  • So is the joke that the PC convinced the hangman (who only needed a 5), hence the “success”, but failed to convince the leader (who needed a 20), hence the confused guy reading “failure”?

    I didn’t know that the second guy was supposed to be the leader, that would’ve made more sense. Thanks







  • Tbf the “waiting for gigs” thing isn’t really accurate for the people that do it for their full-time job. A lot of them do both Uber and Lyft and will be actively declining gigs from one service while driving for the other. When you have a lot of positive reviews you get priority on rides, drivers in populated cities where people don’t want to drive are making some pretty serious cash.

    All that isn’t to say that the lack of benefits and the like doesn’t eat into that significantly. Just wanted to dispel the myth that there’s nobody making a decent living off it.



  • Some space research should still be funded, but not as a major priority.

    Most of our ancestors probably did think that before sailing the seas, they were focused on feeding themselves, fighting off diseases and other tribes, learning how to build. While others focused on making boats and sailing. Sailing became what it is now because society survived long enough for sailing to develop. Similarly, if we as a species can keep ourselves alive long enough, gradual progress towards space exploration will develop into much more.
