Someone create a GoFundMe so we can buy him tickets.

What’s Putin worried about? He’s sure the Ukrainian invasion will be over in only 3 days. /s

Musk is really upping his asshole game. He’s alienated 50% of the US, a good bit of Norway and now Britain.

Ok, so cautionary tale time.

Regarding the “mac and cheese for life” bit…

Once a guy I knew received a “lifetime supply” of a brand of soap. Well-known brand. Not the cheap stuff. Showed up one day as a full pallet of boxes of soap. After about a week, he figured he needed to start figuring out ways to get rid of the stuff. He offered me a box (crate?) of the soap the next time I visited him. He offered another the next time I visited. And another. I soon learned to stop visiting. Soon all his friends and every person he knew were walking away with boxes of soap. Not individual boxes of soap. Boxes of 50 bars. His garage and soon his entire house smelled of soap. I’m sure delivery people stopped entering his neighborhood just to avoid having soap snuck into their trucks when they weren’t looking.

Long story short, I was in school at the time and free anything was a godsend. But after trying to use up 50 bars of the stuff, it was just too much. To this day I can’t even look at that soap when I’m at the store. The smell of it turns my stomach.

There’s definitely such thing as too much of a good (ok?) thing.

From the article, it sounds like the HPV vaccine would help prevent these penile cancers.
Refresh my memory… weren’t Republicans up in arms trying to prevent their children from getting the HPV vaccine?

True, but in my experience, selling stock publicly is the ticket to hell. No matter how much of your company you think you still own, you’re going to be driven to make higher profits every quarter, no matter the cost. If you don’t comply, they will replace you with someone who will.

So there kind of is something inherent to running a business that implies cannibalizing one’s own brand reputation for short term profits.

It’s called “Wall Street”.

So… lemme get this straight. (Neglecting the fact that Putin started thus and can end it at any time) Russia can buy and use Iranian, North Korean (and possibly/likely Chinese) weapons on Ukraine, but Ukraine reciprocating using western weapons would justify a nuclear response?

So now India AND Israel AND Russia?

Remember “Monster Cables”? Everyone had to have car-battery cables to connect their speakers? Remember when somebody asked “audiophiles” to compare “Monster Cables” and alternatives? Their preferred speaker wire was just a straightened-out metal coat-hanger?

I read on Lemmy that is was a “secret”. Promise not to tell anyone or this won’t be a secret anymore.
