I'll come up with a better joke as soon as you get your panties out of a twist. Fucks' sake, man.

I was riffing solely on the "don't give crooks and liars publicity" part. Why shut down the conduit of information when you can shut down the source? But, whatever, it was an attempt at a joke.

Fixed 'er for ya.

I see the mods are persistent as well.

Oh just fuck all the way off. You "identified" under $4M worth of programs that you 1) probably don't understand what they actually were, and 2) disagree with purely on your own principles. YOU don't want your tax dollars being spent on anything that even smells "trans adjacent". I, am 100% onboard with my tax dollars going to support such things. If it's a moral victory for you, pretend that the $0.04 you contributed to those programs went to buy a bomb instead. I'll mentally double my contribution to the cause to $0.08.

My guy, it's $12m dollars, and it isn't even a USAID thing. Yes, fraud is bad. Yes, we should root it out and eliminate it. But using that as "justification" for shutting down USAID is misplaced, at best, and downright evil at worst. But hey, even though kids are quite literally starving to death, thank god there won't be any more transgender operas in Columbia. Dick.

Lol. I appreciate the persistance!

OH NOES! THEY ARE BURYING FIBERGLASS!!!!!! STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that wind turbine blades comprise 0.017% of the combined municipal solid waste and construction debris buried annually, about 50,000 tons. Meanwhile we are burying 35,000,000 tons of coal combustion byproducts annually. (It was about 2-3x that 10 years ago.) But yeah, I can understand where you'd be concerned about wind turbines.

Growing food to turn it into a gasoline substitute is football-bat level stupid. Maybe we should have figured out how to use something other than corn to make ethanol, rather than capitulating to the farm lobby.

Yeah, there's nothing particularly challenging about it and the anti-lippage systems are a lifesaver. It's just time consuming, messy, and labor-intensive. Especially when being laid over an old plywood/dimensional lumber joist floor that looked like the surface of a Ruffles potato chip. I had half the plywood ripped up trying to get it flat, used cement board floated on top of grout to to further level it, and still fought the lippage on the whole thing. I was using 24x8" tiles, so that added to the challenge. Good times.

I'm with you on the drywall thing too. I actually enjoy hanging drywall, but the mudding/taping is not my forte.

Look at their comment history. "Valid argument" isn't a phrase that comes to mind with any of it.

Admitting mistakes is a difficult thing to do. I guess we'll see how things shake out in 2026 and 2028 elections, but I suspect the number of people who wouldn't vote "MAGA" again is higher than 1 in 6.

I've laid about 1000 square feet of tile in my house, I disagree with your assessment on the intelligence of doing so. Tiling sucks, lol.

You figure that out you'll be a legend in the scientific community, and a billionaire overnight.

They got mad last time I threw a jet-ski hull in my roller bin.

They were doing fine until this nonsense: "but tariffs are bad I am told ..."

Do the rest of us a favor and fuck off already? Your obsession is unhealthy.
