Sounds like somebody missed that murphy-bed woman.

As right as you are, it’s still hard to have sympathy for them. It’s not like there weren’t any signs. It’s not like nobody warned them. Once again, we are standing here saying “I told you so”.

Like a base, but for your data.

I live in Massachusetts where we’ve had universal school lunch/no means-testing for a few years. We dont need free lunch by any measure, but it really takes something off my plate. That’s my big reason for using it…one less thing to worry about.

For a lot of kids (too many), school lunch may be the best meal that they get in any given day.

Chase is a class traitor. Rubble is a MAGAt. Ryder is a spoiled trust fund baby from old money.

Zuma (they/them) and Rocky are pretty chill tho. I’d hang with them. Marshall is alright but man he can get annoying. And don’t get me started on Skye, her head is always in the clouds. Ryder has his own reasons for keeping her around, as billionaires often do.

Reminds me of when I was getting pissed off that, on my work computer, Windows would randomly close Teams Windows and browser tabs, exactly every 59 seconds.

Till I found out that the windows version of caffeine hits the F15 key every 59 seconds by default. I had previously set up PowerToys to map an “extra” key on my keyboard to do Ctrl+W. That “extra” key actually turned out to be F15.

Considering most Americans couldn’t even afford to buy a one-way ticket to France with cash-on-hand, the costs and logistics of actually moving to another country are a moot point. Not to mention the additional costs of securing residency and eventually citizenship.

Most Americans can’t even bear the thought of moving a couple states away for fear of losing all of their social safety nets in existing friends/family.

I guess it’s different if you’re a childless, perpetually single loner tho.

How? I said hysterectomy is named from the disease hysteria. You linked etymologies saying hysteria is from early 19th century and hysterectomy is from late 19th century. That seems to be the same order I said.

Maybe you’re wired different. I skimmed the whole thing twice, specifically looking for the directions section, knowing how it should look. I missed it the first time…I thought the joke was that there weren’t any directions, or they were hidden on a page 2.

Maybe my ADHD mind?

I definitely get what OP is saying tho. Having an unknown and changing number of warnings, before the directions, in the same typeface as the directions, could make it more dangerous.

Ideally there would be a color-coded label system for different types/severities of warnings, and the direction clearly printed above/near the top. Having all the warnings first didn’t make me read them, just the bolded parts, looking for the directions. Directions are the most looked-for thing, they should be in an obvious place.

This is like the drug companies following supermarket logic, putting the milk in the back corner of the store hoping you impulse a bunch of stuff on the way. But instead tricking the customer into learning something, the customer says “all this science shit is boring and scary sounding” and they go get the raw milk from the farm stand because that doesn’t “need” warnings.

That’s only 850m shy of the summit tho. How many people make it to 8km and can’t make the last ~10%?

That’s where the word “Hysterectomy” came from.

Even though the word comes from the old Greek root “hyster” for womb, we don’t call the organ itself by that name, we use “uterus” (from Latin). The name origins from being the primary treatment for hysteria.

Hysteria, itself, was an official diagnosis until 1980, and while there are medically valid reasons for a hysterectomy, the term itself is rooted in misogyny, and some people want to rename the procedure as a result.

Yes…she can yell and scream at them and tell the doctors that she’s sane and you’re lying to control her, that you’re abusive, that you time-traveled back from a post-apocolyptic future to prevent the machines from starting a nuclear war, etc.

But that just proves that she’s clearly unhinged and in need of serious therapy like a lobotomy or heavy medication.

This is part of what made America “great”, in the conservative viewpoint. Dissenters could be easily managed.

And it’s starting to seem that we are headed back into that direction. Women get autonomy over reproductive health taken back. For the people of color, we’ll bring back Jim Crow. LGBTQ rights are fairly new, those should be able to get clawed back easily.

The rest are all brainwashed into agreement, imprisoned over weed possession or debt, or trapped in a metaphorical prison where they are the only sane people surrounded by idiots.

Then just throw what’s left of the voting rights act into the bin and redistrict to ensure perpetual conservative victory. We’ll get back there eventually, at this rate.

Its all fucking stupid. Kids were memed into voting for a felon for president because the kids were stupid.

The kids were stupid because the schools are underfunded and the parents are overworked trying to keep a roof over their heads. All as a result of Republican policy (but they’d never tell you that).

Millennials at least had parents that were doing decent on 1-2 full-time jobs. Those who had all their parents working were latchkey kids before the social-media era.

So now, we have a generation of kids, who are now adults, who got a shit education and no critical reasoning skills at all. They were raised by screens and babysat by Zuckerberg.

Now they are idolizing the absolute worst people on the world. Between the constant dopamine drip from short-form videos and social media, the shit education (and the online finishing school thanks to COVID), and being raised by gen X and the early millennials…who are somewhat naive to how much the world has actually changed since their childhoods while also being pissed off about being fucked by boomers.

What’s really scary is how the fuck we recover from that. It’s basically brainwashing on a generational level. An entire generation largely made up of thoughtless drones that puppet whatever they read from the biggest/wealthiest pop-star and/or chauvinist cumstains on the internet.

And now, basically all of the legacy media (even the local news) is owned by the same clique of shitty billionaires, riding on Trump’s cock hoping to feel Putin’s thrusts.

We are beyond fucked, my friend.

2020 was barely a primary tho. Between COVID being a brand new thing and half the candidates throwing in the towel on Super Tuesday, it shouldn’t count.

Back in my day, if you got sick of your wife you could just drop her off at the asylum and tell them she is “hysterical” and they’d take it from there.

Ooh this makes me want to do like a fantasy immigration draft round of outspoken American celebrity Trump critics.

Who gets Jimmy Fallon?

My HS History teacher was exactly like that and I had a dream with him in it the other night. Really weird timing since I hadn’t been in highschool for over 20 years. Also he died a couple years ago.

Yeah but it gets to be somewhat taxing after the 30th or so felony. But nobody has to see your tax records so that’s fine.

Man could you just imagine what could happen if someone walking by just happened to flick a lit cigarette or 20 into that pile?
