Welcome to Thunderdome

Cartoon, made for Nikelodeon, but don't judge it by that. It's not bad. I'd heard it was pretty good, and yeah, I think it is. I'm halfway through season 1. 25 minute episodes. It's about a bunch of kidnapped orphans (for some reason) who were put to work as slave laborers in some remote place minin...

Uber and doordash will be short of available gig workers, soon. Factory jobs as far as the eye can see.

https://youtu.be/JE28xzIGnE8?si=CM5euGrRKn5lmAsV I'd agree with this 100%, but at some point in the last 20 years it stopped being a punk-ass, pussy move to jump someone 5v1. No one can realistically fight 5v1, and the winners will walk away laughing at their bold assault while the victim is spitti...

Maybe quicker. They already exist in one form or another, they'll just need new molds for the extruders to make laundry baskets or whatever, and time to hire a 2nd/3rd shift.

"Manual" is even spelled wrong. It's art.

Where did the ".1% of NPR is bullshit" stat come from?

I speculate we may see a good chunk of bare shelves at Walmart until the USA spins up some "cheap plastic shit" plants in like six months.

What about bringing them into the 20th century, did the roads, trains, bureaucracy (some of which is required in a functioning government), and general lifestyle improvements help anything? It's considered required for real cultural advancement. So yes, resources (tea anad spices) were shipped out t...

I don't know if we'll get much good discussion out of this since what I know of Indian history is what I saw in Gandhi, but what I wonder is this: Would the AVERAGE citizen of India be worse, or better off, if they were still an English colony (or extrapolating the alternate timeline, if England str...

I found one that Leisher can post. Leisher, save this then post it at me as payback.

The reason the prisons are overfull.

Already have.

That Atlantic article may be fake, but I remember the exact thing happening in Europe with women being raped, but declining to make police reports because they didn't want "racism against immigrants." About a decade ago.

Millennials in charge of it and GenZ doing it.

Pretty much everyone thinks they're all a dumb waste of money.

And this one is only getting slammed harder because it is being advertised harder with GRRRRL POWER

This isn't a woman hating thing. This is the saturation marketing of a dumb thing rightly ridiculed by everyone that just happened to be comprised of rich women with highly, unjustified opinions of the skill required for what they actually just did. They just got the equivalent of launched from a ca...

I tell peeps that when we're out cliff jumping and they're scared. Don't fear water/water should fear you.

And the result is my kid told me he has a 15 year plan to climb K2.

If it was my kid I would never stop haunting them.

A guy signs a contract to have his brain frozen in case of death, and wakes up a century later to be an AI running self replicating Von Neumann probes exploring the galaxy. Written in first person, this reminds me of a science-lite version of The Martian. Still science, just not down to the building...
