Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can't make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?
I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.
Now that I have a phone, I think it's kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.
Tangentially, isn't the phrase, "WITH abandon," to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?
That's a really interesting photo. I like the way you captured some dramatic light and played with focus planes. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have over the years. This is an interest that will actually take you places and make you try things you never thought you'd do before. Have a great time finding beauty in the world and sharing it with people.
Anachronox. Ion Storm at it's best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I've still never seen many games match to this day. I don't know why it didn't become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can't recommend it enough.
Obligatory: Uncle Tom was actually a good guy. The idea that he was some kind of traitor or such comes from a crappy adaptation of the book. In the actual book he dies to save some other slaves.

- They're great. You'll be surprised how often you'll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn't in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.
I think it's important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.
Okay it's a little more expensive than I thought, but c'mon man!
What is that, 3lbs 223 oz?
If we're going that far, then no radio or person either. Black holes have disappeared from Hawking radiation, protons have all decayed, and the distribution of energy is so even and so rarified no exchange can happen, so literally nothing can happen.
If we allow a magic radio, we can allow a magic air bubble.
Isn't this judge Juan Merchan? If he identifies differently, my apologies, but I feel like the MAGAs would have mentioned that in their frothing rage.
Jury reaches verdict in Trump case
A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records he faced in his New York hush money criminal trial.
JUST IN: The jury has reached a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York. The verdict will be read in court shortly. The 12-person jury has been considering whether Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which are all connected to the alleged cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The jury must be unanimous in its decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case and denies the affair with Daniels.
🤔 a gameshow for newlyweds, you say? I wonder what someone might call that...
Oh! And we may get rid of Non-compete agreements because the FTC just voted to recommend a ban.
His FCC brought back net Neutrality. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net-neutrality-fcc/
His CFPB put up limits to anti-consumer terms for payday loans and bank fees. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-cfpb-is-cleaning-up-junk-fees/
His administration raised fees for oil drilling in several major areas, although he also approved a large number of drilling permits so this may be a wash. https://apnews.com/article/oil-gas-drilling-public-lands-interior-climate-ffc88438d6f9c5d48e9a8fc7cffc749a
The UAW endorsed Biden. This gets weird, because many blame Biden for ending the rail strike, which he did, and which echoes the Bush Sr. Foul play with ATCs and pilots. But in exchange for ending the strike they got nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. Fain plays hardball and has probably gotten more for unions and their members than almost anyone, if he's okay with Biden, I'm inclined to agree.

Thanks. While I think I agree with the overall sentiment expressed in the meme, stating it this way just plays into the conservative paranoia that crime is way up and violence is increasing. The only major category of crime that's up is vehicle theft.
If we want to effectively combat all the misinformation and right-wing fear rhetoric we have to be consistent, and on the same page with putting truthful information in our own rhetoric.
"As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic "manliness.""
I agree and so does Aunty Donna:

Yes, it took eighty years but they eventually realized making their Yakuza affiliation obvious to everyone could hinder some of the criming.
