My reader, Mlem, has a button to filter out non-English posts but it consistently fails at filtering out German for some reason.

…and about 100+ more.

Anime porn and furry porn… holy shit. That took at least a week to block them all and they still keep making new instances.

“One is my name, the other is not.” -Commander Data.

So this article is talking about the Phoenix-Metro area because most data centers and INTEL are in Chandler, AZ. They offset heating and cooling costs with the lack of natural disasters and highly predictable weather. +4° doesn’t mean s* to the metro. It’s literally built to survive +150F° (street) temps.

The Central Arizona Project (CAP) does a good job to ensure our water supply but has been corrupted by foreign “needs” like alfalfa for Saudi livestock. The great Hohokam tribes didn’t plan for this when they built the original canals 1,000 years ago and connected the Pima with the means to produce the world’s greatest cotton. Olive oil, citrus, and so many other local agro THRIVE here. We shouldn’t be dumping water into Saudi alfalfa.

Regardless, data centers, Intel, Motorola, AMEX, Raytheon, Charles Schwab… have all paid their required taxes and put all three of my kids through the best public schools our tax dollars could fund. House values are holding strong and because of how many H1B visas live here, Chandler/Tempe/Mesa has some of the best variety of foods than most places in the southwest.

We have one of the largest nuclear power plants, our solar and wind capabilities are off the charts… we just need an administration that shuns fossil fuels and will stand up against farming exports. Oddly, both go hand in hand.

His name was Robert Paulson.

Isn’t that the goal of this administration? Make the US so dumb we can’t even spell “union”

I forget where but someone online was describing a potential plot for Idiocracy 2 and it turns out the rest of the world is a glorious utopia that keeps the US from “spreading” and the US is so dumb they’ve just never tried to escape their garbage walls or been curious about what’s on the other side. I hope they call it Idiocracy Too.

I came home to an empty house and my wife and kid missing. It would be dumb to say there were no signs of divorce but up until the last few hours she was telling me how much she loved me, hugs and kisses. We even did that cringy shit where I’d say “happy wife?” and she always said “yes”.

Apparently she got extremely depressed around the same time her family doctor put her on Adderall. She would spend the next two years slipping away, hiding from our son when I was at work and just cried herself to sleep.

I had no idea. I have all the means to afford the help she needed but on that fateful day, I felt like I was hit by a fucking truck.

So if ICE is boarding foreign cruise ships and deporting their staff, how are foreign tourists supposed to feel safe about showing up for a soccer match?

For some reason I pictured the skinny white kid from Idiocracy saying that. The Secretary of Energy.

He spends more than that on one meal in Scottsdale. Pathetic.

My daughters (21 &18) both say emoji’s are cringe and are migrating from majority texts back to voice calls.

There have been over 1800 “spin-off” technologies that came from the world’s various space agencies. Some of those inventions are life saving and there’s people alive today thanks to the pioneering spirit of man and the funding of countries. I don’t see the benefit of stopping now.

Good to know Mr. sexy_animal_fucker.

To stay away from Father Dale (Fushek) and his hot tub parties. It wasn’t the message that creeped me out, it was the cold and guilty tone. The nuns and staff knew what was going on, but instead of police, they were just trying to move him somewhere else. Today he walks free in Scottsdale, AZ and is seen living the high life at various fancy restaurants. If we give him hell, we’re the ones that get kicked out.

Tree fiddy. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US, MONSTER!?

Not at all. You sound like you’re 14 and trying to be “smart” in front of people who can barely stand to be around you.

You’re not even acknowledging the rebuttal to the argument YOU started, and refuse to see that they conveyed the message they were trying to deliver without your pedantic little rules.

Language is not a set of rules but a living, cognitive phenomenon and a system of communicative patterns acquired through usage.

ACAB, especially the grammar police.
