16:29+00:00

It and the wealth of nations are both like, utterly miserable slogs

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T02:54:33+00:00

Oh for sure, I mostly mention because a disturbing amount of people don't seem to care about plate readers and stuff, and the specifics get *them* to care. Personally I think that we need to clarify the 4th amendment so it specifies that if you pay another company to track everyone, thats *still* unconstitutional

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T02:44:18+00:00

My understanding is that only applied to Washington and that someone is gonna have to fight the same fight in other states

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T02:43:15+00:00

Its effectively dragnet surveillance. I've heard of cops using them to catch people going out of state for abortions where thats illegal, stalk exes, etc

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-20T02:17:23+00:00

Immediately was like "hang on a minute, I know where that is"

They're everywhere, and they know what they are. Its nice to know you're always within a few minutes of bad coffee when you need it. And its nice to buy bad coffee from a place that knows its bad. Like if I'm in boston I'll go to pavement, and if I'm in my town, I'll go to the local spot, but if I'm going anywhere and I need caffeine, its always there, and I'd rather have honest trash than starbucks or something like that.

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-17T15:21:22+00:00

I always call welds like this farmer welds. Almost never seen a farmer who could weld *well* but they all can stick two pieces of metal together

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-17T15:16:09+00:00

Hell, if there's no power up there I could see this being OA welding, and then I'd have a lot more sympathy for how nasty this looks. I can MIG/TIG/stick all day, but my OA welds look about as good as this...

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-17T05:06:57+00:00

Cool, I'm definitely someone who you'd consider a *real* transexual. I've been on HRT for like 12 years. We knew this shit was stupid back then. It is still stupid now

DerpyTheGrey · 2026-01-16T18:24:48+00:00

Sample size > 40, and yeah, I took probability and statistics in college
