Oh wow, that was really good ingenuity there, MacGyver!

It's worth to know that nobody is ever infallible. I've always thought that same thing, "I'm a good guy.". But I've learned that it's better to think, "i may think I'm a good guy, but I need to be careful about how I come off," because I have said some fucked up things without realizing it.

Like, I have genuinely made some people uncomfortable without me realizing it, and I've been trying hard to be more aware of not only the situation I'm putting someone in, but the vibes I'm giving off.

Depends on what I’m cleaning for. Countertop? Just a basic surfectant and done. Bathroom? Diluted Bleach. Aerospace equipment? Assuming CRES, I’m first running the item through an ultrasonic cleaner with a mild detergent, then ultrasonically cleaning again with DI water, then passivating per AMS2700, Method 2 in a FOD protected area or low-grade clean room.

Hey ChatGPT, I made a code and have to announce to LinkedIn for visibility. Can you write a professional sounding announcement that highlights how great my business is? Use linkedIn buzzwords to build hype. Thanks!

'CAUSE TEXAS DOES EVERYTHING BIGGER…I THINK THAT’S THEIR ARGUMENT? I DON’T EXACTLY KNOW. I’M NOT FROM TEXAS.

THAT, OR THEY’RE BLIND AF.

Cody is fantastic. His videos are always witty, and his “exhausted; so done with the bullshit” character is just so on point. It’s almost reflective of how so much of us feel, but he’s still there putting up the good fight. I really hope he keeps it up and grows bigger. This dude is destined for great things.

Alteon ,

Yeah. I can agree with that. I think he was trying to provide a unique brand a la Colbert Report. I agree it can be a little schlocky, but the information is typically really good. I think one of the biggest improvements he could make would be to do shorter segments. Split his videos up into more videos. He’d get more money by doing it, and the information would likely be easier to digest. It’s a lot of deep dives which can get a little exhausting. Still, he’s fighting the good fight, so I can’t complain too much.

AOC leads call for federal ethics investigation into Clarence Thomas ( www.theguardian.com )

Five House Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York wrote to the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, to demand a federal investigation of the conservative supreme court justice Clarence Thomas, over his acceptance of undeclared gifts from billionaire rightwing donors....

It’s frustrating when you see someone doing a fantastic job of pushing the party further to the left, and doing everything they can to be a voice of reason and logic when there seems to be so little and then seeing someone like you going, “They aren’t doing enough.” Mate, what are YOU doing?

Alteon ,

Oh please, everyone likes to think they are above this. Your leftist community is no different. I made a single comment unknowingly in lemmygrad and was accused of being a colonialist for being a social Democrat. They used racial slurs against me, they accused me of saying things I never said, and acted like I was the evil that invaded their space. They didn’t block me, but holy fuck were they a toxic cesspit of leftist rage because I wasn’t “left” enough.

You want social change that doesn’t end in anarchy and countless deaths, societal change needs to happen slowly and they couldn’t find reason in that. They want/expect some sort of paradigm shift and anyone that doesn’t fight for this is “the enemy”.

Fuck them entirely and communist horse they rode in on.

Seriously? We’re cherry picking what’s considered a slur? When I get called out for the color of my skin, how is that not considered a racial slur? That literally as dumb as saying black people can’t be racist. Come on now…are you being serious?

Alteon ,

Institutional Racism? Yeah, I can probably agree with you there. But racism towards one individual? No, you are flat out wrong. By redefining what “racism” is, you don’t get to just give yourself a free pass on racial slurs and insults. It’s not okay for people to do it to you, and fuck you if you think it’s okay to do it to other people. A big fuck you.

Defining “racism” as being determined primarily by systemic power as a whole is odd, to say the least, and creates even more odd assumptions. Does that mean if a minority non-white population gains a controlling, majority power in the US, that white people are no longer racist in the US? Yeah, that sounds kinda retarded, don’t it? Can a Hispanic person be racist to a black person? Or is there some sort of grading formula that determines what’s okay and not okay to you?

The definition of racism by the dictionary: *Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, **typically *one that is a minority or marginalized.

By that very definition, your usage of “cracker” is every bit as “racist” as calling any other ethnicity any other racial, derogatory word. And your community is not doing itself any favors when you single out people that are somewhat supportive of your view points.

It must awfully convenient when you just get to pick your own meaning and interpretations on words.

Alteon ,

No, it really isn’t. There’s institutional racism, or racism built into laws and rulings, and systemic racism that’s built into traditions, beliefs, and opinions.

I’m going by the standard definition and your going by whatever it is that leftists would like to define things as. Then again we’re arguing semantics. I’ll never think that it’s okay for you guys to be derogatory, discriminateling assholes just because I’m white, just like I’ll never think it’s okay for literally anyone else to discriminate against any other ethnicity.
