Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever , in Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election

Look… Pelosi has shown no sign of losing a step (for better or for worse…) and is one of the few politicians that I believe would know if they are “up to it” or not. And she has a LOT of institutional knowledge.

But also? The Feinstein and mcconnel optics are already HORRIBLE. And she has already groomed Hakeem Jeffries who, hard-on for israel aside, is pretty awesome. Pelosi’s seat is not at risk of being lost to republicans and she would be a lot better suited toward helping and mentoring people as an adviser, rather than being an active politician.

KingStrafeIV ,

She’s had years to train up a successor, at this point it’s just blind power hungry arrogance.

jj4211 ,

To your first paragraph, decline often comes suddenly. Of course with a two year term, and hundreds of representatives, it’s not as critical of a risk as a 6 year senator, but still.

so far the comments are true reasons to be demotivated in 2022 and 2023, but not about what makes 23 different, if data is correct

I think the difference is burnout. Shit has been getting worse at a quicker pace, and we are absolutely showered with worse and worse bad news every day.

That builds, man. And its hard to keep going when it does.

You mean you are not motivated to make rich people even richer? Shame.

Tygr , in Americans Are Less Motivated to Work This Year Compared to Last, New Data Shows

Motivated employees get taken advantage of with more work with no pay raises. These workers have finally learned and reduced their production to be even with those around them.

P.S. If this is you, like it was me, learn entrepreneurship. The harder you work, the more success you have.

MedicatedMaybe ,

The world needs more than entrepreneurs though and those people deserve a living wage.

Tygr ,

I agree with you.

Chainweasel ,

The harder you work, the more success you have.

I mean if your definition of success is being rewarded with more work with no pay raise then sure, but that’s just not true anymore. People used to believe that and they got taken advantage of, and you even addressed this in the first part of your comment. The real lesson needs to come from the top down. If you want your employees to work harder, pay them more.

Bo7a ,

You missed a part of the comment you are replying to. tygr said “The harder you work, the more success you have.” in relation to the previous sentence about changing from wage slave to entrepreneur.

Okay, Tom Peters.

HorseWithNoName ,

Is it really “learn entrepreneurship,” or is it actually “have capital”

toomanyjoints69 ,

Just become a landlord, idiot. :-P

KevonLooney ,

The key is to have enough to fail. That’s why you see successful house flippers or whatever who started out with money. They may have started 2 or 3 businesses before they found what worked.

If you start out with only enough money for one business or house, you will be struggling for a long time because you have to make it work to survive. You have no money to expand if it’s a good idea and no money to quit and start over.

The best thing to start with is luck. Second best is enough money, so you can try several times.

Tygr ,

When I started, I setup hosting and created 100 websites selling other people’s products. It was like $50/mo to do it. There’s ways to start a business without capital.

These days I would do TikTok videos selling other peoples products. No hosting needed

Who needs food when you’ve got a nuclear sub that “often” works?

This is a diesel submarine. Not nuclear powered, but nuclear-armed. One day. Supposedly.

Captain Sabertooth coins,” said 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate.

what's up Norsemen, who's this Captain Sabertooth, and why don't i know him.. i didn't know i needed a fictional Norwegian pirate until today, but now i need one very much, thanks, that sounds brilliant..

virku , (edited )

It’s a childrens story character. Kids in Norway are crazy about him. He is one of the main themes in the zoo/amusement park in Kristiansand. They have a midnight theatre (23:00-00:30) with ridiculously high production value. Went there this summer with my four year old twins who had an absolute blast of a time.

Yeah! Dyreparken is Norwegian for The Zoo. ( dyr = animal)

@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

thank you! i really want to visit and probably just stay in Norway.. if i went to a Norwegian Pirate Zoo i know i would never come back..

virku ,

Go for it if you can afford it! It’s really expensive by Norwegian standards. We didn’t live at the park, sans the one night we were at the show, but at a friend who lives in the neighboring city.

@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

ah that's cool when you can call on a friend nearby.. it sounds like a dangerously cheerful place, i gotta see it.. i'll start saving my pennies..

