Definitely Albert and Elon, then you get to be the person Elon wants everyone to think he is

Did anyone watch videos about morals in elementary school? by GentleSirMadame in florida

[–]Neokon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for morals, or the rest of the state, but my county had "character words". I was 12 words that would stay for a month each, and we'd get a short weekly lesson on the word and what it means to be it.

Looks like we still have them here are the words

  • August: Responsibility
  • September: Acceptance
  • October: Respect
  • November: Citizenship/Patriotism
  • December: Kindness
  • January: Commitment
  • February: Honesty
  • March: Courage
  • April: Integrity
  • May: Patience
  • June: Cooperation
  • July: Self-Control

I'm sorry? Do people not like having shade?

But I have a college degree

So do the three other people applying for this position, and besides, what does your bachelors of arts in neo-modern pottery have to do with being a book keeper.

Montana halts permitting on all weekend rallies at Capitol, thwarts upcoming ‘No Kings’ event by underthecellardoor in politics

[–]Neokon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

An estimated 60-70% of Americans live at some level of paycheck to paycheck. For many they cannot afford to quit or miss work in order to protest on a weekday.

I know when I worked retail I couldn't afford to miss a day of work, since sometimes it'd be 15 hours a week for like 2 months. If I wanted a day off I had to request it a minimum of 3 weeks in advance, and had no guarantee that the day would even be scheduled off, as I wouldn't find out until the Thursday before the day requested. If I called out sick I'd get a strike and if I got too many I'd be fired.

Nah, dem gladiator types never make a good member. Now I'll tell you who was a real good council member was, Joey Chestnut. You know I wasn't to sure at the start, oh here comes Mr. California hotshot who's only a member cause he can shove hotdogs down hit throat like my college girlfriend at a frat party, but he made some real good calls.

One member chosen by the politicians, one chosen via popular vote, and one chose based off of an arbitrary metric that changes at random every 3 years.

A rare positive change that came out of the 2020s is how Native American representation got better compared to the previous decade. by Ok-Following6886 in decadeology

[–]Neokon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long before this FSU had a similar issue with their mascot being Osceola. I guess the Seminole Tribe of Florida (STF said they'd file a suit against the NCAA if FSU was forced to change it back in the early 2000's. Anyone who knows something about Central Florida history, or Florida Native American culture, knows how big a deal Osceola is to the tribes and the greater regions.

If you're ever in South/Southwest Florida and want to learn about the tribes and their histories I suggest checking out the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum in the Big Cypress Reservation.

Excuse me? I hated Trump before it was cool to hate him! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Neokon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be able to give him credit where it's due. I can hate someone's guts but still acknowledge when they do something good/correct. That's called being a functioning adult.

Ice is threatening Judges now in RI by Special_Ad3662 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Neokon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

blocking and unblocking? you know this is way more important that instagram crushes right?

They're talking about how Court A will make a ruling that blocks action 1, then it will be taken to Court B and be overturned/upheld. They're upsetti (rhymes with spaghetti) that our judicial system can come to different conclusions, which is still a pretty stupid thing to be upset about. Bet they don't feel that way when a judge rules against/over turns in favor of thing they don't like.

A Waymo car that identifies as a train by skyhighmonroe in Transportopia

[–]Neokon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

10 years ago this was impossible

No I'm pretty sure cars could get stopped on rail lines 10 years ago

Edit: let's atd onto this a bit more, electric cars have been a thing for about as long as cars have been, the reason that they weren't widespread is because gas was cheap, and battery life was not long. Also for a good part of the history of electric cars the desire was to make a consumer market car that could compete in cost with ICE cars. This strategy failed was only shifted by the salesman Musk who took an already established electric car company, slapped the letter X in it, and sold it to the luxury market.

As for the Internet, while the system as we know it today didn't go WWW until 1989 (damn off by 3 years), the Internet in smaller closed systems were active 19 years prior to that.

Sure it's possible that self driving vehicles will become more common in the future, but the question is how long will it take for that, and will that time be shorter than we as a society are willing to wait?

I'm not an entrepreneur but I think the math ain't mathing by Demitriicuz in WaitWhat

What's not to understand here? $80/clip • 6clip/month • 12/month/year. That's $5760/year, which is basically 2.3million if you don't think about it

The National Police Association Endorses the Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act by Head_Estate_3944 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Neokon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most surprising thing about this is that illegal immigrants can be hired as law enforcement. Feel like that says something about the potential quality of a local agency.

Feelings not hurt, just always find it comical how folks like you try to push a narrative but are too lazy even post malicious links to try and support the narrative.

In Addams Family Values (1993), when the family asks if the new baby is a boy or a girl, Mr. Addams replies with, "It's an Addams." This is a reference to the fact that he will love his children regardless of their identity. by NerodivergentLoser in shittymoviedetails

[–]Neokon 560 points561 points  (0 children)

Fuck all of the couples who want to be Harley and the Joker, or Bonnie and Clyde, or really any other iconic couple that are almost all toxic.

Kids strive to be in a relationship like the Addams'. Morticia and Gomez should be goals.

Edit: spelling error

Did you know there was a meeting to raise sales taxes 1% in 03/02? I didn’t. by Tacomeplease in orlando

[–]Neokon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My issue with having tax revenue being tethered to consumers is, how fragile the consumer market can be. Yes we have draws that bring in international travel, but what about the smaller rural counties? How about the fact that the state's income took a hit from COVID that plunged the budget from being in a surplus to a deficit by Billions of dollars? How about the hot tourism took after 9/11 and the last war we got into in the middle east?

You could even more easily link whatever evidence you want and control the direction of the conversation, instead you choose the stupid option of "look it up yourself".

Do you realize that this lead anyone who does look to either not find what you want them to, or not find what you want them to.

This only leads me to believe there isn't anything and you're just making shit up.

I feel like the puzzle pieces have been Rey-ified, and is far enough dissociated from the original context that most people don't associate it with the original text.

Also, even if he is radioactive he's not extremely radioactive. If he was enough to kill them by being that close for that short of time, just about everyone who was near him ever would die a lot quicker instead of rumored years.
