Seriously, lol.

The two republicans mentioned in the article are for sure the two heads of that vomiting earthworm in the pic. The coffee analogy guy being the one vomiting his drivel of lead addled brainrot into an elementary school level take on broadband data caps and general economic theory.

Dafuq?

Republicans are more like a cult.

Republicans are more like a cult.

FTFY

And agreed on all fronts.

This is a great post. Additionally, if the exploitation isn’t occurring in a ramp up of costs to use basic functions of the service, it’s definitely occurring somewhere else and likely at the expense of your privacy.

It isn’t ironic that they are revolting people, though…

Agreed as to Walgreens. Walgreens has surprised me with their photo and printing options. They are also located in the burbs, so that is nice.

Yeah lol I’ve been a fan since then, for sure. She’s a badass.

Isn’t this the start of a Pierce Brosnan Bond movie? The one with Michelle Yeoh lol

Are you me?

I hope someone is writing this novel already, but there’s definitely some gold in a story featuring witness tampering and faking DNA signatures for recently deceased witnesses to take the stand.

I’m out of Dresden Files novels, so this would definitely scratch my urban fantasy/magipunk itch.

Oh, there are far worse things than death.

Lol seriously, though, I’m sure we’d come up with something. Humanity is remarkably inventive when it comes to punishments. Thankfully, now, some of us are at least talking about better ways to make them fit the crime.

Love ol’ Jim. My stepdad and I caught him for his 2014 tour and it’s been one of the highlights of both our live entertainment experiences lol that and seeing Rush in 2012.

Edit: “live” entertainment lol… Gotta love mobile.

Not great, not terrible…

Genuinely everything. It’s like a whole program on just “how to find the newest worst way to be a human being”.

You’re right. Not with the finger just by itself, but in support of the other fingers, I meant.

Should have been more clear with what I was envisioning lol sorry.

Edit: I guess that also depends on which finger it is. Like your ring finger lost at the second knuckle could probably still help support grasping, but idk about the pinky lol.

“If taking the top of my finger was the price I had to pay, that’s what I would do.”

That decision also depends on which knuckle it needed to be amputated past. This quote makes me think it’s just amputating from the top knuckle up, which is really just your fingernail. You still keep a lot of use out of the finger in that case.

Edit: Even if it’s the second knuckle and up, you’d still have a solid amount of grasping utility with that finger.

Yeah, depending on where I’m going, there are specific areas you can bring your car around to if you’re deciding to camp in the car lol parking lots, in my experience, are for day trippers and people looking to drop their car off and hoof it to the stream for fishing or go deeper to camp/backpack.

Edit: West Coast/Rockies and foothills mainly for me.

This is one of the more eloquent definitions I’ve seen of conservatives. It’s exactly how I see them operate.

The fucked up thing is that a lot of the younger ones I’ve seen recently have that knowledge that their destructive worldviews are messed up, but continue with it out of trauma or some kind of sadism.

I’d guess that many of the older ones have doubled down on that so many times, they can’t remember it ever being a decision or up for internal debate. So, they just keep digging their hateful holes in the sand, ready to plunge their heads in any time they hear something that upsets their delicate, irrational, fantasies.

Social media use is related to classroom distractions, but I’d say it is it’s own can of worms that needs to be addressed.

The issue is both with scope and amplification of persistent issues like those you mentioned as well as the detached nature of communication over these apps or just on the internet in general.

Human interactions are definitely ugly and awkward at times, especially between kids as they try to make sense of their world. The increased amount/prevalence of these opportunities for communication through an algorithmic lens that perpetuates unrealistic societal expectations and is designed to keep the user constantly engaged both take a greater toll on mental health and distract people (adults included) from the task at hand or reality in general.

What’s with the fetishization of school shootings in this thread?

This whole argument is weird. Kids don’t need smart phones in school. Is your argument that we should let kids have smart phones so they can call their parents if there is ever a school shooting? Do you think every kid should be prepared for imminent death at all times in the classroom? What’s the actual argument?

I’m stating that smart phones are a net negative to any learning environment and there are already effective modes of communication within schools.
