That’s cause it’s been color corrected to remove the harsh lighting.

How your brain looked at the bright ass room and decided to look at the dress like it was dimly lit still makes no sense to me, but this is why people called those seeing white and gold as crazy.

What are you talking about? There was just a bunch of empty land that was ours by divine right. The people who lived there shouldn’t’ve gotten in our way about it /s

I am so glad that I got fully functional paralysis during sleep. I drink a lot of water and it would be a problem. Not all my siblings are so lucky.

Whatever term you come up with, conservative think tanks will immediately poison. Trying to twist yourself in knots to find the perfect way to express the idea is just failing to understand that the issue is that those who benefit from these systems at the highest levels have every incentive to keep things as they are. They can and will use their captive audience to fuck with any explanation you try to give that’s contrary to the system as it exists today. The only concessions they will give will only be to get enough people to pack it in since “we won”. And those will only be temporary.

Yes, the term intersectionality was invented here in the states. Conservatives have already poisoned the term and made it into “the oppression Olympics”, rather than what it actually is, a framing device to explain that life is different for a black man and a black woman or for a black woman with a disability.

Cause that’s the real problem here. US has a high-powered counter-propaganda movement called The Chicago Institute & Friends (Conservative Think Tanks). Any term you come up with to explain how our world is fucked up will be subsumed by conservative think tanks into the worst idea imaginable.

Open borders? You mean letting in criminals by the boatload, rather than a measured response to the harms of immigration quotas.

15 minute cities? You mean communist lockdowns, preventing the free movement of people and ideas. Instead of what it actually is, designing urban spaces to accommodate the people that live there instead of devoting every square foot to car dominance.

White privilege? You mean demonizing people for the color of their skin, exactly what MLK didn’t want to happen. Instead of what it actually is, a framing device to show white people that there is more going on in this country than just what directly impacts them.

The fact of the matter is that “the left” (big tent, from liberal to anarchist) doesn’t have a messaging problem, it’s that the opposition has a lot of funding and influence to drown out whatever point the left is attempting to make.

It’s still weird to me that this might be James Stephanie Sterling’s biggest cultural contribution. They spend all their time advocating for better games and better work conditions for those who make games, but nope, it’s Big Chungus that made the biggest impact.

“I’m sorry?! Do you want homeless vagabonds rummaging around MY neighborhood, snacking on the fruits of MY trees?! I THINK THE FUCK NOT! ONLY MALE TREES! ALLERGIES YES, VAGABONDS NO!!!”

Set to return fractions and those terms can’t be mutually reduced (only factors of 749 are 7 and 107, no match in 120). User error, if anything.

I just realized that the knowledge I have from newspapers from my youth no longer applies. They no longer put the most pertinent info near the top, but at the bottom. Burying the lede is just the default nowadays.

The governor pardoned him almost immediately after the jury came back.

If you start with a fresh deck and perform 8 perfect dovetail shuffles, you’ll have shuffled the deck back into the exact same arrangement it started in.

Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s not valid ID for the purposed “prove you’re a citizen” bill, so it’s mostly irrelevant to this discussion. It doesn’t even prove citizenship.

SSN isn’t proof of anything except eligibility for Social Security benefits. Yes, the system is abused to cover for the lack of a national ID, but it isn’t an ID.

Oof, ouch, my bones!

Why’s my handjob?

The issue isn’t with your body or with a moral failing… on your part. We make food as cheaply and as addictive as possible. We don’t need to give Ozempic to children, we need to hold food producers accountable for the shit they sling.

Yes. You think the average scientist wants to be wasting their time creating catch-all experiments in order to get published so they can secure more grants? Of course not, they want to follow their curiosity to answer big questions or fail to get the answers but answer other questions. This model wastes everyone’s time for extremely small gains. But it’s all about stakeholder’s investments.

If it weren’t for pre-shitty OKCupid I’d probably not be married rn

Lol, same. It’s a damn shame they went the route of evil. I was just reminiscing recently with my spouse about the quizzes on there.
