really a lot of the "how should Democrats campaign" discourse is just about what level of imaginary influence you give yourself - if you're pretending you magically control every potential voter, you get totally different results than if your wizard powers only control the party and candidates

Nepal has 16 categories of taxpayer awards. Shoutout to Nepal Telecommunications Authority for paying the most taxes in the public institutions category 🫡

We should update our labeling laws to require manufacturers to use the amount a consumer could reasonably extract. Maybe manufacturers would shift to more efficient packaging, or maybe consumers would accept higher unit cost for more convenience. The important thing is aligning incentives.
my shader export compression is mightily broken and the effect is eerily reminiscent of trying to make out details in a night sky obscured by light pollution, except the sky now has intermittent complex transforms darting across its surface
Also if you're trying to establish norms against rape it would be wise to just not let people in positions of power have sex with prisoners even if they seemingly agree to it.
I'm a fan of a fanfic series archiveofourown.org/series/2664565 but I feel the lead tolerates too much extrajudicial violence. You're the queen and you're trying to establish norms you won't stick around to enforce. Hold a trial. Stop treating your husband torturing bad guys as a lovable foible.
to people pointing out that playgrounds still exist today: the screenshot here is a still of a video full of other stuff like school christmas plays, decorated snowman-themed string cheese, sledding, etc, that also still exists today.

[update] Investigating: AO3 is now fully down. After performing a software upgrade a few days ago, we've been unable to keep our server cluster healthy due to what we believe is a bug or issue with the new release of our database server software.

I was a mock trial kid not a debate club kid, so I wouldn't know all the details.
I think it's good to have arguing sports, because they teach social skills. Other social skill teaching contexts in schools are often like "here's how you freaks can learn to copy adequate humans".
In a sport, *everyone* needs to get better, and there's something to strive for beyond "adequate".
Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
When someone uses my clean hands towel as a dirty feet towel, or serves me food with unexpected live insects, that provokes both disgust and anger.

Here’s what happened: I ignored an old beggar woman and she turned out to be a mighty enchantress
Her spell forces me to always talk like I’m on LinkedIn
Here are my main takeaways about being hexed:
i came here to suggest salted peanut butter but was ninja'd by two people suggesting salted regular butter
My GF says a galaxy is too small actually.
"This would require a lookup table the size of a galaxy, so visualizing it as a man in a normal room with a normal-sized collection of books promotes misleading intuitions" is a valid response to a thought experiment, I think.
what if I say I want to protect children by requiring cars to provide a good view of someone 3' tall in front of the vehicle, or by putting air purifiers in schools, or such. i am not sure these provide rights, agency, or control, but it seems like they could reasonably be called protecting children
season it and bake it on a tray with veggies? make seasoned tater tots, then serve with raw tofu (the same way you might serve with a side of scrambled egg or such)? put in sandwich on good bread (if you don't have celiac like me 😢) with mayo and pickles and such like a banh mi?
make instant noodles and then throw in chopped tofu + sesame oil at the end?

The idea is that watching an outdated neural network flail to create cards is funny, not that these are a good and balanced set of cards to play with.
That is evil genius right there
