I live in a place where way too many people drive pickups, and I've been seeing a lot more new Toyota trucks in the last few years.

I think it's because they're almost as big as an F-150 now and they sell them with factory lift kits and all the luxury crap that makes them look like any other dumbass Chevy Childsmusher 1500.

The usual practice is to pardon a handful of people to improve the optics of pardoning cronies and rich campaign donors. They call them "packing peanuts", the people they pardon to protect the ones they really wanted to give them to.

Very apt that it's called "casting a pellet" because that was magical

I want to do something to help a couple of homeless people I met recently, but money is super tight for me. Should I just give them a small amount of money, or should I offer them clothes/toiletries/gear?

My partner volunteers at a thrift store and gets half off, so I was thinking of getting them some warm clothes, socks, some toiletries, that kind of stuff. But I also feel weird about giving homeless people stuff instead of money because it's basically saying, "I don't trust you to spend money".

These are people that have been living outside for a long time, and one has some physical problems. It's also crazy cold here.

I think he means stuff like Venmo, Stripe, PayPal, GoFundMe, etc. Not banks, but banking services.

My father in law has zionist brainworms despite being a Catholic antisemite who only watches local news. I think he must have conservative coworkers or something because he comes out with crazy Fox newsy takes sometimes and seems surprised we don't agree with them.

Luckily we only have to spend 4 hours with him and he usually is drunk and takes a nap.

Doom Eternal also forces you to use more than one gun, but without pushing you to max conserve ammo. There are different weapons and combos that work better for different monsters, and unless you play on the easiest difficulties, you're forced to learn it.

I think it's by far the best of the Doom series to the point that I don't know how they can do a followup without it feeling like a downgrade or a DLC.

Non-lethal to moles or non-lethal to everything? When I worked landscaping we used a grub killing treatment for mole prevention. Any kind of repellent is going to be pretty ineffective when there's a good source of food there. The mole holes also make the soil more aerated, which makes it more suitable for grubs, too.

If it's very wet soil you can make it less attractive to grubs by not watering, changing the soil composition, and adjusting grades, but that's a lot more complicated than spreading some grubex.

I read it a long time ago, but I remember feeling it did a good job with the facts, but it did kind of a sloppy job trying to weave it all into one overarching conspiracy, rather than a bunch of separate conspiracies as part of a larger system. I still think it's a good book, though.

I just realized the book there's a different book called "Unholy Alliance". I'm referring to "Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia" by Paul Williams

I mostly agree about the cybertruck. It's a stupid vehicle that shouldn't exist, but it looks cool.

Puppetmasters by Philip Willan is well written and comprehensive, but a little bit of a difficult read.

A lot of people like Unholy Alliance, but I couldn't take some of it seriously. To be fair I read it a long time ago, I might be more receptive to some of the speculation now.

Note to anyone else trying it, the test doesn't score you, so don't submit unless you've saved your answers.

Here's the answer key:

To me this shows that The Daily Wire is not simply grifters grifting for the money. If it was just about scamming their fans for money, they'd see which way the wind was blowing and shut up about this. Instead they're carrying water for the most unsympathetic billionaires at the cost of angering their fans.

The Daily Wire since inception has been first and foremost about representing the interests of capital, even over their own personal financial interests. They know who made the Daily Wire possible, and it wasn't chuds, it was fossil fuel billionaires.

I doubt most of their fans will understand this, though.

You could have 1 truck for 50 houses and it would sit unused most of the time. Most people need their trucks to move and maybe a few times a year to haul stuff from home depot.
