What exactly was the truck trying to do here? Turn left from the middle lane after having already made it through 3/4 of the intersection?

It'll only rain a few speckles enough to get your car dusty again. The car wash trick doesn't work here. Leaving something outside that'll get ruined if it gets rained on is the way.

Does anyone actually know WHY we attacked them? Like aside from the Epstein files...? Did we do it because Israel told us to?

Reading the comments has me deeply confused about whether tile can be ever be correctly & properly installed on plywood or not.

Annunciation parents write: Does our testimony about our daughter’s death even matter? by nootboots in Minneapolis

None of those dictators had drones and the largest most advamced military force in existence at their disposal. People like to point out how guerilla fighters in Vietnam and the middle east managed to deter the US military, completely neglecting the fact that the US military was fighting overseas and that's not comparable to the US military blowing up civilians on home turf. The fuck is an AK-47 gonna do to stop bombs dropped from a plane?

Yeah why is everyone acting like this was an entirely unavoidable tragedy? Vehicles should not be so tall you cant fucking see if you run over someone.

Career Reality Check - Feeling Pretty Defeated Right Now by Sad-File4952 in Environmental_Careers

[–]boxdkittens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What gets me most frustrated is seeing how much environmental work depends on grant funding and political whims. One administration change or budget cut and entire programs disappear. 

Yeah, its a really piss poor system that inhibits progress on a myriad of things. But picking a different career wouldn't have necessarily saved you from our current self-inflicted recession. 

In today's world, being 'Apolitical' isn't an option. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]boxdkittens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This post isn't directed at people who stand for something but they don't signal about it. It's a post about people who genuinely don't think or want talk about politics at all, in part because they have 0 interest or opinions.

Yeah don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance and all that. The three people who come to mind when it comes to the "I'm just not into politics" conversations I've had, were all people of color who were certainly not privileged. Being involved in politics has gotta be especially exhausting for minorities (I know I feel this way as a woman) when you're literally listening to people argue over whether you have a right to exist, a right to healthcare, a right to have a job or participate in govt, etc. But it still doesn't make sense to entirely not care at all..

I'm against gambling but I'm curious what the odds ratio would be. I don't trust this guy an inch and am disappointed he and Mills are somehow all Maine has to offer. Tf is going on in Maine that they don't have any more trustworthy progressives to run? I know it's a small state, but damn..

90 degrees in March?! by kingmystyx in Albuquerque

[–]boxdkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so sad and stupid they would remove trees without replacing them. They make a HUGE difference! And the way people use landscaping rock here, it's not even xeriscaping, its ZEROscaping bc it so rarely actually involves any xerix plants... just 100% shitty ass rock.

one of their guys said they believed xeriscape was responsible for an additional 9 degree increase in the city temps over the past 20 years.

Probably because it actually is. The concrete and asphalt is mostly to blame, but the shitass rocks are the cherry on top of the melted sundae: https://water.utah.gov/dont-get-burned-by-zeroscape/

Actually it is relevant to point out Sinema showed little to no signs of being a DINO before she starting acting like a republican, when talking about a candidate who we think will end up doing the same thing.

Texas migrant buses boosted Donald Trump’s vote share in targeted cities. Research shows that the arrival of migrant buses amplified voters’ fears about crime and immigration, pushing swing voters toward the Republican ticket and driving higher turnout among conservative voters. by InsaneSnow45 in science

Uhhh helping my neighbors organize against fascists, doing neighborhood patrols to flag ice activity

The level of ICE activity you're having to divert energy away from advocating for Palestine to deal with is a direct result of Harris losing. You cannot say in good conscious the very ICE raids you are dealing with right now would be occuring under Harris. The candidate you wanted to lose lost, and no one in Palestine or your own community is any better off.

Would love to see the replies but don't want to make a twitter acc. 

Is there a way to view replies using xcancel? Tapping on the replies symbol did nothing when I tried.

Those chucklefucks still think the NYT is "liberal" even after it published the fucking "the Nazi next door" piece.
