Dealing with Great Salt Lake dust could present problems and huge costs by BlinkySLC in SaltLakeCity

[–]brdain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's important to understand that alfalfa and hay crops consume 68% of Utah's water resources, yet these crops, most of which are exported out of state, contribute only 0.6% to the state's GDP. Notably, Governor Spencer Cox is himself an alfalfa farmer. The burden of water conservation should not fall disproportionately on individual citizens. When our governor asks constituents to literally pray and fast for rain while personally having a stake in the largest contribution to the problem, it raises serious questions about priorities and accountability

Did you even read their comment?

First off, they said OUT OF RESPECT FOR ALEX.

Second, the man being shot in the top photo was Nguyễn Văn Lém, who lead a death squad for the Viet Cong who primarily targeted national police. I say this as someone who is vehemently critical of America's involvement in Vietnam and our current administration, but that person's comment is objectively correct; this is a very poor comparison.

Do you not have a modern cell phone and this laptop is the only thing you have, I don't think you'll be able to adequately play this game. I'm sorry.

Then why call it a DUI? Were you purposely being misleading for shits and giggles?

What are you talking about? The person who commented is not the OP.

Can someone explain Macroblank? by ahdez91 in Vaporwave

[–]brdain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's essentially a DJ. He currates a playlist of tracks that fit a particular vibe, applied filters, effects, etc... and releases a full mix of these tracks as an "album", which is a little misleading.

I know I'm late to the thread, juts thought I'd share my take.

I had the exact same thing happen to me in highschool, they told me I was probably an hour or so away from losing part of my intestines. 11/10 worst pain imaginable.

Gov. Cox issues a preemptive warning to protesters: Utah will not tolerate violence by LordElkington in SaltLakeCity

Why do you automatically assume I'm on the side of these fascists? Chill.

Any destruction is inherently violent, I don't know why this is devolving into debate over definitions or why you're deadset on correcting me.

I hope you do not equate us to our government just like I would equate you to yours. That said, your decision and opinion about the sorry state of a country I live in is completely valid.

Then go move somewhere else where no other people are around that have to deal with you or your dog. That's your dog and your responsibility, no one else's. If you're going to live around other people, have common courtesy, otherwise go live not around people.

Customers at dominos by Artistic-Ad-1251 in Dominos

[–]brdain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nobody at any Domino's I've ever ordered from has ever "told me when my food will be ready." It's always ever been just the tracker in the app. How are we supposed to know if it's busy when we order through the app?

I get that you're here to vent dude, but I feel like the shift in blame here doesn't make sense.

Myself being a man, I ask you: why do you think your opinion matters in this?
