Ugh we have people doing that in our neighborhood and it’s godawful. I think they think they’re “xeriscaping” but this is Arkansas and the incredibly hot sun makes those rocks too hot to touch or stand on (for my doggo), kills the plants that are planted near it, etc. But they aren’t going to admit their mistake and undo it.

I think Cake wrote like 30 songs about this

I’m sure it’s antifi’s doing

At the same time, recent headlines about “CS degree holders aren’t guaranteed a job anymore” wouldn’t be happening without the program.

H1Bs were badly abused, companies would post jobs with ridiculous requirements, throw away the resumes they got, and then claim there were no Americans willing and ready, so they neeed that immigrant. It’s driven down wages and jobs.

But the solution wasn’t to axe the program, rather figure out a better solution that doesn’t fuck over Americans.

There was a time when WiFi was actually useful in smart appliances, I have an LG washer/dryer about 7-8 years old, no touchscreens, but by WiFi you can get cycle done alerts, time checks, even remote start it. My matching fridge gives me energy conservation information, and allows me to choose a lower duty winter cycle

I like these features. IDK why the fuck I would want a fridge with a touchscreen. All the smart appliances I’ve seen in the last 5 years are just there to serve you ads and steal your data.

I always found it to be melancholy but lately I’ve been seeing the whole cycle, and how if we don’t have fall, we can’t have spring. I suppose it helps I moved 1,000 miles south so winter isn’t really a thing anymore. I do encourage that.

Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.

Windsor Castle, yes, and 4 people got arrested.

Some people lean one way or another. There’s a quote from I, Tonya - something like “in this world there are flowers, and there are gardeners. You don’t know how to garden.”

MSNBC as well

We know they follow a fractal pattern.

As do dinosaurs, which ate the big trees, and (in chicken nugget form) eat the small broccoli trees too

Nature is beautiful.

And there’s a third way of looking at it, where people who shouldn’t have an opinion about it at all are suddenly full of right-wing talking points that don’t align with science and reality.

Asiavision doesn’t have the same ratings tho

From the low res photos he seems like he might be hot. Two hot shooters in a row? IDK what this means for fall and spring shooting trends, but I like it.

It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.

So yeah good call GOP

They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight. Their coalition isn’t going to last forever.

His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.

Yeah I lived a car-free life when I lived in Seattle, working on Magnolia Hill, living on Capitol Hill. That was doable year round. The midwestern flyover states I grew up and live in, tho, no it’s not workable. In the North there’s snow for months, in the South we have monsoon season where it rains for weeks, in the summer heat index gets above 110 regularly and these people don’t plant shade trees. Plus nearest grocery stores are miles away (I live downtown in a capital city).

Even though I work a few blocks from my home, I can’t live car free here without significant ride-sharing expenses (the bus system is a joke and only runs part of the day, grocery shopping would eat an entire day of my week that way), if I did that I couldn’t go on roadtrips on weekends either, unless I rented a car - and all that is more expensive than my (20k, not 40k) car.

But I do love this community and it’s coastal approach to shaming people who rely on cars… take the tram or train, lmao

Came out of government-funded research actually. Back when we could still achieve scientific feats on behalf of our country.

Your brain generates the thoughts and feelings that trouble you. Where do you want the locus of control to be? Do you want to think this is crystals and horoscopes, outside factors, influencing you and causing you to be miserable? Or do you want the locus of control to be inside you, where you can be empowered to change the thoughts and feelings that trouble you?

It’s hard not to blame the victim when they’re also the perp, you need to focus on the “perp” part and not the “victim” part if you want to succeed here.

They’ve ruled on other cases relating to the “occupation”
