Yeesh.

Man, I am so tired of feeling broke all the time... But I'd still rather get a used car than do that.

That is why I'm arguing for not celebrating this way of handling problems. Executions, even official ones that are done "correctly" by the state, often kill innocent people. And, as you said, people that have directly commited a crime still deserve their rights.

Situations like this, where no one wants to see a killer like that get away, it becomes easier to overlook bad policing, and everyone should make a conscious effort try and hold police to a higher standard to do things properly.

Yeah, almost all sports. Although maybe you don't consider physical proportions and stuff like that "talent" exactly.

Car dealerships. They are awful on purpose. In many places car manufacturers are not legally allowed to sell their cars directly to customers, in order to create what is essentially legally mandated car dealerships, which all suck.

Idk who told conservatives about libraries but if we had just kept quiet about them they never would have even realized they still existed.

Now they are complaining about libraries having books in them. They won't be happy until they are empty concrete rooms. Such a pitiful shame they can't see the objective value of libraries.

To be clear, the thing being talked about in the article was not a ppp loan, but a grant. There is no indication anyone, intended recipient or not, is supposed to pay this one back

Do you not remember this happening? Did you not know what it meant?

When Biden did that he ended the legal strike against the wishes of the rail workers. If they wanted to continue their strike it would have been illegal. Idk how else I can phrase this to make it even more explicitly clear.

Yeah it is really easy to fall for the schadenfreude when a POS gets got by cops but don't forget cops are wrong about who did what all the fucking time...

I hope they weren't wrong here...

I feel like you are trying to convince me but I already agreed with you when I got here

The only pilot lights I've ever seen were on massive professional restaurant ranges with big 24/7 running fumehoods so...

Yeah gas is only "safe" with a full fume hood. Even then not as safe as they used to think, but most people don't have real fume hoods in their home, or don't even crack a window when they use the gas.

We should at least use propane if we have to cook indoors with hydrocarbons
