Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals… we’re SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that’s what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty

Yeah, they’re fine for what they are, but I’ll take that over shitting myself inside out by eating wheat

Domino’s hates selling smalls

Yet that’s the only size they sell their gluten free pies in. I rarely buy from there (my kid considers it a treat) but I hate paying $15 for plain 10" gf pizza that’s mid at best

Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

Seriously, “y’all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!”

Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it’s warranted, but you’re tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

All of this is bad faith and not sourced.

You can’t call it good faith to say, “hey, cut it out” while checks notes STILL SUPPLYING WEAPONS.

I didn’t want him to be a hypocrite if that’s what you’re implying

I logged into OKC after not being on there for years.

What the actual fuck? It doesn’t even make sense now

The old testament says a lot of the same shit. Acting like this shit is exclusively Islam’s domain is big bigot energy.

The whole situation is unbelievably fucked up. Fundamentalist Islam is in the mix but Islam in and of itself is not the cause.

JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.

I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)

No mention of JIS which is yet another “fuck Phillips” argument

The area formerly known as felony flats

My city has the most strip clubs per capita in the USA

I travel through Boring Oregon (just outside of Portland) who’s sister city is Dull, so I guess that’s me

There is a 100% chance this warning correlates with the actual content on this site being hot garbage

These… weren’t Brian’s books

Messiah is good

Children is decent but spotty

God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.

The last couple are kind of meandering and forgettable.

The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer as poppa Herbert

The legends books are garbage

The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.

I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome

Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens

Here’s the thing tho: it’s been “vote blue to save democracy” but the DNC is just as fucked up just without the outwardly fascist leanings. No one wants to vote for Biden, they just want to vote against Trump. It’s lose/lose and the most marginalized of us are going to get savagely fucked or slightly less fucked depending who’s voted in.

There’s no viable candidate who doesn’t want to give Isreal carte blanche to commit genocide with US backing, no one wants to address money in politics… the fucking economy is a mess for the rank and file, non owning class majority of us. If these very real issues are mentioned, suddenly it’s progressives’ fault the Trump with be president. Fuck all that. Explain why I’m supposed to be enthusiastic?

I get voting for harm reduction and by virtue of the electoral college, my presidential vote won’t matter in my state (my state has been “safe democratic” for the last half century) but when I cast my vote I will be holding my nose

Oh. Now the military gives a shit about pollution

If Germany invaded to set things right that would suck, but it would be amusingly ironic

Illini? As in what the University of Illinois sports teams are called
