you can tell that OpenGL is a better religion than Christianity, because OpenGL has a SuperBible, while Christianity only has a normal bible

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

manifesting parental derangement by creating a rigid taxonomy of ”’mine!’ toddlers” and “‘no!!’ toddlers.” watch this space for when adults start convincing each other that their problems all source to being no-toddlers in a mine-toddler society

ok so the deal is that magic the gathering (terminally fortnitified) got the license to make a tournament legal spiderman set but the license doesn't cover digital products so they need to make a functionally equivalent but non-spiderman themed set specifically for online play

A 5-year-old wanted a Jimmy Carter birthday party. His mom delivers.

Ryan became fascinated with the 39th president — especially Carter's Habitat for Humanity work — after learning about him on Presidents Day when Ryan was in preschool.
