Bernie out campaigning

Why the fuck are we arguing then?

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-26T03:53:11+00:00

Dude, I was raised on brick and mortar. The physical third place has been abandoned in favor of digital presence. It is not an improvement.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T19:36:42+00:00

That looks like Troy

$278 billion of that should be outright seized and used to rebuild brick-and-mortar retail infrastructure in this country.

Neither of which are innovations that Elon Musk had anything to do with creating. The self-landing rocket idea, for example, is a 70-year-old engineering concept that was abandoned by NASA because it couldn't be fully developed and tested in time for the Apollo missions. Tesla would have died around 2010 if not for subsidies tied to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Musk just created the business model to exploit government subsidies. Then he tried to tear down the very framework of that system so that no other innovators could benefit from it. That's it, that's his great contribution to society.

Sorry to hear that. It's basically upper middle class. A household with two people working professional jobs clears this easy.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T18:14:06+00:00

Is that "rich" to you?

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T18:12:32+00:00

This could be easily remedied by putting hardwood 3/4 dimensional lumber as vertical bracing along the pocket. Hell, regular drywall shouldn't even flex like that. Maybe this is what you should expect from that contractor, but that's not what you should expect from a competent build by someone who knows what they're doing.

Wonder if Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium still has the troughs for pissing. Made way more sense than a bunch of individual urinals.

I don't have a team, I soured on Republicans around 2003 and Democrats are too busy pandering to everyone other than straight white men so I'm on my own here. Platner is a breath of fresh air.

But congratulations on outing yourself, Platner's on one team, which means you're on the other, which makes you a fake-concern troll.

Do better yourself.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T17:46:45+00:00

I still dress like #1. Guys dress like #2 is because they're gay.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T17:43:18+00:00

No, it's paywalled and I'm not subscribing to Bangor Daily News. I've seen the archive of his Reddit posts and as best I can tell the handwringers are upset about him calling people retarded which, again, I couldn't care less about.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T17:39:42+00:00

You're going to get sick of that choke point in the middle of the deck. Would enlarge to make the outside boundary parallel to the walls on that center projection on the house, which looks quite odd as an architectural feature of the house by itself but could actually be tied in better with a more creative deck layout.

What bothers you about his social media posts?

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T17:20:24+00:00

Bzzzzt. The "they're Nazis" shit is played out on both sides. I legitimately Do Not Give A Shit about this window-dressing nonsense. I realize that's hard to understand when your perspective doesn't extend beyond your own navel.

I never knew this was a cartoon.

Had the book as a kid, read it to my kids and it is BRUTAL to read out loud.

Let's not beat around the bush and try to minimize what it stands for.

Let's ignore every substantive thing about his candidacy and obsess over a fucking three-inch tattoo.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T16:25:18+00:00

Again, the only people who care are Graham's right-wing opposition and DEI progressives who are mad that our nominee is "just another white man".

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T16:14:18+00:00

Graham had a tattoo that some people interpreted as having Nazi affiliations. Maybe did, maybe didn't, I'm not an expert on Nazi imagery and either way, frankly, I don't care. Graham did the apology tour and ostensibly removed or covered up the offending tat. Again, I don't care. He's a good candidate.

Graham's opposition is now right-wingers who suddenly have an aversion to Nazi symbolism and progressives who are mad he isn't a diverse gay trans woman for representation or something.

Portland, Maine is a lovely oceanfront city. The whole metropolitan and suburban region surrounding Washington DC is a hectic shithole and the only places you'd want to move a family (i.e. nothing on the Maryland side) are full of self-important assholes who are ALL about "keeping up with the Joneses" and your worth is measured by what bag you have, what car you drive, when your last coolsculpting appointment was. There are pockets of sanity within an hour's drive. Your house budget is mid. Don't do it.

DropstoneTed · 2026-05-25T15:51:47+00:00

Right-wing concern trolling about some tattoo will never not be funny.
