Helo flights are stupid common in dense urban areas. Helo crashes make news because wealthy and important people die when they crash.

Speculation is useless because the NTSB will account for every paint scratch and stripped bolt. (assuming that, the NTSB will exist and be competent post DOGE)

Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

It seems like if you want a trade war with China, you’d want partners to help you apply pressure and replace Chinese goods you can’t do without. Maybe somewhere like Vietnam for cheap labor; Canada for rare-earth minerals; and the EU to buy expensive American goods and services. Oh no.

I would band up with individuals possessing superior ability or perhaps even supernatural power and strength to help the cops, the government, and protect the status quo.

I once saw a guy steady himself with a “do not feed the animals” sign in order to reach across a fence to give an apple to a deer.

Everybody forgets this half of Dunning Kruger.

No, it’s saying Nye is a good person. He’s an atheist and not an asshole.

But you do touch on something because it would be a challenge to find someone known for being atheist while also being a decent human being. IDK, maybe Daniel Dennitt?

For safety, never plug an unknown USB drive into your house.

Jesus drove a Honda, though he was shy about it. In John it says that “Jesus never spoke of his own accord.”

For those who don’t know, that type of tow truck is called a ‘snatch’ truck because the tow arm can get under a vehicle without the driver leaving the cab. Snatch trucks are not for breakdowns, they’re for repos.

after contact, the company acknowledged the problem and removed the accounts

Meta is outsourcing content moderation to journalists.

I consider his transformation into a double-Christian to be a confession that all the accusations are true. The biggest pieces of dogshit always face consequence mumbling prayers and missives.

Not even for religious reasons, just some 19th Century health nuts like RFK jr convinced everyone that it was good for your health.

I think I loved about a dozen women relatively recently tho I haven’t even kissed them

When I was young I had anxiety about getting betrayed or abandoned. Well, all that came to pass, but what I didn’t know then was that I am perfectly capable of hurting people who care about me. These days, I regret the harm I did way more than what I suffered.

How the hell is Brad Dourif not in this movie!? Was he busy with Chucky or something?

According to some psycho-annalists, you don’t have an authentic self. It’s just a Russian nesting dolls of personas and identities that we show the world, but at the bottom is not our true self, but instead another mask we show ourselves.
