Give Me Serotonin Or Give Me Death

In one of his full quotes with actual context (he has said this alot actually), he included cars in this. That despite vehicle deaths existing (at higher rates than deaths via illegal gun use), we as a society understand those are worth it for the privilege of owning and driving vehicles.

He also spoke about the 2nd Amendment being there so citizens can not only defend themselves from attackers, but a tyranical government.

By using a quote out of context you admit that you either:

1. Never actually listened to him say those words and are thus ignorant of what he said/advocated for or

2. Rely on lies to justify your bad actions and to get people to agree with you.

If people used cars safely and properly, deaths would be minimal; just like guns would.

However, you have assholes who abuse their privileges and drink and drive, who drive recklessly. There are people who abuse guns and use them improperly.

Implying that it’s an acceptable risk for people to die via guns or cars is dangerously problematic because it implies that an individual is worth less than the price of a car, or gun.

We take driving lessons before we are allowed on the road, we have to pay insurance to pay for expenses if we do get into an accident.

Those things mitigate risk.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

after years of being vaguely confused when I came across the measurement “a stick of butter” in recipes, today I learned that in the United States they sell butter in these skinny stick things:

it is literally a stick of butter. A STICK OF BUTTER. 

i have literally never seen butter sold this way. each stick one only amounts to ½ a cup of butter AMERICANS PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY WHOLE LIFE WHEN I SAW THE PHRASE “A STICK OF BUTTER” IN RECIPES I WAS IMAGINING THIS:

oh my god

another article. it looks like mainstream media is saying nothing about this so far. wonder if theres a media blackout

I asked him what I meant. Like I point blank said “Are you saying I don’t work enough overtime?”

“…no,” he said, since we got in trouble if we worked OT. It was treated as a moral failing on our parts.

“So are you saying I should be working for free?” I asked. This is a trap question. It was a corporate job. Which meant he actually was limited in the shit he could pull.

“….no,” he grudgingly replied.

“So what is the problem?” I asked. And he had to admit that, technically, I had done nothing wrong.

But he tried to guilt me over LIKING TO GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY. After each 8-10 hour shift where I was allowed ZERO breaks, despite the law requiring I get a minimum of 15 minutes every 4 hours.

He also got pissed off that I was very open with telling people I had given my notice. I didn’t bad mouth the place. I wasn’t negative. I was just open that, yes, I was moving and had therefor quit.

I’m dead serious; people are dropping dead like flies because of overwork.
