It’s interesting watching people who were/are activists begin to gain influence and power in more mainstream circles. In the cases I’m familiar with where I work, when that happens, people who were all for power sharing and unionization and giving people the ability to impact decisions that will affect them ...…

In a just world, the attendant moved the guy to the seat next to the lav, and didn’t recline.

Shipping by definition means picking a position that’s mutually exclusive with others...

Yeah, I’ve had people call me (I work in a public safety adjacent municipal department) to try and get the police to come by because a neighbor has parked in ‘their’ public street parking spot, just to name one issue.

Most likely, someone did call - in general, the cops aren’t interested in moving the homeless around randomly.  And, frankly, rich folks are assholes and call the cops all the time for bullshit reasons.

You can buy and play it on PC - which is what I do. Consoles got to expensive for me when the vast majority of games - for both/all consoles are also released on PC.

You can sign up under a different email and change your visible user name after the fact.

They can do that, if they’re programmed to do so - and I don’t know if this particular program was.

However, correlation is pretty much always a necessary indicator for causation.

trying to parse out noisy variables to make the leap from correlation to actual causation.

Sure, but as below - the person who served your food may make less than you and even if you can’t tip there’s no reason to be proud of the fact.

My two Shyamalan twist theories:

Sounds like there is a story (ie: ‘easy’) mode, which is where I tend to play because ... when it comes down to it, I’m interested in either the story of the game, or exploring a world, not whether or not I can hit the appropriate combination of keys in the right order quick enough to defeat a computer’s pre-programmed…

It’s a TV show aimed at white women, to help them feel like noble victims and the center of any stories about suffering, of course it’s not going to let pesky things like the myriad shitty ways white women participate in systemic oppression of people of color, queer folks, or anyone else who isn’t a white woman show…

I’m not sure if you deserve a star for this or if it’s too entirely disturbing for that.

All the non-dairy milks are disgusting to drink plain, and don’t work well in many cooking situations that milk does, plus they are not the innocent, environmentally sound alternative that everyone claims - some take huge amounts of water, soil and nutrients to be second rate fake milk. They all make terrible cheese.

Because it tends to be applied based on discrimination and bias, and because the crimes that we usually deem worthy of ‘without parole’ are the sorts of crimes that aren’t going to be repeated. I would also assume for folks that commit heinous crimes would be under observation for quite some time after any…

They’re a hell of a lot more common than cross dressing, cock sucking, humiliation focused straight men.  And I’ve found them to be pretty common in kink parties.

Could be - they have entirely artificial Japanese starlets who do exaclty that - they have social media presences etc. And it’s extra great because these artificial personalities have absolutely no inappropriate, unphotogentic, non-scripted reactions to anything. Just what marketing loves.

It’d be kinda crass but in some way I kind wish that she’s a womanizer/man-izer (what’d be the word when we’re not claiming that women having lots of sex aren’t sluts?) like Bond? I mean, to be honest, that is a core tenent of the stories - that 007 sleeps around, that the movies are as much about fantasizing about…
