I’m pleased that she’s experiencing the fallout from all this, but whatever logic she used to calculate that political risk is baffling.

Four John Wick movies have grossed over a billion dollars on the conceit that harming a dog is a legitimate emotional catalyst for someone to kill 450 people.

I think I can speak for everyone that this would be the ideal arrangement.

You’re fun.

I wish I would have thought of it first this time 😔

Christie electric chair drops Ramaswamy, transitions to a leg-trap camel clutch: ‘Biggest jabroni in America’

Our friends and family can listen and respond to questions, practice empathy, humanize the other side of the debate, tell personal stories that are likely to intersect with our own lives, and see us as individuals with nuanced views and value outside of our political opinions.

How many people is this this the case for? My experience and the experience of my friend group might be anomalous, but empathy, humanity, and nuance are not present in my family when it comes to political conversations.

Decent quality automatic cat feeders.

We have 3 cats, and I resisted getting autofeeders for 5 years because it felt silly to buy what amounts to three $75 food bowls.

They paid for themselves the first weekend I didn’t have 3 razor sharp dickheads screaming at me to feed them at 5:15 AM. I should have bought them years ago.

I don’t think the various stakeholders will allow it to happen in any significant way (see the article), but I’ve been hoping for an office rent crunch for a while.

I’ve always wanted a dedicated home theater that’s just big enough for me and maybe 1 or 2 others. Upsizing my current living situation isn’t feasible, but I could make a wee little 150 or 200 sq. ft. office space work!

I’m a shamanic practitioner irl and this guy’s nickname pisses me off. The guy pisses me off, too. His ancestors think he’s a cunt, I bet.

I wonder how much difference one Stinger SAM would have made at Blair Mountain in 1921.

This is an urban legend and shame on OP for perpetuating it. The only verifiable instances of open source operating systems found in Halloween candy were installed by the children’s parents themselves.

Bureaucracy is one of those things that people like to bash, but don’t really spend much time considering what it is or what it’s meant for.

“Bureaucracy is when stupid form” is a superficial understanding of an organizational structure intended to:

• mirror the dominant governing structure, so everyone has a shared frame of reference for how decisions get made
• help keep authority is tied to a position/role rather than to an individual to reduce instances of nepotism and favoritism
• standardize oversight structures so there’s a clear accountability chain
• champion expertise so there are people who comprehend important peripheral aspects of a discipline/profession/industry that can cause compounding downstream issues

There are certainly poorly run, poorly organized, and intentionally misused bureaucracies. And we all have nightmare stories of getting bound up in procedural hell. But organizational alternatives for large, complex organizations usually end up being less efficient and more convoluted while also being less effective.

My mom got me this “protection” charm from a woo-ass lady at a farmer’s market once. It was cool looking, so I wore it on a tight necklace that couldn’t slip over my head, and I never took it off.

A couple years later, I was in a nasty rollover car accident that could easily have killed me. I walked away only mildly banged up. I realized later that day that the necklace was gone. I scoured the car and even went to the crash site looking for it. Never saw the thing again.

Paths of Glory is 10/10 stuff. So good.

I didn’t see your Timecrimes rec before posting mine. It’s so well done & I want everyone to see it!

I’m not usually into anime, but Perfect Blue captivated me from the start. Its whole vibe was so engrossing.

I’ll check out some other Satoshi Kon titles. PB is all I’ve seen so far. Any specific recommendations?

Sci-Fi

Timecrimes

The McPherson Tape

The Dead Zone (not that lesser known, but old enough that maybe it’s getting that way)

Animation

A Town Called Panic

Perfect Blue

Comedy

It’s a Disaster

One, Two, Three (might be better known than I think, since it’s a Billy Wilder movie)

Coherence is fantastic!

Real life, sure enough, white trash dude here. Can confirm lol. I’m related to several!

No one in my realm would do what Boebert did, though. Attend a play? Be real.

Well, we’re a few thousand miles apart, so the pancakes bit might not be feasible lol. On any fun discord servers?
