Now I really want to see someone try to make a multi-channel track using only their voice that a modem can recognize as data.

I look forward to watching people finally reach their breaking point and start firebombing government buildings. Preferably while Trump is in them.

Isn't that basically just a modem?

I don't know that I agree with that. I guess it depends. For example, if they bought the land and let it return to nature, is that really morally wrong, especially given the remote location? Humans aren't the only ones who might want to use that land.

There was a post some time ago where someone mentioned going to the doctor for an employer-mandated sick note and the doctor was so irritated by it, that they wrote the note demanding 3 days of bed rest, rather than the 1 that had originally been requested. Thought that was pretty classy.

This is employer dependent in the US, too. I can Slack my boss and say "I'm feeling under the weather, going to unplug and rest today," and she'll say "Okay, no problem, feel better!", and that's the end of the conversation. Definitely the exception to the rule, though; I think OP's situation is much more common.

With Activision Blizzard, anyone can say "Yeah, fuck those guys!" then buy the latest game when it releases, and nobody is the wiser.

With Tesla, they're getting vandalized on the streets. Insurance rates are hiking. It has social stigma attached. You can't buy a Tesla and hide the fact that you have it. It comes with social backlash.

Even the folks who had no intention of buying one can contribute to that public sentiment, and as long as that social backlash remains, it'll be effective at dissuading people from buying them.

Nothing at all. DEI is just being used like a catch-all media buzzword to justify racism. To Trump, DEI means "Anything at all about anyone who isn't a cis white male that I don't like".

It's a hex placed on their family line in generations past, for some unknown sleight committed against a witch or something. They're cursed to forever burn any food they try to cook.

Maybe the dad doesn't know how to cook, either. It's just a whole family tree of dads who can't cook.

If he resigned and divested, maybe. He won't, but maybe.

9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.

Which sounds worse:

• From the late 1900s
• From last century

Wouldn't it be easier to have stools available that a kid could pull up to the sink to use a normal height sink, than to have sinks that are exclusively useful by kids?

The bathroom argument that you made is akin to saying that folks shouldn’t feel entitled to bike lines / safe sidewalks because our cities were designed for cars and sidewalks and bike lanes are expensive for a tiny percent of the moving population.

Bike lanes are installed by the government using taxpayer funding. Bathrooms (in non-public spaces) are installed by private companies. Difference in expectations there, for sure.

Some of these seem fine, some of them not so fine. Letting kids run around at a restaurant? I'd call that not fine. Other people are paying to be there and they probably don't want to deal with your kids running around and past their table. The concerns about servers tripping over them are real, even if it's not actually happening. I suspect the servers would prefer not to have to dodge someone's kids to prevent that from happening.

The fountain? Not a problem, no one was being inconvenienced there, no one was paying to be there and having their time disrupted. They weren't creating a dangerous situation.

The barbecue? Not a problem, they were invited, presumably by someone who understands what they're getting into, and they can be uninvited, or not invited next time if it's a problem.

Bottom line is, there's places where it's appropriate to let your kids run around and be wild, and there's places where it's not, and if your kids aren't capable of not doing it in places where it isn't appropriate, that's a problem.

Just look at any public restroom, where the sinks are too high for them to reach

Well, maybe your two-year-old isn't entitled to low sinks in a public restroom not specifically designed for children (e.g. at a school)? That shit costs money, why would they install low sinks just so kids who amount for a tiny percentage of the users can use them without parental assistance?

Depends on the puzzle; it's certainly possible to design Sudoku puzzles that necessitate guessing, but most do not. It's possible you're just not familiar with some of the more complex ways to make deductions.

Maybe check this list - it could be that your puzzle requires some of the more advanced techniques that you aren't using.

I wonder if Trump hand-signed all of those J6 insurrectionist pardons. Maybe that should be investigated.

Is that a reddit-ism? Isn't it more just pop culture that exists equally both on and off of Reddit?

This is hilarious, because of Biden's "I'd have won if I was the candidate" bullshit. More like "Harris might have won if I wasn't hamstringing her", but okay, sure, Joe. Let's get you to bed, now.

Your coloration took an innocent map of Europe and somehow made the thumbnail look dirty. Good job!
