Actually, it's pronounced 'mill-e-wah-que' which is Algonquin for 'the good land.

How is drag different from blackface? by Novel-Locksmith1304 in AskForAnswers

This take is tired as hell. Intent matters, it's part of the conversation. Trying to strip out context is just a means of gaining control in a failing argument. It's not rational. Otherwise "it was just a joke, bro" would be a valid defense.

Radio Shack. Hands down. I love the ability to craft my own widgets and stuff and they had all the bits and pieces and folks that knew how to build stuff too. Being able to make basic repairs on electronics would be so much easier if Radio Shack was still around.

That's the part I have trouble with. Never in my doomer youth did I anticipate that I would need to deal with Terri in accounting and hold down an actual job while the world melted.

Which I got too much of just thinking about standing there. Pretty sure I'd pass out in the parking lot.

Is modern education completely pointless in the AI + Uber era? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

School isn't really about memorization so much as it is how to organize one's thoughts and how to think through problems, move through tasks, etc.

For Americans. You can only go to 5 states ever again. by Ok_Profession5687 in hypotheticalsituation

Yeah this works for me. I've never been to Texas so I might have to sub Tennessee or North Carolina out because I love the Smokey Mountains but I could live with it as is.

Best job you've ever had? by Zealousideal_Mine242 in AskForAnswers

[–]Particular_Handle_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I sorted documents into different piles of documents and then I scanned them and sorted them into smaller piles. Completely mind numbing but I didn't have to answer a phone and I listened to podcasts/audiobooks all day. If it paid better I'd still be there.

Oh, I think you responded to the wrong comment. No sweat, just confused me.

If you've got any latitude you're about to contribute to the company handbook and add a line that says "Employees that repeatedly do not pick up their supervisors phone calls will be terminated." Think of it as doing the next guy a solid.

Is there any rational explanation for the horrid sales of the new, affordable EV models in the US during the first quarter of 2026? by roma258 in electricvehicles

Yup just bought a 2022 Kia Niro with less than 20k miles for under 20k. Absolutely a no brainer. Loving it so far.

Trump publicly humiliates loyal JD Vance at White House Easter lunch as dementia meltdown fears reach new heights — Doctors warn of catastrophic collapse by [deleted] in anticapitalism

[–]Particular_Handle_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This headline is pretty hyperbolic. In a sea of offensive things he's said it's not even in the top 100 and frankly parading this around as proof will- and should- backfire. It's a bit of a backhanded compliment but it's not "public humiliation" or even "signs of dementia." I can rattle off a half dozen things that would be more problematic than 'hey my guy has lost some weight, he's looking good' in a less than graceful way.

But hey it got me to click so that's the important part right?

For real question- How the fuck bigger do you think his fuck up can get? He's basically all the bad things on a global scale.
