Though here can be a counterpoint to that. If they plant new trees to take the spot of the old one, it can be a net positive. Growing trees capture more carbon than grown trees.

One of my high school buddies worked at TJ Max. One of his duties was to repackage underwear that people had tried on. He said that one time he repackaged a pair that had somebody’s name sharpied in the waistband.

I’d vote for The Fart Song by Toilet Bowl Cleaners, but to each their own.

Does anybody actually think that this is about fairness in women’s sports? Is anybody fooled into thinking that these are good faith arguments? These conservatives are the same people who have been mocking women’s sports for decades. Hell, the conservative establishment is trying to dismantle Title IX right fucking now.

No. These conservatives just think that trans people are icky and want to make their lives harder. They just learned that they can’t say that.

Well, if you don’t consider immigrants to be people…

As one of the great poets of our generation said, “they want feudalism for the world at large, and socialism for the ones in charge”

“Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal."

Holy shit, we’re giving a visa to a non-white person?

Well, we were on bye this week.

Oh thank fuck.

Fuck!

You!

If you figure it out, please let me know.

I seriously have a broccoli crown on my floor that I can’t bring myself to throw away. Fluffy little fucker loves it.

I watch NFL and MLB, so those are the leagues I can speak on. If you’re actively playing, you’re insured. Doesn’t really matter, though, since all the teams have their own medical staff, so there’s no expense to insure against.

After you retire, depends on the league, depends on the union. MLB players union is crazy strong. If you play in one MLB game, you get medical insurance for life. You also get a pension of you play some small number of games (50ish?).

NFL players union is much weaker, relatively. If you play in 3 games per year, you get insurance for the following the years. After that, you’re on your own.

I thought that most of the movie was somewhere between fine and fun, but that casino planet sequence was so unbearably bad that it soured the entire movie for me. I thought it was poorly-done, ham-handed social commentary awkwardly shoehorned into a strangely long sequence. And then at the end of it, they were in the exact same position they were at the beginning. It took a huge chunk of the second act, and it basically amounted to nothing.

Most ADHD medication (ritalin, etc) is basically just medical grade methamphetamine.

I threw a plastic bottle in the trash about 4 years ago. I’m clearly the problem.

There’s no bad onramp to that world. Very few of the books require you to have read the others, and there isn’t much of a strict chronology. Apparently Pratchett recommended that people start with Sourcery, but that’s not set in stone.
