Turns out if you simply send a check or online payment for the amount due to your lender each month they can’t repo your car. It’s naval law or whatever.

You could easily trim that Simpsons directory down by over 75% by only keeping the good seasons

Jump. The direction you fall is down. Up is the other way.

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It’s goal, to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call. Home away from home for diplomas, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. 500,000 Humans and aliens wraped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258.

The name of the place is Babylon 5.

No “chemicals” in hot dogs, nosiree lmao

I did understand what you said. “You don’t need to taste that, it’s natural, and natural things don’t contain chemicals”. Everything contains chemicals, and whether those chemicals are natural or artificial has no bearing on whether or not they’re harmful. You’re spreading hippie-dippy misinformation. Knock that shit off.

“natural” doesn’t mean “good”. Arsenic is natural. Oleander is natural. Hemlock is natural.

But I remember him saying he doesn’t even know who his wife is any more, and thinking, “Uh, you’re the one that changed.” But the way he said it made it sound like he thought she had changed, not him.

When people get married they either stop growing, grow together, or grow apart. It’s a crapshoot which is going to happen so it’s dumb to stand up in front of your friends and family and swear an oath that you’ll always be together when you can’t possibly know that

According to the article, the guy shooting them is Greek.

Of course not. Neanderthals died off 200,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. The US didn’t exist until 1776.

Gone with the wind had a black woman in it

but they vote to maximize profit not overall social benefit

They’re the same people that are voting in elections.

I can’t really understand the tradition of never trusting the government in the US

I used to trust them, before 9/11 when I was young and naive. Then the attack happened. We ended up with bipartisan legislation to strip our civil liberties, torture captives, spy on citizens in direct violation of the bill of rights, and invade 2 countries that had nothing to do with it. Never again.

People have no say in what corporations do

Shareholders do. They get a vote. The government is essentially a mutual fund you’re legally obligated to buy into.

If people don’t trust the government the attitude should be towards fixing it and enabling trust, not to accept it as is.

I agree. I also believe we should take care of that before we go granting them vast additional powers.

We are many times smaller than the US but we have minimum income, universal healthcare, unions are the norm, etc.

Thats a good example of why universal healthcare doesn’t need to be at the federal level here. States like New York and California are larger than many countries which have universal healthcare. What’s stopping them from passing it themselves?

I like the idea of universal healthcare. I have zero trust in the US federal government to implement it properly. I think it would be a clusterfuck and make things worse for everyone, especially with Republicans on the warpath doing everything they can to sabotage it.

Nvidia is persona non grata in the Linux community right now, apparently their drivers are shit

It’s not like I get to choose what is spent on, and yeah a shitload of it goes towards child murder. More of my money is spent hurting people than helping them.

I like paying taxes

I don’t. Every time a child is burned alive, every time hundreds are made homeless by a drone strike, every time a book is banned, every time an innocent is murdered by police, I’m part of that, I funded that. I hate it.
