“Ain’t no rules says the dog can’t hire a hooker.”

It said they lobbied for it, which means that the politicians don’t care, so they give them something they do care about so that they support it anyway, namely money.

It’s the whole reason 99% of politicians choose that career in the first place. All they have to do is look like they don’t support something that the wealthy want them to support, and they’ll be given buckets of money to sway their vote.

I had to learn this quick when I lived in Philadelphia for a couple years. Works great everywhere else, too!

She probably assumes the landing location is entirely random, which is ridiculous to anyone who has even the slightest understanding of the amount of planning needed for space travel, but those people and the people who believe space travel is fake are not the same people.

I was very lucky my family had a Mac growing up. I fell for just about every scam as a kid.

I was never great at history, but I seem to recall Alexander Hamilton being a big supporter of capitalism.

I wake up at 5 for my workout simply because I’m a morning person, and I like getting it out of the way first thing. It’s also a nice, calm time, which helps me rest more effectively between reps. Plus I’m still half asleep when I start, so I skip over the feelings of “I don’t want to do this,” since I’m already doing it by the time I’m awake enough to have those thoughts.

Yeah, I read that rule and was worried those would have to stop. I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve seen so far, and would like to see similar posts be allowed to continue.

It’s certainly the place that needs the message the most, though the chances anyone would listen is virtually zero.

Just grabbed a couple albums from the Tejon Street Corner Thieves the other day - good stuff! I’ll have to give those other bands a listen as well!

It felt like they were trying to pack so much symbolism in that it all got too convoluted, and I rarely understood what exactly was going on. I could tell that they were trying to say something profound, but it felt like an artist trying to make a realistic painting with fingerpaint - the medium just didn’t suit the message. But maybe it was just over my head.

People really underutilize their toes. I’m anything but flexible, but I use my toes to grab small or squishy stuff like this all the time. I can even open a door with my foot if I’m carrying stuff with both hands while barefoot, though it took a lot of practice and still comes with a chance to fall.

People think “free” means “I can do whatever I want,” but really it usually means “people with more power than me can do whatever they want to me.”

In what way?

Morality is subjective, and as a result moral condemnation carries no weight to anyone but those who already agree with the condemnation. Condemnation isn’t meant to directly change the behavior of those who disagree, it’s meant to spur those who agree into taking action to combat what they view as immoral.

Updates, too. Games had to actually be in their final state before they could be sold.

As a dude who uses a photo of my wife about to bite into a big turkey leg as my phone background, they’re the best photos to use. Nothing’s more fake than a photo of someone posing and putting on a fake smile, and we’re one of the few who get to see some of the real ones, like this one. We cherish that.

My mom went from stage “0” DCIS to dying of stage 4 breast cancer in just 3 years while attempting to treat it with scam therapies.

When it was stage 2 she tried to treat it with localized vibration therapy, where her therapist used a massage gun on the area to try to resonate her body with the “healing frequency of the universe.”

Given that the stage 2-3 jump is when cancer cells begin to dislodge from the first affected lymph node into the lymphatic system and spread throughout the body, I’m fairly certain her “treatment” significantly accelerated that jump.
