unfortunately, “4-20” has much more of a ring than “20-of-4”

also it starts a turf war when you challenge the American date format

harmful tech such as knives / swords

haha. that was my exact thought as well: looks like a nice banana hammock

I use water to escape the emotional state of feeling dehydrated. and I exercise to escape the emotional state of wishing I was more physically healthy.

just throwing around the “addiction” term like this is extremely damaging to yourself and those who suffer from real addictions

I’ve got a problem with articles like this: “The guy who got it right once is betting a second time he’s going to get it right”. and then the article continues: “Even though he’s got it wrong a bunch of times since, he got it right that one time… So this has gotta be his second time!!”

Do I read this right? You’re saying “the right is winning because they’re posting clickbait bullshit (technical term here, not just a sloppy swear) consumed in memes or tiktok-style videos”?

Aren’t you terrified that’s the life so many (and I think you’re putting yourself in this camp as well) are choosing to live?

Why don’t y’all just do this everywhere? I mean, it’s not that hard. Just make it a fun tiktok meme and there’s bound to be enough trigger-happy Guardsmen to make a point.

“Why don’t you rise up against them?” Well… because that’s scary

“Why don’t you do more nonviolent protests?” Well… because that requires us to do something and we’d rather sit on our couch

Ah. makes sense now

Double tap for “I see everything with Jason Statham just on principle”

Christian Science as well. It’s eerie how many overlaps they have with Mormons: founded by a single person (Mary Baker Eddystone), have a book they treat as scripture (Science and Health), believe they are the “one true way”, and tell people to “pray to know if the book [and the religion] is true”

So eerie, in fact, that it was the final nail in the head (so to speak) that allowed me to leave Mormonism for good

there’s a very important video on the measurement rules in the UK, if you haven’t seen it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNh9z3IzG8t/

My partner is in her 30s, works 4 days as a school teacher, and just bought her first house in London. It’s possible!

(I don’t need to add that I’m in tech and have a very convenient salary, since that’s not at all related, right?)

eh, we’ve got pubs and chips.

oh also went back to the States last week and was appalled that a pint can cost upwards of $10 when a decade ago it was only $6 (London prices have stayed around £6-7). throw on the whole tip racketeering insanity and I’d much rather be in England.

Your second point is really difficult for me as a parent with a new kid. Feels like we “know” so much more about serial killers / bad things that happen to kids that we’re terrified of letting them do anything.

Of course in this case it would have been trivially solved by the city just adding sidewalks, but that feels like another point here.

“June 6 is when school gets out in… uh… all the places where the children are using this AI thingy. Right.”

There’s a pretty trivial rule for getting this right. Phrase your sentence using who/whom as a question. Respond with he/him. If your response contains a “he”, your initial statement should be “who”; if it contains a “him” then you’re looking at a “whom” use.

• ex: “To who/whom should the gold be given?” -> “To him” -> “whom”
• ex: “Who/whom wants the gold?” -> “He wants the gold” -> “who”
• ex: “Who/whom did you see at the party?” -> “I saw him” -> “whom”
• ex: “The man who/whom called earlier is here” -> “Who/whom called?” -> “he called” -> “who”

I don’t understand why you’re getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made

this seems cool, but… so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids…

you mean “the moment they’re conceived”, right? adulthood starts at conception obv

I took German in high school, and while I understand maybe 60% of the words, 90% of the (what I assume to be critical) context is lost on me
