US is a big place, where in US? 😏

Switching from Android to iPhone soon, what is the best browser for the iPhone? 🤔

Very interested in responses, following.

My thoughts exactly. 🙄 This is ridiculous non-news.

Personally, I don’t consider it moral at all. They spent a lot of money on that thing. And what if people on the other side decide to vandalize back?

This looks like relatively harmless vandalism. What if it escalates?

What if car vandalism isn’t enough, what if they burn your house down? Or you to them?

I just think it’s an ugly way to live & nothing good comes from messing with shit that isn’t yours. In this case, the fitting punishment is already applied & by their own hand. Rapid depreciation, vehicles that rust in car washes, virtually no product support, expensive to maintain, ridicule from others…idk. I think that’s enough on its own.

According to the Christian faith, women cannot serve as preachers, pastors, priests, etc. That, alone, demonstrates a terrible misunderstanding (or blatant disregard!) of a painfully basic teaching of the Christian faith.

To then promote a woman to be the head of this faith whatever, that’s tonedeaf AF. Of course they’re angry.

I would say $100K+ & provide a link. Idk. It’s nice & short, it’s lowball & true to say, and if people want to look up more accurate numbers they can do so on their own time.

Not quite as sold on it as the rest of the internet. Personally. About 5-6 years ago, people started bleeping every single goddamn word that could in any way be construed as troublesome, triggering, or any word directly tied to a controversial topic.

“Kll, rpe, mrder, pssy, dck, a**hole, fck, cndm, scde, terrrst, rtrd, gy, fgt, gncde,” I mean the list just goes on and on and ON & there’s no real objective standard. Everyone enforces the asterisks on a whim, just how they feel that day, and suddenly an article becomes a round on Wheel of Fortune. I’d like to buy a vowel, please??

Then cvid hit, and everybody’s talking about vccnes, the shot, the jab, the Fauci ouchie, etc. Vaxx. 🙄

Idk I’m just over it, I say the words. Except for “the n-word” and other overtly racial slurs. I can’t fully articulate my reasoning behind this; like you, I’m going to have to think on it. But I just view it as political correctness, controlling words & controlling, restricting conversation about uncomfortable topics to game things in their favor. Hijacking Christian values like decency & submission, manipulating their emotions to railroad their thinking into the mainstream. Idk. I’m just…pro-free speech & anti-whatever the fuck you want to call this nonsense.

You can be pro-free speech, and not censor the words, and people will still be subject to the consequences of their speech. 🙂

Idk exactly what you’re referring to, I see a bunch with FORD put in on the grille. And that’s the easiest debadge-job ever; you just buy an aftermarket clean grille. I think it looks very nice & clean.

Same thing with the tailgate, either find a way to tastefully remove the logos or buy aftermarket. I like the look of the “air flow” tailgates, or the straps.

Especially if you’re buying a junker, and you don’t care if it looks super nice…that’s just free license to get creative & rip 'em off, cover up any way you see fit. Fuck Ford badges. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree, people will know, but debadging even that little oval? Taking it out of the grille? That is very intentional, it doesn’t occur by accident, it might even make some people go, “…huh.”

I would refuse to have their emblems on my vehicle. I have my reasons. Unless somebody wants to buy me a nice one & leaving badges on was part of the conditions, by all means, drop thousands of dollars on me & make me a hypocrite. I am nothing if not practical. But if it’s my money, on my Ford vehicle, all badges & emblems are being stripped off.

Another reason not listed: fuck the manufacturer. I don’t pay, I don’t drive around town, I don’t live my life to be an advertisement for you. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Ford has done me wrong. Ford has done America wrong. But for the right price, I still might consider driving a Ford. Why cut off your nose to spite your face? But you bet your ass I’d debadge that motherfucker. Ford doesn’t deserve to be publicly acknowledged by me on my goddamned vehicle, bought with my goddamned money, to be seen by others. Nah. I’m not doing that.

Get a salvage Ford, or a really ugly/deformed Ford, debadge it? Hell yeah. Let’s go.

I also don’t like explicitly branded clothing. Why do we pay to advertise for these people, like it’s some kind of privilege or status? 🤨 Especially the most basic bitch stuff out there, manufactured by foreign slave labor. Idk, it’s all dumb.

I guess that is an angle. But I think I heard of an old Asian tale basically saying that tyrants, dictators, and oppressors require amazing security detail by default. But universally loved rulers who care for the people & do incredible amounts of good need minimal security, and every good man is an unpaid member of their security detail. Virtually all will work to protect him.

Even if that were the case, if you could quickly work over a few countries & create organic, fertile topsoil for all the barren land on Earth – I would argue you have a moral obligation to quickly, quietly execute that power. Even if it kills you. Perhaps start by creating oceans of slightly stale baguettes in the deserts; leave people in the dark. Then go to countries in secret & be like I am the bread god, you’ve seen my work, pay me now, and get all the bread.

Even if they were to eventually find & kill you, strictly speaking about utility, creating millions of tons of fertile, rich compost & filling the bellies of millions of people is more good than you or I could ever hope to accomplish in a lifetime. Even a million people. It would be an act of goodness that would change the world forever.

