Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump
  • “My kids don’t want to hang out with me after I dismissed their opinions as a mental disorder and the party I voted for tries to control their bodies! Why must I suffer? I didn’t do anything to them directly! These kids today are so unfaaaair!”

    What a jackass.

    I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.

  • Max Verstappen becomes a 4 time F1 world champion
  • Tell me you’re not watching without telling me you’re not watching.

    Per F1:

    • The 2024 season is the first in F1 history in which four different constructors have finished one-two in a Grand Prix (Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes).

    • It’s also the first season in history in which four constructors have won at least four Grands Prix each.

    • And the first season in history in which seven drivers have won multiple Grands Prix.

  • Do you use the popcorn button?
  • I used to have a microwave that the popcorn button worked perfectly in and it was amazing.

    After it died we replaced it with the same make and model and the new one’s popcorn button is crap. I’ve now timed how long the bags need to be in, so I just put that in instead. Never use the popcorn button anymore. It’s annoying but effectively it just is two extra buttons before starting so it’s not horrible.

    Although now I have one of those electric kettle popcorn makers like the movie theater and pretty much only use that now. But it definitely can’t match microwave popcorn for convenience.

  • What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it?
  • Used to be on an odd schedule when I worked overnight.

    My work shifts were Thursday to Saturday, 1800 - 0500. So Sunday, when I got off at 0500, I’d stay awake until around 1900 (being up for ~26 hours) and then to go bed. Wake up Monday morning and have a normal Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then stay up all night Wednesday night until Thursday morning (another 26 hour stint) and the go to bed Thursday morning so I could then go to work at 1800 Thursday night again.

    Did that for about a year and it actually worked out reasonably well, but not something I’d entertain now that I’m older.

    That schedule is also the reason all my clocks are always set for 24-hour time and I can still fall asleep in broad daylight without any trouble.

  • Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders, historians say
  • No shit.

    Thanks, DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Took an incredible upwelling of enthusiasm, energy, and grassroots engagement, and completely squandered it by nominating Hillary instead.

    It still pisses me off. It should be the end of President Sanders’ second term.
