Yeah, my last few theater experiences weren't great. Toddlers screaming and adults talking on their phone (note: neither we're kids movies). I'm sorry, but that's not the experience I shelled out a bunch of money for. The home 65" might not be as immersive, but it's quiet and I can pause it to to go pee and that's a massive win in my book.

I’m really upset that your comment is so spot on.

Trust me ... me too!

Heat pumps are especially ridiculous because their installation costs are insane when in actuality they're mostly the same installation process as Central Air with minimal extra work required, but they cost 10x more just for the installation alone, let alone the units themselves

I'm eyeing a heat pump water heater though, when our current one dies (which hopefully won't be too soon).

Supreme Court: Well, you see, this country has an entrenched tradition of allowing oil companies to do whatever they want, so this law is unconstitutional. Wait, you know what ... in fact, Vermont needs to hand over a few of their state parks to oil companies even if they don't have oil under them, because fuck ya'll for even thinking you can make an oil company less profitable.

I don't know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.

I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you'd prefer.

I'm confused. No silver piece is in sight. How do they expect to be taken seriously! /s

And cops are good! They don't trust the government at all, but somehow the enforcement arm of the government can do nothing wrong!

No, no, you see, it's actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn't that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!

/s just in case

It's so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer's wet dream.

I love the interrobang! Once I found out it existed, I've used it ever since!

Right‽ It really helps put things in perspective!

I've heard that there are two rules to live by:

  1. Don't give 2 weeks notice to a company that'd fire you without a second thought unless you actually liked working there.
  2. Don't bother trying to reason with someone John Brown would have shot.
