Originally it was from the supernatural community writing shipfics about Sam and Dean Winchester. Eventually the meaning diluted, and you had 4chan spouting “incest is wincest.” Reddit’s core userbase was poached from other web 2.0 sites, including 4chan, and so the echoes of imageboard culture live on.

Drop the w and you’ll understand.

That’s great. In theory I believe people who violate the law should be handled in a safe and sane manner as well. We need to do some serious work updating the laws and procedures regarding immigrating to this country. They are archaic and cruel. I will not be made to fear people who simply come here for a better life, who provide vital labor, and who are less likely to commit violent crime than people who were born here. As long as a law separates families, keeps people in inhumane conditions, or puts literal children before a judge without counsel or so much as an interpreter I am against that law in its entirety.

I find it really interesting how poor people committing minor crimes is so often talked about in terms of the rule of law while rich people are committing felonies in broad daylight and the government is violating the Constitution on the daily. But sure, persons unauthorized to be here are here, I don’t mind that ICE is detaining legal immigrants and citizens in violent raids. It’s the people overstaying their visas and jumping the border that I’m more concerned about.

This country doesn’t give two shits about the rule of law anymore, look at our president

Whining about people being rude to you online doesn’t help your credibility much either.

We use both. Body weight is in pounds, but nutrition is in grams.

In general we use metric more for smaller, more precise weights and imperial for everything else. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone measure anything except cocaine in kilograms.

she’s on ozempic, you can see it in the background

Yeah, it’s cause you can sell them a bottle of tonic water for the same price. They don’t know the difference.

Oh, these rich bastards would love that. Nah, they’re stuck with me. This is my country too. They managed to run me out of my home state but I’ll be damned if I abandon the country I know we could be.

Ok, let’s fight.

Who the hell DDs Backtrack? It’s a specialist distro for specialist tasks, why not have a netbook you use specifically for pen testing?

Well that’s disappointing to hear. I have had mine for like a decade so it’d make sense that I’m out of the loop

No, see, uh, boofing just means getting really drunk. Please let me be on the Supreme Court. I didn’t put alcohol up my ass.

Red Wing is expensive but I’ve put thousands of miles on mine. The tarsal guard saved my foot when someone (fuck you Brent) set a 6000lb pallet down on it while I was trying to undo his stupid fucking knot that he tied in the ratchet strap for God knows what reason. I have another pair that’s just safety toe and they are my favorite pair of shoes.

IIRC the cabins were built prior to the designation of that area as a flood plain, and the camp wasn’t required to relocate the cabins.

meanwhile I can’t even pronounce half the stuff on the menu

Now wait a minute you’re starting to win me over to this “woke” stuff… Did you say tacos?

Rice, mostly. Also corn, the occasional muffalo, and a mountain of corpses.

wait this isn’t the rimworld community

They have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholder and therefore will act in a way that maximizes profits. It’s just what they do as a consequence of what they are. In candyland this leads to overproduction as companies race for existing markets and seek to penetrate new ones, and as a consequence they end up making a hell of a lot more than what they need, which leads to better access and lower prices for the consumer. In the real world? The classic example of something capitalism is really good at making is a pencil, and you have to hand it to them. Pencils are in fact cheap as hell and very readily available. Food, shelter, and medicine, on the other hand…

honestly depending on the day I might appreciate a nutrient paste dispenser at my workplace.
