Get that boy a helmet and a doctor!

What could go wrong with such a brilliant strategy built upon an ultimatum, when we have a basic bunch of drunk podcasters in command of the military. The levels of Dumb and Wrong are way off the charts now

There’s an episode of Black Mirror about exactly that and it was hella depressing. I think it starred Chris O’Dowd and Mya Rudolph, who are both usually really funny actors, but it was the opposite of funny.

Generally people commute to jobs within a reasonable distance, from where they live if they can’t find a nearby job that’s good enough.

For example if you lived in the area of Edinburg, Illinois (population about 1000) you would have the jobs listed here available within 35 miles: https://www.indeed.com/l-edinburg,-il-jobs.html

In a semi-rural area like that, it’s only going to take you about 30 minutes to drive 30 miles on highways. It’s not like driving through 30 miles of city. It’s common for rural folks to have a 30 minute to 1 hour daily commute to work.

Remote work is really what’s best though.

Yep, it’s great to have room to breathe and do what you want, and still have a reasonable access to basic stuff nearby like groceries, general supplies. In the old days, living outside the city meant that it was hard to get anything that’s not common, boring, or basic. You’d have to drive to a Big City to get any kind of unusual stuff like skateboards or guitars. But we have online shopping now and you can get anything you want shipped to your doorstep, so I have no need for the city.

“Jobs only exist in big cities” because no one else outside of cities is able to make a living… all areas other than cities must therefore be uninhabited

A few years ago the IRS website wanted me to take a “video selfie” using a webcam to log in to access my tax stuff. I said Fuck That and ended the session. Finished my taxes through a 3rd party vendor instead.

Good list, what about Twin Peaks?

Tell me, is the name of this hospital Saint Crock of Shit? Is this a crock of shit that I’m holding?

Ugh that’s not right at all. There were much better shows that actually fit the description you wrote, like Twin Peaks for example.

Urban air problems are many, so it’s better to not live in an Urb

For your health!

No actually I can carry all the music I want in the storage of my phone. It’s nice to have unlimited access to it even when there is no cellular data or wifi available. Sometimes I go fully out of range of all Internets but I still have music.

Streaming is crap, I collect albums instead. Nobody but burglars can limit my access to my music collection.

I hope not but really IDK

I had to learn about it so my kid could play the games he wants to play that don’t work on Linux.

I bet she already knew about it before they showed her the picture

It is possible with W11 to install without copilot and other garbage using the right unattended setup XML and installer that facilitates it

Your math is a bit off, it’s usually just the distance across the Atlantic ocean

I wouldn’t buy their bullshit cars anyway. As an American who has been inside many, I can say that most American cars and trucks suck. Their reliability and build quality have driven me to only purchase vehicles from former WWII Axis powers nations.

I watched some local news yesterday where they covered the various explosions across the Middle East. They discussed the activity, the damage, the losses of life… then they pivoted to a local news reflection on what this all would mean for us at the gas pumps. “Gas prices expected to rise” as the chief takeaway for us to ponder how it affects us, immediately after discussions of hundreds of human beings being literally exploded. Makes me sick.
