That’s a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.

He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.

Damn, can’t believe I forgot that one

• Only state to not vote for Reagan
• Weed legalized
• Free Breakfast and Lunch for all students
• First state to protect LGBT Americans from discrimination
• Only state to not vote for Reagan
• Protected abortion rights
• Childcare assistance for low income parents
• Planned high speed rail between the Twin Cities and Duluth
• Legalized gay marriage before Obergefell v. Hodges
• Only state to not vote for Reagan

There’s plenty more but those are just the ones I can think of right now.

Extremely common Minnesota W. I love my state.

Either toss my ass in a dumpster or give me a sky burial. No exceptions.

It’s really only undergrad that’s usually uber expensive. My wife is getting her master’s for like $10k/year and her company is paying for half of it.

Meanwhile our undergrad was like $40-50k/year with no help.

Also this average is probably averaging current balances, not total disbursement.

This is why architects need to be on a leash at all times.

All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that’s a bad idea for a city.

I agree. With the cost reduction on renewables, grid-scale nuclear doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore.

However, I hope that nuclear will get a revival with SMR technology. Especially as local power facilities for things like data centers and auto plants and other industrial facilities that require as much power as a small nation.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can’t use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There’s so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it’s not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

Sometimes I have it re-write emails for me if I feel like my tone is off. Once in a blue moon I’ll use an LLM to write a trivial AHK script. I also use AI art bots for throwaway character art for NPCs in my D&D campaign.

Beyond that, almost never.

Playing through 7 Days to Die for the first time with some friend and having a blast.

I’ve been following your journey with this and I feel for you. I have mystery GI problems too (not as bad though) and my experience is that it’s nigh impossible to get a proper diagnosis for GI things because they all have the same batch of symptoms.

They threw the book at me, full colonoscopy, CAT scans, blood work, stool tests, etc. More than a year and $4000+ later the best I got was “Idk bro, good luck”.

I wound up doing an elimination diet on my own and found what foods trigger my issues. No real diagnosis beyond blanket IBS though.

Hope you find your answers.

That was actually the coolest year of the rest of your life.

Capitalists: design society to be exceedingly hostile towards raising kids

You can lead someone to knowledge but you can’t make em think.
