    I may not have an academic paper available or spoke to lead expert Dr. Plumber McPlumbface to get a quote, but I do know that every time someone in my house flushed wet wipes over time, my pipes backed up not once, not twice, but three times. The plumber told us “These things keep us in business.” When wet wipes were no longer flushed down the toilet, the pipes have not backed up since. I guess it is safe to assume 1. An expert, who fixes things that may make you question life in general, told me that wet wipes are the problem. 2. I stopped doing the thing the expert told me to do and the problem has stopped. 3. I am now corroborating with a random person on the internet in the hopes that common knowledge is formed or some asshole posts a scientific research article. Welcome to conversations of discovery! I don’t even know why I posted here. It just stuck out.













  • In this climate, you are giving them what they want with violence. BLM is now considered terrorism and did not accomplish their objective. The violence was hijacked by people that just wanted to loot and plunder and gave fuel to the media demonize it. Lives were also needlessly lost and a lot of property destroyed for a brief moment of fleeting justice. Need I remind everyone the Civil Rights Movement, just as a violent time, was not achieved with protestors throwing the first stone. Defend yourself for sure, but don’t instigate it.

    Those that call for violence on either side are the first to cower or get killed on the front line and drag the rest of us into their mess. There is no regurgitation of state propaganda in my statement. What’s wrong with holding a sign up that says “Fuck President Musk” ? We all know both of those clowns have thin skin. Make that your chant and make them hear it. Get into their heads. Make them fall on their own sword for once.



  • Giving me flashbacks to a college instructor that marked my entire functioning code block, written on paper, as wrong because I did not clearly make a ; on one line of about 100 lines. I argued that a compiler would mark that in the real world, but he countered with "It still won’t run without that ; " That made me rethink my career path in CS. Fuck that guy.


  • Both parties need to split up into new parties. However, the money flowing is incentive to prevent them from doing that. Party splits have happened before several times in US history. This time the billionaires are funding all of this chaos thanks to legislation they started passing since post Watergate. How do we get them to split? Take the money out or give them more money than the billionaires can. Both resolutions that should not require drawing blood. How do we do that? I have no idea how to fund more money than billionaires, but being somewhat of an optimist, 99% of the population can probably figure out a way once they stop this tribal mentality of red vs blue.
