So it’s sketchy because of other organizations that don’t function like it or are shaped like it?
Got it. Some paranoia can be good, but don’t let it destroy you. Keep an eye out, but also trust is a two-way street.

The senate serves the same function as the house of lords in the uk. The problem, though, is that we don’t have lords, so why the hell do we need a chamber to make sure their voice is heard? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a second, equally democratic chamber instead of the “states must be represented, even though that doesn’t actually have any meaning any more since the people just elect them too, now” chamber?
Abolishing police is just good politics. No one needs gun toting fascists running around murdering folks for no reason.

DNC isn’t being splintered. DSA is specifically running candidates in primaries, not generals.

LNT is wrong
We know it’s wrong
We don’t know how to get to a different model
Let’s do nothing
Like, to clarify, this is your argument, yeah? Wouldn’t “the highest levels we know don’t cause excess deaths” be a better standard? You could claim that that isn’t particularly rigorous, but neither is LNT. And it allows more movement than “We must spend every penny we can on radiation mitigation, regardless of harm reduction”

Why? Making a prime minister seems like a pretty reasonable position. The fact that we elect a defacto king every four years is the weird thing.

He’s off-topic, spewing borderline nonsense, and being needlessly aggressive doing so. I think the downvotes warranted

The dice tray, table, and carpet collapse under the dice, which are somehow now a single die
The room tilts under your feet as the die becomes “down”
You text your love ones, but get no response
The light coming from outside becomes brighter and brighter as more light is entering the room than can leave
Time slows as you begin to stretch towards the die, but can never seem to reach it
The house finally gives way, shrapnel and structure falling into the die
The night sky is blinding, more and more light getting stuck
You’re floating now, like you always will be, stretching closer and closer to the die
Your last thought is smeared across the rest of the history long after the last star goes out How the hell did that happen?

The one you grew up with tends to be your preference. But the usual reason I give for MM-DD-YYYY is it matches how it’s said.

I also know there’s no point in arguing about this because, again, my first sentence. It’s just team sports stuff, as usual. The only reason why you would bother to argue is if you were trying to convince people to use a standard. But as you pointed out, ISO 8601 already exists. That is the agreed upon standard already. But no one uses it, since we have our preferred systems of date format already ingrained.

The difference is power structures and cultural incentives. Fuckboys tend to not react pleasantly to being turned down. I get more “himbo” (keeping the male parallel theme going) vibes from Violet. She’s down to clown, isn’t afraid to let that be known, but nothing screams that anything nonconsensual is happening here.
People fuck, who cares? She doesn’t appear to be hurting anyone. Her posts are funny, it doesn’t need to be deep.

Interesting city choice. It, uh, might be noticed but I don’t think “stand out” is the right vibe.
New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, LA? Definitely. San Francisco? Soft maybe
- Comment on AI girlfriends VS Egirls 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but I think the soulless corp hoovering up the profits with faceless entities is more to blame here than the actual human giving their time to others.
The latter scenario is just someone trying to survive in this fucked up world. The former is the ones who did the fucking doing even more to fuck the world.

Bud, I love Japan. You know they’re the only axis power that still openly celebrates their WWII generals, yeah? It’s racism, Japan is a racist country. Like, definitionally.
This is like going to Jim Crow America, seeing a “Whites Only” water fountain sign and arguing that we need more context to know if it’s racist. You don’t, it is.

Yeah, man. The people surviving the horrors are definitely fully to blame for their survival choices related to said horrors, and not the fuckers responsible for said horrors. You got a good eye on you. You’re middle management material if I’ve ever seen it

You think I don’t think this shit is demeaning as fuck? Rather than pay, what, $100 bucks a day on a LP employee, they installed doors and forced their remaining employees to deal with the irate customers who are pissed about being forced to ask permission to buy a $4 deodorant.
It’s not about theft, it’s about forcing 1 or 2% more out of a balance sheet. They don’t give a fuck that their service is less usable. We’re just the vessels for their profits.
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 2 weeks ago:
Dude, no one comes. They used the door to replace a person, do you think they have the staff to man the doors they just installed?
People don’t shop for those items from those places unless they absolutely have to. I’m of the same opinion as OP, and I’m pretty sure it’s the majority opinion.
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 2 weeks ago:
No. LP can be done with people. It’s more effective (less shoplifting) and loses less sales. But, of course, hiring labor to do something that a door can do is something that bean counters hate more than anything. They’d rather stab their own eye out then have to hire labor. So everything becomes shittier cause every store needs to show 2% growth this year and every year into perpetuity, meaning a store that used to employee 4 people at a time needs to be able to function with only 3 people this year or it gets closed.

Yes, but also as a programmer, sufficiently complex code bases might as well be magical with all of the interactions between edge cases causing some fucky behavior.
