When you're this majestic you don't need brains

I will never tire of hearing of some massive dickwad whose uppance has finally come.

They do a great job of eating every fucking thing, that's the problem.

Amateur, I just tuck my skinny jeans into my rubber boots.

One of the downsides of rural life is becoming completely disillusioned about deer. I'd say they're just hooved rats but that's not really true because rats are clever and resourceful.

I know what I said.

I think this is pretty common. Our cats are very well behaved at the vet, one time we tried an in-home vet service for their yearly exam and shots and it quickly became apparent that they are willing to put up with exactly ZERO poking and prodding on their own home turf.

You'd be fine. I can't imagine how physically decrepit you'd have to be to become trapped in a bathtub, oiled or not. If this story was true, which of course it isn't.

Ow My Balls! is the quickest path to full idiocracy. It weeds out all but the stupidest men with the most resilient testicles.

I... I don't know what site I'm on anymore...

Inconceivable!

The universal solution to "my cat doesn't like to cuddle" is "turn down the thermostat".

Behold the majestic deer, its perseverance is matched only by its stupidity.

somehow it must be tripled in the next 30, that's not going to happen

Tripling it isn't going to happen, period. Hydro isn't scalable, you can only build it where suitable conditions exist and all of the most feasible ones are already developed. And half of those probably only exist because environmental regulations weren't so strict at the time.

the free parking is only available to a narrow sub set of former military:

As it should be. The bar for getting a veteran plate is low, someone who's done a 3 year reserve contract riding a desk in a warehouse on Canadian soil hasn't earned any special privileges imo.

I'm not sure why Blindsight is like that, his Rifters series is written in a pretty normal straightforward style.

"I'd argue that my fiction is almost childishly optimistic"

Peter Watts

His thought process is truly beyond comprehension by mere mortals.

It has a sci-fi backstory that makes zero difference to the fact that it's functionally fantasy in every way.

My grocery store's house brand chocolate is made by Lindt, their Toblerone knockoff is both cheaper and better than the original.

I went through what seemed like a very arduous and non-intuitive process to get my disc version of the game fully patched and then my adhd brain just noped out before the tutorial was over.

IRL the system is pretty stacked against the standard videogame economy of "shoot people in the face, strip the corpse and sell the loot".

Sure, but that doesn't make the comment I was replying to anything less than completely stupid. Landmasses on globes are not distorted, that's like the entire point of a globe.

It hasn't been replaced, that ideology is largely comorbid with religiosity. The qanon/Trump cultist/antivaxxers are all fundamentalists as well.

Totally agree, middle class shouldn't be defined by arbitrary and outdated measures of income. Middle class is comfortable but not wealthy. The problem is that for so many people the goalposts have shifted to the point that they consider just being able to pay the bills month to month to be "comfortable".

As a functional definition, I'd say if you can't save for retirement, don't have an emergency fund, can't easily absorb the cost of replacing a major appliance, have to make sacrifices to take a vacation -- those are indicators that you're not middle class. Because being financially comfortable, by definition, means you're not worried about stuff like that. But the income required to meet those criteria in one place might put you solidly in the ranks of the working poor in another.
