The 9/10 extension on gasoline pricing.

When this fuel was 13¢ per gallon, sure some folks might want to compete with finer-grained pricing.

It's time to drop that pretense

Also a shoutout to joker. Been there for 20(ish?) years. Never an issue.

Old- looking UI which i actually appreciate

Old Soviet/Russian doctrine is to always play both (or all) sides of a conflict

The "sides" are not even remotely the same

My sincerest wish is that he waits until most of the way through a trial before providing an incontrovertible alibi.

Whether he is playing role as a body double for some someone else, or just a grifter, I hope it happens.

Because.......

Grandpa Joe worked with the mob rum-running, in order to amass the family fortune, and fhey in turn delivered several major cities in the election, but then JFK let RFK Bobby loose on an aggressive anti-racketeering rampage

Among other reasons ofc

I've tended to score suspiciously high on most aptitude/iq type tests my entire life (70s kid, among the earliest ADD diagnoses, etc) and tbh i think I am quite a lot dumber than those tests imply.

Show of hands all y'all "talented and gifted" kids that never did nuthin ...

*edit: to be clear, I don't think 'raw intelligence' or anything similar necessarily confers a lot of life benefits. It can, but doesn't always or maybe even most of the time.

What was this cartoon saying about Charles?

What had he said or done to elicit this cartoon?

Genuine question here ....

I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.

Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

Your brand of "it's all stupid, so join the stupid train" seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.

In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.

You can do better.

Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!

Oh. Wait. That's exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted.....
