I used to work for a laptop repair company. Nothing made me hate HP than having to work on their machines. Dell? Lenovo? Hell, Asus? I’d take ‘em all over an HP any day.

Right, but still. It’s always some crappy electronic part that wasn’t actually tested in the real-world use case, and so the wires aren’t shielded enough or a something. It’s always the same shit. “Oh, we cheaped out on this part because reasons.”
What’s easier to diagnose, your fuel pump just died or there’s a faulty diode on a board tucked up underneath literally everything?
Republicans suck. Texas is fine. It’s just land. Texas was fine 30 years ago before all the repuglicunts moved in.
I had to pull every dime out of my 401k (only about $2.5k) just to afford to move to a cheaper apartment. I’m 36. There’s no way I’m gonna be able to retire.
Need, no, but our bodies have literally evolved to more easily get the nutrients we require from animals.
We’re just animals ourselves. We can’t pretend we’re not omnivores. So I’ll be having my chicken salad with real chicken, thanks.
And indeed, was funnier when he left.
And yet the governments whose officials we’ve elected into office, having no better options, aren’t doing anything about it because the companies they’ve enabled to cause the problems we face keep taking them out to a fancy dinner every now and then.
I’m not too keen on moving out two hours from where I work, no.
Nothing says ‘smart financial decision’ like moving three hours from work because all of the cheap houses are literally in the middle of nowhere.
Also you don’t have to buy a $500k house. You choose to do so.
What if there’s nothing else available? As is the case in pretty much every metro area… everywhere.
Shit, I’m down. Everyone should work less and make more.
Nah, just the one. And it was because he was killing hordes of people, not controlling them.
Anyone with functioning kidneys is fine. Anyone with kidney problems probably isn’t drinking much soda anyway, and if they are that’s their choice. The occasional diet soda won’t kill you any faster than, say, standing outside would.
Nobody’s drinking 5 LITERS of soda in a day. If they are? More power to ‘em.
This isn’t a big deal in the slightest. A lot of diet sodas aren’t even using aspartame anymore, so it’s nearly a moot point.
Maybe they should listen to what the people want instead of shoving shit they don’t want down their throats with no justification.
Even if we stopped all use of fossil fuels overnight, there’s a lot of ‘baked in’ warming. This isn’t ‘instead of’ it’s ‘in addition to’ when it comes to halting warming.
The entire world runs on fossil fuels.
They power the machines used to gather materials. They power the machines that move those materials around the world to be turned into goods. They power moving those goods around the world to be sold. They power moving them again once they’ve been sold. And if we’re really lucky, they won’t use any more at that point.
The electricity you use. The gas in your car. The gas you use to heat your home or cook. The gas the Amazon van uses to get stuff from the warehouse to your door. The gas used by the semi truck to move stuff from one warehouse to another. The gas used by the cargo vessel to move stuff across the sea. The gas used for the mining equipment for the raw materials to make stuff. The gas used in the machines to turn materials into stuff.
Hell, the gas used to harvest crops and move them around and keep them cool, if need be.
Yes, we can and should be working on ways to divest from fossil fuels at every opportunity, but even if everyone was perfectly on board it wouldn’t happen overnight. It’ll take a few lifetimes at best.
All the time. Good Lord I got so sick of that.
