Back up to even having that be a point. We could solve a lot of crimes if everyone’s phone reported our location and recorded our voices for the police. We could solve a lot of crimes if the cops put cams in everyone’s house. Why don’t we do this? The constitution. I don’t care of Flock solves 100k crimes a year, it’s unconstitutional so it’s not an option.

Surely this will bring prices down

afaik that’s been the policy ever since. If the mods don’t fully comply with all instructions, they are removed, and then because it’s modless they get to put in new ones. Basically lackeyism at digital scale.

The odds of him having a televised stroke are pretty high, if that thought helps you brace it

Food insecurity in my ruby red state just hit 37%. More than 1/3 of the state is fucking hungry! The food banks struggle to keep running, let alone keep pace with demand. People just need that everyday experience to be linked with the republican administration here, but that direct line isn’t clear to people, or they’re disenfranchised enough not to care anymore. Education campaigns are so sorely needed.

Kind of want this framed and hung conspicuously in my house, as a lifelong and forever activist

I grew up in the north, I live in the South now, and I relish every hot, sweaty, extra long summer. The severe depression that winter would cause becomes a motivator to bake like an oven later in life.

Either way, sales are going to top 6.8 billion trillion dollars next year, among infants alone

Here we have them going for about 50¢ a leaf, which ain’t bad. I’d like to go ahead and sell my yard… we have some really nice leaves folks

People keep trying, it’s just that the secret service insists on doing its job which, there’s a time and place guys.

My husband and I used Uber for one of the first times to get back home after a long walk, where we were both inebriated. It was pretty clear and we weren’t trying to hide it, but we weren’t rude, and I was careful not to slam the door or anything. The driver gave us a 1-star rating and it took a long time before I found a few drivers willing to chance it on me in the meantime. I don’t remember that driver but I hope I’ve cut them off in traffic since. You know what, I probably have.

If you believe imagining works, it actually will. Source: magic feedback loops for dummies

Having the last letter be on the right wall would have looked a bit more earnest even if still obviously a gag. But I think they wanted to make sure no donors or alumni saw it and misunderstood.

This is just a trope everywhere and it’s absurd. Like Project Hail Mary. Yep, a school physics teacher is chiseled and looks like a shaggy sex teddy bear dog. Just like every other physics teacher I’ve met. Yep.

I’m gay but like, the kind that almost got murdered in the 90s for coming out in a rural high school (I know Judy Shepard well). Fast forward to my mom telling me she’s conservative in every way “except she belongs to the log cabin republicans” and I just lost it. “God gave you a gay kid so you could realize everything else they’re saying is a lie, too, but you’re too stupid to get that.”

And that’s when I suddenly realized she had been outright abusive and manipulative my whole life, and it was just this idea of a perfect mom that clouded my vision on it. She weaponized her kids against our dad, his family, anyone she didn’t like. Because she was too much of a victim to fight her own fights. Emotional incest. Lots of therapy fodder.

Ford struggled with anxiety and imposter syndrome early on, and developed his tough, flippant exterior around that as a coping mechanism. So there are a lot of stories about him saying callous, tough guy things. But he’s quite a softie who really loves the art of acting, so I don’t think he’s really dismissing everything and everyone outright.

Which toilet paper perforation is it between

Got a kickstarter for a cool idea, and a friend with a podcast with like 12 million subscribers? This is about the barrier to entry. But you’re going to be OK, maybe you go take a boring, stable job like a state university, and make up the difference in pay by consulting during work hours. Maybe it’s not so bad.

The way they used the exam software, and TBH they do take a lot of pointless liberties. She’s autistic and read the directions incredibly literally, locking herself out of most portions of several key exams.
