Waymo cars Hit the Freeways
waymo's are fun for the novelty when I'm in SF and, I guess, now Austin. But for regular (non-company expensed) use, it's too rich for my blood. You can take my cheap UberX Honda CRV with one donut and a broken trunk latch driven by a friendly hispanic named Josuelangelo from my cold, dead hands!

Sorry, I think someone brought it up and you know how those conversations can go into a rabbithole.

100% agree. Nobody has to be all-in on "abolish ICE" from their more limited and narrow remit, but this in MN is clearly overstep and wrong.

Minneapolis ICE Murder
I think if you google it you can see the scholarly debates over the years about it but some more laymen ones below. I think it depends on the Christian's interpretation but there seems to be an argument and suggestion that indeed, it was novel and supernatural and would have been considered insane. Why else would one need the insane faith of Noah to build a huge boat over a lifetime for an event (rain and a rain-caused flood) that the world and it's inhabitants had never seen nor even heard of. Christianity Stack ExchangeDoes Scripture mention whether it rained before the flood?I've often heard it said that the flood of Noah was the first time that the earth experienced rain. This is the passage people use: Genesis 2:5-6 ESV When no bush of the field was yet in the land...and

Minneapolis ICE Murder
Have you considered that rain for 40 days would be as supernatural and insane to people then as fusion is to us today when (canon/biblically speaking) the earth and the earth's inhabitants had never seen rain before....as in, rain as we understand it didn't exist to that point. Also apparently it didn't come from the sky...no....the earth opened up and it came from underneath. I think this snippit of a conversation alone highlights how a) ignorant people are of what the bible actually says versus what they think or have grown up hearing the bible says and b) how biased people are to think that the supernatural insanity that Christians would characterize as "God revealing himself or his nature to us" in things like fusion on the sun and rain for 40 days, and whatever future knowledge and discoveries that blow our mind in 100 years; they are all functionally the same thing.

"Hey, at least Minneapolis Gov. Tim Walz finally did a very somber photoshoot at Renee Nicole Good’s memorial. Only took him about five days to get over here. Longer than he waited to mourn The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir, in case you were wondering."

The Trump Economy
Middle Class shouldn't have to pay the highest rate on ANY dollar of income, is the point. But look what happens when you start talking about taxing billionaires like in California the last couple of weeks. I think the Google guys already got their Bug out bag and are halfway out of the state with others making a lot of noise about. Oh great, the richest man in the state and founder/ceo of one of the few trillion dollar companies is gracious enough to give a one-time tax donation, which isn't nothing, but all the other billionaires are like roaches under the couch when the lights come on.

The Trump Economy
I think that USED to be the case (cue the Steinbeck or Twain quote about being temporarily embarrased millionaires) but I don't believe it's quite as you say anymore. I think most of the middle class is resentful that the pie has shrunk so much that there isn't really a great separation between the three traunches anymore. It's billionaire class and then the rest of us. Middle class people see even being a "millionaire" which a lot of people are due to 401k's plus home equity via net worth doesn't mean what they were conditioned to think being a "millionaire" was supposed to mean. Being a millionaire today just means you might one day get to retire in middle class comfort and keep agency over your money and estate decisions and die in your own house or hospice of your choice until you either go senile or die. There are multiple think pieces out and I don't want to "The Lost Generation" this thread, but the middle class is getting screwed at the expense of mostly the billionaires and there should be an awakening to that and that alone. Stop trying to throw in all the pork barrel initiatives with it that kill support (LGBTq stuff, poor stuff, etc.). Maybe the numbers don't back it up and the demographics don't back it up, but it feels like if the middle class would wake up and rise up, the numbers should be on our side.

The Trump Economy
Politically speaking, it's a problem because it's not inherently a political problem. So the middle class gets cucked no matter who is in office and it's being crushed from both sides (but mostly the elite class). So when it sucks when a D is president, you get people thinking "what the heck, can't be worse and why not go for the other guy" and then when it's completely and drastically worse under the other guy, God willing we get the D back in. But then nothing fundamentally changes for the middle class. I know that Ayn Rand was stupid and racist and it's fun to poke fun of sophomoric libertarians, but the middle class in 2026 does feel an awful lot like Atlas when it comes to being exhausted by holding up the system for both the billionaires and the poor at the expense of the recursive comfort and privilege that the middle class lifestyle used to promise and stand for.

Clearly people aren't familiar with Theo Von's well-worn act.- What's happening in Iran?
This is amazing watching the possibility of Iran's regime toppling. There's a good chance they can survive this, but it's also a puncher's chance of happening and that would be amazing for everyone.- Alamo Drafthouse Committing Suicide
Yea, WELL. OKAY. you know WHAT? I didn't KNOW I wasn't supposed to text not use paper and pen in your crappy little theater! So EXCUSE me. For wanting to use paper and pen in the MUNITED SMATES OF AMERICA!- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
I don't understand this one at all. People are pretending to be in elementary school again by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and that's a flex?- Minneapolis ICE Murder
The rapture isn't biblical FYI- RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
RFK reminds me of that one person in your family who is super conscious about some things and has a good intention on some things (e.g. my kids can't have red dye and no way do we do refined sugar and hyperprocessed foods) but then it cuts the other direction pretty crazy (e.g. vaccinations cause autism, etc.). But I do think SOME things he says are actually sane when it comes to diet.- RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
I said this in another thread, but I was in a crappy part of town in the 'hood and chanced upon a dollar general or family general, one of the big chains. They even had a little produce section with whole food and a mister going to keep the food from drying out. I was actually flabbergasted. If even food deserts in the hood can get some healthy food, thatj's a good thing. - The Lost Generation essay
