I own a Tesla. I bought it in 2018. I fucking hate Elon Musk but I do not feel like I need to get rid of my car. Me selling would not hurt Elon. It just hurts me because I rely on that car for my wife to get to work.

It's paid off and it works just fine. Why should I have to sell my car for a huge loss and get something new just because you want to make a political statement.

My wife is a life long democrat. I have never had a party affiliation. I do not understand how damaging my car is supposed to help your cause.

There is actually some research on this and yes cats and dogs often have a preference for which side they favor. The distribution is far more even than it is with humans and many more are ambilateral and work well with either side without showing a strong preference.

More interesting than cats and dogs are chickens and pigs. Most chickens don't have a strong preference but those that do have a dominant eye tend to react to visual stimuli faster than other chickens. Pigs often have a dominant side of their about and it often corresponds with the direction their tails spiral.

This is the dumbest thing I have heard all day and I love it. Thank you so much for keeping the internet weird.

I must be missing the context for this. Does Potash mean something more than Potassium or the process for isolating it?

Entering an intersection before they are sure there will be enough space to clear it.

I started smoking pot.

Imagine having a political opponent you consider equal to Hitler and choosing Joe Biden as the candidate you run against him.

I just checked and every single textbook I own that contains a reference to this transformation uses an image of a sheep. Sadly all of my textbooks are in English. If I had any relevant texts in German or Spanish I doubt that they would makes this connection.

On an less relevant note one of the books introduces the idea of change of basis with a joke about labeling axes and has several different types of ax with corresponding labels attached and I find that to be a much worse joke.

Adam Schiff is so fucking slimey. I do not want that man to represent me. He spent millions to boost a republican so that he would not have to run against Katie Porter. It reminds me of Hillary's superdelegates. The party is broken, the mega rich are pretending to let us have a say and then pretending to fight against the Republicans instead of solving problems.

My mother in laws friend was a roided out prison guard who had zero empathy. He was very kind to people but just could not understand when anyone had a hard time with anything. I fixed his computer and he refused to pay me because it looked easy so he figured I wasn't really working.

When his wife asked for a divorce he strangled her so hard it broke her neck. He then held her under water in the bath tub for almost an hour just to be sure. Then he tried to end himself by jumping off the second story of their house but survived with a back injury.

MIL actually showed up to court as a character witness. He spends most if his time these days in "protective custody" because a lot of the other inmates know him from when he was a guard. We still get letters from him and he is still a dickhead.

I don't understand why Pixel phones are not more popular. I prefer the stock android experience over Samsung's OneUI and they are usually less expensive.
