Don’t you know? People forfeit their right to not be raped when they commit crimes, because that’s not cruel or unusual or anything.
Because they’re a part of the society you rely on and they are quite literally serving you. I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about people, regardless of whether others care about them
Both had awful parents and public struggles with addiction, but people just like looking down on “party girls”
Illiteracy is not binary. If he reads at a second grade level (sounding out, length of word and difficulty of spelling being barriers to correct reading)
If I were taking advantage of their services, I would tip them too. As I’m benefiting from a first-world plate carrier’s service, I’ll tip them. Participating in a society by only doing things that help others when you might suffer consequences (via poor service on a return visit) is poor manners at the very least.
I don’t think this conversation is going to be very productive (at least on my end), so I’ll cut it off here. Have a good one.
I haven’t lost anyone, maybe you’re just assuming.
That’s the point
You really don’t have to explain anything. “This suits me better” is a perfectly valid reason to change a name, if you do feel like you have to give a reason
It would be too long with all of the -ini and -eti suffixes. Capellinettinettinettine ad infinitum
Oh, lots of seeds as well.
In what world is farming not work?
You can modify it how you see fit, but it’s not street legal unless you fit emissions standards
Some fathered children during their deployments
That’s obviously comic-book villain levels of evil. How could you not realize that?
I love this. I’m currently visiting my family for the first time in several years, and it’s very relatable
We can also hear the difference between hot and cold water from the sound it makes while being poured into a cup
Unfortunately, we’re the only ones with true chins, but I still scratch my cat’s undermouth area and call it a chin.
Donald Trump is like Dr. Bronner’s evil twin
He writes insane things in all caps that are divisive, instead of hopeful. His products are overpriced, flimsy, and deceptive, instead of cost effective, long lasting, and simple (this isn’t an ad, this is probably not a comparison they’d invite, but I’m happy to reword this if it feels like too strong a recommendation). He takes the worst parts of religion and distorts them to suit his purposes, instead of using just the best parts of various religions and other writers to try and find a universal message.
Upright Jerker
Basically a reverse gallows with a horrible name
> The upright jerker was an execution method and device intermittently used in the United States during the 19th and early 20th century. Intended to replace hangings, the upright jerker did not see widespread use and was withdrawn from use by the 1930s.
Let’s hope
I like to react with this to my trumper dad’s foretelling of a communist future under Harris to the family chat, but you do you.
Any idea what happened to bee.ignoble.dev?
This is a spelling bee clone (or rather a fork, but the dev calls it a clone) that stopped updating a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything? It was my favorite version, so I’ll be sad if it’s gone forever.
The code for it is public (but I’m 0% tech-savvy and have no idea what to do with that), so it’s also possible that others have clones of it. If anyone knows of any (specifically of this one, not general spelling bee clones), that would also be much appreciated.
Edit: I went back through the archives and it’s probably vacation, lol. There’s a week or so missing from the last two summers as well. I am surprised that it’s not automated, and I’ll be supporting the developer as soon as possible, because that’s hella impressive.
I need help with ordering activities
Hi, I’m in a classic college crunch, even though I’m fucking 32 and getting my master’s. I have a paper due yesterday and no extension, but I’m hoping they don’t check the mailbox until Monday.
Onto the problem: I’m exhausted and fried from too much stress and weed, and too little food and sleep (zero hunger though, plus I’m puking from stress, so… I’m eating soup when I can and starting with good breakfasts). I have to write, but I can’t think because I’m so tired. I can’t sleep because I’m so stressed. I can’t calm down, because I haven’t written the paper. Weed ostensibly helps with the first two but very much not with the third one.
I wrote two sentences (the first two in the introduction) in 35 minutes, so trying to push through is… inefficient. What do I do?
Edit: I have already discussed and agreed with my fiancé, we’re not buying any more weed at least until I’m done with my studies, so no worries there.
What is the automatic recognition of quantities without having to count called?
When you look at a picture of three marbles, you don’t have to count them to know that there are three there, your brain just automatically knows that, but you have to count to see whether there are 17 or 18. I remember reading about a study of this for various animals. If I recall correctly, humans can typically recognize 4-5, but can train up to 7 or 8, but crows or possibly an insect have a really high quantity that they can just sense.
