I bought mine in the winter. Boy was I surprised. “Cheese grater chair”, as my coworker calls em, is not a misnomer. Still though, is buy it again

Wait for a sale and you’ll do pretty good

What the heck, me too! What color did you get? Does the texture bother your legs when wearing shorts?

First suggestion… Women are the same as a JPEG and the kids have been there are they talking to me?

Second suggestion… Women are you going to be able to get a new job at the end of the day?

Third suggestion… Women are so that we have the answers though and they have the best of us that are not the only ones I know of.

Hallucinations galore. Android Auto complete is… Not smart.

This is why playing outer planets is traumatizing.

The pillow. I would have peace. Probably wouldn’t stop sleeping though, then lose my job… hmmm maybe not.

Tough call.

Alright, you know what? This is ridiculous. This image—this image wants me to pretend it’s interesting. Pretend? I don’t have to pretend anything. You know what’s interesting? The fact that someone took the time to make this! That someone, somewhere, thought, “Hey, you know what the world needs? A big block of text that tells people how to feel about it.” That’s not just interesting; that’s hilarious! It’s like telling a joke and then explaining why it’s funny. The sheer audacity, the unmitigated gall of this image to demand our interest—it’s almost admirable. But here we are, discussing it! So, joke’s on us, I guess? -Lewis Black

To overcome this, I got a cheap low latency USB Bluetooth adapter. BT latency is still too much.

Pretty much. I wasn’t saying that so much to defend Biden as to agree with the fact that the US has done similar in the past.

I honestly think that Biden is conflicted;

On the one hand, I’m sure that it’s sound geopolitical strategy to support Israel. For the same kind of reasons it’s sound geopolitical strategy to support Ukraine.

On the other hand, Benny McGenocide over there is fucking it up for Biden and everyone else that supported Israel.

Biden reacted too slow, but he also had to balance competing interests. Definitely a no-win situation. He could not have easily stopped support for Israel, and I truly believe that he’s not a fan of the genocide.

His track record for pushing the US into war following 9/11 does reveal his character too. Actions do speak louder than words. It would be interesting to know what exactly was going on in his head back then. I think the conversation with netanyahu is interesting in that it shows what sounds like regret.

You’re right though. He’s done what he’s done. He’ll only ever at best be the least worst option.

The whole situation makes me sick and sad. War crimes answered with war crimes.

Right. Biden explicitly said “Don’t make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There’s no reason we had to be in a war in Afghanistan. There’s no reason we had to do so many things that we did.”

Like, Biden pushes HARD for that war. That’s the voice of regret. I suspect Israel will have similar regrets.

Too much death.

Well, there’s already a market in rooting cars to unlock features. Why not?

Oh the turntables…

Reminded me of this old joke:

Nooooooooooo!

Ok.

I guess I need to toughen up 🤣

Yes. I think harm is an excellent way to qualify it. As the old saying goes " if it ain’t harm none do as thou mote "

Yeah, there are a number of philosophical arguments against this but I think it’s an interesting starting point.

A few of the arguments being that it’s subjective, it creates a slippery slope, and it steps on first amendment rights of free speech.

I think the biggest question might be “so if we’re not tolerating the intolerant, then what are we doing when we’re not tolerating them?” Right? Do they get punished? Do they get socially shunned? Also in doing this do we give up on trying to “convert” them or convince them otherwise that they are incorrect in their thinking?

It seems like an interesting thought and I don’t think I’d really thought of it that way before. Thanks for your feedback!

Many thanks.
