Exactly. And add to that some journalistic solidarity, when the person before you asks a question that gets dodged and then you are called on ASK THE SAME QUESTION and keep doing it until either theres an answer or the admin is forced to end the press conference in shame

To tell you the tooth, I dent remember.

I think this one is Operation Túrin’s Bain, the one with the big, stinky dragon

They absolutely were. Biblical AF as friggin hell, man. Anyway, hope they hit a home run out of the park at the game!

…and set that folder down next to a running shopvac labeled “OneDrive”

To answer one of your follow-ups: Christ is a title, it’s the English version of the Greek word for messiah.

Jesus Christ = Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Messiah = Christ Jesus and so forth

Yeah, bee allergies are serious

I love the acid-base analogy! Someonene can be transparent but super reactive, like a strong acid or base, and when it comes into contact with an also transparent but opposing reactionary force, a lot of shit needs to precipitate out before things finally calm down.

Hang on, that’s an organism. An orgasm is a membrane bound compartment found within cells.

It’s not coming through for me for some reason. Can you try restarting it?

Kidding, of course, congrats on your “Hello, World”

Don’t paste something something website something

Instructions not read, but assumed

Because of the way it is written? I can drop quotes from the article, but that feels gross. Did you read it?

Edit: maybe it’s not AI, I retract that assertion, but it still just reads like slop to me and I respect maybe other people read it differently.

Article about bs AI that sounds like it was written by bs AI

I remember telling this joke once, recently. I knew it would come back soon.

Raping children is a political issue? That’s a weird thing to say, Mike.

For storytelling purposes, I like your idea a lot. The dramatic tension and release are there, and at epic proportions in terms of potential real-world devastating impact on powerful people.

But… For lived reality, I really would love the easy win without the added will-they-won’t-they drama. If this hits TACOman’s desk, he’s probably going to veto it anyway, so we will all still need to wait and see if anyone flips their stance during the veto override vote, and that’s plenty enough to be worried about on its own.

Yeah, it means we can all keep hoping to be trickled on at some point. They are only giving money to those of us that qualify as something higher than “consumer” on their caste list.

I am shocked to learn, and now you will know, too:

Flowbee is still around apparently!

Also autistic and did this for a few years. For a basic dude-cut, you can use buzz everything however short you want, then every few weeks after buzz the sides and back but let the top grow until it looks like it’s time to buzz your whole head again or you decide to let it keep growing back out for a bit. Pretty easy and low maintenance. Takes practice and follow the other person’s advice to shower and go back over your head to make sure you get everything, it’s harder than it seems like it should be. And you’ll need someone to help get your neckline at some point.

This cut might start out a lot shorter than you had in mind when you asked the question, or maybe not. When it comes to wielding scissors, that’s not something I can really attack my hair with, so I don’t have ideas that would be helpful in that regard.

I think you’re doing it exactly right. The three things I try to remember: 1) Do what you can, 2) When you can, 3) For as long as you can.

Some stuff is out of my wheelhouse, it’s not something I can not or will not do. Sometimes I have other obligations I need to keep in order to honor commitments I’ve made or help those in my circle that need it. And sometimes, I need to rest so I can be my best for those other stages. All of that is OK. Do what you can, when you can, as long as you can. Exceeding those boundaries is a recipe for trouble. Others will help plug holes once they see something is already happening and your community support system will self-reinforce and grow over time.
