I got an estimate to fix my car and the guy doing it kept talking and talking. He was mostly pleasant, but I have a hard time with long interactions with people who don't know me.

I'm fairly certain I'm neurodivergent because "being normal" is exhausting for me. When I'm with people who know me, I'm fine, I could conversate for hours. But with strangers I feel like I'm an actor in a play I really don't want to be in.

Saw this police narrative in a Maine State court opinion:

spoilerAt 7:45 a.m. on July 7, 2023, an officer of the Cumberland Police Department was traveling east on Tuttle Road in an unmarked cruiser. He observed two individuals riding bicycles side-by-side ahead of him, also traveling east. Ray was riding to the left of the other cyclist and slightly to the left of the white fog line. Upon catching up to the cyclists, the officer slowed down and traveled behind them at approximately seventeen miles per hour for a short period of time. The officer then pulled his vehicle up beside the cyclists and said, “Single file, guys, single file.” Ray then yelled, “You can go f**k yourself.” The officer applied his brakes and activated the blue lights on his cruiser, and both cyclists pulled over to the side. The officer issued Ray a violation summons and complaint for failure to keep to the right of the road.
The violation was thrown out because the law is vague as to what "right side of the road" means; Meaning, is it to the right of the lane, or right of the road?

I wonder when we'll hear from all the congresspeople and judges who bitched about the Biden admin asking Meta to remove COVID misinformation.

Lol, jk

Edit: Or when the Hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed for less than one day and they bitched and held hearings about it for 2 years.

Congrats!

I truly believe that willpower is like a muscle, the more you exercise it the stronger it gets.

Who said they want to control everything you do? We're talking about sports gambling

Anyone ever read Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow? It was in a stack of books destined for the trash, I didn't even read the synopsis fully, I just grabbed it because I enjoy gilded era aesthetics. It was really good, I ended up reading it in 2 days.

I'm curious what other people think about it.

I am so ready for local apples. Supermarket apples have been garbage lately. Even fujis, which are usually consistently mid, have been mealy trash.

It's the worst when people get up to go to the bathroom. Wear a diaper like a true cinema fan

I get why Republicans think inflation is a good thing to campaign on, but what are they saying they'll do about it? It made more sense when they were blaming it on the stimulus checks, but nobody thinks more checks are coming, and Trump did the stimulus checks.

Maybe American voters are just stupid enough that saying "shit is all fucked up" when the opposition is in power earns a vote.

Logic of progressive Democrats:

We can't anger the donors, because if we can't get elected, we can't do anything about the problems the donors are creating.

Repeat until you retire and take lucrative board seats
