I'm not a lawyer, but a piece of legal advice I've seen repeated many times is "Never threaten to sue. Just sue."

As soon as you threaten to sue, you'll never be able to talk to anybody except the legal team, and they'll do nothing to help your case.

Can someone let me into the top floor of a wall street office building so I can become finance-class?

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

Reasonable chance he never wrote one and Biden just said that to pacify the media.

My wife broke her ankle and insurance denied the entire claim for being "not medically necessary". The "medical professional" (not doctor) who denied the claim had experience in OBGYN, not orthopedics.

100% going to win the appeal because like, we have x-rays of the shattered bones in her leg, but seriously wtf. People seriously believe this is the ideal medical system?

Kakuna wearing a tux?

You're the outlier of outliers, then. General practice is booked weeks to months in advance for me.

:q!

The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.

I want something that's basically like Windows 98.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition) and Kubuntu are, in my opinion, the two most windows-looking distros out of the box. They use the Cinnamon and KDE desktop environment respectively, you can do a little googling to see if those look like you expect your desktop to work.

Does everyone just always know what they're doing at all times?

Fuck no, lol. I've done more stupid shit on Linux than windows would ever let me get away with. But Linux people tend to be a little more "tinkerers" than other computer users. Not everyone by any means, it's really more of the other way around: if you want to tinker with your computer, Linux gives the most freedom to do so. And when you tinker enough and make enough mistakes learning experiences, you tend to pick up some knowledge along the journey.

But a lot of the modern distros are very plug-and-play, to where it's not necessary to be a tinkerer to get going on Linux anymore.

A lot of people interviewed for the article are acting all surprised. "Oh wow, this is really surprising that he said this, given his policy stance on the drug"

Only one person really hit home with their response. Douglas Brinkley from Rice University:

“It reinforces Nixon as a Machiavellian political operative,” Mr. Brinkley said, adding that the former president “dehumanized drug users because it was in his political interest to do so.”

They also were in their car outside the gate to the property. TECHNICALLY that gate may be inside the property line, but that's still totally egregious.

Hmm, I think you're right about sterilization vs gunk removal. Got those mixed up.

A note on alcohol as a cleaner:

~~Alcohol is actually a more potent solvent when in solution with water. 70% isopropyl alcohol is so prevalent because it's actually more effective than higher concentrations. ~~

THAT'S how you take down a Gish Gallop.

"I don't give a fuck what you're trying to pivot to. Do you trust Maduro's statistics?"

This works for some things, but it's like the parable of the boiled toad: you need to push on the edges of truth, not come out guns blazing with "post-birth abortions", "Immigrants eating family pets", and "Democrats wanted Roe v Wade overturned also"

The root of the thing is that Islamic teachings require practitioners to dress modestly.

Interpretations of this range from "cover your sex bits" to "don't show an inch of skin to anybody except your husband".

His claim that he's never drank any alcohol might be exaggerated, but if he were lying about not drinking in general, somebody would've leaked it by now.

"How much money are you looking for in this role" is very common. "How much are you making right now" is not allowed.

...Acabas de escribir "guey" como "we"?

"Push here to open" on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don't even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.

Ooh, self-burn! Those are rare*.

*Except for this fucking guy, who does it all the time

Residents of the suburbs be like:

The FBI recently came into some hard evidence about Russia's interference actions.

Oh my gaaawd they were roommates

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it's a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I'd nominate it for this award.

I'm all for it, but this does still require patches of soil in the cities that are rapidly getting paved over.

"Pele who can't defend themselves physically"

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he'd get his ass kicked?

Big 1999 energy

As vehemently as he's condemned any other controversy he finds himself in 🙄

This "challenge" has been going on some before widespread internet access.

Seriously, wtf?

The article does call out that 1989 is a pretty arbitrary starting point, and extending that to 1945 creates a less lopsided (but still Democrat-favoring) picture.

I'd be interested in the comparison looking back to Nixon, as he was a stark departure from the republican party of Eisenhower. And of course he lead to Reagan, Bush 1&2, and Trump.

God, I hope so. But I just don't believe it. MFer got reelected as an indicted felon. TX courts aren't going to do anything about him, and who can trust the SCOTUS to do better at this point?

It remains a life goal of mine to befriend a murder of crows, and teach them to say "run" to people going for a stroll in the park.

You know Texas is in a bad place when Dan Crenshaw is like our fifth-worst politician

Fractals are not necessarily self repeating, they just contain detail at arbitrarily small scales.
