Haha all good
And a moderately sized fire every now and then is ok, I think

Yeah.
Russia invades Ukraine and bombs apartment buildings, it's like hey WTF those are perfectly innocent people
Israel turns the whole of Gaza into a wasteland of corpses and famine and it's like well of course, they're seeing to their security situation, as any country would, here's some bombs my loving brother
I don't think Israel should be allowed at the Olympics either, FWIW
Yeah, maybe so. I'm sorta just playing devil's advocate. My point wasn't that Russia isn't a terrorist state which is visiting pointless destruction on the world at large in a stupid and dangerous way, more that the US has also roamed around the world killing innocent people for a variety of reasons, and we still get to go the Olympics and everything.
(I mean I'm not saying they're the same, and I kind of like that Russia got excluded from some of the friendly people's clubs when they started behaving like a rabid dog. Just, I'm saying maybe extending an olive branch every now and then is okay.)
If he doesn't show up, Biden should call Trump direct on his cell phone with a spoofed number from one of Trump's associates, and then ask him live on air why he's not at the debate, and offer to have the debate right then and there with Trump on speaker.
If you're gonna be in charge of the USA's intelligence apparatus, and your opponent is okay with weaponizing the power of that exact same apparatus against you when they feel like it, I think you should be allowed to flex with it just a little bit from time to time.
Yeah. You would have had to triangulate your way around to getting the information that is exactly the information that you knew already that it was.
"Sir, I need you to go to the oil that you used and check if it is non-hydrogenated or hydrogenated. It should be printed on the back of the label."
"What do you mean, I never had this problem before"
"Yes, I'm aware, they have changed the oil constitution recently. I'll be able to resolve this problem for you, I just need to know if the oil is hydrogenated or not."
"I don't see what that has to do with anything"
"Can you just check the back of the bottle, please? Then I'm sure we'll be able to get your recipe working again"
"Okay, well I didn't actually use oil, I used toothpaste because it was expired and I wanted to get rid of it"
"Aha! Okay, I understand sir. I'm glad we were able to get to the bottom of the issue you're having. So, if you make the recipe with toothpaste, it definitely won't taste the same or have a good consistency. I think if you switch back to using oil you'll find that the pancakes still taste the same as they used to"
"But I think I should be able to use toothpaste."
"Absolutely. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
Working in tech support be like
Every airline I have purchased even nonrefundable tickets from has been willing to refund it no questions asked within 24 hours.
VITAL caveat: This DOESN’T APPLY if you’re going through Kayak or whatever. Just buy direct from the airline. I learned this the hard way.
The gambit left him little choice but to immediately accept when the Biden campaign offered debate dates in June and September
I think this is vastly understating how prominently placed is total transparent bullshit, in the Trump mental model, and how willing his followers are to it
He can simply pretend that October 2nd is the real debate, and Biden is the one trying to back out because he’s too old and scared to debate Trump. If his followers also watched news with some connection to reality, and cross checked Trump’s pretenses against it, then they’d see the lie, but they don’t and they won’t.
Not even that complicated; just invite a religious scholar to explain what Jesus said, starting with caring for hungry people and immigrants and in general literally just what he taught and what he cared about
They'll shut that shit down like a female student with unpermitted clothing
But the fire will also incinerate my tent
I don't think that's the answer, although I get the sentiment
Boss makes six figures, I can’t pay rent
It’s either get a union or start living in a tent
Six times and 12% is a massive understatement of what's going to happen
Absolutely massive
