Like layers of collapsing realities as the consciousnesses filter out to ones they're still alive in. Simulation is running out of wholly unique universes so it starts to let close enough do. Now we have to deal with Berenstain/Berenstein and people who have broken logic for this reality.

I'd argue his job is to listen to his constituents, and since through his actions or inactions this person is coming to harm, that he is not listening. Perhaps he should "Shut the fuck up and listen." The problem is that while she's talking, he's not listening. He's just waiting for her to stop talking so he can tell her that she's wrong. This has been a big problem with the establishment of Democrats for a very long time.

Its a green lacewing! Thats a good sign, cause their demon offspring of larva will eat every insect on your plants, even each other! It's wild, the departure in physical appearance from the larva to the adult. If anyone thinks that these look familiar, this is what the larva in Grounded are based off of.

Oh I feel you there, what I've started to do is tell them they don't get to complain because they got exactly what they wanted. I remind them that they knew this was going to happen and insist that they knew because I told them as much. Then every time they complain about it repeat that process. They either start listening or stop complaining. Either is an improvement over them complaining about their own choices.

Actually, there's a pretty solid chance that a significant asteroid hitting Earth could create enough ejected material to cause serious issues for habitation facilities on the Moon.

All these other people are completely right, but also I just took mine off and flipped it so that the holes were on top it gave me a solid two inches more water space. It was just two phillips screws.

A username field isn't for your real name, it's for a username and it has always been for that. Stop being intentionally obtuse.

What's to stop them from using all of the required user fields and then running a background fingerprinting check and then using that fingerprint every single time you visit a site? It doesn't have to be your real date of birth. What matters is that it's a consistent info for your user account so that they can identify who you are. Obviously there are other ways to fingerprint a user, but this just makes it easier to do so, and it's another unnecessary datapoint for "them" to use.

People are defending this with such fervor, too, that it really makes a person doubt whether they're even arguing against actual humans. Like, I can see why people would be against general change or against privacy invasion, but why would someone care so much about defending a date of birth field?

Time is exactly why a lot of people in America choose to drive. Public transit practically doesn't exist, or would take two hours to go about a 30 minute drive bleeding away all your time. I just checked, and there's not even a bus that runs close to when I go in. It costs $4 and over two hours. I'd have to arrive more than six hours early to take the bus. And that's with the bus stop, literally in the parking lot of the business.

America needs to decuple their public transportation spending for about a decade just for us to catch up with the developed world.

My wife was personally offended when I read her your comment. I thought you would enjoy knowing.

They might actually enjoy those. I found best effect by using something else that they might consider diminutive. Kiddo, sport, Buck, "little man". If they get too upset, you can always pass it off as, "oh, sorry. That's what I call my sibling/kid/nephew" etc. Which is the same bullshit reasoning they tend to give us "oh sorry, it's just how you look though."
