The saying “better a donkey than an ass” plays on the dual meaning of the word “ass.” It suggests that being called a donkey is less offensive than being called an ass, which can be used as an insult meaning stupid or foolish. The phrase highlights the contrast between the animal donkey, often seen as a hardworking and steady companion, and the derogatory use of “ass” in everyday language.
Yep, it does work

Nice of them to pretend like they aren’t gonna do a 180 on the whole Biden anti trust stuff.
Yes, this is all assuming you have a way to get all the media files you need.
Some of us have been collecting it for years.
I still don’t understand how helicopters are not flying cars.
If you want everyone to have a flying car, we should talk about everyone having a helicopter first so we can quickly come to the conclusion of why that’s a bad idea.
So when you use Spotify and Netflix, what your doing is streaming from their computers, which costs money hence why they charge you monthly.
They also add profit and licensing costs and all that to it so it adds up.
But what if, you used your own computer?
Very easy to do using just your wifi, some more complexity if you want to steam over the internet.
You can do that with VPN. I’m using Tailscale, just had to make an account and install it on the computer I mentioned and on my phone.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned it yet:
With just a cheap computer you can have your own Netflix and Spotify.
I also think it’s a generational thing.
Back then, since chess was associated with intelligence, a lot of academic types tried to play it and get good at it.
I would say once we had computers, there was another much more practical thing you could get good at.
But seriously, chess sets used to be part of the house decor.
I guess yeah but I see him as closer to Hitler and Hitler famously did like dogs
Yep, things changed, but it’s more like it’s all mask off now.
Before covid it was all like this, except the majority could pretend things were fine.
Now it’s part of the common zeitgeist that things are not fine.
I like to say that we are now in the endgame.
That doesn’t make me jealous.
The fact that we have bred a species to be happy and bring us happiness is, imo, like our best accomplishment.
Also, I can’t think of a single billionaire who is a huge fan of dogs.
Idk man, I bet there are a lot of people in the 10-50 million range that are far happier than oligarchs
Shit like this gives me hope for the future
And you save money? Oh man, the path of least resistance just changed.
Idk if this is the right place to mention this but…
Anyone else find it weird that this was so well predicted by the boys TV show?
In the show the dems win and due to a political play by the world’s smartest person, the president gets arrested and the house speaker gives all power to homelander (satire of superman and trump)
What’s super weird is that they fully had starlight supporters (the opposition) rounded up and put into prisons.
All that happened via a smart coup. In reality the people voted for this and it’s done in broad daylight…
What’s even more mad is that their last episode was called president assassination and it had to be renamed cause it literally happened that week
So yeah, the satire went over the top yet reality somehow found a way to top it but just in a far more incompetent way.
Reminds me of that friends episode where Joey finds Rachael’s book.
I can’t think of a better example of the need to “seize the means of production” than the starlink network.
Seriously, space is not within any country’s borders, how can one have private property up there?
Trick question, they were both not planned since the plan was to have 1
It’s not about what the constitution says, it’s about coming up with a reason that their die hard fans will accept, and that probably won’t be that hard
