there’s no one to blame that doesn’t have an R by their name.

Are you kidding? They’ll be scapegoating Biden’s corpse so long and so hard even the DNC will blush. And then there’s always Obama as a backup plan.

Life is cake when absolutely nothing is your fault.

It’s a good thing we don’t have the gubmint compiling lists of, say, neurodivergent folks, so everything’s all nice and ready when the time comes.

When Apple announces a feature that Samsung phones don’t have, Samsung also trolls them because that feature is bad. And then a year later, Samsung advertises that they also have that feature.

Toxic positivi-tea.

Adulthood doubles the frames: add one with no bench, and one with someone putting a bench in front of the child. The conclusion doesn’t change: it’s the kid’s fault for tripping over the bench. We just collectively ignore that the kid was fine until someone put a bench in the way.

So, all the uploaders deserve a ban?

Plot twist: the toddler has a multi-year marketing push worth tens if not hundreds of millions, which convinced a lot of people who don’t know the first thing about chess that it really is very impressive, and all those chess-types are just jealous.

The narrative, as I understand it, is that the dictatorship they fled is the left, so left bad, right good. Doesn’t matter that the political “left” in the US is center-right.

It’s brain-dead tribalism all the way down.

And then hung. Also comically.

Anything to bring a smile during rough times.

Huh, I didn’t know people anyone even painted with baby oil.

Resource hidden where we can’t see it? Best to assume it’s infinite and there will be no repercussions.

Last night was bad (far east side of toronto… like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

I grew up constantly surrounded by the latter and knew when I smelled the former that the adults were about to act like idiots. I think I’d rather lose my sense of smell than have to endure either consistently.

And just look at all those anchor babies.

The problem is that there are people behind the scenes goose-stepping on regardless.

This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there’s always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y’all have done so far.

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.
