    who knew that knowing you should clean the filter on your dryer made you racist.

    I guess I’m a Nazi because I know you should clean the filters on your dishwasher, clothes washer, and HVAC every three months.

    🤔 something about this sentiment doesn’t add up now that I’m thinking about it.

    I think the word they forgot is prejudice, not “common sense”.

      The point is “common sense” is the justification people gove when they don’t have reasons for their beliefs.

      I assume and hope you could give 1 good reason for each of those things you do.

        because I want to improve the longevity of my tools as long as possible so that I can starve the corpo-fascists of their lifeblood.
