If your idea of fun is "torturing" something that fully reacts as if it is being tortured, and you find that enjoyable, I'm just... not sure we're gonna vibe, as people.

addendum that’s going to make everyone mad at me: if you’re pro death penalty then you should be forced to watch your idea of justice being carried out. it’s cowardice to absolve yourself from witnessing that which you hold to be just

You ask a question that smells like reverse engineering an existing product and they stop immediately, but somehow this is too hard to figure out.

I think this is great! In our house we try to explain how thoughts like JK's hurt people we know and love and still let them make a choice. 7 YO's love for others usually overpowers the shiny object (for now)

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

I tell the staff I need to zone out. I bring noise canceling earbuds and play something I have to mentally pay attention to, like a good audio book. I also tell them don't read my body language, that's just anxiety. They'll know when I'm having a problem. Otherwise let me know when you find it 🫂

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

'They touch everything': Sylvan Esso confronts the Spotify dilemma, again
A year after pulling its music in protest, the duo is back on Spotify. For Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, that journey has been frustrating, eye-opening — and full of smaller victories.

HEADLINE: Prince Drops In For Poodle
SUBHEAD:
'It Can't Be,' Store Owner Thought
 By TONY KISS Staff Writer Prince, the rock singer and star of the film "Purple Rain," made a brief unannounced stop in Asheville- Wednesday morning. The singer walked into the Pet Luv pet store at Ashe- ville Mall about 11:30 a.m., ac- cording to man- ager Kay Grant. "I had a call about an hour earlier (from an uni- dentified man) who asked if 1 had any toy poodles," Grant said Wednes- day night. "I told him I did, and he

Prince, who was in "a very good mood," purchased the animal and some other items, she said. When the singer walked into the store, Grant said she was the only one there. "At first, i thought, this can't be. This can't be happening in my life," she said. "A few minutes after he left, a number of people came into the store looking for him. I told him their bus was still parked out in the parking "He stayed for about 45 minutes signing autographs." Prince paid for the poodle and other items with a Mastercard, and signed the receipt as Prince Nelson (the singer's real name), Grant said. "I'm going to frame that receipt and put it on the wall," Grant said. "He's the first celebrity I've had in my shop."

asked for directions to the store. "Then about 11:30 a.m., a man walked in and asked if I had toy poo- dles. I told him yes, and he went out and came back a few minutes later with Prince, his ladyfriend and an- other bodyguard." The singer never identified him- self, Grant said. "But it was obvious who he was. He was dressed in a long full-length fur coal, no shirt, white leather pants and purple knee boots. "He said he was in a hurry, that he had to play a concert tonight in Greensboro, and that he wanted me to speed things up as much as possi- ble.' The singer looked at some of the poodles on display in the store, but didn't like them, Grant said. "So I showed him some poodles that I had in the back, and he liked a little black toy poodle."

It's all about the ability to get shit done with minimal friction. With WSL I think Windows is a viable platform, but I prefer Mac. Linux always breaks things we just expect to work: sound, mouse controls, wifi.
