My voice is my passport, verify me.

Not quite the same, but my favorite:

I think the one thing that visual misses out on is that no one accounted for how many would describe themselves as loving having their face eaten.

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don't have an active network connection? If yes, that's a "read it later" service. If no, then that's why they are useful.

This is why I've started reading one book, listening to a different audio book in my right earbud and streaming someone doing a YouTube read a loud in the other Earbud. Burning through that TBR...

This was in Minneapolis earlier this year and the demand was through the roof.

In the states I've lived in, Junior High and Middle school are both synonymous with grades 6-8

That was what I was referring to. I was being a bit hyperbolic, but a year in national service (beyond just the military) to do community service and gain skills in general not a new proposal. Pete Buttigieg suggested it after HS as part of his candidacy during the 2020 democratic primary.

That's fair. In my district your insurance is covered if you qualify for assistance, but intentional damage isn't included in insurance.

In my school we will still replace the Chromebook though (barring admin or district saying otherwise), and the financial impact will be fought by others at the district level. It's above my pay grade.

Yes they are. These 9th graders are feral though. That realization would require forethought.

Some of these kids should have been sent out to cut trail for a year between HS and Middle School.

Yore thinking of a feeling of sadness, I think the word you're thinking of is Melania.

Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester in Minnesota, was appointed less than a week ago by President Trump to the new White House Commission on Religious Liberty. This week, however, he was at the Vatican with hundreds of other prelates as the cardinal electors gather for the conclave to choose a new pontiff.

...

"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church."

Chicago Pope proclaims he's "on a mission from God", looking to "get the band back together."

Can we just pick up and move King's Island and Cedar Point somewhere better?

Sadly I fully expect to hear that parroted from family soon.

It was anything but typical.

I believe the first case was Robert Palmer in 1979. There are recordings of him pleading with a doctor for any news for his bad case. It seemed like there was no pills to cure him either.

I'm incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it's good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.

Only significant pain will transform the US unfortunately. And it'll either be economic or combative. Most MAGA voters are gone, but the "nothing will change" non-voters can be woken up from the delusion that nothing matters and helped to recognize that voting at its most basic is harm reduction.

As a border state that sees a bunch of Canadian tourists and shoppers it'll suck, but the only way out is through.
