  • “I can remember this as a young man, when we were arguing about whether or not we should be required to wear seat belts, or if we should wear seat belts,” Robinson continues. “And I can always remember there’d be one person to say, ‘Well, what if I get stuck on a railroad tracks and my seat belt won’t come off?’ Number one, if you are stuck on the train tracks, that is Darwin. That’s not any of my concern. That is Darwin. You saw those train tracks. If you couldn’t get past them, I cannot help you.”

    He concludes: “That is not a good argument, see, because in this country, we’re not talking about a bunch of people who go down to the abortion place because they’ve been raped or because they’ve been a victim of incest. We’re talking about a culture that we have created in this society that tells you when you want to feel good, go in there and go lay down and do your thing. If you get in a little trouble, it’s alright to murder somebody to get out of it. It is not — it is not okay.”

    First off, this is some sort of logical fallacy here - straw man maybe?

    Secondly, isn’t wearing a seatbelt now something that conservatives are railing against again?

    I’ll come out with an anti-recommendation: Don’t do GitLab.

    They used to be quite good, but lately (as in the past two years or so) they’ve been putting things behind a licensing paywall.

    Now if your company wants to pay for GitLab, then maybe consider it? But I’d probably look at some of the other options people have mentioned in this thread.



  • The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.

    What campaign? The election is in 3.5 months. Every day that Biden doesn’t step down is one less day for Harris to start ramping up her campaign efforts.

    Also, please someone do a poll of the undecided who have strong feelings towards…

    • women
    • minorities
    • prosecutors

    Although most may fall firmly in the Trump camp, I’m betting there are some undecided who think that women absolutely should not be president.

    Not to mention waffling Republicans may be more incentivized to vote if the Democrat isn’t an old white dude.




  • I don’t know if it’s even possible anymore (heck it’s hard for me at 40), but try to put something in retirement funds. If your work as a 401k, try and contribute. If you leave the job, your money can then go to an IRA. How do you do that? Beats me - I have five or six requirement accounts, each topping out at around between $2-5k.

    Also, brush your teeth and if you grind them in your sleep - get a dentist to fit you for a mouth guard.

    Edit: wow, down votes for teeth health.

    Edit edit: reading comprehension isn’t my strong suite.
