I got one from a brand called Aquasonic a few years ago now and it's still going strong. It was about $30 and came with I think 12 extra brushes? Anyway, a great alternative to the more expensive brands imo.

I thought all the people acting like the feds care about this site were joking.

Yeah, I don't actually think the guy is good or anything. Being the best lib is super easy and not even a real accomplishment.

It's a joke not an essay. I just read something about Carter and it mentioned the pardon and anti-segregation, which I thought was funny in juxtaposition to the modern democratic prez. I don't want to argue, but you keep calling me a fucking lib so it's hard not to?

Lol it's not "electoralist" to jokingly compare two presidents

Absolutely. I didn't realize how bad it was until I had some content get out of my niche and got thousands of comments on a video. People are incredibly confident in their own opinions and refuse to investigate or think twice about anything. They'll make the same comment as hundreds of other people, asking the same question that's already answered in the description. I don't know how they do it, but people legitimately say whatever comes to mind and then never ever think about it again

Jimmy pardoned draft dodgers, Joe gave clemency to a judge that was taking bribes to send children to prison.

Jimmy fought to end segregation, Joe fought to keep it.

He's still a lib, but he's one of the best libs in recent times

Highspeed passenger rail across the entire country? Authoritarian!

Ancient rail across some of the country and commercial freight has the right of way? Freedom! 🦅🇺🇸🎇🔫

Realizing Santa wasn't real at 4 years old was the beginning of my radicalization. After that I believed nothing without looking it up first, which of course led me to communism. Idk how all these other contrarian fucks ended up libs

The Bentonville, Ark., chain founded by billionaire Sam Walton got its start 28 years ago by opening stores in rural towns like the 5,600-population Hearne. The 1,485-store, 32-state chain is the fastest growing retailer in the USA. K mart is its chief rival.

But it also has a reputation for hurting small-town businesses that can't match the lower prices the chain can offer due to volume buying.

The Wal-Mart effect has been so huge it's spawned the formation of consulting firms that specialize in advising small-town businesses on handling the arrival of a Wal-Mart.

This story seems to play out a lot with the US govt. Likely due to the lack of any real long-term planning.

  1. Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
  2. Do nothing for a while
  3. Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X
  4. Waste billions on propaganda, cost everyone money via tariffs, sanctions, bans, etc
  5. Realize it was never going to work and give up
  6. Do nothing for a while
  7. Start at step 1 again
