You want to live a successful life? Be the man the Smithsonian thinks only whites can be: Reliable, rational, independent, diligent and hard working, on time, planning for the future, competitive, assertive, problem solver, literate, polite, and avoids meaningless conflict.
Everyone has fancy answers, but the real answer is that the market (Murderers) can stay irrational longer than you (Magazine depth) can stay solvent.
Accept you were dealt a bad hand, and minimize losses by running instead of trying insipid games that will inevitably result in a deranged psycho calling your bluff, and a hundred murderers beating you death.

Well, Elon delivered on flying cars. It's time he begins work on the most important promise he ever made: Genetically engineering catgirls for domestic ownership.
I got a good laugh out of this medal. Flying through tunnels is apparently common enough in-universe that they made a medal for it. This is the way.

I don't know what's worse, that I'm going to be training Raytheon's newest AI missiles, or that Raytheon is going to convince me to pay them for that privilege.
You're a missile that can't slow down and the gaps keep getting smaller
- Steer it to the target as fast as you can
- Fly closer to the walls for more points
- Grapple hook to swing round corners
Game is Dumbfire

"He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viscously killed her children."
Good. That was his job. That was the duty the founders of our nation entrusted him with.
The Lindsay Clancy jury was packed with teachers and nurses who thought the hero holdout was "very arrogant" and "completely disregarded" their expertise.
"He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viscously killed her children."

Tune in to the X's first animation bloc - we're leaving the theater kids behind.

So that was a fucking lie.
But lets look at the upsides of self-checkout. When I self checkout, it takes me maybe a minute, and I'm not spending 15 minutes in line behind someone paying with four credit cards, a bag full of pennies, and old coupons that expired 3 years ago.
I did a whole research project on this in grad school. Companies reap over $300 BILLION a year in free labor from customers using self-checkouts. If they’re not going to pay customers, they can shave some price.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No public data supports the $300B free labor claim from self-checkouts. BLS data put total wages for ~3.2M US cashiers at roughly $100B yearly. Self-checkout has replaced only a portion of those jobs.

Unironically agree. The only punishments should be fines, community service, public floggings, and capital punishments. And even minor crimes should escalate you up that ladder to a hanging if you won't fucking stop.
I'm a prison abolitionist for lots of reasons. One is that I find it unacceptably cruel as a form of social organization to lock people in cages and tell them they'll be beaten or killed if they try to get out.

The worst part of my job is that I have to be exceptionally vague when I complain about it.
But damn, some of these motherfuckers are making me pro post-birth abortion.

The word "accidentally" is doing a LOT of work here.
It’s even more crazy how Iran fired thousands of “cheap” drones and missiles at several countries from thousands of miles away but not once accidentally hit a school, a university or a hospital.
It’s almost like their goal was defense & deterrence -not terror & ethnic cleansing.
