I suppose online discourse can lead to those outcomes, but I just can't imagine having those talking point conversations in real life with neighbors or people in the community. I do believe that pundits like Yglesias get these replies, but I don't think bluesky factors into the general electorate.

Do people actually say this? I am more progressive than most folks, and maybe it is because I live in a conservative state, but I can't imagine telling my centrist friends that they are basically Republicans.

What if you could load Laravel relations based on distance? (Come to #Laracon to find out 😉)
public function cell_towers()
{
  return new HasNear(
    $this,
    new CellTower(),
    new Distance(meters: 500)
  );
}

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

They have a PHPStorm plugin that still uses the terminal, but uses the diff viewer in the ide, which is pretty nice

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? If I uncheck the * line height rule (that's crossed out in dev tools), the 1.5 rule magically works… (Happens in both Chrome and Safari.)
CSS:

* {
  line-height: 1.15;
}

.leading-normal {
  /* 😡 this is not applying */
  line-height: 1.5 !important;
}

HTML:

<div class="leading-normal">
    <p>
        This paragraph tag has a line-height of 1.15 :/
    </p>
    <p class="leading-normal">
        This paragraph tag ALSO has a line-height of 1.15 :/
    </p>
</div>Screen shot showing 1.15 line height rule is not applied per Chrome dev tools

You just transported me back to 2005. I'm 15 and it's 9:30pm. Roller coaster tycoon is up on the computer and I pop a molten hot pizza roll straight from the microwave.

We would play this game in college where you do a random topic generator, pick a word, go to the Wikipedia homepage and whoever could click through pages to get to the random topic in the fewest clicks won.

I wonder if we had a command that checked for out of order events and if there was a new order needed we fire a reordered event.

Behave accordingly
The old ibm slide that originally said A COMPUTER

CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER

MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

Except edited to say

A computer can never unionize therefore a computer is management
