Phenomephrene

Younger brains have fewer memories. This checks out.

I did that thing where I lied on the internet. The preamble was there purely as a setup for the greatest joke of all time.

I always pictured mammoths being more docile: disinclined to charge. Didn’t realize they could be more of a wooly bully.

It would be very on-brand, and probably entertaining, if these two send absolute bottom dollar lawyers to represent their case.

Yeah. While I think it unlikely enough that anyone from the Vatican is using the fediverse, I think I’m safe in completely dismissing out of hand that anyone with the official capacity to represent the Vatican is here posting about their dissatisfaction with the Olympics.

Pro tip: Have other people do the scratching.

The only way to become a billionaire is to exploit the labor of others.

Sometimes there’s payoff to being a visual learner.

Apparently I’m not as hip to the lingo as I could be. I had to look up everything besides LFG. Well, I knew what “big dick” meant, but I searched that anyway just for fun.

Hey, y’all remember how you were feeling about 4 weeks ago as the news media was eviscerating Biden over his debate performance? What a difference a month can make. I’m pretty jubilant this morning. As the kids say, LFG!!!

Yep, this one is immediately and firmly in the never column.

That lines up pretty well with my experience. I lived in Wisconsin for about 2-1/2 years. It’s not a state that has nothing going for it. The structure is absolutely there for it to be a successful and enjoyable place that residents could have right to be proud of. With what I encountered though the phrase Wississippi was very apt. And yeah, it’s because too many people there choose for it to be that way.

Ask Wisconsin how that Foxconn contract he helped secure for them turned out.

(For those not familiar, and disinclined to investigate further, the answer is “Not great.”)

Ah, ok. Yeah, I didn’t grok that from the original post.

To still provide something of a counter point, I think the urban rural divide exists as much in the coastal states as it does in the midwest. These attitudes exist to greater it lesser degrees pretty much anywhere you go. On balance though, there is a lot more corn in the midwest than in the coastal states, if you catch my meaning.

Minnesota has designated itself a refuge state for the trans community seeking access to healthcare, so no, not really.

I’m sorry that that’s been your experience. Hopefully you at least remain open to having your mind changed about it. There really are quite a lot of us who contradict that sentiment.

Let’s try to be fair here. He’s at least worth the cost of incarceration for as many years as he has left.

When asked for comment on the ramifications of operating business efficiently upon an already struggling working class, who are finding it increasingly difficult to secure housing and adequate nutrition for themselves and their children, Diller’s lips formed a smile twice as broad as his face, eyes glossing over as he stared dreamily into the distance with eyes twinkling like the night sky.

The above quote may or may not actually appear in the linked article.

Yeah, that’s when the requirement started. I’d tried the app before that and that was when I decided I wouldn’t use it. They kept the policy around long enough for me to completely give up on them. Not actually sure if it’s still a thing around here. Not super urgent for me to find out. I go to Pancheros now for a quick service burrito analogue.

I stopped going there after they required ordering via their app. Not sure if that was a policy everywhere or just around here. I use apps to order at a lot of places, but I’d tried using the Chipotle app previously and found both smaller portions and that their error rate was higher than I was willing to deal with. If I can’t walk in and watch my order being made so I can make sure it’s correct, sorry, I’ll go somewhere else.
