If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Because tech stocks routinely go way higher than other stocks because they feel there’s a much larger chance of an announcement boosting it to a new high value. Ironically Tesla and spacex are so overvalued that a new high valuation is unlikely to match current stock ticker values. It’s easier to explain as high risk (tech companies for the most part) vs low risk gambling (Amazon, alibaba, pharmaceutical, banking, real estate). They’re all risky, but high risk high reward appeals more to people who have always been bailed out of poor decisions they’ve made.




  • It’s interesting how they make claims about antisemitism but won’t quote a single instance of antisemitism, yet feel compelled to report this lower than 200 account bot farm to the US government and say they’re spreading hate. Jpost is as reputable as Breitbart, I don’t think any legitimacy should be afforded them.

    To me it seems like they’re starting to provide nucleation sites for the US government to eventually have one with enough popularity to take action on. No doubt there are going to be bots actually spreading antisemitism and his posts now if not already.

    Also it’s a bullshit headline, they claim to trace it to city hall, but then later admit what connects it is their reposts, not their actual IPs. Are they insinuating there’s a server farm or a phone farm mass posting this in some closet at the city hall? Delusional


  • It’s just racism. They’re equally scared of common refrains they themselves use like, “Inshallah” “God willing” I’d argue it should be parsed that way from the jump.

    Ironically they often use worse statements all the time, “God dammit” “Jesus fucking christ” “Holy shit” or at least wouldn’t claim to base their vote on something repeating them.

    Meeting them at their level is to be gaslit into believing they have principles they’re willing to repeat. Navigating their thoughts is only confusing because it’s all motivated by what they’re not going to tell you. Even complete stupidity doesn’t produce such incoherent bullshit.






  • People tend to keep their views and the world was a lot different when they were young. It’s hard for them to see that conditions have changed or that the victims of the change are not the issue because it worked fine for them in ideal conditions to start a family etc.

    They’ve been programmed by American propaganda about rugged individualism to not seek help with internal strife and to be judgemental of those who lean on others, as well as a specifically targeted belief about therapy being unnecessary and wasted money through even most Hollywood depictions.

    It’s not a dead end starting point for someone to change for the better, but it’s a big hill to get over for someone who accepts no advice, especially from those younger than them.

    That all being said, my grandma is in her 80s and is far more progressive than almost every boomer I’ve ever met and even most gen x.


  • I think your effort would be better put towards an enclosure for the whole printer if you don’t already have one.The radiant heat loss of the bed will become a good thing. Lots of people add additional heat time to give the stagnant air time to heat up the enclosure. As others have said though it sorta depends on what you’re printing mostly if it matters at all. PLA is such low temp it’s not difficult for the machine to maintain at all. If you’re doing PC or nylon you may need every advantage you can get.

    For the adhesives conversation, there are quite a few that can cope with high temp. Silicone is probably the best in case you regret it. Other glue could take a coating of your plate off.
