You ever read a transcript of minor deportation hearing in the United States immigration system? The kids usually don't have lawyers. The judge is fucking asking a ten-year old if they understand immigration law. It's beyond ridiculous. It is state-directed abuse against fucking kids.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Whole Foods knows about the Four Waters that are combined in a specific order to create normal water but they won't tell you them
Bathroom sink area where one can see three pipes coming out of three adjacent places on the wall which combine left plus center and right plus center and then all three again into one and then up through a weird larger tube section and then up and then down again to combine with flow from a fourth pipe coming out of a different place in the wall and then into a white plastic shrouded pipe section(?) and then up into/under the sink. Hot water has its own separate pipe from the wall. OkClose up

Notably, travel times also did not increase outside the congestion zone. This mirrors what we have seen in other aggregate congestion pricing impacts. For example, it was predicted that drivers would change their routes to avoid the zone, creating new congestion; this, too, did not happen.

Tis the season for bamboo worms. These are found in bamboo stalks and are highly sought after here. Fry them in oil and they’re like a potato chip if you can get over the whole eating grubs thing. They’re actually pretty expensive and cost way more than pork

This is a poor take that suggests Owen Jones doesn't know much about Russia in the 1990s, including Russia-US or wider Russia-West relations in the 1990s. By giving only one part of the story, he is repeating the Russian political elite's self-serving line that it was all the West's fault. Long 🧵

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

started to use the term "big emotions" with my autistic daughter and she's really taken to it. I asked if they are happy or sad emotions and she just answers "too big" which makes sense because sometimes emotions are too big to tell exactly what they are and adults need that granular description
