How do you find the people with the same struggles as you without some common banner to look for? And just naming symptoms without some root cause is probably not going to be helpful. Treating leg pain from a broken bone is different than treating leg pain from a bad cramp. Similar for a lot of social/mental challenges.

Do you know why humans are as advanced as we are? It’s because we can learn from each other and build on what people before us have done. A label helps you connect with people who have the same struggles and learn what strategies they used to cope and live a fulfilling life. It’s a way to avoid having to reinvent the wheel.

I believe they’re referencing Dr. George Tiller.

The goal is to mess up price history. So it will have a list price of $50 but with a coupon to make it $35. Then a sale day happens and they lower the price to $40. It’s 20% off! Good deal.

It doesn’t really help if you’re comparison shopping with alerts. I don’t know that Amazon thinks you’re going to go to another site.

The context is just her life. That she’s attempting to apply to everyone always. The problem is not the question like she seems to assume. And her solution to ask “Where do you consider home?” is awkward and doesn’t really help.

To note, the problem is the underlying assertion that they have to be from somewhere foreign when other people in the same area won’t have that assumption applied to them. So the context the question is asked in matters a lot and her blanket statement completely takes that context out of it.

Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

Additionally, my wife has recently started watching Gossip Girl but I only catch glimpses of that show. Did anybody actually like that show when it came out?

If you think of teenage girls as people, tons of people liked it when it came out. They also liked the books.

Because Justices will get old and die. Or they’ll retire and be replaced by someone younger. If it’s a Democrat in the White House, when that happens, we get to push the court leftward. If it’s a Republican, it goes rightward. Thomas and Alito retiring and being replaced by someone 30 years younger solidifies a right-wing majority for decades.

No. He was the kind of evil that legally harmed and killed millions. A That you see that as innocent shows a complete disregard for humanity.

It’s sick you think he was innocent.

Completely dependent on how the store programs it. There is a lot of variance. For me it seems like grocery stores are the worst where even looking funny at the thing sets it off, then like target is usually fine, and finally places like home Depot don’t even seem to have the sensors (they let you use the gun and keep things in your cart).

In case it’s someone who looks plausibly old enough but who “borrowed” Mom’s ID. I doubt they have facial recognition to match ID to face on those cheap POSs.

My experience with self checkout at Costco is very much that they still do 80% of the work if you have more than 2 things. Like they’re flipping things and scanning them in my cart and I’m just handling pushing buttons and paying on the touch screen. It’s kinda bizarre but not bad imo.

The real trick is they don’t have the weight sensor and cameras that flip out over every move. Like damn I told you I was putting 3 bags in the bagging area; they are not unexpected items.

The green doesn’t follow that.

Because small children absolutely adore it.

If the change is a new untracked file

Wasn’t the issue that it deleted a bunch of preexisting untracked files? So old untracked files.

If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.

I think intentionally being misgendered pisses most people off.

Maybe because your brain wanted 5+3+2=10 instead of 5+4+2=11 ?

You’re wrong about both paragraphs. It’s not the days that fall into the circles. It’s the activities you do on those days. So it’s not a normal day that’s world ending. It’s things you do on both kinds of days.
