To be fair, Peter Parker and his "Parker Luck" means that he also has big anxiety issues, and Spidey Sense probably correlates to it more often that it doesn't.

Words to live by. Because even if they're not 13, they act like they're 13 basically forever. cough Elon Musk cough

This is THE most anti-typical Lois Lane design I've ever seen, and it's honestly amazing. It's like they threw out every visual design element that most Lois Lanes have ever had throughout history and then went, "Hell with it, let's just make something cute, fresh, and hot and then call whatever comes out Lois Lane."

Kubuntu, Linux Mint with Cinnamon, Xubuntu, or maybe ZorinOS.

Especially if you don't want to relearn everything and want things to "Just Work" similar to Windows. If you tried Mint before, it's still really quite good. Maybe even better than you remembered it. I went distrohopping a few months ago only to find out that Mint was still #1 for me, especially with Cinnamon.

Not shocking. A lot of the people who claim to be the most "patriotic" or "religious" seem to be overcompensating for something else they're hiding. Kind of like the extremely "straight" types with gigantic closets.

It's not unintelligent. People are extremely adept at reading facial expressions and microexpressions. Years of evolution / survival instinct development have made us extremely skillful at knowing a lot about a person based on their face / eyes. Our lives depended on it, you see.

Your survival instincts (which are smart) are telling you she's an untrustworthy, toxic individual that you probably shouldn't keep around in your community, and in this case they're right. Everything else she says and does backs up your instincts too, so this isn't just a one-off thing.

Sounds about right. When I joined the military I met people from Alabama, and even people from other Southern states had nasty things to say about that state. I didn't believe it at first, but then I saw enough over time to realize, "I hate to say it, but maybe they're right. At least about some of the smaller towns and more rural areas."

I met a few nice people from Alabama, yes. I also met... a surprising number of not so nice types. I'm Asian by the way, not White. I'll let people fill in the gaps.

Same. If I had all the money in the world. I'd spend the rest of my life using it to try to repair the environment and make sure people had their basic needs met. I'd also try to create an environment where dictators can't just set up death / slavery camps or invade sovereign countries like Ukraine because of their ego.

I think most people who hate the ultra-rich are jealous, they just don't want to live in a dystopian cesspool.

Well he's not wrong. Especially the Red States....

Like others have said, this is kind of a broken clock is right twice a day kind of situation. Similar to when he said that prescription drug prices are too high.

Edit: The irony being that almost every time he had a "broken clock" moment, Biden was the one who acted on and fixed the issue he was right about. Infrastructure, pharmacy prices, even border security. Joe Biden actually did what Trump constantly promised and never delivered on.

This is true, but as long as those capitalists keep doing this, and doing this busts unions and brings in workers who can't vote and can easily be deported for not working hard enough (re: be exploited) it's not insane to oppose immigration to certain sectors of work.

It's similar to opposing outsourcing. It doesn't mean you're racist, it means you know what it'll do to depower labor organization movements. People forget that the reasons Immigrants aren't "taking ur jobs" now is because they already took those jobs in the past, killing many unions along the way.

Many dirty jobs that non-union immigrants are doing now used to be done by unionized white working class types previously. I watched a documentary about meat plant workers on strike for instance (I think that union worked for Hormel) who were striking for healthcare. What happened? They all got fired and replaced by imported Mexican workers.

The Union? Easy to guess what happened.

Gotta be careful at those moments. Some banks and credit unions "forget" that there's a bill pending RIGHT before they deduct it permanently. It happens right when they swap a deduction from "pending" to final. Can up to an hour lag (or more) before they do it too.

I learned the hard way, but back then, my credit union was nice and didn't charge overdraft fees for the first overdraft in a day. Now they've basically changed all their rules to basically being the same as a regular scuzzy bank, but they don't have the perks, benefits, or number of locations as a scuzzy bank, so I'm thinking of just dropping them.
