Great cast, looks fun. I wonder how much it will resemble War of the Roses. (I assumed the title is a reference to that film.)

Oh my God this is so f-ing true. It makes me think a lot of sociology classes I took in college where we’d talk about the artificiality of money how it’s only meaningful because we have collectively decided it is. The folks who try to make it all scientific with lots of elaborate analytics and complex charts are basically just engaging a social math exercise.

Having lived in STL for about 10 years now, I know a ton of Boeing people. Every single one of them who’s still there hates it, and the others got away as quickly as they could. It’s somewhat universally known as a shit show in town, but I’m confident that info doesn’t make it to college students or new grads. The universities benefit too much from Boeing.

Thanks all! I’ll try (slightly) soapy water and see if that helps. I guess it’s good it’s indoors, not so many plants for it to hurt this way.

Fun fact: historians think she never actually said the famous line attributed to her (“let them eat cake”), which was supposedly evidence used to show her indifference to economic troubles in France at the time. It’s believed that the line was crafted to feed anti-nobility sentiment among the working class that ultimately led to the French Revolution. (Here’s a source, but there’s many put there)

It’s a good thing that we’ve progressed to the point that nobody uses false information to drive political narratives anymore. /s

Generally when something can be explained due to stupidity or maleficence, stupidity is usually the culprit.

Given that this quote is related an historical myth, I think this stupidity is way more likely.

Stupid, but still insensitive.

Im a big fan of Pandora. I like listening to lots of different genres and discovering random music and the pandora app is pretty good for that. I have channels for everything from bossa nova to classic country to alternative and they do a great job of recommending stuff that I would never find on my own. It runs through android auto and on my pc so I basically have it playing all the time.

Okay I’m not very technical but I hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being and want desperately to break from them but can’t bring myself to switch my regular and gaming PCs to Linux. It just feels like too much work like I’d be starting over and most of all I just fear change. Is there a good YT series/channel or blog or something I can check out that might make things a little less intimidating?

House arrest with no internet would be enough for me. Probably the worst punishment trump could get tbh

So my question is, how did this guy come to power in the first place? Was he always like this and it was just hidden from view for 70 years? Or is he going senile and just became crazy and stupid in the last few years? I mean, he’s a lawyer and was mayor of New York during 9-11. At least at a distance he seemed to have his shit together for a while.
