Having children demonstrates one of two things: wealth, or intelligence.

On one hand, if you can afford to overcome the obstacles, children seem like a good idea, usually from family wealth, since nobody is going to become wealthy. You’re either born into it, or you’re extremely lucky and you win the lotto or something, which is so unlikely it’s hardly worth mentioning.

On the other hand, if you’re too dumb to know how fucked we all are, or you’re too dumb to use protection in some form… Well. Yay kids? Idk.

Everyone with somewhere close to an “average” IQ, or better, who isn’t part of the upper class with family wealth, is basically represented here.

And if you don’t sin, then Jesus died for nothing.

As a straight dude, I know lots of straight dudes that are represented in this picture.

We all have our little problems. ❤️

Hey! I bet you’re a really cool person!

Am I doing this right?

MVL (most valuable lemming) right here.

I’ll have to look into this. There’s a few spots around my home that I’d like to be less noisy.

WHAT?

Oh good, I made it in time. Woo.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah… That’s entirely fucked.

Guy wearing tac gear with a police branding on him, no badge in sight and covering their face like a common thug. Shoots unarmed woman in vehicle while she was trying to exit the situation in any way possible.

The only part of this that I’m thankful for is that her death was probably quick and relatively painless. Everything else about this screams hostile takeover.

I mean, that’s not new, we’ve been seeing similar bullshit forever, brought to the spotlight previously by the BLM movement. They’re just not discriminating against only POC. Now it’s anyone who isn’t them.

If that’s what happened, they should release the body cam footage… Oh wait.

Post-mortem determination of guilt.

You were shot therefore you must have been a bad person deserving of being shot.

This is toxic thinking at it’s finest.

I’m not saying I have a better solution or a better setup at home. I’m doing something extremely similar. I would 100% say that my solution sucks… But it works.

There’s plenty of ways to do it.

I wanted to get an x16 to dual oculink 8x connector card with a matching dock, so I wouldn’t have to give up any bandwidth while getting high end graphics going, but I can’t find anything that fits that bill. So I have a riser cable bodged together with the case of my system perpetually open.

It works. I don’t love it, but I don’t have the time/money to find/buy what I feel would be more ideal. So this is what I’ve done.

I don’t want to give up half the PCIe lanes and I can’t find a way to do that with anything that’s not a riser cable.

So here I am.

Thanks, I always wondered how other people solved this exact problem.

Now I know.

Poorly.

Carry on.

Gas stoves have a place, and I’m not about to take away anyone’s choice on the matter. With all that being said, to the title of this article, I say “duh”… Honestly, who thought that cooking using an open flame inside your home was somehow safer than the alternative?

I use electric, I’ve pretty much always used electric. I will continue to use some form of electric stove. I want to have complete control over the heat going into my cookware, and while it may not be as flashy or as quick to use electric, I can’t see any situation where electric would not be safer.

“when I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong” … This is a statement of intent. That you will say you’re wrong, when you are wrong…

This is not an admission of fault. This is not saying “I am wrong”.

Way to dance around saying the one thing that actually matters in this whole damn thing… And… You’re sorry? I don’t want your sorry. What will your sorry do for everyone fucked over by the rapist convict you put in the Whitehouse?

Fuck you. I hope the leopards eat the rest of you too.

I can’t stop laughing about it, though I hope that Kitty was able to get back to a more typical size.

I understand your reasoning, but please God no.

Why all the construction? Is he building 11 ballrooms?

I don’t hate all the new shows. They have merit, but they basically cheated. They can omit, change, discard, ignore, or otherwise leave out any and all lore because of the universe reset that happened with the new trek. It gave them a clean slate so that they would have the creative freedom to do whatever they wanted.

Weighing it against other sci-fi shows in a similar vein, the new series of shows/movies holds up for the most part, against Star wars, and shows like the Orville. But as star trek, I think they did a disservice to the fans by rebooting it in the way that they did. All the existing universe and lore built by TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and all the movies up to that point, is all basically voided. Where you would know that, if they introduce worf, for example, even as a young warrior, you would know what he will become if the canon wasn’t voided. Now? They can use the characters and come up with any reason for them to make a different choice, dramatically changing the outcomes.

But, if you judge it as a separate thing, loosely based on trek, it’s not bad.

I’ve never seen something useful come out of an LLM when it comes to tech support.

Early TNG was a bit rough. They had the right people, but some of the plot lines were strange an in some cases quite prejudiced.

Around season 3 they got their stride going.

Not every episode of season 1 is good. They were trying stuff and seeing what resonated with a new generation of trek fans.

I’m not saying anyone should skip it, but there are episodes that make me question why they even thought it was a good idea to do that.
