Irremarkable

Or is ICE just another word for the SS?

Always has been

Yknow here’s the thing.

I distinctly remember telling myself “don’t type Dutch” because I always say one when I mean the other.

God I love how Dutch is essentially just how I talk after I’ve had a pint too many. If I can ever get a hand on German, Dutch is the next language on my list.

Hell, I can spend like $3 more and get an 8oz sirloin and 2 sides (at least twice the food) from Texas Roadhouse instead of a bigmac meal at McDonald’s. The only time I’d even consider going there at this point is when they’re the only place open, and frankly I’d rather go to White Castle or Jack in the Box at that point.

Time will tell. What they’ve been saying is mostly good, but words are one thing, actions are another. All we can do is hope.

My personal tinfoil hat theory (not that tinfoil hat tbh) for why refuse to admit they fucked up and put a photo of a completely different guy out is that they have nothing.

Which, granted, can’t even blame them. Your suspect is a white guy that’s probably on the younger side that checks notes owns a hoodie and a backpack, a description that probably fits hundreds of thousands in NYC. I’m assuming a guy that went through the trouble of putting words on the casings probably also went through the trouble of removing any potential fingerprints/dna. The fuck do you do with that? Add in the public’s seeming unwillingness to snitch even if they did know something…

Y’know to an extent I get the whole “but he was a father and husband!” angle

But how many thousands of parents and children died so this man could get another yacht? How many of them died slow, painful deaths from awful illnesses that could have been cured or prevented while he didn’t? He, along with all his executive friends, was a mass murdering psychopath. There is zero moral difference between committing murder with a gun and committing murder with the stroke of a pen.

So the interesting difference is in MO it’s a constitutional amendment. Same way weed was legalized.

That is not to say they won’t do everything in their power to circumvent it (they will. The MO state government may be one of the most authoritarian and least representative in the country), but there’s a lot more roadblocks in the way in MO than KS.

I am honestly shocked that something like this hadn’t happened much sooner

To be entirely fair that’s a ridiculously low bar to clear considering they hate children.

It’s not just me! The specific night that caused it for me I didn’t even drink any. I woke up with the worst hangover of my life to my friend throwing up the full bottle of malibu she had the night before. That smell is permanently ingrained in my brain.

The hand sanitizer my workplace ordered during covid was coconut scented. Made my stomach turn every time I walked by someone that used it.

They’re goofy but in a cute cartoony way. I love them.

It’s togglable

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country

Yeah I’d imagine Steam is going to be the smallest share of sales for this game by a fairly large margin.

Frankly it is. It’s a shame you’ve deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There’s a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that’s the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of “a fair way” and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it’s not even funny.

For him the “fair way” for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin’s boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the “fair way” for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.