SpaceNoodle ,

Dyr = Tier = Deer

Ubermeisters ,

i sy

nantsuu ,

For those wondering, in Old English deer used to be a more general term for animals before it changed to the modern meaning.

SariEverna ,

Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.

virku ,

It’s pronounced almost the same as deer. But the Y is pronounced as the Y in rythm.

SpaceNoodle ,

That’s a completely made-up word, so nobody has any idea what sound that’s supposed to be.

virku ,

Every word is completely made up if you think about it. But are you saying nobody knows how to pronounce the Norwegian word Dyr, or the English word Rythm? Either way there are millions of people who disagree with you.

nantsuu ,

I assume they're commenting on the fact that you misspelled the word 'rhythm.'

virku ,

I see. I didn’t know that rhythm had two H’es. Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll let it sit so that the comment chain makes sense. I can’t say that the other comment was in any way helpful though.

Pips ,

Brings back memories. I haven’t thought about that place in years. Glad it’s still awesome.

theodewere ,
@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

i don't know him, but i'll bet Captain Sabertooth would say you found the real treasure, matey

Captain Sabertooth is a dangerous man.

It says so, in his song.

Nationalize StarLink.

givesomefucks ,

People keep saying that, which only sounds like a good idea if you know nothing about it besides it internet

It’s a shit ton of cheap satellites that cause more issues than provide benefit

deegeese ,

It was built with taxpayer money and is critical to US national security. Now it’s being used to help the enemy in war. We absolutely should nationalize it.

givesomefucks ,

No, we should stop filling up our orbit with an insane number of junk satellites…

There’s better ways to provide internet to isolated areas, and just the starlink satellites on their own is effecting a lot of shit. And it’s going to get worse as time goes by and they all break

HoustonHenry ,

If the governments gotta clean up his trash, he doesn’t need it in the first place 🤙send him an invoice in advance lol

primbin ,

I was under the impression that Starlink satellites are orbiting too low to meaningfully contribute to Kessler syndrome, since their orbital decay time is 5 years. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like starlink either, I just don’t know of any long term consequences

agitatedpotato ,

So what you’re saying is taxpayers are already on the hook for when the cheap shit breaks since Musk is king of government subsidies. So why wouldn’t we nationalize it so we get the benefits too.

Noice.

Hyggyldy , in Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House

I was wondering if the actual quote was something more weaselly than that but nope.

Beck: "If you become president will you lock people up?"

Trump: “The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us.”

LillyPip ,

Fascists always do the ole ‘he hit me first waah’ gambit. All you can do is ignore it and treat them like the crybabies they are.

Perhaps if someone gives trump a dummy (binky) and rocks him gently we’ll all be able to sleep for a while.

‘It’s okay, you were the bestest president, sleep now, everyone lubs you. Shhh.’

Followed by a brick.

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

If someone gave him a brickin’ early on in life, we wouldn’t be here. Just enough to slow home down a little, nothing grave, take a few points off his IQ

RedAggroBest ,

On the other hand, baby Trump brains splattered over a crib sounds pretty sure fire. If only

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

That’s too old testament for me. Specifically these instances. The author’s “explanation” at the end is way off, but it is a good collection otherwise.

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

It’s nice finding another listener. All the Cool Zone Media peeps are great, too

drcobaltjedi ,

This sounds very “Robert Evans”-y to me.

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

I did miss the attribution, my apologies. It is Robert Evans.

drcobaltjedi ,

Haha, no worries. It just sounded like something he said awhile back or would say and I wasn’t sure. It is nice though to see him popping up here though

LillyPip ,

That’s how you split timelines, then before you know it, everyone’s fucking their aunt.

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

Not sure on the reference, but I’d risk it

LillyPip ,
Dressedlikeapenguin ,

Thanks! I need to go back to finish the series

LillyPip ,

100% worth it. And the moment you’re done, you’ll want to watch it again to try and untwist your mind. Best series in ages, imo.
