She’s a terrible rep, she sounds like a tasteless, exhausting, stupid person, yet she does not stand accused of victimizing anyone the way, say, Swalwell is.
So her stance here may be what some would call “ironic,” but I don’t think its hypocritical.
“Look what you made me do” is an abuser’s refrain.
You have to let me bring them into the store, they’re my emotional support wolves
Congress: In that case, best I can do is another $50 billion
Why weren’t they going after this 10 years ago? I think I’ve just gotten into the habit of “open in new tab” because I know there’s a good chance “back” won’t do what I want.
Frankly, here on PieFed, “back” to a feed isn’t very useful, because you’ll just land somewhere in the feed, not back to the place where you started. “Open in new tab” solves that as well, for certain very small values of “solves.”
They weren’t all so refined and classy, you know. That’s why we talk about the “Wisdom of the ain’t-gents.”
“Support me politically, or I will do stuff that will hurt the kids living in my own country” was Putin’s thing back in 2012.
This regime brought to you by the “Culture Of Life ™.”
Maybe, maybe not.
The question I have is: How is this the best way for a non-profit to shape and steward the open web?
It’s well known. Trump attended Norman Vincent Peale’s church as a child. Here’s one story about it, there are others:
How Norman Vincent Peale Taught Donald Trump to Worship Himself (2015)
“I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,” Trump told the Iowa Family Leadership Summit in July. “You could listen to him all day long. And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy.” A month later, in the same news conference at which Trump tossed out Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, he again referred to Peale as his pastor and said he was “one of the greatest speakers” he’d ever seen.
He’s long been an admirer of “The Power Of Positive Thinking.” Some of his statements and reversals seem like a natural fit with his solipsistic version of that philosophy. And this is one of them.
“Athens” is such a popular name for small towns in the US that New York state has two places named “Athens.”
“Wow that’s dumb,” you say. And sure sure, you’ve got a point.
But what will you say when you find out Pennsylvania has three?
“Jesus H. Christ, that’s idiotic,” you say. And I can’t argue.
But you will be rendered speechless by the news that my own state of Ohio has four localities named “Athens.”
…if you don’t count the one named “New Athens.”
I’m not making this up.
OK, yes, “Schrödinger’s Blockade” is better.
I was profoundly skeptical when someone in my household brought home some “Cheese Storage Bags” that appeared to be made of wax paper. They cost around a dollar apiece, and since there’s really no way to clean them, they’re pretty much disposable. Insane scam, I thought. Someone just loves shopping, I thought.
But no, they absolutely worked, hard cheeses keep in the deli drawer way better in those bags. In the past I had tried wrapping cheese in wax paper or parchment paper, with little success. The stupid cheese bags were so much better. I can’t explain. Still mad about it. Also we need more cheese bags.
We’re changing the name to “Schrödinger’s Strait”

It is a pastiche of [thing], more than an actual [thing] itself.
This is exactly what “AI” does, this is precisely what it’s for
I know that there’s a lot of crazy to unpack, here, but can we talk about the grass for a second? Just how much soda did he pour on his lawn? To make him think of soda as some kind of grass killer?
Court orders that the regime doesn’t like are meaningless.
We defined cash savings as checking accounts that people consider savings, savings accounts, money market accounts, brokerage/investment accounts (nonretirement), certificates of deposit (CDs) and cash at home.

I first saw these comments here
There’s been so much inflation that $3/gallon would be really cheap, even for gasoline in the US, by the standards of the last 20 years or so. A very arbitrary number to get stuck on.
US Average Gasoline Price Adjusted for Inflation
$4/gallon just isn’t that high, not much out of line with the last ~15 years.
I think higher fuel prices could be the impetus for quite a lot of alternative energy, alternative transport, and electrification investment. I think if you believe that free markets work, you’d really have to agree.
