I love your thoughts here. I hadn't ever thought of ways you can last minute engineer a way for the vehicle to keep the pedestrian from being crushed rather than thrown up

I like this - but would companies that fail (in being second) not get credit for their work? You could imagine the second place actually having a more effective product at the end.

Penises are so weird. I'm glad no one can tell my level of arousal unless they are looking at my underwear or under it... Which by that point I probably am okay sharing that information.

Tangential note - had a fun conversation with my person the other day on how I'm used to the erect penis as "normal" and how it looks funnier when it's not whereas for him it's the opposite!

Maybe! I had my eyes closed so didn't see what was happening until I opened them. I kind of want to experiment more.

Wait - can you explain this further?

Why depreciating asset?

Also, they probably aren't selling it right? Just using as a rent-free option after paying mortgage to lower cost of living?

What am I missing?

This explains so freaking much about how everyone is always terrified of Canadian health care when it works decently well. (Perfect? No!) But so many of their problems in accessing specialists are identical to ours. (Most common argument I hear.)

And it was just so much easier getting on antidepressants and switching up my birth control methods while I was in Canada than if I had tried the same in the US.

I want to test this out. Let's see how it goes. Today I went skiing and I have a pet rabbit.

Holy shit. I expected at least one typo

As a female bodied person - can I get an explanation?

As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked

I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.

A two party system was one of George Washington's fear. It breeds division while both sides occupy themselves making us emotional about how much the other side does wrong. Then they get more donations and more power. They don't care if they aren't effective because they know we won't ever go to the other side.

... There's a great Freakonomics episode on the duopoly formed by the Democratic and Republican parties and how they both benefit while stifling the competition from other parties that could provide more varied perspective.

My takeaway - support rank choices voting and elimination of closed primaries (which encourage extremism in candidates).

Nurses deal with criminals, mentally ill, homeless, and people resisting their help for 12 hours a shift on weekdays, weekends, and nights. They don't go crazy on people.

But beware the nipples.

And sleep.

Remember to support systems/organizations working to make changes that allow for challengers from outside the main two parties to succeed. (Like ranked choice voting where not voting democratic doesn't mean giving power to Republican or vice versa!)

I have a question out of curiosity... Is it supportive in a good way or do the ab and back muscles start to weaken with time if you don't make an effort to strengthen them?

If you say guns kill people one more time, I will shoot you with a gun, and you will, coincidentally, die.

Every time you think it can't get weirder.

So fun fact - the clothes were made to look like the proportions were wild and therefore historical corsets were not as crazy tight as we would assume.

... my phone is always dying so I think I'd like living in a desert otherworld where my phone mysteriously never dies

I can respect that. But also- set aside money on a regular basis (cash in an envelope for the physical reality or in a budgeting app) until you have enough to get one. And then splurge on that or something else you want more by then!
