Just search for “kneeling pad” or “gardening knee pad” and you’ll find a bunch of pretty durable options for around $10. Or, hell, just get a pair of skateboarding knee pads. You might not be the pinnacle of fashion, but your knees will be well protected.

Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.

Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.

Clinton left a booming economy and projections to reduce, if not eliminate, the national debt in 10 years. Then came another Bush. Bush left a shitty economy for Obama, through bullshit tax breaks for the rich during a time of bullshit military spending among other dumb actions. Obama fixed things. trump inherited a booming economy from Obama, and slowly (maybe quickly) ruined it through gross incompetence. Biden inherited a shit economy and inflation from that moron, trump. After dealing with fallout from stupid trump policies (that’s being generous), Biden managed to turn things around and the economy was once again doing pretty good. Now that dipshit trump will give his idiot voters and the rest of us another shitty economy that the next Dem will have to try to fix. The wheels on the bus go round and round.

For me that is much more than a pet peeve.

In Future Shock,

Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:

alias llaa='pwd && ll'

then ran llaa and it did what I expected, current directory and the output of ls -al which is aliased.

I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.

I’ve heard “over yonder as the crow flies”, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard “over yonder as the crow the flies”.

Russia, China, and Iran. Just doing their normal shitty stuff.

I blame Israel for the death of its civilians due to palastinian terrorism.

I return to my original statement, and we have now completed the circle and neither of us has changed. Much like the violence and depravity of religious wars in the Middle East.

So very similar to the history of countries in the area kicking out/killing Jewish people. I don’t even have a side in this bullshit. I just see a bunch of bad faith actors surrounded by howler monkeys hanging on to one side or the other. And the weird one-sided idiot rhetoric thrown around on this site. I would like to know if you think Oct 7th, or Hezbollah launching rockets into Israel on Oct 8th (or any of the many other dates) is terrorism as well. Or if using civilians as human shields is a legitimate tactic. Again, I 100% agree that Israel has gone way too fucking far, but I don’t agree that one side is assholes and the other side is saints. It’s that scene in Spaceballs, I’m surrounded by assholes.

I love that saying. And I’ve known that for a long time.

Humanity. I know it’s kind of self-defeating or something, but humanity just scares the shit out of me.

Keep it coming. You are cracking me up. Nazi comparisons now, and I’m the unhinged one?

So reductive, inflamatory, and ill-informed. It’s kind of sad.

Simplistic rhetoric and superficial understanding.

You sound like a terrorist.

LOL, nice headline. These people are freaking nuts.
