Oh I’m getting lit either way
Oh I’m getting lit either way
Finally, some meaningful reform!
For one, it sounds like they oppose corrupt courts, so that’s a plus!
It’s somewhat specific to someone with my type of background; namely growing up in a family of young-Earth creationist, fundamentalist Christians, and learning that things like science and evolution are lies from Satan.
At some point curiosity got the better of me and I realized I didn’t even know what evolution even is, so I read up a bit about it. Then a bit more. You know, this actually kind of makes sense. Eventually the rabbit hole led to the existence of God. I remember watching a bunch of debates and expecting the most learned representatives of our Christian tradition to make some really great arguments. And… they… never… did.
I never get these things where people are like “ah ha, we outsmarted the company by using an undocumented* feature they provide!” But like, they control the feature and they know it exists, you’re not getting away with something.
* or sometimes even documented
Except that’s not what “backed by” means. It consumes energy. You can never exchange cryptocurrency to get the energy that it consumed back.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
I got a bunch of different kinds of boxer briefs a few years ago, and I learned from that experience that there is a WIDE variety of quality and fit in this category. They really shouldn’t chafe or let your balls stick to your thigh, if they do I’d highly recommend trying a different brand or fit or whatever.
For me it was growing up with religious fanatic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.
I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.
And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.
I’ve long said that Arnold is my favorite Republican. It’s a low, low, bar, but still…
I write self documenting code, as long as you are a Python interpreter.
We talk to each other like Giwaffe & Cwow (https://youtu.be/8_Dm5xkHzio). Sometimes we’ll quote things from the skit, but a lot of times we’ll just say normal stuff in that voice to be cute.
I don’t remember the details but there was an Internet story about a dude who’d say “man up” and people explained why that was a problem and he updated to “fortify”. And I really like that, because it kinda suggests also getting help where you need it to build up your defenses in order to face the thing you need to face.
A few months ago I was doing dishes and for some reason thought about my age and I literally couldn’t remember if I’d hit 50 yet. Had to do the math to remember I’m 45 and that’s quite a ways off. That’s an outlier for sure, but yeah I forget.
It just doesn’t come up often. There are fewer ands fewer markers. Before your 20s you’ve got hitting double digits, becoming a teenager, sweet 16, becoming an “adult”, then not being a teenager any more. In your 20s you’ve got becoming an adult again (and maybe being able to drink if 21 is your drinking age), and then maybe saving money on insurance at 25 if that even matters to you. Then nothing. You might demarcate 30, but nothing really changes. In many senses now it’s “just a number” and the individual increments fail to matter. There’s no differential reinforcement to remembering where you are on the number line.
Can AI (whatever you personally are an expert in) do better than the real thing?
We are all Elon on this blessed day.
Being a child with an ear infection, rather than take me to a doctor to get antibiotics, my parents had my grandmother come over to pray for me and she told me that Jesus was my physician. I just remember wondering why my physician wasn’t fucking doing anything about it.
I saw something about this somewhere else, but I don’t know what’s going on? What is this about?
Not quite the same thing, but my first name inspires people to quote Dr. Seuss to me. Eventually I dropped it and started using my middle name instead.
I do share a last name with a couple of celebrities, and people will ask “any relation to (celeb whose name is spelled differently)?” Depending on my mood I’ll either point out the spelling or tell them he’s my cousin. Or bring up the celebs whose names are spelled the same.
I feel like such a poser over here with my Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings.
