Germany Set To Miss Their Emissions Targets For A Ridiculous Reason

Over the years, I have covered the idiocracy of Germany’s nuclear phase-out multiple times. You see, when you look at the data, this decision makes zero sense. Despite what pop culture might tell you, nuclear power is incredibly safe, with a death rate per TWh 80% lower than solar! It’s ...

It’s Absolutely Ridiculous To Say Generation X Can Ever Really Retire

You can face reality or resist it. Do the latter and you run the risk of fooling yourself, leading to a less-than-perfect relative old age and maybe even a bitter life. Particularly when you assess the prospects of your retirement situation. Double particularly if you’re...

It’s Absolutely Ridiculous To Say Generation X Can Ever Really Retire

You have to find a balance between being pissed off and acting in the face of the things that piss you off… Chasing the American dream — pretty much just a 30-year mortgage, a new car and a job that comes with healthcare — at the expense of, oddly, your physical and mental heal...

Young People Don’t Have a Retirement Crisis. They Have a Crisis Of Rigid, Ridiculous Expectations.

The people America really screwed are the old people stuck in the aftermath of their runaway American dream in ill health on low, fixed incomes. Or maybe they bit off more than they could chew in their prime or relative old age. Now they struggle to make ends meet or live a fun, comfortable life. ...

Rejecting the Ridiculous Idea that the Bible Ever Allowed Slavery

God gave Israel an entire law code. Every law is connected to every other law. None of these passages are given in isolation. Therefore, to properly evaluate passages Leviticus 25, we have to look at the regulations God gave previously (as a foundation) and subsequently (as a clarification). A...

Remembering Mike Pence’s Ridiculous “Solution” to Gun Violence

Well, it’s official. Former Vice President Mike Pence has just withdrawn his name from the Republican presidential primary, ending his short-lived 2024 campaign for the White House. First of all, who here is really surprised by this? In the latest GOP debates, Pence radiated all the passion...

The Ridiculous Notion That No One Is Above the Law

You probably think this story will be about a certain ex-president who likely committed dozens of crimes while in office and will likely never spend a day in jail. There are admitted similarities, but this story is about a vice president who literally killed someone and tried to overthrow the govern...

Ridiculous School Rules in Japan Reveal a Lack of Common Sense

The temperature is at the freezing point, possibly well below, as a seventeen-year-old boy walks to school. No big deal. I grew up in the mountains and did the same. The difference? I was allowed to wear a jacket. This boy in Kagoshima City could only wear his thin school uniform. Something barel...
