But what an awesome problem to have!

Either my purple freezies are deficient, or my sniffer is. I've never noticed a smell! (And purple is the only one I eat!)

It's the same goblin that eats my socks and turns all of my underwear inside out.

That got a surprised snort-laugh out of me lol

Oh, I know it's ridiculous. They took my family member, that's all I needed to see to realize that.

It was (kind of) an option at one point: blowing from a gun.

It's not much of a protest when many of the people participating are doing so involuntarily because they can't afford to buy things anyway.

You can have a high IQ and still be an utterly inept moron. I have family in Mensa and they are hands down some of the laziest, stupidest people I know.

Many people in the US have that “fear of the other” drilled into them starting at a very young age.

You are so very right. I was born in the mid-70's and I grew up in a rural area, lots and lots of low-income farmers outside of the valley, no minorities. There was a city to the west, and a notorious maximum security prison to the east. The news focused almost solely on the non-white people inhabiting both, and as a result I grew up absolutely terrified of those "others", because the bad things was all I ever heard. I had no real contact with any minorities until I was an adult and had to get a job in the city. One morning driving in to that job, my car broke down a couple miles from where I worked, in a pretty run-down area. I had to walk the rest of the way to work. Not a soul bothered me, but that fear of the "other" was so strong that by the time I got to the office I was physically ill from it. Reactions and fears like this were the norm with the people I knew back then, and the media and those in power continue now with the propaganda that the "other" are to be feared and distrusted, because keeping us on edge and divided makes us easier to control.

I've never thought about it before, but I wonder if the companies with games containing microtransactions can ask PSN for compensation for lost income due to long outages.

I beat ET as a kid. I just wanted to share that. No cigarette afterparty occurred, though.

The canary died back when they removed "don't be evil". I think the canary was just resurrected as a Horizon Zero Dawn mech canary.

Lots of bears where I am. If you hit them head on, your car is usually totaled.

I like how in their slippery pizza cheese example, google's ai referenced a really old Reddit comment about how adding glue to the cheese will make it less slippery. Lol

Anyone who plays stealth games knows that you have to watch out for the chickens when you're trying to be sneaky.

Wait, I'm supposed to be doing my home improvements?

Oh boy, do I feel that one.

Based on my own experience, this is how most cities handle their PD/FD funding, unfortunately. The fire department is just not important.. until it is.

The article doesn't really say very much. They mention that the users are from many different countries, and their subject of choice is how to sexually assault women in their households. No mention of ID'ing those involved outside of saying that Telegram generally doesn't cooperate when asked to give info on their users.

So it's kind of a long story! To try and shorten it: I didn't wear jeans much as a kid/teen because I have problems with my stomach and the button waist hurt my stomach. So I always had stretch pants on, and they weren't a great look for me. I was already bullied a lot and the pants didn't help any. Then I entered the working world and had to wear dressy clothes. I honestly didn't really care though. 27 years of dressy clothes, and my boss retired and her replacement did not give a flying fig what I wore. Over the years, my stomach issues had gotten worse but I actually found buttoned pants more comfortable now. I went hog wild and bought all the jeans. All kinds of cute shoes to go with the jeans. I was fashionable! Yay! Aaaand then a year ago we got a new Big Boss who decided to require uniforms. He gave us a year to get used to the idea before we had to start following the new rules. Today was actually my last jeans at work day; Thursday it's on to uniforms. I don't actually mind the uniforms, but I am seriously mourning my cute clothes because outside of work I'm basically a shut-in and will almost never wear them again.

The way the guy talked, he seemed to imply he knew about a lot of other people involved in that movement. Perhaps the FBI was just really making sure all of their i's were dotted and t's were crossed so nothing goes wrong with bringing him in and getting him to divulge a lot of information. Or.. the guy has already blown off half of a hand making his explosives. Maybe the FBI was waiting in the hopes he'd blow the rest of himself to kingdom come and they wouldn't have to deal with him lol.
