Sadly elongated pennies will probably go away. We get them where ever we go, and have forever. There's a penny finder app, or at least there was. I have run into a few nickel machines. The results aren't as nice (or as customizable), but they're better than nothing

@pegobry_en My unasked-for take is that sci fi as a genre was created by and large by people who had military and trades experience, and that's largely lost in modern sci fi, and part of it is that they don't even let people of working class background into writers' rooms anymore.

We found out with the twitter location doxxings that all the Democrat accounts are Canadian all of the MAGA accounts are Indian and all of the US Govs are located in Israel what a crazy plot twist

Classic low-key upstate New York hero

The Twitter location dox is the first acknowledgment of something thought unthinkable in the west, that China figured out long ago - that we do not owe the whole world membership in our town square.

Just learned that those bits on sci-fi ships, maybe you could say what they do, maybe not, and are there for realism or style, even though no character interacts with them are called "greebles" or "greeblies," and process of inventing and implementing them is calls "greebling"

We're going to get another Iryna every month or so Forever and deportations won't fix it.

Having racially homogenous countries was normal for basically all of history up until about five minutes ago, when it suddenly became the most evil thing in the world.

The Simpsons actually predicted this

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

95% of the divide between the establishment right and the new right is the new right explaining how things actually work and the establishment saying "I don't like that, it feels icky" Then the establishment right uses the icky thing against the new right instead of the left.

Go back to bed, old man.

Oh this is an easy question

Death taxes are a war on civilization itself, a campaign against the desire to build for the long term and demand to instead focus on wasteful and frivolous consumption in the present They are, in effect, a demand that we tax ourselves into going from First World to Third

An iconic moment, featuring one of the longest laughs ever recorded from a studio audience on American television. Ed Ames showing Johnny Carson how to throw a tomahawk on The Tonight Show in 1965.

America is very uncomfortable with class. We have a fundamental belief that everyone can and should succeed, and of course that doesn't happen, so every now and then we panic and try to fix the resulting problems with paper and tape, rather than rethink our worldview. It's a

My aunt’s husband left her in 1986. No child support. She went to work as a cashier at the local grocery store. She was able to buy a modest three bedroom home in a decent neighbourhood and raised her daughter on that income. That’s been stolen from us.

Mencken charming as always

"The deculturation of a people does not end with the disappearance of the bourgeois and its 'Little Replacement' by the petty bourgeois; the 'Replacement' takes on a new dimension, becoming Great, in the moment at which the entire people and not merely its elites become

This is because Civil Rights law is specifically tailored to encourage and aid the dispossession and disenfranchisement of white Americans, who compose the bulk of the Republican voter base It is illegal to remove Democrat districts because that is "racist" and thus illegal
