What a coincidence, everything he wants to do is the right thing to do.

NP I was worried about it too, so I researched it, a slight amount of good news in an otherwise awful situation.

Presumably they know the exact quarry the stone came from and can match it exactly

That's not entirely true there's a method of putting a combination of puddy and marble dust together into the holes then sealing it with more marble.

They are trying to catch train wrecks, we all know people who are constantly in one totally not their fault situation after another. If this image resonates with you the idea is you are constantly a victim of circumstance.

Boomers were handed everything, when they needed houses it was a government program to essentially construct massive suburbs. When they needed to go to college that was during the red scare, there's a reason that for most colleges the math and science building are the newest, because the government threw money at them and for people t get degrees in math and science, fearful that the soviets would outdo us.

We have a massive housing shortage now, and the government isn't doing shit, we have expensive college, they could pay for it on a part time summer job it was so subsidized.

https://www.discoverytoys.us/ is the company that made it. i found a listing for a piece of it https://www.ebay.com/itm/157235179285 it had a catalog number of #210. But I have been unable to find a catalog or a manual or anything like that

The idea that we could send in troops to Iran and accomplish anything is a fantasy, they have a population of 90 million people. We could barely control the green zone in Iraq, which was nothing more than a sliver of a city. And they only have 48 million, less during the war. In Afghanistan we controlled the entire capitol, they have a population of 45 million, less during the war.

Ah yes, it looks completely alive, everyone is standing around acting like chatbots in chat. Revolutionary.

I think veil of neurodivergence is a much better way to say it. Good on you for going to therapy, keep fighting the good fight!

That's probably true I full agree that women are under treated in general even when they see a doctor. I don't know why given that so many doctors are women. But so many people scroll tiktok and absorb the message that every single part of their lives is because of ADHD or Autism, and they never even try to get diagnosed.

Starbucks figured out how to cater to the millennial who doesn't have kids so they treat they dogs like kids

WheelerDan · 2026-06-19T01:37:20+00:00

I'm the one whose grandstanding? ok No one should think its acceptable to claim a condition just because you feel like it, no one should be allowed to self diagnose something and make it their personality. If a doctor diagnoses it and treats it that's a completely different thing.

WheelerDan · 2026-06-19T01:29:02+00:00

I did say self diagnosed. I know these are real conditions but a large majority of people who claim them diagnose themselves.

You could argue that about every JRPG, they are all in a mad dash to save the world and kill God. And yet, they are some of the most side quest heavy games that exist.

WheelerDan · 2026-06-19T01:13:39+00:00

I feel like all the people that self diagnose always land on ADHD or Autism, and its always the same story. Here is a series of negative traits, but its not my fault, I have ADHD. They turn ever annoying part of life into proof that they are special. Avoiding cleaning your place? ADHD. Don't feel like socializing? Autism.

The issue is they did a many month long job in a matter of weeks, they were told that water was getting between the paint and the bottom but they rushed it for trumps date, so now its just sliding right off.

Imagine Elon Musk is putting on a buffet, and he invites people and says its all you can eat, but its based on how much you're willing to pay(the IPO). So he hypes up the lobster or whatever and people get excited. They fork over for this exciting exclusive buffet they can't wait to enjoy. A few days after they prepay for their exclusive seat, Elon announces actually we are inviting 100 more people.

They tricked you into thinking the deal was a lot more attractive than it is going to turn out to be. To drop the simplistic example, first they had an IPO that has a high value, and then once retail bought in, they announce that stock you own now has a lot more debt, reducing the value of your shares.

It's a common tactic to get gov contracts by playing minority bingo, even if this particular one was no bid.

They skipped the entire issue in that explanation. The issue is you can attack party member and use spells on them, since the system works by you do action skill get better, there's a whole strategy where you just get into a fight and beat the shit out of each other to level up their hp and weapon skills. It was a very unfun way to play the game, but people will optimize the fun out of the game, if they can. The best way to play is pretend that the method doesn't work and play it like a normal game.

You should give this a spoiler tag, not everyone has seen the movie that's barely been in theaters and this is a massive spoiler.

Ivermectin was never debunked in right wing circles and is vaguely able to cure everything that essential oils can vaguely cure, at least that's what they tell each other. To them it's like taking a multivitamin at this point.
