I’m also going to think the absinence-only education plays a role. I know people in their 20s today who didn’t understand: lube, protection, HIV, pregnancy. Some of them were HIV+ before they knew what happened. People are confused and uneducated. Thanks Christians!

No, you can’t blame consumers for corporations bad behavior, consumers act in their own self interest, not a collective self interest. This is precisely why we have regulations.

Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.

This is how I always was.

Then I sat down in Vegas at a machine and pulled a few times, while my husband sat next to me.

Every time he lost, I won.

A half hour later, I’m up $80 and vowing never to do this again, cause it suddenly makes sense.

Now I can’t hear the “Kroger Top-of-the-Hour Conditioning” noise without getting a slight dopamine rush.

This is interesting. I’ve been setting up our non-profit’s new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I’m hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it’s amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I’m pretty involved in my son’s life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I’ve ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

“Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!”

What? He’s being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.

What do you think Trump will do to poor people?

This is every bit the Dems who refused to vote Kamala because of her Palestinian stance - a purity test that helped ensure Trump won, and we’d sit and do nothing as a genocide occurred. But we sure showed Kamala, huh

He’s redistricting California which, now TWO red states are doing, but only one blue state has accomplished. Will any others?

Gavin has done what no one else is doing, punching back, speaking Trump’s language. It’s getting attention from all quarters. Meanwhile Dems are busy shutting him down preemptively because purity tests. It’s another fascinating move from the “we don’t want to govern” party.

Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

Which means soon we will have “Newsweek Writes a Headline Article Based on a Random Fucking Drama Post” stage and we can all monetize and walk away.

I wrote a very fiery letter that I’m sure a bot deleted about how it cheapened the phrase “violence” to have it be slung casually around at speech their shareholders don’t love.

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

You don’t act like they do - just the money hoarding beyond belief, not to mention releasing products they know cause mental harm - if you want everyone to be OK.

The shit they’re doing to the economy worries me less than the shit they’re doing to public health because the latter will be the the hastening of an already untimely end for … well, me. I can be broke (and am damn close) but I would prefer to be alive.

Shh we’ll get to that in due time, we’re still doing “This 4th quarter may not be the BEST ever but it’s an investment” which has a certain nonsensical peacefulness about it, like the feeling of weightlessness before you impact the ground.

Oh my God trump thinks he’s trading Alaska for Greenland. It just clicked.

Sir Anthony Hopkins recorded this still for the purposes of the meme, and we salute him for it. He then played a 66-minute piano concerto for his cat.

Hell if it got you talking long enough, he might offer to help write you suicide note and get you some rope.
