They're not disenfranchised; they can still vote.

We also use ball peening in hand tool woodworking for visible joints with small gaps -- you can "gently" peen the end grain to smash the fibers a bit and make the gaps disappear. "Gently" as in it would break your finger, but it doesn't take a full swing, just some hard taps.

D-dot I did not know you were trapped inside a stuffed cow. Are you okay in there? Do you need help?

Showing Up to Excuse Racial Prejudice

This is both interesting and saddening; I really hoped things would work out for her. I watched her videos even before Leave Britney Alone, she was so funny but clearly extremely troubled.

Hard

GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS AND WRONG SO WRONG AND SO GROSS

I had their cookbook, tried about a third of the recipes, and donated it to a used bookstore. There are really good options now, in addition to Asian and African cuisines being much, much more accessible than they used to be.

Sure, I can concede that she's not saying that with specificity -- but only because she's not taking her premise to its logical conclusion in any applicable context. Her reactionary primitivism would cause mass death, and people tell her so, but that's just negative thinking or whatever.

The model has really shifted in the past 20 years; a lot of PhD candidates are just there for the nearly free labor, and they eventually pass because the program can't take the reputational hit of too many ABDs, which discourage applicants to the free labor pool. Rough for actual scholars.

Doesn't she say "almost everything else?" MRIs aside, like, I'm pretty sure she'd be comfortable classifying washing machines, the single appliance most responsible for the liberation of women in most of the world, as a categorical evil because they are the product of global supply chains, no?

I thought this thread was about Rubio and the younger Bushes thinking "Chang" was a mystical Chinese conservative warrior, not literally Chiang Kai-shek, and senior Bush's references to him were a joke mocking Birchers.

The little chirps!!

As a universal rule

everything that you want for Palestinian people, I want that for you

God I hate it when people talk at me.

I like that I can buy things any time now instead of waiting to see what I could get on sale from damaged returns after Christmas.

100...1000... This is a subversive way to eventually arrive at adopting the metric system, isn't it

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Man it really feels insane watching the global order break down in front of me. like is my anxiety disorder especially bad today, or am I aware of how supply chains work and able to read the news

theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are

My boyfriend says Crescent board, which comes in hot or cold press. Or Arches, maybe. They for sure have black Crescent. Might have black Arches.

The Ayo Atelier

Oh I get it, you lift so you can stay ready to deliver a slap like the one in Waiting to Exhale.

I can't believe I'm excited for this. Like. Pathological, probably, right?

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

I get cannabinoid hyperemesis that puts me in the ER for dehydration, resolved with saline, if I smoke too much. The doctors are always like, "yeah, smoke less."

You don't have to accept service, but in many jurisdictions, service is not effected without "touch." Zuck isn't throwing it on the ground, the process server is just making sure the papers touch him. There are many examples of process servers throwing the papers at someone to effect service.

You'll never catch me, coppers

Ha ha this is how I eat bananas -- peel the whole thing and then split the thirds down the length with my thumb to eat one at a time. It's fun!

I wonder if this is part of the mental health breakdown of rich/powerful people -- no one saying "who the fuck asked" when they say whatever they're thinking. Being told to fuck off -- and fucking off because you should -- is important, and they lose that socially cohesive pushback.
