The place I'm planning to buy a home is so remote that I'm considering a backup car.

I learned how to repair my own vehicles after I was quoted $2,600 to install a $40 part. I could've also had an entire rebuilt engine shipped and swapped it in myself for about half that, but I ultimately decided to go with the $40 + basic tools.

Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the maple syrup.

I'm sat down with a republican family member and she curses the television every time Trump starts one of his ridiculous rants instead of answering a question. It's like watching a sports fan lament their favorite team losing.

FreeBSD went from 0.01% to 0% last month. 🪦

Maybe if you pulled yourselves up by your bootstraps, we could all live off our investment portfolios and the margaritas would just serve themselves.

I could sure use some of that money to buy the next iPhone. Just imagine what my friends would think if I didn't.

A semi-auto rifle ban is also one issue that I believe if we laid off of it, Republicans would be more willing to play ball with common sense gun regulation knowing negotiations weren't being made in bad faith and with an ultimate goal of opening a pathway to banning semi-auto rifles.

All of what I've said is already common knowledge to Republicans, but polls show they are open up to things like universal background checks and mandatory licensing. Just not when they feel like they need to use those things as a buffer to less justifiable regulatory ambitions. The Democratic attempt at voter appeasement with a hardball "all or bust" approach and a low willingness to have regulatory talks without a semi-auto rifle ban on the table has been very counterproductive on a federal level.

 

The company's name is Specialty Towing and appears to be the same one that went viral on social media after attempting to lift a car stopped at an intersection with the driver still inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqvDedeuCl0

 
 

It's like every other pineapple, but ✨Limited Edition✨ and 2.5 times more expensive.

They've got to be joking.

 

I decided to find and share an article that included perspectives from Navajo Nation after finding one (Police1) that curiously exempted their reasoning while presenting PR and excuses from the mining company.

 

You'll know it's their bot because the account is suspended and the profile page can't be viewed. They deliberately get the account shadowbanned and manually approve the posts from the moderator queue so users can't scrutinize the account's post history. I suspect they're buying upvotes because the posts frequently make it to the front page despite top comments being critical of the message.
