  • Yeah for real, why is Bill Gates still among polite society?

  • This is mostly a reference to the horse from Ren and Stimpy

  • No sir, I don't like it

  • What that would really mean is an erosion of the tax base and possibly a demographic crisis.

    But I seriously doubt that the population of femcels female volcels is getting larger as much as it is getting louder and coping in a way that makes a good headline.

  • That's true and worth noting. The difference is much starker when the benchmark is food and fuel, since real estate (and stocks) rose much higher compared to other things.

  • Between 2020 and 2024 there was about 22% inflation. 1.22x$195,400=$238,388. So there's still over $110,000 of price inflation to account for past devaluation of the dollar.

  • Dr. Pepper's pronouns are we/us, because 🎵 Dr. Pepper you're a part of me 🎵

  • Are you White Adjacent? Our operators are standing by, call today to see if you qualify!

  • The Curtis Yarvin / Peter Thiel "Dark Enlightenment" was overtly anti-democracy and had some dollars behind it, but has been a clown show of an ideology from the start (over 15 years ago) and has only withered more in daylight.

    Whether it's morally right, there's a wide canyon between proposing an entire alternative political system, and deplatforming people on X or Starlink.

  • So why even mention your million rounds as a reply to "I just fired a gun right next to your head, neither of us was wearing ear protection and now we’re having a conversation at normal volume"? Talk about ignorant.

  • You realize it's a function of distance and that function is logarithmic, right? A gunshot at one foot is a hundred times louder than it is at 20 feet. If you were exposed to a million gunshots of any caliber from a foot away, you would be profoundly deaf.

  • I've shot a few thousand rounds. 9mm is very loud. Shoot it in a closed space just once without earpro and you will cause permanent damage to your hearing.

    I don't think a million round sample size would help you in judging this.

  • You have a right to a cat. If you do not have one, one will assign itself to you.

  • What's hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you'd get for a scientific test.

  • Usually biodiesel compatibility is a function of fuel pumps and injectors, the high performance ones are $$$. I wouldn't assume Euro models are biodiesel compatible, the VW diesels weren't after the 'Pumpe düse' era.

  • My god what an embarrassing take
