Is this the one you use to feed the house from a generator? If so, I think that’s the one time it’s valid

Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. It’s absolutely not obvious though.

Uh, I posted her original tweet, literally first hand information.
You can argue that it’s a joke, but when you literally go online and say “Please rate my feet higher”, you can’t be surprised when people take you at face value and do the thing you specifically asked for.
When you make a post in a public space, you can’t expect everyone to know your lore. For example, my wife is a brown immigrant and I’ll make racist jokes to her about her ethnicity, which she laughs at because she knows I’m not racist and I’m punching at racism itself, not her race. But if I post those same jokes in public, people will assume I’m racist because they don’t have the context my wife does.
If she made the joke in the middle of a stream with context, you’d have a point. But she didn’t, she made a standalone tweet, and even said “Please”. That reads as pretty unambiguous consent.

Eh, not sure “obvious joke” describes it.
- Comment on Low rating 1 day ago:
The commenter said she posted that she wanted her score on the foot rating site to be higher, which seems like pretty clear consent to objectify her feet.

My sentiment exactly. Every Christmas I get more junk I don’t need, or stuff that I do need, but would have rather researched myself. I hate having a bunch of random knick-knacks and novelty items cluttering up my house, but I also feel guilty getting rid of gifts.
Don’t buy me gifts, don’t bring me souvenirs, I don’t need more novelty t-shirts.

The dual is kinda the exact opposite, by definition. From an orthogonal perspective, cube is the wrongest possible word.

They’re good for big groups and certain locations.
My wife has a big online friend group that likes to get together a couple times a year in various places around the US. For 15ish people, AirBnB is cheaper than hotels and lets everyone stay together in one place with room to congregate and cook real meals. It’s also easier to find cabins and stuff in remote nature areas than hotels.
We’re also planning a weeklong trip to NYC, and even with rewards points AirBnB was cheaper than a hotel.
Outside those specific circumstances, if it’s just us and we’re only spending a night or two in a less expensive location, hotels are basically always better
- Comment on When do we riot? 1 week ago:
The second paragraph answers the first. We wait until we’re coordinated.
If you want to speed up the process, get out there and coordinate. You might be ready, the people here might be ready, but a few thousand geographically isolated people on a left-leaning niche forum aren’t gonna do it. Getting out into the community and getting active, that could actually shift sentiment.
Find a local organization with at least a hundred members. Even if you don’t align 100% with the DSA, join and go to meetings. That’s where you’re going to find people to coordinate with. Network with people, find out who has which skills, and volunteer your own. Participate in mutual aid. Canvas for leftist politicians. Even if you only care about revolution, going to these events and interacting with these causes will bring you in contact with the people who will coordinate with you.

I have a truck. I know at least two other people with trucks. Once the pizza is offered, and maybe some beers if it’s a big job, we’re there. It’s the truck code.

I was a vegetarian/vegan for a few years, and the specificity of my cravings increased dramatically. I wasn’t ever just “hungry”, I had specific cravings for specific foods.

Unpopular opinion: I want as little information as possible before watching a movie. At the other end of the spectrum, we have trailers which basically spoil the whole film. The only information I want about a movie is whether it’s interesting, which I will get from audience sentiment online, and the only information I really need is the title.
Any additional information is either irrelevant to the movie experience, or a spoiler. Yeah I’m a weird little freak, and I like low-information posters. It’s better than posters which give away too much
- Comment on Chaos 2 weeks ago:
Chaos is the base, undifferentiated reality. Order, and consequently disorder, is a subjective human concept.
Entropy is described as disorder because people there layperson doesn’t know what entropy is, and disorder is equated with disorder because they don’t know what chaos is. Language is inconsistent.
- Comment on It's their rear end clearance 2 weeks ago:
I can understand the leggings, what gets me is the short shorts and miniskirts. Not that I mind, but the idea of my bare ass touching pubic seats is just so bizarre to me.
- Comment on Chaos 2 weeks ago:
The notion is that entropy increases. That is, the amount of energy you can extract to do work decreases. You need differentials to do work, for example a water wheel works because water at elevation has potential energy which you can use to turn the wheel as it flows downhill to a lower potential energy. When everything is evenly distributed, you can’t extract any more energy to do work.

I think one of the straight-man muppets works better as Polyphemus. Fozzy works better as one of the other cyclopes asking who hurt him.
- Comment on Literally nobody 2 weeks ago:
Considering that the majority of vocal Christians vote Republican, Jesus being very explicitly leftist presents an opportunity to nudge them left. It certainly won’t convince all of them, but there are those who actually value their prophet more than their politicians.
Anyone who cares about diminishing the Republican stranglehold on America should care that Jesus was a leftist, even if they didn’t personally care about Jesus.

But then she would have to tell Polyphemus that she’s “Nobody”, which I don’t think her ego could allow.

- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 2 weeks ago:
And, ideally, we’d have an active and informed constituency that keeps their representatives honest.
Ideally, yeah. But the mandatory town hall thing seems a bit easier to actually achieve. Have you met the constituency?
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 2 weeks ago:
Those that aren’t should be voted out by their constituents. If the constituents keep voting them in, they’re openly saying that’s the representation they want.
Seems like it should be a mandatory part of the job. Senators should have scheduled town halls in every district in their state, Representatives should have scheduled town halls in every municipality in their district, every year.
