The problem is that he joined the especially notoriously infamously corrupt and evil side, dumbass.

Oh no, poor guy had literally no choice but to participate in a corrupt system by going into politics and becoming a mayor 😭

Get the fuck outta here.

Do you think that being in close proximity to a school shooting increases the risk of a school shooting?

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

-Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

I mean I can’t speak for anyone else, but I absolutely love a good infodump! Nothing gets me excited about a topic like listening to someone who is clearly so enthusiastic and passionate about it. It’s one of the best parts of life. Thanks again and I hope you continue!

So true. Spend any amount of time with domesticated or wild animals, and you’ll realize how they all have unique personalities, preferences, habits, sensitivities and quirks, just like people do. I fully believe they have feelings just like us, even if they probably can’t think about them in the same way we do. I think we are much more alike than we are different.

I’m loving all the bonus facts, thanks so much!

She/he looks coy 🥲

You absolutely should, it’s a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

Yep, all the black ink on my nearly-complete traditional sleeve (so… lots) had a spontaneous granulomatous reaction this year. They were all at least a few years old.

It’s currently healing thanks to a topical steroid, but I have yet to see if it stays away for any significant length of time. I can’t even have them removed (not that I want to), lest the ink enters my bloodstream and lodges in some gland somewhere. Black ink reactions are super rare; my derm had never seen one in person.

My artist even uses one of the few approved-in-the-EU inks, go figure.

Oh no, I always thought they washed up like seashells! Poor things.

Some recipes depend on the dough being mixed just until the ingredients are combined, and not any longer. Other commenters are saying that overmixing cookies can warm the butter too much. With some recipes, like muffins, mixing creates gluten chains that lead to chewey-ness and toughness. So in order to avoid that you stop mixing asap.

Baking is a chemical reaction and the quantities, order, and methods really do have a huge impact on the result!

Oh no, what has Tina Fey done? I’m trying to think back on 30 Rock and I can imagine how some of it hasn’t aged well.

It’s considered unethical

Uh yeah and it fucking should be, jesus christ.

I’ve been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were “awake” and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

I think your friend is full of shit.

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there’s only two parties, they’re both to the right of center, and they’re both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we’re all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Someone who is attacking you is attempting to enforce a hierarchy/authority on you. Defending yourself is rejecting that hierarchy/authority. If you were to attack back, then I would say you were trying to impose your authority on another. But self defense alone only brings one back to equal footing, where neither party has authority over the other.

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?
