My robot vac likes to imagine that there are ghost dimensions behind my couch instead of walls. Maybe it was right and teleported?

The flyer is satirical. The candidate himself is real, a fascist CEO who won the Republican primary for NY district 21. It’s meant to mock the candidate. It is not actually supporting circumcision.

Are people under the impression that the US revolution and independence was specifically about not paying taxes? That’s some libertarian shit right there.

If you came away from that movie thinking Bender is cool, you need to rewatch it. He’s an angry violent kid acting out due to his dad’s abuse, and he’s inheriting his dad’s substance abuse issues too. You might think he’s “cool” because of his disaffected attitude towards the school’s authority figures, but he’s likewise disaffected about friends and family. He’s lonely, nihilistic, troubled kid acting out and headed down a bad path. That’s hardly “cool” and has a lot of similarities to Twitter/X’s perceived user based these days.

Went to Chipotle a few years back (I dont really care for it, pretty bland) and this is the same sort of disparity between mine (left) and hers (right). Also I’m considerably more left thank she is, for what that is worth.

Warning, don’t plant bamboo underneath the restrained torsos of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, O’Leary, etc. as they grow so quickly with hard rigid points that they can break through a human torso in 3 days.

A 10 percent discount and a 10 percent fee can be calculated in either order but they don’t cancel out.
Example, 90% of (110% of 10) = 110% of (90% of 10). But neither of those is evaluates to 10. It evaluates to 9.9.
For any percentage X, and and base value C,(100 - X)% x ((100 + X)% x C) = (100 + X)% x ((100 - X)% x C) = (100 - (X^2/100))% x C

So…
A) Those are not the tallest buildings in the world. Only One World Trade Center is even in the top 10 (7th, specifically).
B) The Empire State Building is not 1464 ft, but 1250 ft. And it’s not taller than Willis (Sears) Tower which is 1450ft.
C) There are 3 buildings in the world taller than the reflection pool is long.
D) It’s a stupid thing to boast on the length of a pool, period, let alone one you didn’t build, let alone by comparing it to the heights of skyscrapers. You can dig a pool as arbitrarily long as you wish with little to no extra trouble with making it longer besides maintenance logistics. Skyscrapers of such height are engineering marvels.
E) You illegally paid another grifter buddy to half-ass the job that shouldn’t have been done in the first place for an absurd amount of tax dollars, got rightfully criticised about the entire thing, and it almost immediately fell apart before our eyes the moment you called it a success. And now you are arresting people for defacement for even touching your

Computer science is not a soft science. Soft sciences are qualitative studies, often on human behavior, like psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc. Computer science is generally considered a hard science. I mean I don’t apply my degree in any sort of hard scientific manner. I went for engineering instead. But actual computer science is a formal science.

I’m pretty bitter about both in my case.
I took AP calculus, biology, and physics in high school and got full credit for each. Went to Purdue and already had my science req covered and got to enter straight into calc II, (I also took discrete math later which will be relevant).
Long story short, 2 years and money problems later, I dropped out and worked for 8 years. When I finally went back to school, I went to Ivy Tech and basically had to restart from scratch. Literally the only credit they honored from Purdue was my Abnormal Psych elective course. And they also honored my Calc AP. So I had to retake Calc II, and Physics I and II. Also discrete math for no apparent reason as nothing was different about it. They didn’t honor the calc II course because their calc I was more like Calc 1.5, and calc II was more like Calc 2.5. So basically my AP calc and calc II together only covered their calc I class. They didn’t honor the Physics AP credits because it wasnt calc-based even though after taking it, that only led to a meaningful difference for like one chapter.
So, I didnt really mind taking the courses again from an academic sense. It was nice to have a refresher for calc II before taking calc III later. And I love Physics in general. But they didn’t offer physics on my local campus on the semester I needed it because I started in the spring but it was also a prerequisite for all of my higher level core courses. If I waited to take them on that campus, it would push back my graduation by a year. So, I had to sign up for them at another campus that was 70(!!!) miles away. For two semesters straight, I had to drive my happy ass 90 minutes to class, for 2 hours of lecture and 3 hours of labs, back to back, and then drive the 90 minutes back home again. Twice a week. 16 hours of commute, lecture and lab a week for a course that was ultimately almost identical to what I had already studied, and ultimately had zero bearing on my actual degree.
What makes it worse? After finishing my Associates at Ivy Tech, I went to Norther Kentucky University to complete my Bachelor’s. And they honored almost everything. All my AP classes. Almost all my Purdue Credits. And almost all my Ivy Tech Credits. So, I had retaken Calc II and Physics I and II for no damn reason in the end. I did enter NKU with my math minor almost complete at least though. I only had to take 3 more math classes for it, 2 of which were already required for my Core CS classes anyway.
But the one class they didn’t honor? From either Purdue or Ivy Tech? Discrete Math. No idea why. I took that shit for a third goddamn time, and it was the same damn shit as before. sigh. Y’all wanna talk about the Seven Bridges of Königsberg?

In much of her history, she’s also quite young. Young enough to live in an orphanage in the golden age before getting foster/adoptive parents. Sometimes she’s an adult in the 20-24ish range. But it seems like every time the canon gets reset for her she’s canonically 16 again. And as such she’s almost always dressed pretty reasonably by Superheroine standards.
She almost always wears a skirt and briefs, of not shorts, tights, pants or full legged unitard. Don’t know that she has ever been depicted as particularly busty.
In fact, it is a running gag that her Earth 2 counterpart, Powergirl, is famously quite busty and confident his her body (boob window and all), particularly in comparison to Supergirl.

“Yep.”
