Yeah, if I were in her shoes, it would be impossible not to imagine my dad chuckling to himself as he slipped his mortal bonds, smug with satisfaction at having pulled the longest, pettiest prank possible on your kid. That piece of paper would be a treasure.

Something hot in an open bowl sounds like the worst food to eat in a shower TBH.

I'd go with something cold in a tube, like an ice pop. Or maybe a beer in one of those fancy insulated tumblers with a closeable lid.

This really epitomizes the smug attitude where they pretend their cruelty is actually kindness.

It's one thing to say "Sorry, your lifestyle is not compatible with our faith."

But they have to go with "Sure, we'll accept you as long as you recognize that you're a disgusting freak. Isn't that accepting and generous of me?"

I've come to wank with you again.

I've always thought it would be an interesting experiment for all (or most) proposed laws to be written as though they were scientific experiments, complete with:

  • Hypothesis (what is the law intended to accomplish?),
  • Metrics (how will effectiveness be measured),
  • Effectiveness period (when will these effects be realized?)
  • Success cnriteria (what is the minimum effect to consider the law effective?)
  • Side effects (what might go wrong, and how will that be evaluated?)

There's probably lots that does not cover, but the main idea is that any new law comes with quantitative ways to determine its effectiveness against its stated goals. Any law that does not meet those goals in the predefined time period is scrapped.

But again, as Zeppo said, without an informed and interested electorate, it's all pretty much moot.

Isn't that just kind of... how names are supposed to work?

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 57 points 10 months ago

"Backordered" or "On backorder" are the normal usages as an adjective.

But "In backorder" would also be perfectly understandable.

On a scale from "a lot" to "all of them", how many marijuanas did you inject before you typed this out? 😂

Glad you finally found the courage to speak up! If there was one thing I felt was missing from Reddit, it was people sharing how much they disliked certain web comics.

Two sides of the same coin, honestly.

Anti-"woke" means refusing to acknowledge the presence of systematic injustice.

"Law & Order" is the dogwhistle for cranking up the tangible effects of systematic injustice.

RTFA. There are a whole list of exceptions, and appliance bulbs are the first bullet point.
