Live free orand die.

I knew a guy who would unbuckle his seatbelt when driving in New Hampshire because state law says its optional.

A small price to pay for freedom. /s

Joking aside. I go to town meetings and without fail during public comment there is always at least one anti fluoride activist.

At least it makes it taste good. Brown sweet fluoride water is tastier than plain stinky fluoride water from the toilet.

If fluoride has no negative effects then explain why I am so stupid?

Yeah, water loaded with fluoride, estrogens and heavy metals. I’ll stick to my diet coke

Phew, thank God I’m not a mouse. I’ll keep drinking my diet sodas.

Saying it’s just ignorance and zealotry is a cop out. The Zionist state wouldn’t exist without massive investments from the west. They secular politicians use God to rally the Orthodox but their goals are ultimately colonial and capitalistic. There is an ungodly level of media and sentiment manipulation going on to paint either side the way you just did. If we all believe that either side is full of ignorant zealots then there’s nothing we can do to fix it. Let them kill each other for eternity, flatten Gaza and kill all the Jews. There is nothing we can do about it so why do anything?

Must be the flat feet

Conflating religious Jews with the nationalist Zionist governmenr is what probably caused this attack. Jew ≠ Zionist.

It’s a fun show and even more fun if you’ve ever worked in education.

Well said.

There will always be slop advertisements. I avoid traditional advertising by pirating or paying for an ad free version. I do still watch ads in the form of product reviews and such. There are great products that I found through advertising that I otherwise wouldn’t.

There is a lot of awful advertising and I’m numb to it, my brain doesn’t even register it.

The problem is bad advertising works. My job is related to the text messaging industry. We have clients that spent six figures on sending marketing messages, for every dollar they are spending on text marketing they are making 5x more in profit.

I like to think that there will be a shift in advertising towards more thoughtful placement as consumers learn to ignore but honestly I think that’s my own bias. Most people are susceptible to slop advertisements and so the slop will continue.

Abbot Elementary apple sticker ads are clever, minimally invasive and I argue that this is what advertising should be.

This is a creative, tongue in cheek ad for a comedy about school teachers. Teachers stereotypically are given apples so its related.

You cannot compare this to the Pluribus fridge ads or car infotainment ads which make no sense other than “get more eyes on it”.

Is this rage bait? Feels like rage bait.

Phew! Thank God I’m not a zebra fish, otherwise I’d need to seriously reconsider my diet high on sorbitol.

A nice console is what? 500? Last year I could have bought all new parts and likely meet the same performance or very close to a console. At $600 I think I easily exceed the performance.

Its a lot harder in 2025-26 because of RAM prices but I am confident you’re wrong on the cost thing.

You win on not having to build it and ease of use.

The idea of paying a subscription for something I already own to have a basic functionality is 100% unworkable for me. The last Xbox I owned was the OG box and I still have a PSX.

Going to have to push back on the not economically viable bit. Once you factor in not paying for online play and being able to pirate all your PC games it’s a much better deal.

In 60 Seconds starring Nick Cage

60 isn’t that old. My grandpa turned 85 and rides 50+ miles a week, he hasn’t fallen since he loves somewhere where cars can’t run him over.

Kinda wish you guys pulled a hello games and put it out for free, but I also understand the economics and not every dev can do it. I’ll buy it when it goes on sale.
