Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.

I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.

Paradoxically, the paradox of tolerance is most often cited in the course of branding someone as “intolerant” and thereby excusing your intolerance of them.

Its a problem of semantics. Who really is sufficiently intolerant to be intolerable?

Because YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.

Do you really actually believe that republicans really actually have a sinister plan to breed more slaves ?

It just seems kind of absurd to me. I’m sure there’s a few nutters that do want to breed slaves but not as a generally held premise.

I also think there are already sufficient slaves for whatever nefarious plan one might have.

In a bleak dystopian future where you have some kind of over-class that lives in fancy domes and the rest of us toil away in the wasteland, how many slaves or under-class do you need? Fewer than currently exist I imagine.

This debate is completely lost on me.

Someone was trying to explain that the reason she sends her kids to a private school is because she doesn’t want them to learn about sex when they’re too young.

I don’t get it.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with kids knowing everything their curious minds want to know about reproduction.

She said they’re too young to process it. I think she means they’re too young to process the weird moral overlay she wants them to adopt.

I think that part is just the authoritarian power structure. Everyone depends on him for their own slice, so keeping him in control is in their own interests.

LOL. You do you but this sounds like a nightmare to me.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

The original comment:

I would put a urinal in as well. […] I’ve seen what other savages do to the toilet seat when they have to hit a stationary target from a couple feet away.

This guy:

Piss-soaked floors smell worse, but that’s not a urinal problem per se.

My comment:

Are you really suggesting that the addition of a urinal to a non-gender specific toilet would make it smell better ?

Your comment:

[toilets and urinals] will stack one on top of another, not cancel with each other.

In this context:

• my comment is not a straw man but responds to both the piss-soaked floor guy and the original comment
• you seem to agree with me. Added urinal means worse smell.

If only there was a single device that could act as a receptacle and disposal for both pee and poo.

Are you really suggesting that the addition of a urinal to a non-gender specific toilet would make it smell better ?

If that’s FOMO then pretty much every decision could be considered FOMO. I decided to put my shoes on this morning because I was worried everyone else wearing shoes would enjoy the advantages there-of and I would miss out.

Well, I’m not sure that’s the correct use of the term but even if it were, my question is: why does nobody do that?

IDK how much parents “modelling” things really helps.

My parents fell for every scheme they encountered their entire lives.

Watching them taught me to be very critical of that kind of thing. I guess they did model what not to do.

No, I think with NFTs people were just looking at the bitcoin train they had missed out on, and thought NFTs would be the next big crypto thing.

Mostly they thought it was just the next big thing.

I think this unique. Not really FOMO and certainly not investing.

I think you can kind of fork this path:

• blame parents
• realise they did what they thought was best
• still be messed up
• wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
• accept your mediocrity

That’s not my observed experience.

Sure, bit even in his prime, as a fit and able young man, Trump would not have lifted a finger to assist someone else in need.

Do urinals tend to stink more?

I feel like people flush less because after the pee drains out you can’t see it any more, despite it still being there in the trap.

Some autoflush periodically or when you open the door.

Thats a salient point. It’s the same everywhere. Nutty conservatives control the media.

That said, some of these stories kind of carry themselves. Like does the Trump / Epstein stuff really need to be on Fox news? His base is aware of the story they just don’t care.

Yes, but that doesn’t explain why populists get a free pass on their bullshit. For example, Trump’s obvious connection with a paedophile ring.

I don’t think that’s true.

I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

As in, they know they’re making things worse, but if they don’t do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.
