THANK YOU

I’m normally critical of Biden but this is one of the few times I’ll say it. Biden staying in the race is the best thing he can do.

It doesn’t matter when he drops out at this point, the time to do that was 8 months ago. If he drops out now and there’s an open convention, democrats lose in November. If he drops out after the convention, and the DNC chooses a different candidate to replace him, Democrats lose in November.

The last time anything similar happened, there were riots outside the DNC in Chicago and Hubert Humphrey safely handed the office to Richard Nixon.

Fun fact, Hilary Clinton attended the protests.

What happens at the Y stays at the Y

You mean every opinion I don’t like isn’t automatically a tankie Russian bot???

Closer to 10. Yes.

This is a pretty common thing in the American Midwest. You see it a lot around houses on the tops of hills, especially in new construction. It looks kinda silly for a few years but it’s the best you can do sometimes.

This idiotic bullshit happens all over, it’s just more concentrated in the South.

This happened to a friend of mine from the UK in fixing Minnesota. He had NO context for what was happening and almost shit his pants.

I was referring to Joseph Campbell.

Almost all of the Christian folklore surrounding Jesus can be directly tied to other myths that were common knowledge to Mediterranean people at the time.

There was a dude called Jesus, there were a lot of them. That one was Jewish and belonged to an evangelical cult was likely. But we can’t really say that because the Bible exists so too must have the Jesus described within.

What we have today was written by people hundreds of years after the fact. There was nothing written during these events, nothing at least that survived.

If you go looking for proof of Jesus, you’ll either come out disappointed, or delusional. Think of guys like Ken Ham.

Keep the faith, by all means. But part of believing is accepting that you don’t get to have proof.

Pack it in guys this is the comment.

Hey now, the felons I work with are all cool dudes just trying to rebuild their lives.

The sons of car dealers are all working in the main office trying to fuck up our lives.

Your data isn’t yours to keep. It’s already gone, for sale to the highest bidder for pennies, several times a day.

But it IS yours to spoil. Become unhinged.

Also, ummm, titanium gets hot. Like all metal gets hot when you cut it, that’s just how friction works.

But titanium is gummy.

When we cut steel it makes a nice clean chip until the tool is dull, then it’ll make ugly chips.

When we cut aluminum or copper, we have to use tools with fewer teeth so they don’t get clogged up with chips. This is fine because these materials are so soft and we can run cutting speeds so high that having fewer teeth isn’t a big deal.

But titanium is both gummy, in that it wants lots of space between cuts because it’ll clog up teeth, and very hard, in that it wants lots of teeth making smaller cuts.

It’s also a shit conductor. Aluminum and copper will whisk away heat. Titanium gets hot and stays that way.

So your titanium jewelry, wherever applied, that needs to be cut off of you, will need a diamond saw, which isn’t really a cutting tool, it’s an abrasive one. Meaning it works through aggressive, point blank friction.

My point is if you smash your titanium cock ring on, it’s going to not only require a very uncomfortable proximity to a power tool to remove it, it’s going to absolutely burn the fuck out of your dick.

I’m a machinist. We have the tool you need.

But we’re on break.

And more than likely was more than a decade out of date when you first opened it.

They may be preparing for a remodel, in which many of the shelves get torn out and replaced with new ones. They don’t want to shut down the store to do it and need a lot of storage space to hold shelving while they replace units one at a time over night. So already clearance stuff gets clearanced harder to get it out of the way.

This has been brought to you by your surly neighborhood shelving guy.

Is this maybe at a hobby lobby?

This was a different person. They’d taken a username of someone popular in a number of communities on Reddit and were purporting to be that person.

There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don’t check it frequently enough anymore to know if there’s a current Picard maneuver surrogate.

A decent performer will likely verify words they’re unfamiliar with. If it’s being read by the book’s author it’s anybody’s guess.

I’m looking at YOU Gibson

Well if the shampoo had half as many ingredients maybe it would taste better
