I'm confused where you are supposed to find the cavalry officers

as in we still use a spiritual descendant of that spreadsheet and it's a core product

the CEO of my employer basically built his entire career off of one spreadsheet he put together in the 80s

okay actually the idea that you are going to stun people with your stainless steel and plastic kitchen appliance is more ridiculous

IT MELTS SLOWER THAN REGULAR ICE, RIVER

I don't think 6 is appropriate for girls until they're older because of the Jabba stuff

the only convenient seating for us used this "D-move" thing which is vibrating/tilting seats which is kind of garbage but worked pretty well for this specific movie.

oddly, before the movie 3yo kept calling it "the super mario kart movie" despite my repeated warnings there might not be any karts in it. when the bikes showed up she gave me a smug I told you so.

the movie was, objectively, not a good movie. 6yo claimed not to like it after the fact but was obviously enjoying it during. 3yo repeatedly complained it was "too scary" (and yet she's seen TESB a dozen times and has no problem with it) and had to sit on my lap but was rapt and said she liked it.

you could probably do it with AI

if they didn't want you to file taxes on october 15th they wouldn't give you an automatic extension

this is a britishism, right? gotta be

I don't think this is quite right because the sort of person who has this problem *will* criticize their side just in the "the problem is we aren't ruthless enough to match the other team" style.

I haven't

new form of shrimp welfare just dropped

"siphoning" money from a business to investors, like that is an improper use of it

we have not seen the first movie

we saw the preview for this before PHM and decided the girls would love it

it's not like book 1 is that long...

Neither left-of-center nor a pundit, but note also that a large majority of users on this site would prefer I not tweet here. This is also true (if to a lesser degree) for many of those pundits.

Have you been visiting the same store or different stores? Walmarts have always had a lot of variation on that dimension based on location - the ones I've been to don't feel like they've changed a lot.

"I think they're exactly the same as the person I have in my head who peaked in 8th grade, just transposed into a universe where somehow they are amongst the richest and most powerful people in the world, like a Star Trek transporter accident"

6yo and 3yo have had a blast watching Zelda, they don't care that the graphics are "bad"

but, traitor was definitely one of my favorites (not really for ganner), which is not the same thing as saying it was good.

~all star wars fiction gets into trouble when it tries to do a deep dive into light side dark side stuff because it's going to conflict with the rest of the EU which can never really be consistent on the question. especially if you are trying to do "actually there's gray" stuff.

I'm uninterested in white knighting Wanye in any general sense. It's not important and he doesn't need me to do it anyway. I'm sticking up specifically for the argument screencapped because I agree with it as correctly interpreted.

Progressives just spent the better part of a decade trying to impose the view that, for example, any policy position or institutional behavior that produces racially disparate outcomes is per se racist. Literally that exact view. Which shows again how the circle of morality can always be narrowed!

Third, in the past which ideas liberals excluded differed somewhat. Back during the early Obama years, for example, there was FAR stronger moralizing around econ/spending views, and far more attribution of "your position on health care would kill X,000 people so you are basically a murderer".

There are a few things going on here.

First, yes, liberals find certain conservative ideas more out-of-bounds than others.

Second, variations on the ideas you did call out are still widely held views. What it means is that your friend circle is willing to tolerate one slice of conservatives.

Sorry, but I don't accept the idea that this is fictitious. Every piece of evidence points the same direction: survey data, personal experience of myself and friends, reports of personal experience from others, people's self-professed beliefs and behavior, etc.
