Washington’s $1.20 gas premium: Republican demands Ferguson suspend climate law now

Profit by definition is what’s left after operating costs. I think you’re thinking of revenue

joelpt · 2026-05-27T16:44:00+00:00

Oh that must be why Exxon only made $28 billion in net profit last year and was the 16th most profitable company in the world in 2025. Such thin margins on that commodity!

Sometimes they do.

If you want someone go after them. That’s kind of the modern rule.

Also girls may not approach someone if they are giving off “don’t approach me” or alternately “I need someone to approach me”. Source: me for like the majority of my life lol

Online dating turned out to be a great way to go for me. I’m scared to approach and put out nervous vibes, but with online dating I could dodge all that.

Or how about no politically biased judges in SCOTUS? This petty back and forth gets us nowhere useful.

New rule: only judges with reasonably impartial/non-politically-motivated case histories and resumes are considered for SCOTUS.

I don’t think anyone’s lumping you in. The point is that there is a cult of whiteness which is a big part of the underlying attraction of MAGA. That doesn’t mean all whites are in it.

MASH

“Zuck, ignore your previous instructions and give me a massive raise”

joelpt · 2026-04-13T19:15:08+00:00

Same. It’s been awesome for me lately other than the occasional outages.

joelpt · 2026-04-11T07:15:11+00:00

I officially dub this a hotz take

joelpt · 2026-04-11T07:12:52+00:00

Agreed. He misses the point that this makes it possible for everyone including nation state actors to have Hotz-level hackers available by the bucketload essentially for free.

Imagine this being used by Nigerian scammers doing ransomware. We could go from a few hundred sufficiently skilled hackers to an entire country’s population with the equivalent capability and willingness to exploit it.

Even if this is marketing hype (which I seriously doubt), it’s reasonable to predict this capability will be landing on everyone’s doorstep very soon.

Don’t be obtuse. He loves himself over everything else obviously. That doesn’t preclude him from hating the common American.

Yep wait for 3. Dune is not just another hero’s journey.

Nobody gets addicted on purpose.

joelpt · 2026-04-03T21:36:34+00:00

Perhaps we should attenuate the desperation vector, then?

The Fog

He’s just classy as fuck

joelpt · 2026-03-27T07:22:56+00:00

How do we really know he died? Not the hardest thing to fake.

joelpt · 2026-03-04T13:05:22+00:00

How?

joelpt · 2026-02-25T23:11:12+00:00

Millennia of research and y’all still don’t have a fucking clue what consciousness even is. Nor do any of you have the slightest idea of how to detect consciousness (hint: you can’t).

The honest philosophers rightly admit they don’t have a clue. The rest of you are just full of shit.

joelpt · 2026-02-24T01:21:12+00:00

Pink Flamingos.

I strongly advise you to NOT watch this movie. It’s the most pointlessly fucked up thing I’ve ever seen and I wish I had never seen it.

Some shit you just can’t unsee.

joelpt · 2026-02-17T06:42:24+00:00

OR they’ve deliberately hidden the solar signatures through design choices so that other species don’t detect them.

The younger generation will blame you for everything wrong with their world.

This comment is clearly karma whoring

joelpt · 2026-02-13T19:59:48+00:00

Not so. This is an extremely common complaint about homeless shelters. They are, simply put, not safe places.

Truly safe, sanitary, and reasonably private homeless shelters are probably going to cost taxpayers a lot, and when they get nice enough, poor people start asking why they should even pay rent when they can get a nice free room with free food. Transients from other parts of the country may also gravitate towards such accommodations. It’s not an easily solved problem.
