Sounds like he wants a hush money payment. We’ll see how it works out for him…

很酷！很多的人也很多的我的朋友 from my hometown & childhood 和你一样来自中国。我喜欢能看到 the etymology in a 汉字。

I wish 我的中文是足够好 to understand 中文 TV. 老师小猪佩奇不是有趣的。

我正在学习中文。中文很难！

I took a break from learning Chinese for a while due to personal stuff being busy and am trying to get back into it. Chinese is a very logical language, I think, and learning it is fun and interesting but challenging. I was just about HSK1 level, I think, before I stopped. I gotta boot up peppa pig in mandarin again - 你好小猪佩奇老师，我是你的学生！

Yeah. Autopens have been used for like… 150 years or something? And they involve the president actually authorizing the signature, whereas Stephen Miller or some aide or somebody is just copying and pasting this shit on random documents

1. take your open chip bag

2. fold the top of the bag down about 2cm/1in. Do this 2 more times.

3. take the corners of the folded part and fold them toward the middle of the rolled part at an angle

4. the tricky part. We are going to invert the cuff we’ve made - like flip the folded part inside out. Push those corners in and flip the folded part over them.

Overton window got yeeted so far to the right it ended up hitting 88mph and travelling back to 1930s germany

hand gestures, trump voice It’s called ephuba… epheeba… ephebiolphilia, folks, look it up. These girls. Women. Beautiful women, because you know, I’m only attracted to beautiful. I ran the miss USA pagent for years, you know that? I’m very proud of it. They call me up sometimes and say, “Mr. Trump, the evil, socialist communist left says beauty pagents are wrong and we have to give awards to ugly ladies with nose rings. Please come back”. I have to tell them I’m just too busy saving America. But these women aren’t kids. They’re smart, intelligent ladies. The left hates beautiful women. They say “Donald is robbing the cradle he’s a pedophile”. That’s fake news. Fake. News. Children don’t have… well you know just look at these girls. They’re very well-endowed, these ladies and I won’t bow down to the evil communists. They’re the pedophiles folks. Why doesn’t anyone look into sleepy Joe sniffing all those girls’ hair - it’s creepy. But I’m attracted to beautiful. All the most beautiful things… you’ve seen my new bathroom, right? It’s the greatest bathroom in the history of indoor plumbing… Kim told me that on the phone yesterday. He said he could see it through the window in pictures.

Compliance does need to be considered. The company I work for is trying extremely hard to comply, but because of complexities and ambiguities in the law, it is difficult to find out how to comply. I don’t know all the details, but I know legal, compliance, and the data engineering teams spend a lot of time figuring out how to be compliant and there aren’t always clear answers.

That said, the solution is not to roll back protections but to be very explicit about how to comply.

Linda at the bottom there “I am pleased with the extralegal concentration camps, mass deportations, and arrest/abduction of citizens who just aren’t white enough. The jackbooted thugs with no legal oversight or accountability are great. But what else has he done for me lately?”

It stops taking as much effort eventually. Then you can tune out the noise and think about stuff. Or it never does because everyone is different, I guess, but then you just do what you have to do.

That’s true. But finding inner quiet is an even more necessary skill in those situations. But, I’m autistic (only mildly), so I totally get if the stimulation is just too much. Though I went through a lot of discomfort to be okay in environments like that.

It’s good to enjoy quiet and not be constantly surrounding yourself with noise. It’s an important skill to be able to sit in silence and not rely on external stimulation to feel okay.

I know several working class folks who grew up in the USSR who, while they admit it wasn’t perfect, were very happy with how things were then and - although some of them are now onboard the Pravda train to looneyville & love Putin and believe the Russian Orthodox church line that Ukraine is led by baby-eating, devil-worshipping, Nazi Pedophiles (not an exaggeration) - they admit things are much worse than they were then and place the blame squarely on moving away from communism & planned economy.

Because of strong social programs, they had access to good education, work & a high quality of life, and a level of recreation and leisure that seems wild to me as an American.

Communism is not a monolith. There are many tendencies. And YMMV depending on the folks in power, just like any system. Additionally, despots love to call themselves socialist/communist while doing nothing relating to seizing the means of production - look at Cambodia (Khmer Rouge) as an example.

Imagine if we asked folks “What’s your experience been like living in a capitalist regime”. Most people would think thats a weird question because of how many types of capitalist regimes exist - it’sa general economic framework, not a system of government. Your experience will vary wildly if you are from like rural Kenya vs the US vs Scandinavia.

Oh, well if that’s the primary goal - to eliminate food deserts - then hell yeah. Makes total sense

Yeah this was always my issue with it. I can understand the plan to drive down the price of goods with government subsidized competition, but that only works if it’s a highly available alternative.

Looks like bald nathan fielder

It does not. The legal system has essentially lost the ability to be a check on the power of the executive branch. Partly because of the capture of the judiciary and regulatory bodies by right-wing extremists and partly because of the speed at which the executive branch is acting illegally - it takes time to build cases and the jsutice system can’t keep up.

The “suffered from alcohol abuse” may have played a role here. I can’t imagine being so out of it on shrooms that you dismember yourself. But maybe it makes more sense if he was drunk too
