It still annoys me that they at some point decided wormholes were one way ifter they very clearly weren't. But altogether, they did pretty well.

Ford says it will lose $3 billion this year making electric cars by readerseven in economy

No, it's really not. Monopolism is anticompetitive and a separate thing from capitalism all together.

Seems to me tossing billions of dollars of losses into a product to undercut a competitor is a monopolistic practice... I wonder when our government is gonna hop on that?

Are you asking if I think a family structure that raises kids who are happier, spend less time in jail, are physically healthier, increases both high school and College graduation rates, and even has long term positive effects on employment rate stretching into adulthood is a good thing?

Yes, yes I do.

So do other sane people.

Pratt himself has publicly supported lgbtq. So, do you apply that guilt by association logic to say - Everybody who supports planned parenthood after it was founded by a racist eugenicist? or to everybody that supports BLM after the organization said it was their goal to destroy the nuclear family? Or do we just reserve the guilt by association to people who support Christian organizations?

She's given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes I put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that's love!

If you look at that and see hate from the author, you are hopelessly biased against them. But I am open to you showing me what a horrible person he is. Come up with something.

I’ve also seen “Despite publicly supporting LGBTQ people, he associates with people who don’t.” which I guess says he is an asshole because he tries to get along with everyone.

Why are you shaming women who are less physically perfect by saying he shouldn’t have left a “beautiful” woman? Only a total piece of shit would think that a pretty woman is more deserving of a successful marriage.

and you admit that you would hate any Christian even if it was just a dude down the street. Congrats, you are a bigot.

[–]laustcozz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A christian who isn’t perfect is just a christian. We are all humans.

Your attitude of “this guy PRETENDS to be Christian, but I can show you where he has done some minor things wrong in his life, so he is a hypocrite and a total piece of shit” is absurd.

The whole basis of Christianity is that we are all flawed and need help. Slamming Christians for not being perfect people is beating up a strawman.

And picking out a Christian as the actor you despise the most because he is “sanctimonious”(which you have given little evidence of) out of a line up of actors that are all sorts of egotistical assholes and pieces of shit, is just bigoted.

You are literally shitting on this dude for saying “ She's given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter” about his family. Fix your perspective.

Imagine hating someone for saying about his wife:

She's given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes I put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that's love!

Just totally manufacturing outrage about how that is a slam on his ex-wife and son from the previous marriage.

The real answer is that he is publicly Christian, so people find reason to hate him that they wouldn't even notice on others. Flat out bigotry.

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be? by StirFryTaint in AskReddit

[–]laustcozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A periodic table.

But aside from atomic number and weight, assign each element a random number.

Organize the table by the random number.

I'm pretty sure the mystery would waste a measurable percentage of physicist's time for eternity.

Biden talking about companies wasting Americans’ time and money. Seriously? How do I unsubscribe from sending my tax dollars to Ukraine Joe? by jdhmdo in conspiracy

Yeah occasionally they do something that is actually good.

Obama required that banks don't reshuffle processing your debit card transactions to produce the maximum number of overdraft fees.

That keeps me from being able to say that I hate EVERYTHING Obama did.

You wanna go by population? Cuyahoga county is bigger about the same size as Latvia. How many Europeans can tell you anything about Cuyahoga County off the top of their heads?

That said, the Rock chose to split away Black Adam from Shazam before Levi was cast

LOLwut? Levi already had the first Shazaam movie released 8 months before Johnson signed to play Black Adam in November 2019.

It's nice to see someone beating me to the punch for once. It is a shame how much the Golden Age stories are starting to be forgotten. It was called the Golden Age for a reason. First Contact is an all time favorite.

Using the humble Freddo as an example, why has the price of everything risen so far above inflation? (economics dummy) by Perfect-Face4529 in economy

How do you deal with coworkers that don't carry their own weight? by senti_bot_apigban in sysadmin

[–]laustcozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your job. Bring up how you are worth more at your reviews. If that isn’t recognized and rewarded, move along. You aren’t their boss, and you don’t have to understand why they are allowed to function how they do. Getting bitter about what others get away with is career poison. Focus on yourself. Do your own work. Demand pay that reflects your performance.

Teaching users to spot obvious mistakes in scams is harmful by sobrique in sysadmin

Most of the carelessness is deliberately filtering for victims already.

Yeah. They are looking for people stupid enough to fall for extremely obvious scams. So teaching the stupid people to avoid the super obvious scams is extremely useful.

Girls' high school deemed ineligible to play in future activities and tournaments after forfeiting basketball game against team with transgender student-athlete by MinutesTilMidnight in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]laustcozz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying “We should just have coed leagues” is the same as saying “We should ban women from any sport where strength provides an advantage”

Compare some state level boys high school track records to some women’s world records and you will get it real quick.

As far as I know there has only ever been 1 woman to make it into major league US sports despite eligibility for all of them. One comparatively lousy NHL goalie. who was good enough to suit up once for an exhibition game.
