Crash test dummies?

Sorry, my Finger Eleven album is feeling triggered.

Coronavirus is here to stay now, just like the flu.

By ‘the flu’, do you mean that virus where one entire strain was eradicated by masking and distancing over the winter?

THAT flu? The one with the strain that died out after trivial effort? Do you want to use it as an example of some perennial curse, or are you saying that we can eradicate covid again with similarly trivial effort?

It’s gonna be emacs. You know it, we all fear it, but it’s gonna be emacs and some visicalc-mode shit.

No chance of help to protect his homeland from belligerent invasion? You’ve got to cut the losses.

Then Russia can invade in another 10 years and take more. Yay! It can be an every-decade thing!

Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

I like how the article delivered that fact in a way that focuses on their inadequacy while highlighting their existence. It’s like "we know they had a backup option, so shut up. They still weren’t good enough to be available for the emergency when they’re hidden behind shit.

If I put a half-wall up in my house in front of a visible window that can be used as emergency egress, I’m in shit. This hidden latch is no better.

listen to what the people are screaming for.

Progressives promise “better for the American 99%”.

People screaming for something no party could deliver or neither candidate could promise were confused. People who voted for the worst option imaginable for all factors including the impossibilities they were demanding are morons who deserve the leopards.

Perfect is the enemy of better.

This has been explained so many times.

Assertion unsupported by any facts.

Honestly, I just want to go through all these sites and red-pen the basic English errors. We’re supposed to be better than this.

Also, the house is BONKERS-gorgeous. I can dig the quasi-finished basement and the uncovered window near the bath - that’d be fixed soon! - but the painted-wood floors really take me back to my youth (although they were painted for us because we had no money to put proper flooring down). I love the exposed hot-water heating, as our unfinished basement had that along the roof neat the support structure, too. For me, this is all retro-based joy.

But that room; what do you do? Paint would desecrate it, but leaving its eyesore self is also sacrilege. One can only either sell the entire house on as this owner has done, or perhaps find a way to remove the roof and wall panels and rebuild them in some rich wank’s monkey-house somewhere else. Rich bastard’s not taking the floors but he can have the custom finishes too.

All this for c$8k/mo . That’s double my rent, and we’re really proud of our new apartment, in a big building with AC standard, atop a huge secure garage and in the middle of a relaxing 15-min mini-city design just steps from the metro. I can’t be lured away for double, brick walls and painted mohogany be damned.

Saw the writing on the wall, there.

You spell ‘failed critical thinking’ with a w. Okay.

You just look down on other people instead of trying to understand why they did what they did.

Strong anti-generalization assertion.

Except

You are the reason I dislike liberals.

Ah shit, you opened with a cheesy generalization. Validating to see the"every accusation is a confession" thing holds.

But let’s get into it.

• one was bad but could be swayed

• one was worse on all counts for all criteria, was only getting worse, can’t be fixed and would tear down all the checks and balances that make government work

They picked the second option, overwhelmingly, despite the massive damage to the very fabric of the nation and the insanely worse prospects for them as a recognizable minority.

Logic it out.

That’s not happy laughter. That’s “look at the thing you’ve done to all of us” laughter.

Let’s be discerning: there was the potential for a better path out of this, but people decided on the definitely-worst-case-for-everything option on this binary choice, to ensure everyone suffers as much as possible in every situation, most assuredly during the belligerent invasion by Israel.

It was explained over and over; you need more time?

Is there a reddit-free option?

Fair. Painful and mean, but also fair.

There’s someone on lemmy from my building. It’s only about 350-400 units.

Wood? You mean Fire’s Favourite Food?

probably have two last names.
