So there’s that, but also the position of “special counsel” or whatever dumb title he holds is time limited. You can’t be an unelected government official indefinitely (although I’m sure the current administration would change the rules if they cared enough to keep him). He’s making it sound like he’s bowing out, when it was the plan to step down in May from the beginning.

If a group of parents coordinated wearing “All Lives Matter (but Black Lives Matter Less)” wristbands to protest inclusion of a black athlete, sure.

I don’t know if it’s the circles I’m around or what, but this is not my experience at all. As someone with a nonverbal autistic loved one who was bullied with this slur, I disagree with the idea that it doesn’t cause harm to continue to use it. If someone uses it I ask that they don’t use it around me and that’s been respected. Language evolves over time, and we need to evolve away from using what was relatively recently a medical diagnosis as an insult.

Knowing that about your partner brings you closer to soulmate status. In the OP, knowing that she would be happy he brought her ribs and then executing it is what made it cute.

Thank you. I’m always so fascinated by different superstitions.

To invite the devil in? Or is this a different superstition?

A little glass vial? A little glass vial!

You’re not wrong. The parents chose not to vaccinate, and vaccines almost certainly would have prevented this outcome. Where I’m struggling is the “serves them right” attitude when it wasn’t the parents who paid for their mistake- it was a small child with no say in the matter. It’s possible to feel anger towards the parents (though it doesn’t change anything at this point) and still have empathy for the actual victim.

Sorry, what do you mean their choice? I hope by them you mean the parents, because the poor girl had no chance.

Cthulhu is a priest whose role is to summon the ancient ones. In this context he is the middleman.

If they were happy then the Kids would be Alright.

Hayao Miyazaki’s art style specifically has so much life injected into it, that you would have to be incredibly specific to even approach his style.

There’s an instance that stands out in Spirited Away, when Chihiro is putting on her shoes, she taps the toes of one foot against the ground to set it on correctly. A miniscule detail, but one that makes her feel more real. You’d need such an elaborate prompt to make that happen via AI, but thats the kind of detail that he includes in his movies. To him, the thought of having “someone” illustrate that who has never put their shoe on incorrectly and had to fix it is beyond inauthentic. That’s my take. Less about the worry of technology taking over, and more about the technology not understanding the language it’s being taught, because it can’t.

If something takes more than 4 years it gets lumped into “never” territory because no political party wants the next party to get credit for their work.

Guarantee it took Germany more than 4 years to recover their reputation (and even then, not enough to do well in Eurovision).

Robin Hood only took money from the rich. Luigi took life (allegedly), and scared the other rich folks enough to allow some life (healthcare) for the plebs for some short time.

I think it’s Jaguar. They’re doing a bonkers rebranding right now where you can’t tell what the ads are trying to sell.

But that’s why you do a single snow pea, with a repeater behind. Until you can save up for winter melons, then you replace 3/5 sunflowers with them in the back row and have two rows of repeaters. Then some tall nuts and spikeweed (my beloved).

GATTACA! GATTACA!

One of the first things I did when I first moved out from my parents is eat a whole bag of Oreos for breakfast because I could.

It turns your poop black.

He’s a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.

I think that you mentioned that the application might be narrow, and they wanted to chime in on how it might personally have helped them. They aren’t arguing, just adding.
