For 2021, resolve not to give engagement to people who don't deserve it

Don't hate-retweet charlatans who do it on purpose. Screenshot if you have to. Ignore obvious clickbait junk.

Instead, amplify actual, useful, original content.

Only you can clean up social media.

Look in the dictionary for "Gell-Mann Amnesia" and the example given is "People still read Axios and Barak Ravid is still employed"

Fixed it for you.

If 130+ vessels move, on average, 20 million barrels in a day, how do only '40' move 16M barrels in the same time?

The least you could do is some basic journalism as opposed to pumping out the headlines you're handed.

@TheIntelFrog That's been the case for over a decade now, we don't have enough flat decks & don't have the finances to build fast enough to make up for lack of previous production

It's also true of the smaller hulls, everyone is getting yard time delayed, and this has been going on for ages

@MCCCANM You need to look in the list of perks more carefully, there's weird shit in there. Nuclear reactor operators can legally convert people to Judaism

@memeticsisyphus I had a much older Toyota van and it was atrocious looking and very unfun to drive (especially on the highway) but it could carry essentially anything that didn't require a flatbed, at near zero running cost

@WeaponizD1 Boomers have real toilets too, a definite plus

I can only imagine what the press will do when they find out what life is like on a stationed SSBN

From a New York Times video about the suffering among sailors deployed on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The caption, in case it's too small to read, says, "They didn't sign up to be on a ship in the middle of the ocean."

@robbysoave That's been an argument of mine, that it's not even about the datacenters, it's the construction

The traffic, the dump trucks, the diesel smell, the digging and dynamiting, etc. all from construction

Once the DCs get built they're pleasant neighbors

[A Deep Rumbling @LowestOctave]

@NoahCRothman Admittedly Amazon is absolutely blasting ads into my Youtube feed insisting it's a new development for DCs to 'pay for every watt they use'

[A Deep Rumbling @LowestOctave]

@politicalmath And if you want 'good paying manufacturing jobs' it doesn't get much better than semiconductor fab work

[A Deep Rumbling @LowestOctave]

@politicalmath I'd argue against that

Hell these days the DCs have bigger parking lots

God dammit UPS

@LegasovAnalytic Well for one thing that's a destroyer

My job has progressed to the stage of "Politicians show up to my place of business to take photo ops for the local newspaper showing how much they both hate me"

@WeaponizD1 It's not that bad living it, but if you described it to an unsuspecting civilian / the NYT it would sound worse than the gulag

They also don't hit a lot of ports!

@neoagrarian @sentdefender What job do you think Larry Ticonderoga did

[A Deep Rumbling @LowestOctave]

@sentdefender Police were on the lookout for a woman disguised as a black sofa

@ARagingBill @CounselingDad @a_chrisbray That's skimmer talkin'
