The picture for this article is vicious mockery of Christians everywhere!

How was anyone supposed to know that Christians secretly adopted long tables as a holy symbol and that gathering behind them is now a sin?

Biden doesn't control the fed. It's an independent entity.

This is something I'm currently struggling with. I rent a house and the roof is leaking in two different rooms. Problem is that last time I had the landlord do any repairs he increased my rent by $300 a month. I know that having a leaky roof is damaging his property, but it's only a minor inconvenience for me at the moment.

I'm not about to spend an extra $6,000+ a year just to preserve his property when I can keep it from bothering me with a tack, some string, and a pitcher for the water to go into.

I'm sitting here wondering.. Do you think a bidet uses the water currently in the bowl? Or that it sprays through that water? Because it doesn't.

You do realize that lots of people have friends that perform parenting roles with their kids, right? E.g. Couples who are friends that each babysit for each other.
The event of the friendship ending has the same psychological effect on the children as having a poly partner leave the relationship.

A lot of these imagined "harms" and weird situations are regular events that people already experience. It's the defamiliarization of seeing it in a setting that you perceive as weird that makes it seem harmful and/or weird.

Those were progressive Republicans. The party Lincoln started was progressive at the time.

The current Republican party is conservative, but that wasn't always the case.

Expanding on this it could be that women deal with catastrophe (e.g. SA/rape) much earlier in life so later catastrophes are perceived as imminently survivable.

Memmy has a broken implementation of instance filtering that currently needs to be configured on every startup, but it exists. Hopefully it will eventually be meaningfully functional. Precisely for the instance you mentioned.

For some people last in line is the best spot. Think about it: everyone else is getting pressure to get done and get out. No pressure for the last guy, and fewer people watching.

I recently built a 3D printer where the entire community for it lives on Discord. Their website instructions are horrifically out of date because all of the current changes have been discussed at some point on Discord. What should have been a 2-4 day project turned into a 2-3 week project due to the garbage involved in trying to strain information out of a massive multi-channel group chat with terrible search.
