Pour one out for all the unfortunate souls actually named Karen who aren’t Karens

That’s true, possibly. I’d hope that whoever translated it would phrase it to preserve the original intent but that’s assuming it was actually a person doing it. Wild times we live in

“I apologize for those who were offended.”

‘I’m sorry you’re offended by my abhorrent opinions’

Notice he’s not actually apologizing. At all. He’s just sorry he’s catching flak about it

I’m in the middle of it right now but I’ve got an old plug in oil heater that I decided to pop open the cover and have a look-see before condemning myself to buying another for probably $100ish.

I am so far from comfortable working on electronics or woodworking or traditional guy stuff, but this radiator is old in the sense of it’s built like a brick shit house and hooked up to a simple mechanical switch with 3 wires, one of which is the power cord that finally disintegrated from the heat.

It’s so simply built even I can feel confident swapping out for a new mechanical switch and some new wiring.

That would explain the heavy layer of eyeliner tbh

I mean yeah that’s true.

But on reddit reposts were everywhere and it was very common for bots to karma farm by doing so, so calling it out had a purpose.

My first instinct was to call this a repost as I remember seeing this like 4 years ago on reddit but this is a different platform altogether.

Though it Is worth the reminder to Treat yo self

Train whistle and the sound of the train rumbling by in the distance is deeply relaxing, doubly so if after nightfall or if I’m drifting off to sleep.

Thanks for making a great app purple man

"Evidence of evolution

The extreme detour of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, about 4.6 metres (15 ft) in the case of giraffes,[32]: 74–75  is cited as evidence of evolution, as opposed to intelligent design. The nerve’s route would have been direct in the fish-like ancestors of modern tetrapods, traveling from the brain, past the heart, to the gills (as it does in modern fish). Over the course of evolution, as the neck extended and the heart became lower in the body, the laryngeal nerve remained in its original course."

I think this is what he was getting at

Alright! Dystopian nightmare timeline is a go!

I especially like the part where cops are reported to heavily abuse these databases for personal agendas or to share with criminals. Truly ACAB

This is a very good reason to maintain the appearance of neutrality while facing your local community

This might even be an argument for putting those smoked opaque covers on your license plates even if it’s questionably legal. There’s more than a few people out there with definitely not legal smoked covers to the point you literally can’t read their plates unless you’re tailgating them, and cops don’t give a shit because nobody is ever pulled over for illegal mods. I’d wager that the cameras can’t read them either if you can’t at 10 yards

About god-damned time someone did something about that.

Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we’d pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

I would downvote this if I could.

This kind of shit is what’s actively making the internet a worse experience.

No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole’s website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

Oh that’s why no videos would load.

Damn it

Looks like a beautiful day for a hike!

And once posted in the local gossip group, they’re now forced to deal with it

True, but as far as anyone knows that’s not a risk amplified or mitigated by climate change. Shouldn’t affect prices like a growing wildfire or hurricane threat would

If you’re in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it’s valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

Unfortunately the smoke doesn’t but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

Detroit definitely is. Stuff is cheap there and things are turning around, just doesn’t have the momentum or wider recognition of any of this yet.

There’s a reason why Portland Oregon was so well known for being weird. Parts of the city were dingy for a long time but if you were glass half full about that it meant living there was affordable. All the poor creatives could live in a city open to change, not just the folks with high paying bullshit jobs that normally are the only ones who can afford to live close to work in the city.

If I had the money to invest in some real estate, I would have bought stuff in the Detroit area since it’s got all the same ingredients to be the next Portland

Don’t threaten me with a good time
