I like how the colorist for #40 was still like "I've got a job to do and I'm gonna do it!"

While Ziggy jived them that they were voodoo.

"Those against making Election Day a federal holiday argue that such a large focus on one day is misguided, since almost 70% of ballots in the 2020 presidential election were cast before Election Day."

"Suppose you use a constant schedule year round"

It took a full paragraph to get to saying you didn't read them comment and then four more to elaborate on that?

In a sane world they would just get to school earlier and leave earlier - that's all DST effectively does while adding a heaping helping of absolute insanity.

Corn flakes were famously invented to discourage fucking one's self.

While sedation is also accurate, I suspect you meant sedition.

This is Iran. The mini-bombs were in Lebanon.

This is the third group of people Israel is trying to kill in their apparent attempt to start World War III

Is that a pool of blood?

This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.

Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you're a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.

Tarquin says it best, though much more humorously, here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html

By Rush's personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.

You don't beat such people with legacy.

This one doesn't even call her "Hawk Tuah girl".

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they're neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That's what causes the movement. If the weight didn't change there would be no movement.

I invite you to touch an electric fence with a stick then.

I'm gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store...

Apparently it's not just an American thing, but maybe other countries have more sense not to do it anymore.

They're usually in "high end" restaurants in big cities like Las Vegas. The ones I recall usually have the sinks somewhat separated from the stalls with a partition or turn, but they're not wholly separate rooms. The motivations are probably more needing money, access to a fancy place, and being an extrovert than perversion - more windshield wiper gig than peeping Tom.

I think it's a combination of a holdover from another time that maybe was useful when they had an expanded role - they probably actually used to keep the bathroom clean, and some guys will shine shoes etc. - and tip-based service jobs they gave to poor people. I think they do get an hourly rate, but it's probably below minimum wage for the same reasons waiting tables is.

Bathroom attendants - since people got all the high value stuff.

I don't mean people that clean the bathroom etc.

I mean the guy that stands at the sink and makes awkward small talk before handing you a towel you could have got yourself and expects a tip.

EDIT: Y'all I'm pretty sure no one's having sex or shooting up in the bathroom at the fucking Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas ... Coke - probably. I don't know where anyone else has seen a bathroom attendant, but every place I've seen one at I've been wearing a suit...

Outdoors are generally not protected by right to privacy, even if on private property.

Someone standing in their own front lawn can be recorded with both video and audio without their consent.

This is what makes it legal to record police.

The problem isn't just that it will be thrown out in court, it's that it itself is illegal.

Which doesn't necessarily mean don't do it but you're limited in how you can reveal how you know things are being stolen etc.