Being only slightly stale isn’t an issue at all, especially when it comes to sustenance to stay alive. Setting personal gain aside, have people pay you to travel to Bumfuck, Africa. Make it rain infinite slightly stale baguettes. Solve their hunger, at least for a while, and build a composting facility to create mass amounts of compost out of tons of slightly stale baguettes. Feed their livestock tons of slightly stale baguettes.

Travel to Bumfuck, India. Make it rain infinite slightly stale baguettes. Solve their hunger, at least for a while, and build a composting facility to create mass amounts of compost out of tons of slightly stale baguettes. Feed their livestock tons of slightly stale baguettes.

I’m sure you could reach out to many impoverished countries of the world, say hey you pay for my travel, my food & lodging, and pay me $200K (or whatever they can afford) and I’ll make slightly stale baguettes rain down from the fucking sky and they’ll gladly take you up on that offer. If they’re smart.

World hunger, solved. Deserts covered with multiple feet of fertile, composted bread-soil. And as others have said, French toast & other foods forever. Plus if you work it right, you could get paid to travel the world & enrich the nations with your talent.

If you claim to be someone’s friend, there is a small obligation & duty to try & keep them from embarrassment. I have tried. 🫠

I am serious, this man is 33. I have in the most friendly of ways stopped our private conversation (no one else was around), and I said very pointedly: “You keep saying Pacific. You mean to say specific.” I think I’ve even done it on two separate occasions. He sheepishly smiles and says, “Uh, yeah” and we continue talking because I’m not going to be a total dick about it.

The man hasn’t ever claimed to be much of a scholar (he isn’t), and he’s got depth of knowledge on other things & he’s my friend. But every time he randomly says Pacific instead of specific my brain goes fuuuuuuuuuuck, dude, whyyyyyyyy? Thankfully that word doesn’t come up much organically; he said it a week & a half ago. Before that it’s been many months. A small price to pay for a lovely friendship.

I know someone that says ‘Pacific’ instead of ‘specific’. The man has his talents & his place in the world, food man, but yes that is infuriating.

Jesus fuck, that is patently insane. 🙄 The biggest problem with Biden is that he was a vegetable the entire time. People were even expecting him to die in office, or have the 25th Amendment used on him.

Trump is not young, either. The presidency wears down men, just look at Obama before & after. And now we’re talking about blowing up how everything works, eschewing the 22nd Amendment, and for what?? For a chance for an incredibly old Trump to run again, and likely lose? Big brain time, here.

Get this loser Andy Ogles out of office; he’s drunk or incompetent. Time for him to get a real job.

I think that applies more to commercial boycotts & inner dealings, idk.

They can’t force you to purchase & drink any bottled water (nor do I recommend drinking bottled water). Especially when alternatives abound. Look at Bud Light, perfect example. The consumer determines what sells & what stays on the shelf. Which, again looking at Bud Light, really hurts the company when the product doesn’t move. It’s time to Bud Light Nestlé.

I’m going to start by saying fuck Nestlé, they’re so fucked up, they don’t believe water & access to water is a human right, they go to towns & give them like $5 to suck up & process, bottle all the water in a region. They don’t want people to be able to have private wells; they think water should be entirely managed, controlled, and sold by corporations. For these reasons, no one should ever buy Nestlé water.

Moving on…yes, corporations do dumb things, and sometimes those corporations are so terribly big it would be silly to try & look up, boycott every little thing they do. But if Nestlé didn’t sell a single bottle of water, and they wondered why, and they come to realize they’re dumb AF, evil, and they mismanage everyone’s water while producing plastic waste…they’d surely stop stealing everybody’s water for bottling. If it isn’t profitable, they wouldn’t do it.

I want people to understand what a boycott entails. The main purpose of a boycott is to have a negative impact on their business, either because you just fucking hate them or they’re actively engaging in behavior, choices you don’t approve of.

In this way, people who have already bought a product & then “boycott” it is kind of silly. Boycott Tesla? You have a Tesla. Best you can do is either sell, or de-badge, or throw on a virtue signalling bumper sticker if you wish. But the money has already changed hands, they profited off you. They just won’t in the future.

In the same way, if you like a boycott product (but “you gotta have it” and there are no substitutes), there are acceptable workarounds. 🙂 Buying it used doesn’t give them money. eBay, Facebook Marketplace, thrift stores. Or just go without…if you can. Idk how many things we actually, truly need. Choosing to boycott is a personal test of your will, your depth of knowledge, and your creativity.

I quietly boycott things all the damn time, I just don’t make a big show about it. I adopt a smaller, simpler life. I also don’t go crazy checking every single label at a store, no big corporation is getting rich off of my $13 purchase. I tend to go without, or I buy things that are sooooo so so much better that I almost certainly know have no connection to any dumb shit. The internet is your friend, as are the many small family-owned businesses for your basic needs. 🙂

Not that I condone incest, but yeah…the main purposes behind incest laws are: protecting minors/kids from sexual predators and preventing births of fucked-up babies, with genetic disorders. Some incest babies are almost entirely normal, others are severely retarded and/or have lives of pure pain. It’s a roll of the dice, very irresponsible, and that’s why we forbid it.

Gay fucking doesn’t result in children. And if the gay fucking is between two consenting adults…well…I don’t really want to hear about it, ever, but it’s a relationship that doesn’t negatively impact anyone besides the two people in the relationship. 🥴

“I see myself in you, son.” 🥴
