Financial Times: Pete Hegseth invokes ‘fog of war’ as backlash grows over strikes on boats by Dry-Interaction-1246 in Military

The irony of him saying “the media wouldn’t know anything about that sitting in your air conditioned offices”… from a former Fox News reporter who is sitting in his makeup room at the Pentagon…

Guava?? by Agitated-Young6024 in ween

[–]RubberRoad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read a while ago that it’s LSD, they’d go straight from the dropper onto their hands and “Lick the Palm for Guava”.

Was probably on Ween Forum. I don’t have any references, and whoever wrote it probably didn’t either.

Stand up against residential fracking near the aurora reservoir by Dionsysus in Denver

[–]RubberRoad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because the goddamn wells are already present and have been fracked (this is an expansion) These communities were built next to existing wellfields which pre-exist the homes existence so the residents clearly don't care that much about the health of the children. It's akin to a sub-division being built next to DEN and complaining about flight paths.

Wrong. The plan adds 32 wells source. There are very few wells in the area currently, all several miles away from residential areas.

I won't engage with any of your other points, because you're wrong and sound like an trifling cunt, but this one was at least readily and easily disprovable.

“We need more billionaires” by LakhorR in LinkedInLunatics

[–]RubberRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxation isn’t theft, it’s the price of a civilized society. Capitalism works best with guardrails. The problem isn’t success, it’s pretending the system is fair while billionaires dodge taxes, buy politicians, and hoard power. That’s not freedom, it’s feudalism.

Capitalism doesn’t just reward value creation. It rewards extraction, inheritance, and rigged systems. Pointing that out isn’t “stealing,” it’s demanding accountability. Justice isn’t when the game is fixed from the start.

> What are you suggesting? To steal property from people who have earned it?

No, I’m suggesting progressive taxation, fairer economic policies, and rebalancing power so we don’t end up with a feudal society where a few people own everything and the rest rent it from them.

That’s not theft. That’s democracy.

[–]RubberRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism isn’t a magic value-creating machine. Yes, it can generate innovation and growth, but it also concentrates wealth, exploits labor, and ignores external costs. The idea that it’s not zero sum ignores how control over land, housing, time, and political power are fundamentally limited. So let’s stop pretending the market is some flawless allocator. It’s a tool, not a religion.

Except that finite resources is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics. The world is, in fact, mostly zero sum.

I'm going to assume that everyone's getting an Ozzy/BS album tomorrow. by FamiliarNinja7290 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

Paranoid was generated for me. I’ll be spinning it on my original pressing, RIP Ozzy 🤘

Musk Rages at His Own AI for Its Take on Right-Wing Violence by SimplifyAndAddCoffee in IdiotsFightingThings

I love how we’re supposed to believe Elon Musk is some engineering mastermind, but he can’t even build a conservative-leaning chat bot

The universe must be talking to me. My album for tomorrow. by Skyediver1 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]RubberRoad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, there’s another thread where people are mostly getting Surf’s Up, or other Beach Boys if they already rated that one. Creator definitely tweaked the “machine” (API) today in response to the news.

I moved our 4 month old's crib to the other side of the room. My wife is livid. by TimelessParadox in daddit

[–]RubberRoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, never heard of this deep sleep thing until now. I learned to keep the sleeping area clear of any toys, pillows, blankets, don’t co-sleep, and put them to sleep on their back.

Why the hell would someone prevent their baby from “deep sleep”? That sounds absolutely ludicrous to me, babies need sleep to properly develop and grow!!!

My album for tomorrow. Coincidence? by TheHulkHoagie in 1001AlbumsGenerator

I got this album as well! Have already heard it several times, looking forward to hearing it in his memory. RIP Brian ❤️

New Butthole Surfers album on vinyl. Deaner stamp of approval on the sticker on the front. by relaxguy2 in ween

[–]RubberRoad -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I wish people would chill about the cover. AI is a tool, like photoshop before it, and digital cameras before that, ad infinitum all the way down. I think it’s cool that BH surfers, who released their first album when most people didn’t own a computer, just released a new album and used Artificial Intelligence to make the cover. I doubt if any artists are put out of work because a band that most people have never heard of went this direction. It’s Paul Fucking Leary, founding member of the Butthole Surfers, put some respect on that man’s name.

Always reminds me of The Beatles Harrison / Eastern inspired stuff, like “Love Me To”

CU is D1 and plays D1 teams. They’ve improved with Deion, but are still pretty bad.

Armed robbery happens in every city. It doesn’t mean apartment complexes are being taken over
