C'mon now, we haven't overthrown the governments of every country in this continent. I think.

Make A Grave Already

Just in time to get that half of a penny per play.

"Schwanz" is almost as funny as "sportin' a woody".

My last landlord put a clause in the lease that made me responsible for any sewer line repairs. I was like what the fuck is this? He said it was because tenants tend to flush shit you shouldn't flush and that's why sewer lines need to be replaced. To his credit (sort of) he took that out when I said no way I was signing. He was a member of that species of landlord that just puts whatever into leases because some people will sign anything.

The one thing he did that I liked which surprisingly does not seem common in rental leases was to require me to purchase and maintain renter's insurance. Not because he gave a shit about my stuff being stolen or lost in a fire (which renter's insurance covers) but because it's a source of coverage in the event of damage caused to the place by the renter. It was only like $15 a month so hardly a big deal.

This state is arguably the most pro landlord state

Arkansas would like a word with you ...

I do believe there is some end game these tech billionaires believe is on the horizon

I think it's just a variant of the standard republican "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter". They think financial wealth is something they can just create out of thin air using AI (the way that government creates wealth out of thin air by printing money, allegedly), so as long as they acquire the data centers to fuel it, by whatever means necessary, they'll be all right in the end.

I assume ignoring it for long enough is tantamount (in their eyes) to accepting it. And then they just issue new terms and conditions a few days later.

When you accomplish a victory for humanity and don't even get the royalties.

I'm a school bus driver. We are actually trained to push cars the fuck out of the way if they block us from completing a railroad track crossing. I actually ran into this situation my first day of driving training -- I stopped before the tracks, put my emergency blinkers on and opened my door, and a car behind me passed me (which is illegal) and then got stuck on the tracks behind another car. My trainer was like 'GO! HIT HIM!" but I couldn't do it. He was really pissed at me.

You'd be making dollars!

That grey laminate flooring pisses me off like nothing else in cheap home remodeling. It's embossed with wood grain but what fucking real wood is grey like that? It's the 2020s equivalent of 1970s faux wood paneling.
