So is all kinds of shit. Doesn’t mean it isn’t safer for adults than smoking.

Why in the fuck would you ban vaping? I mean unless cigarettes are ALSO banned.

If you have a good enough soloist, that’ll make the audience horny even under normal circumstances!

The good news with Carmina Burana is that, like the turning of the fortune’s wheel, it just starts over when it gets to the end. Movement 25 is identical to movement 1. But be careful if it plays for over four hours.

Verdi’s Dies Irae

Woof, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that.

I’ve never bothered myself. Not enough equity gained in my house and still too much mortgage to pay off. But I know my neighbors have had success with the process, as have my parents.

What you do gain is equity. And while that equity can’t be used to pay for a new house, it can be borrowed against cheaply.

A second mortgage, such as a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit, means you can use some of that value in your house for big purchases or projects without the higher interest rates you would pay for other types of loans or a credit card.

It’s one of the reasons home ownership is financially superior to renting, even if your monthly payment might not be that different. Owning property has inherent value.

Not surprising, since Tina Fey was in both this and the scene that inspired Daughter or Mistress!

🤣

There’s nothing wrong with being out with your daughter. The game is inspired by a 30 Rock scene where they say “I hope she’s his daughter” and then they kiss and it’s “I hope she’s his mistress!”

When I worked at a restaurant we would occasionally play “America’s FAVORITE game show: DAUGHTER OR MISTRESS?”

Well yeah, someone spent a lot of time on it.

Anything is better than Liquid Glass

Strongly disagree.

I know it became a meme, but I love Liquid Glass. It’s never been an issue for me to read (in practice, anyway, as there were some examples in the announcement video that were hard to read but I assume those were from earlier builds).

The refraction is beautiful, the contrast is sufficient, it delivers on the promise Windows Aero made but could never achieve.

Plus I welcome with open arms a return to skeuomorphism. Controls appearing to have depth is so much nicer than the flat look everyone used for so long. I also love the jiggling that menus do when you touch them. 😁

Are we confident it isn’t AI?

I don’t ask this because I think it is. I ask this because audio is pretty damn easy to fake these days, and Candace Owens has no love for Erika Kirk.

Confirmation bias is really powerful, I just want to make sure we’re considering the source. But I am not an expert and would be thrilled by someone explaining how we know it’s real.

100%, I’m in no way making a value statement about the kind of man Buck Angel is.

I just use him as an example because of his extremely masculine appearance, not because of anything to do with who he is as a person.

Buck Angel enters the bathroom the law requires him to use.

Conservative CIS women who supported the bathroom bill:

Oh no! My speculative buying of shitloads of MTG cards to make money selling the good ones is failing! People might have access to the best cards without spending copious amounts of money to middlemen! It’s very dangerous to the game if people can be good at it without it being rich!

Don’t be afraid to like stuff. The internet is often diametrically opposed to liking stuff, because SOMEONE doesn’t like it, and they’re going to be the loudest voice.

That’s pretty much what I mean.

This post is insinuating that a number of the people upset now should have been upset when it wasn’t white people dying.

And I agree. Many of us were already upset.

But making that point this way is unhelpful. It feels like potentially a way to divide those who are trying to resist. “I was angry before it was mainstream, you new protesters are racists.”

Which could very well not be the intention of the person making the point. They could be trying to simply say, “Understand that people had already been killed, and if you knew that and weren’t angry, be better” or something.

But it is so incredibly easy to make people in big tents infight and focus on idealogical purity rather than uniting to fight the opposition. And it’s something we need to avoid if we want to be successful.

When it comes to fighting fascism, my enemy’s enemy is my friend.

So on the assumption that this comic was posted in good faith, I think merciful correction or gentle disagreement is more useful.
