I used to get offended by defaced & graffitied currency, but then an older family friend pointed out that these people print it off like crazy. At our expense. And tax-rape the ever-loving fuck out of us, for everything. And proceed to waste OUR money they stole on random bullshit and ruin our lives. So maybe I shouldn’t take currency so seriously.
I still don’t do it, but I thought he made some really good points.
It grazed his ear, ears apparently bleed a hell of a lot. I knew that from my injuries but that was a good amount of blood from just a little nick. And old people bleed like crazy, thin skin.
Right, well, Trump & Pence haven’t been on great terms since 2020. So I don’t think he’d appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You’re clever, though, never thought of that.
I mean…not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It’s not like we’re going to stop printing hundreds.
Now we’re finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let’s get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation…my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.
My thoughts exactly. 🙄 This is ridiculous non-news.
Progress is progress, and it’s good to be skeptical (I literally just posted a comment saying “I’m skeptical”!), but progress is good. 🙂 What other alternatives are there?
If it doesn’t make dollars, it doesn’t make sense. That’s why the electric car movement is having a hard time really taking off rn; it is hard to justify & all the tech, all our builds, aren’t exactly super economical yet. And they’re not built for tough conditions, heavy towing, long commutes, and easily workable & recyclable components.
…but things are, indeed, getting better. If you look at it from a macro view. Lithium recycling can be done even a decade ago, but IIRC it was relatively small scale & the lithium could be refreshed “most of the way”, not fully. The right things will catch on when their time is right & its viability is realized.
Man’s greatest strength is our shared knowledge, technology, science, and innovation. I encourage you to make good decisions in your personal life and be positive. 🙂
Now the reactor is le tired
Well, I’m still skeptical, but I have far more trust in France’s reporting than Chinese claims.
It’s good to be prepared before the need arises. These can be made, unused, put away for a rainy day. Maybe it’ll never be needed.
This drone stuff is no joke, any dumb terrorist/criminal fuck with a few hundred dollars can get a drone & do terrible things. Evil people can never just be allowed to have the upper hand, with no countermeasures.
Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
In any case…it’s either stuff like this, or jamming propellers, or steel birdshot. We’ve all seen the Ukrainian drone footage.
According to the Christian faith, women cannot serve as preachers, pastors, priests, etc. That, alone, demonstrates a terrible misunderstanding (or blatant disregard!) of a painfully basic teaching of the Christian faith.
To then promote a woman to be the head of this faith whatever, that’s tonedeaf AF. Of course they’re angry.
Fuck, that’s sad. Save for like some are saying idk accessibility issues & the like…don’t play the steam deck in your bed, beds are for sleeping.
I would say $100K+ & provide a link. Idk. It’s nice & short, it’s lowball & true to say, and if people want to look up more accurate numbers they can do so on their own time.
Not quite as sold on it as the rest of the internet. Personally. About 5-6 years ago, people started bleeping every single goddamn word that could in any way be construed as troublesome, triggering, or any word directly tied to a controversial topic.
“Kll, rpe, mrder, pssy, dck, a**hole, fck, cndm, scde, terrrst, rtrd, gy, fgt, gncde,” I mean the list just goes on and on and ON & there’s no real objective standard. Everyone enforces the asterisks on a whim, just how they feel that day, and suddenly an article becomes a round on Wheel of Fortune. I’d like to buy a vowel, please??
Then cvid hit, and everybody’s talking about vccnes, the shot, the jab, the Fauci ouchie, etc. Vaxx. 🙄
Idk I’m just over it, I say the words. Except for “the n-word” and other overtly racial slurs. I can’t fully articulate my reasoning behind this; like you, I’m going to have to think on it. But I just view it as political correctness, controlling words & controlling, restricting conversation about uncomfortable topics to game things in their favor. Hijacking Christian values like decency & submission, manipulating their emotions to railroad their thinking into the mainstream. Idk. I’m just…pro-free speech & anti-whatever the fuck you want to call this nonsense.
You can be pro-free speech, and not censor the words, and people will still be subject to the consequences of their speech. 🙂
Idk exactly what you’re referring to, I see a bunch with FORD put in on the grille. And that’s the easiest debadge-job ever; you just buy an aftermarket clean grille. I think it looks very nice & clean.
Same thing with the tailgate, either find a way to tastefully remove the logos or buy aftermarket. I like the look of the “air flow” tailgates, or the straps.
Especially if you’re buying a junker, and you don’t care if it looks super nice…that’s just free license to get creative & rip 'em off, cover up any way you see fit. Fuck Ford badges. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree, people will know, but debadging even that little oval? Taking it out of the grille? That is very intentional, it doesn’t occur by accident, it might even make some people go, “…huh.”
I would refuse to have their emblems on my vehicle. I have my reasons. Unless somebody wants to buy me a nice one & leaving badges on was part of the conditions, by all means, drop thousands of dollars on me & make me a hypocrite. I am nothing if not practical. But if it’s my money, on my Ford vehicle, all badges & emblems are being stripped off.
Another reason not listed: fuck the manufacturer. I don’t pay, I don’t drive around town, I don’t live my life to be an advertisement for you. ¯\(°_o)/¯
Ford has done me wrong. Ford has done America wrong. But for the right price, I still might consider driving a Ford. Why cut off your nose to spite your face? But you bet your ass I’d debadge that motherfucker. Ford doesn’t deserve to be publicly acknowledged by me on my goddamned vehicle, bought with my goddamned money, to be seen by others. Nah. I’m not doing that.
Get a salvage Ford, or a really ugly/deformed Ford, debadge it? Hell yeah. Let’s go.
I also don’t like explicitly branded clothing. Why do we pay to advertise for these people, like it’s some kind of privilege or status? 🤨 Especially the most basic bitch stuff out there, manufactured by foreign slave labor. Idk, it’s all dumb.
Jesus fuck, that is patently insane. 🙄 The biggest problem with Biden is that he was a vegetable the entire time. People were even expecting him to die in office, or have the 25th Amendment used on him.
Trump is not young, either. The presidency wears down men, just look at Obama before & after. And now we’re talking about blowing up how everything works, eschewing the 22nd Amendment, and for what?? For a chance for an incredibly old Trump to run again, and likely lose? Big brain time, here.
Get this loser Andy Ogles out of office; he’s drunk or incompetent. Time for him to get a real job.
Not that I condone incest, but yeah…the main purposes behind incest laws are: protecting minors/kids from sexual predators and preventing births of fucked-up babies, with genetic disorders. Some incest babies are almost entirely normal, others are severely retarded and/or have lives of pure pain. It’s a roll of the dice, very irresponsible, and that’s why we forbid it.
Gay fucking doesn’t result in children. And if the gay fucking is between two consenting adults…well…I don’t really want to hear about it, ever, but it’s a relationship that doesn’t negatively impact anyone besides the two people in the relationship. 🥴
“I see myself in you, son.” 🥴
