@docakx This advice is everything wrong with public health. Correct in fact. Wrong in every way that matters. What a lover you must be through your plastic wrap. What a poor guide that asks people to give up what makes life worth saving.

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

@SVDoomBC @CLT_Exam It certainly does. Those societies began the great conversation that spans more than 2000 years of insight, beauty and exploration of the human condition. Ancient Greece or Rome had no special claim on orgies or painful execution. You can find those in any society.

@MattWalshBlog Have you heard of…fireworks??

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

@welchtommyone @Notwokenow Utter and complete nonsense. And everyone that believes it is either trying to fool someone or fooling themselves.

@pmarca @slatestarcodex The saddle bronc riding clip is actually from the Calgary Stampede…in Canada 😂 Still not the 51st state.

@mnbookman @VantageGlobal03 @athenaeumbc Epic slam 😂

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

@Anc_Aesthetics Either you’re trying to fool others. Or you’ve been fooled yourself. Claude has produced the answer it knows you want. When I ask it the same question it gives me a completely different answer.

People don't understand the power of DEPRECIATION. You live in a world of sand castles that are constantly falling apart, and only the constant maintenance effort of billions of people keeps it from turning into a post-apocalyptic movie in a matter of months.

@ArtemisConsort 50+% of all aviation conferences are about air safety. At some point you’d think people would realize we’re just not meant to fly.

@latinedisce Vile post. You do the cause of Latin a disservice by adopting not the best from our past but the worst. Puritanical morality and the persecution of women is beneath you.

@RogersHelps Wow you got back to me. Kudos! It’s Green. And it apparently belongs to Telus. Who has decided they’ll send someone out on the 30th 😂 And they keep sending me texts about a 200$ service charge to repair their Telco box. Telus is great. This is why I’m a Rogers customer. #service

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

So crazy story. Telus switching box with all your Internet cable and fully powered is unlocked and completely exposed and I can’t actually REPORT it.

City sent me to Telus. What’s the bet that is Shaw?? Will we ever know? Does ANYONE own this box? Maybe the Russians? #WTf

@TELUSsupport @Rogers

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

@TELUSsupport first an online chat that pushed me to some charge tech support. Then call menus that won’t let you proceed unless you have an account. I don’t. And after this NEVER will. Then being put on hold. Transferred. THIS IS MADNESS. I’M TRYING TO REPORT YOUR OWN PROPERTY ISSUE. #insanity.

[Rom Lokken @Grokmonkey]

@TELUSsupport I’m trying to report that your Telco box is unlocked with all wires and power EXPOSED. But your contact numbers WILL NOT ACCEPT THE REPORT. I CANNOT GET THROUGH.

WHEN SOME KID PULLS YOUR WIRES PLEASE SEND THIS TO THEIR LAWYERS.

DM ME IF YOU CARE.

This is one of the most beautiful and exact descriptions of liberal education I have ever read. It was written by Leo Strauss.

@RI7164S @GrandpaRoy2 It’s a WAR. There’s little difference whether the drone delivers your death or an artillery shell. Laws are the privileges of peace.

@fljczk @voooooogel @TetraspaceWest Why are you assuming the local fauna can’t be harnessed to provide stable high speed propulsion? Because the comment concerned *distance* as the relevant point.
