Universities have fight songs, colors, turf, hierarchical structures. They call their grunts students. They call the leader the president. The head honchos who report to the leader are the vice presidents and deans. Members can be in their own subsections they call Greek, and many of them have historically had initiation rituals.

In conclusion, universities are just state-sponsored, state-sanctioned gangs.

What's your alma mater, cuh?

/s. Obviously.

The Left loses the Right as soon as bike lanes are tied into identity politics. Multimodal equity is simply “freedom of movement” to a Republican.

Bruh. Are you fucking kidding me? Everyone who has been arguing for bike lanes and public transit has been calling it something along the lines of freedom of movement for years. We've been mocking how "muh freedum" people also see a veritable tank as the only reasonable means of getting from place to place, and oppose everything else. You DO NOT need knobby tires and 4WD and a 6 inch lift to go to Sam's Club. You'll be perfectly fine doing it in a stock Toyota Corolla.

I did once. The quarter fell onto some solder points and short circuited a bunch of stuff. Fried the whole machine. This was back in the early 90s, of course, when a typical computer cost as much as a nice used car and maybe four people in the county had one, much less knew how to fix one. Some original joke about getting beaten with jumper cables. Sometimes the hard lessons are the ones that stick with you most because as I got older, I learned how to solder and perform board level repairs. It's an insanely useful skill.

Holy shit that's a lotta pancakes. I don't have a dog in this fight so just sign my fat ass up for a stack that big of which ever one you got.

Oh, and don't forget. It didn't snow anywhere this year, and the coastal cities are beginning to flood. Not that it's something you have to worry about since you live inland, but it would sure be nice if it wasn't 127°F outside or if it'd just rain a little for the first time since maybe February.

Thank you for the extra bits. I might have been bored if there was only just a meme here, but because of the game footage, body cam video, and Family Guy clip, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time.

I might also have missed the punchline, but you highlighted it in such a way as to be compatible with my rotted brain.

Excellent shitpost.

Dolly's version is a bunch of strong emotions you're just barely managing to hold back.

Whitney's version is a bunch of strong emotions you're absolutely letting out.

Both are incredible and deserved their spots at the top of the charts.

How's he feel about the Bible's teachings with regard to interest on loans?

From Leviticus 25

35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor,...then you shall help him... 36 Take no usury or interest from him... 37 You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.

Or are we just cherry picking again?

I don't have a Thinkpad myself. I do have a 10 year old Acer Aspire V3-372T. It's a perfectly cromulent laptop. I use it to listen to podcasts and YouTube. I check my emails sometimes. I check weather.gov. I have a copy of my music library. I write my personal budgets. It has a touchscreen that I never use. I get around just fine.

One day, I'll either get a Thinkpad or a Framework.

I've got nothing but love for the Mazda NB Miata and the MX-6. The Subaru SVX was also dope.

Nissan is easy to glaze because the S13 is probably the most sought out neoclassic car that isn't the GT-R or Supra, but so much of their other stuff from the time gets overlooked. Like the Sentra SE-R or the Pulsar. The S-Cargo is my favorite because the joke is so layered. It's a cargo van that looks like a snail, and its name is pronounced escargot.

It's so cute, and I love it.

I went straight from Ubuntu to Debian. It still took me a little bit to go from GNOME to KDE. I would not recommend new Linux users go straight to Debian from their first distro, but I'd been using Ubuntu on and off again since 2012 so when I decided to leave Windows in 2024, I also decided to leave Ubuntu for good and went straight to Debian. The idea that I set it and forget it and never have to worry about it was (and is) so appealing to me.

I've considered running Slack on my laptop, though.
