It helps when everywhere in that mile radius (and more) is considered walking distance in much of Europe, but Americans would rather drive.

The selfish narcissistic philandering judgemental racist pedo isn’t christ-like???

Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?

You don’t know how to use the three seashells?

I hope the next President makes two changes to the WH:

1. Restore the previous incarnation of the East Wing, but with a plaque listing all the people and companies that supposedly paid for it, labeled “In remembrance of these individuals that bribed the President.”

2. Leave the paved-over Rose Garden, and rename it to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Concrete Slab.

He’s also pretty big on people sticking their nose so far up his ass he could kiss them on the lips.

Not necessarily relevant to the people mentioned in this post, but broadly speaking, there were lots of immigrants to the US between 1930 and 1950 that very intentionally changed the spelling or pronunciation of their names to look and sound less German and Italian.

I’ll admit, I only made it through part B. This is where you think that because you are the only one to have this thought, it must be a simulation. It doesn’t actually mean that, but that’s irrelevant anyway because you aren’t: The Anthropic Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle) is a well-known part of cosmology and philosophy.

Living at only one point in time doesn’t have any greater meaning. Flip this the other way: imagine you have a minimal amount of hand-eye coordination, and you can hit a dart board, but not enough to hit a specific number. So you throw a dart and hit a 3. The chances of that are 1/20, and the chances you hit the very specific spot on that 3 is astronomically smaller. That doesn’t mean it’s special, it’s just where you hit.

Your observations and experiences aren’t meaningful because they’re planned, they’re meaningful because they’re yours, and you couldn’t have them at any other time.

People are complicated, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a gay man being a true far-right christian in 2025. There are religions compatible with being LGBT, but it’s just hard to reconcile that with modern christo-fascism.

Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.

It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.

I choose to believe it was a disabled diabetic person who ordered one candy bar. They needed to quickly regulate blood sugar and couldn’t get themselves out of the house alone and in time.

Paying a few extra dollars would be a small price to pay.
