    Got my booster three days ago. The day of, felt normal other then a sore arm. Second day was weirder, with lots of fatigue and had some struggles eating dinner, just lacked appetite. Got a few extra hours of sleep in, and now today I feel normal again.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    You know, in the last two hours I saw both a video making a joke about how sale taxes work and another about how someone voted for a party he hated because "At least I will pay less taxes" and it made me realize, why the fuck do we even show taxes? Can someone explain it to me? When I go get a...

    Is income inequality unjust, and if so, where is the injustice?

    Just wanted to say, but being a landlord isn't in itself a bad thing. It's what you do afterwards that is the moral failing. Raising the rent for an already established family because the market goes up, even though that would put more pressure on the family so that you can make more profit...

    This is why the framing is important. You are not actually "feeling" electricity like water or rock or even air by touching it with your skin, the book even implies this. You are "feeling" what electricity does, which is conduct through our bodies. The paragraph is being obtuse on purpose...

    Yup. They don't want teachers to be able to tell a struggling kid going through identity issues that they can be what makes them happy, because then how will the bigoted parents be able to pray away the gay?

    While I understand why he did it, I am kind of sad he just dumped the time skip. It feels like one of those things that once you open the box you have to commit. At the very least if you plan to get out of it, do something like imply Scratch made a time machine and went back to avert some...

    Coronavirus Thread

    Is there such a thing as a positive comedy of errors? So over a week ago, my son broke his arm. Not a huge fracture, but enough to need a cast for a few weeks. Because of that, we had to cancel going to a birthday party this last Friday with one of the kids in our bubble play group, as they...

    Now I am hearing that Republicans were actually mad about the Jan 6th Insurrection only because it fucked up their own insurrection attempt. They supposedly had a plan in place called the Green Bay Sweep, that was to get a bunch of congress on board to overturn the election during the...

    Oddly other then some watery eyes a few minutes after my first dose, I never had any intense side effects other then weird ass dreams the night I got the shot. Both doses I dreamed the most crazy wakeful dreams I remember having in years. Was Moderna both times. Going to get my booster on the...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Yes, it did that for Harry Hart but obliterated all the rest of the Kingman other then Eggsy and Merlin early in the movie. A lot of it boils down to the fact I get rather invested in "side characters" in a lot of these movies, and so when the side characters who get some development in the...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    This is more a quirk of myself, but when I start a sequel to a movie and the first thing it does is kills off over half the cast of the original movie offscreen, I just kind of turn it off. GI Joe : Retaliation and Kingsman : The Golden Circle were two of the biggest offenders to me in recent...

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 5 - To Kang or Not to Kang

    It's not much of a spoiler to be honest, it's not like he appears as a hero, it's basically a glorified minute cameo near the start. I apologize though.

    Just saw this myself, I really enjoyed it, but I kind of wish the ending was a bit longer and had a "how are they now" moment after the last big scene.

    I'm still trying to figure out why Trump so publicly supported the vaccine. You can tell Candice was confused that he wasn't sticking to the narrative or at least being more coy about it. My best guess is either he is scared that all his voters are dying, or he just wanted to be contrarian...

    Is income inequality unjust, and if so, where is the injustice?

    Having gotten a month now into Amazon, and as much as I liked the ease of the onboarding process, I can't deny the company as a whole is pretty fucking stupid. They have a ton of rules, signs, training, etc. Once you on the floor though? Fuck it, rules are for pussies. Signs everywhere don't...

    Don't forget the US Armed Forces. Most people that get recruited do so because they are poor and / or in debt, and don't really have any other options then to enlist. Why would some kids just out of college sign up for the army to possibly go get killed in another country when they don't have...

    Starting to think my new Amazon job is trying to kill me. When it comes to working at one of the distribution centers, you don't really know what job they assign you until you get there. The last week worth of shifts though they have been increasingly putting me in difficult positions as I...
