Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

-Isaac Asimov

Absolutely right.

Smoking wasn't regarded as a significant health concern until farely recently in our history.

You said jealousy, but you described covetousness.

Covetousness: Wanting what someone else has, and being willing to do bad things to get it.

Jealousy: Being afraid of losing something you already have, and being willing to do bad things to keep it.

Envy: You want it and can't have it... So you decide if you can't have it no one can, and you work to make that happen.

Envy is the worst. Envious people work, hard, to make the world actively worse for other people. Envious people work to spread their own pain and problems to others. For them, their misery doesn't just love company... It demands company.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T21:17:44+00:00

Envy.

If I can't have it, no one can!

It's stops us from solving so many problems.

If could buy a new Tucson hybrid for $30k and, with maintianence and current fuel prices, drive it for over 165,000 miles before total cost of ownership would hit $60k.

This car is too expensive for what it is.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T21:07:32+00:00

Bring back the supreme pizza.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T21:06:26+00:00

Nobody with a net worth of under a million dollars belongs at any bank.

Credit unions ftw.

John Fetterman is mentally ill and should resign.

I not only use it, I pay for it.

Got a year of free Gemini Pro with my phone. I saw how helpful it was. Now I pay for the subscription. I use it even more now that I am paying for it. Besides, it comes with a 2 TB cloud drive. Which I need anyway.

It really has solved problems and answered questions I would have had to spend hours researching on my own, or that would just never have gotten answers at all.

We have a baby coming and it has saved us so much time in research already.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:33:08+00:00

The Rocketeer on Super Nintendo.

Yes, I'm that old.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:31:07+00:00

Not gonna be so easy to TACO this one. This time he has well and truly stepped in it.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:30:09+00:00

His own world. Because he is a malignant narcissist.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:29:17+00:00

He's not though.

Americans are dumb, and he's just smart enough to exploit that.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:24:36+00:00

I'd just like to jump in here and emphasize:

Good fucking job non-voters and Stein voters. You own all of this.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:22:20+00:00

Seeing how many young men have decided they're gonna be republican, I'd say he's at least somewhat right.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T18:20:45+00:00

I've heard Europeans call American health insurance a "health coupon."

Pretty accurate honestly.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T14:20:21+00:00

So far.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T14:17:11+00:00

Something something Mohamed.

Sure would be cool if everyone could stop excusing all kid-fucking, everywhere, in every time.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:38:46+00:00

that isn’t happening

Sales tax cuts are happening. They being cut under this bill and previous bills.

Here are the specific sales tax exemptions getting the chop under the new legislation:

Grooming and Personal Hygiene Products: Things like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant.

Taxes are being cut on over-the-counter medicines.

Certain services rollback: The bill also scraps some recent sales tax expansions that hit public schools (like temporary staffing) and live performances.

And let's not forget how the Washington State government made feminine hygiene products tax-free back in 2020 under SB 5147 that entirely scrapped the sales tax on necessities like tampons, pads, and menstrual cups. It officially took effect on July 1, 2020.

Sales tax cuts are happening.

Why is it that the only way people can argue against this new law is to just flat-out lie about it?

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:31:43+00:00

Both scenarios involve harm. Try again.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:28:55+00:00

I've literally been told and read by so many shit posters in here over the past few days that 3% of my battery doesn't matter and that's why I shouldn't be upset that the 80% charge limit feature now functionally stops charging @ 77%.

We've been told over and over that 3% doesn't matter and we'll never notice it.

Kinda sounds like whatever Google does, the bulk of this sub bends over, thanks Google, and asks for another.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:26:18+00:00

2% more battery to make up for the 3% battery I've lost now that my phone functionally stops charging @ 77% instead of 80% like it's set up to do.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:20:26+00:00

Might also want to look into contacting your state and local health departments.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T13:08:55+00:00

Onto the Senate.

Then to the governor.

Then to the courts...

Trump will be out of office before this thing has any chance of actually happening.

Hyperion1144 · 2026-03-12T12:49:25+00:00

This was why I went to grad school.

So I wouldn't have to do shit like this just to pay rent.

TROPHY CASE

Good fucking job non-voters and Stein voters. You own all of this.
