This will be the third or fourth “once in a lifetime economic crisis” I’ve lived through in my lifetime and I’m barely 30.

If the company becomes unprofitable, it will need money from outside to keep going, and in an environment of quickly falling share prices […]

Oh, oh, I know this one! The answer is “a government bailout!”

Salt and vinegar (or sodium chloride, if you want to buy it ready made) is an easy to prepare solution that is excellent for etching metal.

They’re banking on that happening so they can cry terrorism and swing emergency powers into full effect in response. Then they won’t even have to detain you they can just shoot you on the spot. They’re soft rolling the ethnic cleansing right now but if people start fighting back against it they’ll probably stomp the accelerator on it.

In case you weren’t aware (it sounds like you’re not) :

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Cataclysm

This isn’t going to teach you how to play but it’s an excellent reference wiki

Well you’ve already lost that bet, because he self-identifies as a dictator and Republicans submitted a constitutional amendment to remove the two-term limit the day after he was confirmed.

So pay up

Similarly, when I tried to learn to play using a mute, it sounded like absolute dogshit because the mute changes a ton about how the instrument sounds and feels to play. You’re going to sound (and probably be) off key and the lung pressure feels different because you’re blocking part of the air flow out of the instrument. It requires a technique adjustment to sound right.

I missed the original, but Scorched 3D was a big hit at my high school.

Like a solid half of all antivaxxers are anti vax because they’re convinced that Bill Gates is putting microchips in your bloodstream to control your brain waves.

English is a mish-mash hodgepodge of two dozen other languages, many (most?) of which are Romantic/Latin-based.

I do think they need to have a good sample size to get results that make sense, yes.

Doing some research on it, seems like Quinnipiac’s standard polling is conducted “in more than 20 states and cities as well as nationally” (particular locations not specified) and has typically 1,000+ respondents using random digit dialing. Meaning they just slap random numbers into the phone and see who picks up.

I can’t say I can immediately come up with a better solution right off the top of my head right now, but I can identify several problems with their approach, namely being actual size of sample (1000 respondents is 0.000003% of the population) and the way they gather their responses (when was the last time you answered the phone for an unknown caller? Now when was the last time your grandmother did?).

Eh, I don’t think you need to apologize for anything. I am being a grumpy, cranky old asshole after all.

And you’re right, anyway. No group of people are truly homogenous. Not all Boomers are bad in the same way that not all Democrats are good. I lose sight of that sometimes and I notice that others do too. It is in our human nature to group and categorize people and things and then to make sweeping assumptions about those groups. I try not to fall into that trap when I can notice it, but I’m just as fallible as the next guy.

Nowhere in that statement did I call out Boomers specifically. This is a cross generational problem. I call out bullshit culture war voters which are, overwhelmingly, older folks. But they’re not completely to blame. There are plenty of younger working age people that fall for this same brain dead bullshit. But that’s what it is, is brain dead bullshit.

I’ve got plenty of real issues with all sorts of real shit, that’s just one of them.

I didn’t mean this in such a way as to call you out personally. Sorry if it seemed that way. I’m just sick and fucking tired of human rights being constantly stripped back for everyone and these fucking fools still just going along with it all happy and joyful because someone else is going to get killed to keep their retirement fund happy. With all due respect, of which exactly none is due, fuck that.

This isn’t an age issue. I don’t care how old or young anyone is. I care about them actively speeding us all into hell, collectively, because people think the DOW average is more important than the lives and livelihoods of our citizens.

Money is the root of all evil.

Your gleeful wishing of death and despair to people who have worked their entire life is somewhat gross.

Their gleeful wishing of death and despair to people who have done nothing to them except mind their own fucking business is somewhat gross. Reap what you sow. I’ll care about your 401k when y’all decide to care about human rights. Trump is in office because of culture war bullshit about gays and trans folks more than anything else. So I don’t want to hear it. Y’all collectively decided that punishing people who have done nothing wrong is more important than your retirement so now it’s time to lie in that bed you’ve made.

I’ve never heard of that polling agency in my life before. I had to look it up, it’s a private university in Connecticut.

I sure didn’t get polled about any of this.

So no, more precisely, half of all people polled by this one school in a state that nobody talks about approve of what he’s doing. I’m willing to bet half of those people have no idea what’s going on.

I have a very hard time believing that half of all Americans are happy and content with current events. I live here, I hear people complain.

I’m a troglodyte, I’m cool with that, but yeah it isn’t for everyone.

Just gotta learn to glide bro, you’re trying too hard. Hit a good updraft and off you go

The steam deck can run RPCS3 I played a good amount of Demon’s Souls that way

Nah it’s this guy

Like gdog said, no, you don’t actually. Being homeless is illegal in a ton of places.
