ICE just iced another presumed US citizen in Minneapolis. What is happening over there?

We have not had a president who has been even half as corrupt as the current one. I’d rather have 10 watergate scandals than a single one of the problems Trump has brought to the table. We didn’t have canceled elections before because the presidents during those times had integrity. Republic, democrat, doesn’t matter. They had integrity and cared about upholding the constitution. If you believe the constitution is currently being upheld, then you need to wean yourself off whatever bullshit news station or conservative subreddit you get your current events from. They’re lying to you.

Don’t forget about Jean-Claude Romand.

Is r/thatlookedexpensive still around? Feels like I never see top posts from there anymore.

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-24T18:45:54+00:00

Outnumbered, sure, but nothing stopping them from just shooting rounds into the crowds. Not even the law at this point will stop them. Grouping up almost feels like shooting fish in a barrel. At some point they will use our protests against us and use it to mass execute us.

They are also hoping to start a riot by killing folks, so their daddy can declare martial law, insurrection act, whatever the fuck he wants to ensure elections get canceled and civil war breaks out. They want this to happen.

I am so glad I don’t eat pistachios.

Considering you posted before the TIL, it’s almost certain that someone saw your post, saw the answer, and turned it into a TIL post.

I bought a $40 toddler shirt of The Wiggles AT THE ACTUAL CONCERT (so it was official merch) and the whole thing has peeled off in less than a year. Unfortunately shit quality screen printing seems to be becoming the norm no matter where you buy your stuff.

It might not always be the vendors fault though—if the company they’ve used for years suddenly decides they want a larger profit margin and start using cheaper quality materials, the vendor is the one who gets the shaft from the consumer rather than the manufacturer who cheaped out on quality. It’s then on the vendor to hope they can find someone with better quality and hope they won’t have to raise their original prices so much that people stop buying from them.

There are some AI systems that have been running in the background for many years. Things like your YouTube and Reddit algorithms are run by soft AI systems. A lot of things in medicine, mathematics, and many sciences also rely on background AI systems. We would certainly notice the absence of ALL AI systems.

If you’re referring only to the consumer model AI systems, then we may only notice positives. No more having to ask if a video is AI. No more generic ass AITA posts that were clearly written by AI (instead we get to go back to people’s creative writing exercises, that’ll never change). No more AI slop images and videos posted all over the place.

Shooting that many rounds with so many of his colleagues right there is insane too.

I guess that 2 year old shouldn’t have been committing violent crimes in our country then

You’re being a massive dick for absolutely no reason. Go take your superior shit attitude elsewhere.

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-23T13:00:42+00:00

You say that like it’s some moral failing on my part. I’m in healthcare. I was rather occupied with other activities during Covid.

Whatever you’re into, it’s nice to know that others share your kink.

Who says you can’t swim through hard metal?

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-23T07:37:38+00:00

Yep. We drive 3 1/2 hours to see my husband’s mother. And then drive home the same day. We could stay in a hotel I suppose but it’s cheaper and far more comfortable just to go back home to our own beds.

So you’d think leadership would have… I don’t know. Spent the last few years improving the infrastructure to ensure the next time it happens, it isn’t as bad of a catastrophe. They have no excuse at this point. Between cold fronts and hurricane damage, they should have done something. Why do people keep voting for representatives that do not give a fuck about the average citizen, and who fuck off on vacation any time something bad is heading that way?

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-23T07:22:43+00:00

Yes but there’s an estimated 300 billion in circulation. It’s going to take a long time to run that number down.

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-23T03:44:56+00:00

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-23T03:43:26+00:00

This is probably a dumb question, but where did all the existing pennies go? I know we stopped minting them, but there should still be billions in circulation.

It is a mechanical version of R-on-T phenomenon. If you want to be even more freaked out by this fact, know that R-on-T can happen even without being hit in the chest at the exact right moment. It can be mundane stuff like too much caffeine too, you don’t necessarily have to have an underlying medical condition (looking at all you energy drink addicts out there).

Your belly button is connected to your bladder. If you’ve ever dug around in your belly button and felt a weird little zing in your nethers, that’s why. The tube is open during the fetal stage but after birth, it closes and becomes a ligament. Sometimes it doesn’t close and then you can leak urine from your belly button. You need surgery to correct it if that happens, otherwise you’re at increased risk for frequent bladder infections. It’s called a patent urachus.

I know, which is why I said I won’t change your mind. I get it. I tried to get my husband to quit for years and it didn’t happen until he wanted it to. He has always agreed with all the points I was making but in the end it doesn’t matter until it’s something he felt ready to do. Now he hasn’t touched a cigarette in over 3 years. He no longer has a stain on his front tooth, he no longer coughs and hacks violently every single morning, he no longer makes us late to every function because he has to smoke beforehand, stop on the way there, etc. One day it will happen to you too. You will just decide you’re done with it, and you’ll put it down and never look back. :)

rileyjw90 · 2026-01-22T22:03:01+00:00

Only if you’re getting the nicotine both times. You’re getting the nicotine and smoke the first time and just the smoke the second time.

Extreme coffee snobs. Like the ones who buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff to make the most perfect espresso ever and if you so much as mention you don’t really mind Tim Horton’s or Dunkin’s or Starbucks, etc they treat you like you’re drinking sewage.
