You might just be the target audience of the comment above.

Thanks for putting yourself on the pyre to prove a point. Hivemind is worse here than Reddit imo, because at least Reddit has a diverse user base...

Drill, impact, etc are pretty much necessary to have cordless. I agree with the corded stuff though. Need an angle grinder or sawzall? Get corded. Way more powerful too.

No thanks. Not my president, nor do I care about his marriage.

I guess you do you though.

Of all the weird shit trump does, a still shot of Trump and Melania looking like they hate each other isn't that weird, and it's also cherry picked.

If y'all really wanted to hone in on the weird shit Republicans do, why not focus on the other people having loving relationships with their children against Trump perving on Ivanka? That is fucking weird

Haha agreed. You don't have to go back and forth over several hours or days to sort an issue out when you call. You can just hash it all out over the phone in a fraction of the time, and be on your way.

Oh well, to each their own.

I'd reckon from his parents, but I never saw the incident myself. You know kids in high school though. Spread a rumour and it catches like wildfire. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a machete.

Kid nearly lopped an arm off another kid with a samurai sword. Guess he was bullied and he lost his shit one day. Kid with the sword got help, and the kid who got cut didn't lose an arm.

If I lived in a country with lax gun control, this would have been a much different situation.

Chemically induced motivation. Just how I ~~like~~ need it

I read tasers at first and was thoroughly confused as to why this man was electrifying honey to hurt bears.

Pretty shitty thing to say, but anyway...

Just because a few big corporations make cereal, doesn't mean you have an "illusion of choice". It's kind of how the system works. A company that makes 1 brand of cereal also makes dozens of hundreds more. They are using processes and equipment already in place to make a slight variation on existing products. It's kind of just how things work. Same with companies like Asus making dozens of hundreds of variations of monitors. I don't think that's illusion of choice. That's actual choices, with actual differences.

Anecdotally, where I live, large corporations stock the grocery shelves with all their cereals, but local companies do make it in as well. I think in my situation, I do have access to items produced locally.

If you want to make an argument that some dickhead company like Mondelez owns fucking everything, I'm right with you, but whining about cereal variety makes the argument really weak.
