Seriously. My cats are so relaxed because they get their food at the exact same times every day. I still hand feed the first and last meals (canned wet food), but it gives them something to look forward to during the day, even when we are at work.

They can also apparently tell time now because they get ready within five minutes of most feedings, I like to think that makes them feel more connected to their world and existence.

For the vast majority of customers that aren't looking to spend close to a grand for a card that is infinitesimally better than a card for half the price, AMD has plenty to offer.

Freedom to have every facet of your existence regulated to a homogenized set of conservative social values while also being totally free of any corporate oversight at all.

Not sure who wants to actually live there. Conservatives like two places: cities that exist because educated, largely liberal, people create jobs she money, or the country where they can leach off the cities to fund their infrastructure without any of the social costs that come with it.

Teachers aren't in charge of school policies and generally aren't even decision makers past the lowest levels of discipline.

One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

Typically kid A's parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid "gets bullied all the time" while kid Bs parents aren't experienced with the policies and aren't positive that their kid didn't do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don't fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly "gets bullied all the time" is doing exactly this.

Claiming a lot of expertise for a person who has posted nothing but verifiable horse shit in this whole thread.

The MDC is in Tukwila, not Renton. ;-)

It's an easy mistake to make when you are just making shit up to double down on getting caught making shit up already.

Here is where you post some more bullshit:

Super weird that you are claiming all this familiarity with the factory and the motivation of the complaints without realizing that they don't build the Max in South Carolina so that has nothing to do with this.

They also don't build it in Everett so it's super weird that you met so many people who worked on it there. I guess that in all your many social and professional associations with Boeing people in Everett that it just never came up at all that they build the plane fifty miles away in Renton. Even though non fictional people at Boeing are pretty goddamned specific about which airframe they work on because it literally determines where they live.

This is a fun study in how anecdotal evidence isn't all created equal. Made up nonsense is worth quite a bit less than stuff that actually happened.

The 737 Max is the only plane that Boeing has ever made that the guys at the Boeing factory refuse to fly on. These are guys with "if it ain't Boeing I ain't going" bumper stickers. Unless it's the one.

Line any merger in which a failed company ends up somehow running a successful employee, we see the systematic removal of the very reasons for it's success in the first place.

You kinda wonder why they even bother, but I guess the generation of business jerks that did it made plenty of money and it's just one more shitty thing we get to clean up after them.

It's hilarious watching Trumpers briefly turn into socialists when they try to argue that crimes against banks aren't real crimes.

We let people get so fucking rich that everything they do is newsworthy because it actually impacts a ton of people.

The real problem is that we don't actually need rich people in the first place.

The exact opposite. Autistic children have difficulty engaging in games with collaborative imagination.

Is that how you close an account at a retail bank? Last time I did that it required sitting down with a manager and I still had to go in twice before they actually did it.

Good, even if you are supportive of gun rights there has to be a better option than contributing to a Russian fascist propaganda outlet.

It's really subtle, but there are little ads for all manner of Nintendo products hidden all over the ... Super Mario Brothers movie.

The problem is that women and men who vote to protect abortion are ALSO voting for the same fascists as always. These abortion votes aren't impacting the down ballot races like they should.

There seems to be a pretty big group of folks that are okay with fascism as long as it doesn't directly impact them.

It's amusing since that audio compression is the reason why my pirated copy of interstellar is actually watchable as opposed to the streaming version which leaves your eardrums bleeding.

Let's just apply fucking loot box mechanics to everything in our lives.

I can only watch interstellar on my bedroom TV because I've maxed out the audio compression to watch things at low volume, I can actually understand what anyone in that movie is saying.
