In my experience, most people for some reason. Honestly I usually get push back on this, I’m not used to people agreeing with me. There’s usually at least one person for example that tries to claim it’s safer for the knife since if it falls the tip is more protected when up.

This verges on actually mattering, but knives on magnetic strips should be blade down.

Pros:

• when grabbing the knife you are holding it in the safest way possible automatically with the blade pointed down rather than blade up like fucking Chucky.

• If you botch grabbing it, it falls away from your hand/arm rather than toward/on top of it.

• the handles hook over the strip and are more secure

• the handles are all on the same plane, and again if you dislodge a separate knife unexpectedly it falls away from your hand/arm

Green are quite tasty in paella though.

The “lesson” will be that the truly wealthy will stay so, and the rest of us will be pushed farther away, the discrepancy between our stations will diverge even further, and the relative wealth of the tippy top will increase just that much more. Don’t think for a minute that this bubble, or any bubble for that matter, is not egged on by those insulated from it’s poppings consequences.

I bet the person at the tavern at 10 am with a plastic fry basket full of opened pull tabs thinks better times are just around the corner too.

Yes, I too like to store my thick glass cylinders next to my femoral artery.

This for me is the weird cishet paradox. So afraid to look “weak”, that they obsess over not looking weak. But you know what looks super weak? Being insecure about being weak. Like, the more you have to prove you’re a big tough guy, the less big and tough you seem.

Also, I feel like they’ve never considered that gay doesn’t necessarily mean effeminate. Or even that effeminate doesn’t necessarily mean weak/meek.

Pardon?

The alien in the lower right.

Cops, paramedics, nurses, ER doctors?

This is generally the compact. If you kill all the cattle, you’re fucked. We’re the cattle. The con is supposed to be that they feed and water us and we enable their lifestyle. But they are forgetting their job due to unchecked greed/avarice.

I bet this would likely cause her actual physical arousal. We’re not dealing with well adjusted people here.

There are more of us then them, we are more self sufficient than them, we are more resilient than them, we are more desperate than them. The real world is our natural environment, the rich are the arrogant invaders. Vietnam comes to mind when I think what a war of rich vs poor might look like. It won’t be near misses and broken escalators for long, when a sufficiently large number of people become sufficiently mad, their ivory towers will become prisons.

Huh? This doesn’t make physical sense. The bullet was traveling at airplane speed when fired, so in theory is going plane speed + bullet speed. Unless I’m misunderstanding things?

Woke-ass Bloomberg. The truth is unamerican. Transparency is anticapitalist.

Edit: downvoting me is terrorism.

Can I get a non-wonk explaintion of the implications here?

We’ll deal with step 2 after step 1.
