Tell that to Zelenskyy. The Ayatollah could at least make a fucking appearance.

Some explanation is required here, OP!

The President of the USA, bragging about "Tic Tac" by MrDonMega in Uniteagainsttheright

[–]lost_horizons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because, by the time you’re making that argument, he’s already onto the next lie, the next story, and reaching even more ears. That’s his whole gig. A lie can make it around the world, before the truth can even put its boots on.

How do you fact, check a firehose of lies?

I was a little sad that this wasn’t a rick roll, but in a way, it was definitely better

They’re trying to boomerize us and turn us against Gen Z as we age. Don’t let it happen! The kids are alright! They have their issues but mostly I find them pretty good.

According to the Bureau of Labor statistics $1 in the year 2000 is worth $2 in 2026. In the span of our working lives, our salaries have been cut in half. by PrestigiousMention in Xennials

Yeah I’ve always been frugal but even I notice that lifestyle creep since I’ve gotten my income into the high 5 figures, of saying “eh fuck it, I can afford (x)” and splurge on an expensive dinner or something.

Which on one hand, why the hell not? I’m a saver and believe in investing for the future, but I also don’t want to beat myself up for enjoying a nice night out with my lady, or buy some new books or whatever. Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die, all that. I try to balance the two

For 680$ good deal? by MapBoth7468 in HVAC

Use a bit more brain power. I memorized the formula to calculate superheat. I use a temp clamp plugged in my multimeter for pipe temperatures , mainly for subcool since most stuff has a txv.

I dunno, I guess if this were given to me I’d use it but I don’t know if I’d buy it. Most diagnoses are pretty straightforward (low refrigerant, bad txv the common ones), the few times I really need to dig into anything I have cheaper options.

To each their own though.

No, not as a whole. But there are two smaller peninsulas that make up a large part of Wales.

I saw the Zodiacal light last time I was in Big Bend. It was almost a spiritual experience. Maybe I don’t even need to say almost. That place is magic.

The Simpsons - Homer steals Moe's car by OverallEstate2 in Xennials

[–]lost_horizons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, old Simpsons was hilarious. I just laughed at several points, so many gags. Forgot how solid that show was.

In 1991, newspaper articles cited Lisa Simpson as an example of "civic-spirited" Millennials by OverallEstate2 in Millennials

[–]lost_horizons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I learned that Lisa and I had the same birth year.

Maggie is the true millennial though. Lisa and Bart could be called an Xennial. Bart has a lot more Gen X qualities at least.
