It’s either this or a giant brand new home in a manicured gated community, there is no in between

Yeah, fair point. I had a counter I wanted to make, but it sounded more like US apologia than defense of Liberia’s national identity, so I’ll settle with “it’s a tricky subject”, which is hard to disagree with, haha

They’ve been independent for a while, isn’t it kinda disrespectful to say they’re “just a segregated colony”?

Like others have said, it’s definitely not “too good to be true” territory, but there’s so many things that can be wrong or not right with it that you’re much better off getting a new printer. Sure you might save $100 getting a used one but the chances of you spending weeks chasing a problem that you admittedly have no knowledge of diagnosing is just way too high for it to be worth it. For someone with a bunch of knowledge and experience this would be a decent deal, but so is a car with a check engine light or salvage title… could be (probably are) opening yourself up to way more headache than the money’s worth.

The chicken’s fate isn’t sealed until it is converted to poo.

There’s still time for you, little one

I liked the part where they used this song in Osmosis Jones (not the rape part but still)

Care to elaborate? I’m not really seeing the parallels… I guess there’s a line between Invincible/ Omni-Man and Zuko/ Ozai, but the only similarity there I see is good kid stops bad dad, and their characters and motivations are pretty different.

Wouldn’t they benefit from just showing the whole article with all the ads at once?

My guess is some marketing intern over there saw this phrase on a shitty US flea market and was like, “that’s a great slogan!”

It does not have to be “deciphered”. C’mon, now. It might seem kinda strange when it’s written out, but this is a completely normal sentence to say. The only way I can see this being misconstrued in good faith is maybe if English wasn’t someone’s first language, but if literally anyone besides Trump said this it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow, let alone be headline worthy.

Is there a specific reason why, or just… Trump bad?

Again, don’t get me wrong, Trump bad, but we gotta have standards.

“President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything."

That’s exactly what it is. Could’ve been stated a little more clearly but this is a completely coherent statement. The man does a dozen deplorable things a day, are we really that starved for headlines that this is what we’re reporting on?

Almost convinced that his administration is paying for these articles so people will look at them and complaints about the Epstein files as equally valid.

I usually try to just make myself do one of the “boring” things listed (like watch a show or play a game), if it’s so insanely boring that I’d rather do nothing then I’ll stop but even if I don’t find joy out of the activity I initially picked it’ll usually tell me what I do want to do.

“That’s what Gandalf did.”

Fucking savage. Lol.

God damn, it really just takes a jump off a cliff. I was at least willing to read it to gain an understanding of their perspective, but once I got to the “the difference between men and women is wokeness” section it just completely derailed any chance of me finishing it. We’re actually fucked.

Nice!

To make the bug nerds happy:

Are all bugs religious?

No, only the ones that are in-sects

I’m not saying your opinion is wrong or that you have to watch the video or anything like that, but videos like this are made so that you can see the testing procedure and judge it’s validity without just having to assume they did their job right. I wouldn’t trust someone just saying “yup, tried it out, doesn’t really matter 👍🏽”

DIY-ers unite!

I’m 100% gonna use all of those niche, one-off cables. Maybe just the connector will be useful…

That little metal bracket thingy? Uh, I don’t remember what it was for… or actually I do but I don’t have that thing anymore… But if I end up making something similar in size, I’ve already got a bracket!

Was this the box of good parts, or the box of bad parts? Eh, I don’t have time to test right now, better just keep both boxes… (followed by, "why isn’t this working? I just swapped in new parts…)

Ah, this completely useless thing I made! Ha! How foolish I was to think this would ever serve it’s intended purpose. I’d better keep it to remind myself how dumb I was.

Yup yup yup. Former service employee. You yell in my face and complain to my boss, I’ll give you the bare minimum of what you’ll consider as “what you want” for you to shut the hell up. Come up and level with me, treat me like a person that you are asking for help, I’m gonna do literally everything I can to get you what you’re asking for and more.
