I’ve heard this.

It’s good that we cleared this up then.

If you are referring to the title, my point was that this guy was already willing to accept being a step or three closer to evil than I would be, and probably than most of us would be. And still they went too far for him.

Unless we win the lottery or my long lost cousin from somewhereelseistan calls to let me know they’ve got a spot for us, we’re sheltering in place unfortunately.

Maybe. Right period of my life, if I were in those circumstances, I could have seen myself leaving a few in bathrooms on the way out and not giving a shit who knew it was me as I walked out with my cardboard box. Not today probably, but at any time during the years when no one else had to rely on me for the necessities of life I might have.

Every single value they claim to support is a hollow lie that exists for their own enrichment and power, and it’s so starkly plain from every single policy they push when they have power I can’t fathom how people don’t see it. I especially cannot believe that even now we have people who cannot see it.

I feel like I’m in a world where 90% of people can’t read and have never watched the news sometimes, because it’s that blatantly obvious to me.

They made healthcare a commodity, education a dept trap and housing a speculation market - then told you that poverty is a personal failing. They privatized survival and called it freedom.

I’m bad about remembering Alt Text apologies. I will edit to add now if it will let me.

Yes, that’s a great point that I hadn’t considered.

To be clear for anyone, it’s Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)

💯

I had no idea this was showing up a couple months ago, and what a treat it is!

The end of that one Brother Ali song, I have no idea who the vocalist for that part is.

They keep sayin’ we’re free…

But we’re all just loose.

They have claimed that from the start and it’s the standard conservative defense, but at no time has it appeared to be true.

You know I’ve had this feeling for a long time. But I really have it now.

Look at everything going on, everything he’s doing. If AOC (arbitrary example, but he’ll call any Democrat a “radical marxist” through the entire campaign no matter who it is) is elected in 2028, will he and his handlers go “well, at least it will take them a long time to unfuck things?” No, there’s no way that happens.

Maybe we’ll get an honest election and maybe we’ll learn the results of it. I don’t think he leaves in Jan 2029 without a fight no matter who wins, unless it’s Vance, and maybe not even then.

And to be clear, there’s no way the Dems will run AOC or anyone like her. We’ll probably get someone even further right than Kamala or Biden since it seems to be Republican votes they actually want now.

I only have hope for 2028 actually resulting in Trump no longer being president if the cheeseburgers take him before then, or the 2026 midterms are not only a blue wave, but also entirely above board and free of shenanigans.

Bruh.

You’ve got a fair point there.

The ear was probably hit by a tiny fleck of glass from a shattered teleprompter, and then with Trump no doubt on blood thinners it would bleed like all

I’m pretty sure this is AI, but it’s so damn perfect…

Yes, I have an attic. Through it runs my AC ducts which are insulated pretty poorly from what I can tell. And yes, additional insulation above the ceiling of the interior spaces. The attic itself is at deadly temperatures pretty much all summer long, because attic ventilation does not adequately clear the heat. This has been true of every house I’ve lived in since I was a kid. (Which is a lot of houses because I’m old)

It’s difficult for me to imagine that permanently shading the roof and leaving an air gap above it would not improve things in addition to the presence of insulation and the attic itself, since it would lower temps in the attic. Regardless of the presence of insulation, reducing the delta between the attic temp and interior temp seems like it would be a win to me. My question, ultimately, is how much would a spaced layer above the roof impact this. To me, it feels like it would impact that delta a lot, but maybe not.

Thank you, removing it now!

I have to admit I was really thinking of houses - it seems to me a small expense for such a potentially substantial improvement, especially if done at construction time.

(None of this is to disagree with the idea of using lighter/more reflective roofing materials, FWIW.)

Edit - and I don’t mean a giant umbrella or similar, I feel like a typical home could easily just have a structure the size of the roof and spaced a few inches out from it.
