Yeah- this makes it sound like they are doing it to cut back access, but it seems more likely there’s a rush on plan B and supply is limited. Especially with plan B they need to keep in stock in case someone actually needs to use it right away. It’s depressing there’s a need to stock up at all

I mean he’s less “dimwitted” and more “crazed” - dude went to Harvard Business. But it’s hard to predict how people will act. The right wing is also super into breaking down the public education system and propping up inadequate religious schools and homeschooling. There are some really crazed young people out there…

Eh the right has shown a very inconsistent ability to make decisions based on future or even past consequences to them and their loved ones. My uncle and I once got into a very circular argument where he argued I wouldn’t be killed in a school shooting because “you’ll stay safe” and the kids will  be ok because “the…

I mean the way it fluctuates makes it basically useless as currency. If that happens to any other currency, it’s a bad sign, not a market. 

I mean Clarence Thomas put Loving at risk with his decision and he’s literally in a (terrible) marriage that would be illegal without it. I don’t think conservatives are necessarily anticipating when this will impact them. See “it’s not really going to be at 6 weeks, it will be 15" or “It’s not going to make it…

My lane keeping feature is pretty good, but my experience with Google Maps tells me that computers get confused around a lot of driving locations. I’ve had Google Maps want me to drive into a cornfield or through a private truck depot with a fence blocking the way to the other road. Cities aren’t much better since the…

The problem with that is that asshole drivers will still want to be assholes- as we saw in the Tesla settings that literally let you break the law. 

I also loved the Zune. I think it was a bit heavy (though so so sturdy I dropped that thing a million times without a case and barely a scratch) and yeah the name just didn’t have cool factor for when it came out. I still laugh at Zune jokes even though I liked mine- it’s just naturally goofy sounding

I don’t think he was black based on the video? I think he was just a white ally 

Oh yeah- there were multiple Republican phones out visible in the GoPro footage too. It’s absolute bull that no one took any footage of him hitting her

That’s not even translating the bile when he says “schoolkids” like they are a ridiculous group to worry about

I mean it’s incorrect but she is trying to help people and has helped some people so far with her efforts to help the incarcerated. It seems like her family really didn’t value education for women (have *any* of the Kardashians gone to college? All the women got plastic surgery pretty quickly) despite her father being…

I always thought the biggest problem with the sit up test (especially for the Presidential Fitness Test which theoretically should function as an educational guide to help gym teachers encourage improved fitness in specific areas to students) is that it doesn’t include recommendations for adapted exercises and also…

I’m sure it’s playing in their heads 

I would say ‘trying to buy Twitter’ at this point since it seems it might end up with him not buying it and still paying a billion dollars. He ‘bought’ it with stock shares of a different unrelated company which was a janky prospect to begin with 

Like, republicans are literally trying to disincentivize companies from discussing climate change as an economic factor - it’s the worst party to go to if you are hoping the future is electric cars  

Yeah Smart was very lucky (‘lucky’ but also lucky) in that she got kidnapped by a weirdo who wanted to long term keep her and not someone who would dispose of her quickly. A lot of other missing white women do get found... but they find bodies it’s only somewhat comforting. There’s a pretty big chance that that poor…

Unfortunately the Uvalde police were the same kind of brown people - the Chief who was the #1 fuck up was Latino. But I think it’s a combination of incompetence, useless bravado, and cowardice. I’ve heard that in some precincts if you score too high for IQ it’s a negative and their actions really prove it here. Unless…

And honestly, it will probably just give them weird conservative boners instead of making them want to do anything bc the current GOP *loves* trauma porn. Oh look this legless man dragged himself to work so he didn’t call out how heroic isn’t that inspiring you can think of it next time you’re training for a marathon…

Yeah I would describe her as “girl next door” pretty. Which doesn’t really work for the “slutty dead cheerleader” thing they were trying to do- cheerleader as girl next door is more 50s/60s or like Buffy. But anyway the whole article is a reach since she’s one of 3 characters that die in a short span of time. It’s…
