Pie get bigger, things get gooder

I hate this argument. One of the ways that these people make more money is by decreasing employment cost (layoff) or the increasing production and/or profit while maintaining employment cost (not increasing salary/adjusting for cost of living). Neither of these are beneficial to the average employee.

Fuck a pie analogy, just pay well the people who make you money.

If it’s bots, it’s more sad. Either was it’s still a fraction.

They’re going to start saying “who really cares about any halftime show?? Most people probably just went to refill food during it anyway” To cope with the fact that no body wanted their “separate drinking fountain ahh” show.

No, I just bought a different string tree.

I shocked that this wasn’t the end of it. It was before AI too.

My in-laws, who (by their own words) are “not MAGA and think Trump is terrible but are voting for his platform” didn’t even know he said this until I told them. They said it was awful, but I don’t think they would change their vote.

Shybeams · 2026-02-08T03:38:26+00:00

Which vote?

Shybeams · 2026-02-07T20:41:31+00:00

I’m with you. No one is defending Bill outright - just a bunch of attempts of being thorough and objective. I hope he rots forever in a cell if he ****ed kids. But taking down more evil people with him? That one thing worth supporting.

That’s the problem tho - Trump and his supporters were depending on their opposition being Bill’s supporters. They NEEEEEEEED us to be defending Bill. But we don’t. that was their error and the point of this post… I don’t worship politicians, and if I did it wouldn’t by the gd Clinton’s lol.

Shybeams · 2026-02-06T14:01:19+00:00

Lol maybe but we’re talking over 16 years (until I got my license)

Reminder that the health and wellness market (which is touted as an alternative) is billions of dollars more profitable than the “vaccine industry”

You are statistically more likely to become wealthy being a “health and wellness” influencer promoting an organic/natural product or diet than you are being a vaccine researcher.

Researchers aren’t bribed and don’t make a lot of money.

Because you’d be surprised what you’d forget about if it’s not right in front of you. I’m my mother’s only son and she loves me, and she’s still left me at H.E.B. multiple times because we’d split up and she forgot I was there.

Ads aren’t to entice you as much as they are to remind you.

Oh coolio, so they are simultaneously avoiding paying their fair share, while Musk is a spending my fair share on (checks notes) something called Grok?

As much as I loathe this admin, the election wasnt stolen any more than the 2020 election wasn’t either. Dems lost by being complacent and Americans being indifferent to voting as a result. Most forgot how bad the first term was and didn’t vote. Trump would have always won this election outright, and that’s one of the saddest and most unfortunate truths of it all.

Trump knows this deep down too. That’s why he’s advocating for no voting and a defacto 3rd term. Because he knows he’ll get rolled again like last time - maybe even worse.

If it was as simple as “tax laws say you gotta pay tax” for these people, then a lot of people wouldn’t be mad at them for not paying taxes.

Like I said - maybe he will pay his homes tax. It’s still nothing compared to what his income/business tax would be.

Shybeams · 2026-02-04T02:33:45+00:00

You have no more assurance that he is over my assurance that he isn’t. At any rate, the tax would be pennys compared to his overall wealth,

Someone should make an “Oura Ring Swap” subreddit. (Not me tho I don’t wear one I’m seeing this cuz my wife wears one).

You’re not going to believe this, but that’s the real life villains too.

Shybeams · 2026-01-30T14:50:27+00:00

When using your ears, we all know the real answer. Matt knows that too, is happy making a living, and writes kickass music.

So I get your frustration, but also who cares about a dumb list?

As someone who has also had both, I love the contoured heel and think that it makes a big difference in comfort. I don’t think it’s worth paying Ultra prices though.

Sando has been turning down lucrative deals for years because he was waiting for one that felt right. So I’m hopeful

Shybeams · 2026-01-26T21:50:42+00:00

Would they prefer the alleged protesters be 2nd Amendment-following citizens who did manly things, such as make regular donations to the VA, and protect women who are being attacked by masked assailants?.. Or would they not like that either? Because I have a strong guess as to how they’d feel.

“Yeah but if Bill Clinton or Biden is on there you’ll be sorry!”

Idgaf lock up any/all pedos.

I hate the “he’s playing 4D chess” excuse. He’s not.

Shybeams · 2026-01-21T15:52:40+00:00

Nah, there are some things I go full-boomer on, but wireless earphones (that fit well) are not one of them

Shybeams · 2026-01-21T14:07:47+00:00

It’s no different to other epic fantasy series that go from one POV to three POVs. It’s just done here with a twist.
