We should get rid of the republicans. We know who they are and where they live.

That person is stupid. Like, profoundly. They cannot escape their self constructed cage of emotions.

I'm so tired of emotionally stunted, intellectually incurious, fools ruining the world for everyone.

If those two shitheads said we should drink more water I'd check with other sources first.

Fuck them. I hope they both die for what they've done

I don't drive anymore because I live someplace with transit and sidewalks, but when I drove I always signalled turns. Low effort, high safety.

This is true. People are bad at crisis and it's not something a set of skills you can easily practice. I do think some hobbies probably help- some stressful video games, some sports and sporting-like things like paintball- but on the whole a lot of people live pretty simple lives where the most surprising, stressful, thing to happen is they almost burned their microwave popcorn. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it leads to disappointing behavior

Eventually someone is going to shoot some DOGE agents dead and I won't be mad.

I don't think retail theft is as big as retailers claim ( https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/18/business/retail-shoplifting-shrink-walgreens/index.html ) , but even if it was it's still not even close

In 2012, there were 292,074 robberies of all kinds, including bank robberies, residential robberies, convenience store and gas station robberies, and street robberies. The total value of the property taken in those crimes was $340,850,358. By contrast, the total amount recovered for the victims of wage theft who retained private lawyers or complained to federal or state agencies was at least $933 million in 2012. This is almost three times greater than all the money stolen in robberies that year. Further, the nearly $1 billion successfully reclaimed by workers is only the tip of the wage-theft iceberg, since most victims never sue and never complain to the government.

Pay people more work and have them do dignified jobs (ie: not making them pee in a bottle) and you'd have more people working.

Treat people like shit and crash the global economy, not so much.

But it's not like conservatives care about making sense of being consistent. Hang mike johnson.

Wage theft is bigger than all other theft combined, but your coworkers probably aren't nearly so upset about that.

That's excessive for typical people. The flowers and chocolate are going to look like you're expressing romantic interest, which is inappropriate to do to a child.

Conservatives aren't known for being smart or rational. It's a worldview of emotions and immediacy.

A friend of mine had a similar thought. He was sitting down to do some work on an open source game, and then was like "Wait. What am I doing?" and he made his own game from scratch. ( This one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1271280/Rift_Wizard/ - It's good, but kind of too hard for my brain )

It helped that he a had a lot of xp in game development. I imagine some of the boring, difficult, stuff doesn't have as many people readily available. There's a lot of "Why does the game crash if I push the up arrow key when I'm in my inventory, sometimes?" stuff you have to worry about when you're doing the whole thing.
