lol, 10 bucks says he heard a car backfire and freaked out.

AI making itself sick is beautiful, honestly. If it was a plot device in a sci-fi show I’d call it too on the nose.

Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.

Totally depends on your local laws. Where I live (southern California) any fruit hanging over the sidewalk is free for the public to take, regardless of whether the tree itself is on public property. But if you cross the property line to reach it, it becomes theft.

I’ve been hearing that exact argument since Columbine.

The people who were shitting blood over how anyone who wants Biden to step down is a Russian agent will unfortunately learn absolutely nothing from these events.

A thief thinks everyone steals.

Out of all the types of American political voters that exist (as defined and studied by Pew), the progressive left has the highest voting rate of any group. Including 'Faith and Flag Conservatives.'

If you're super worried about criticism from someone further left than you killing support for your candidate, it's not because leftists don't show up to vote.

'Transgendered' is best left in the 2000s btw.

The heat wave has broken and I was practically frolicking outside today. It’s so incredibly pleasant, other than the air quality warning from the nearby fires. 😬

Yes

I wonder if there’s a word for punishing everyone in a group for actions taken by only some members of a group, and if it’s considered ethical?

Station Eleven from… Station Eleven is probably there only one that’s been as interesting to me as the story itself, I guess because it’s such a big part of the story and character motivations. The book and show are both good in their own ways, but I particularly like the passage repeated throughout the show:

I remember damage, then escape

Then adrift in a stranger’s galaxy for a long time

But I’m safe now

I found it again, my home

Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?

14 states require an excuse, like disability or being out of the country, to vote by mail.

Your "presentation" not matching your ID is not an issue.

Should it be? No. But it’s an issue in some places for some people every election, because some poll workers hopped up on Fox News think the gender section in the ID not saying what they think it should say means voter fraud is happening.

As the article goes on to say, trans people vote at a higher rate than cis people, and that’s in spite of potential access issues at the poll.

If you would like to hate the history of Europe even more: This insane desecration of human corpses only began after the use of mummies for medicinal cannibalism fell out of fashion when it was discovered to be based on a mistranslation of Arabic texts.

Maybe the food ran out because Hunter was unreliable 😉

The one I have is from REI and made of modal (similar to rayon, made from wood pulp), it’s the only one I’ve used but it feels very nice, soft, and lightweight. I don’t ever feel like I’d be better off not wearing it if I’m in direct sunlight, and sweat dries from it fairly quickly. I’ve been hot while wearing it but not any hotter than I would have been standing in the sun to begin with, you know? I’ve also never had it fail and result in a burn, and my dermatologist was enthusiastic about it when I brought up that I’d been using that instead of sunscreen.

The main reason I went with that brand was because I couldn’t find any non-polyester options anywhere else. There’s nothing wrong with them functionally, I just try to avoid polyester in general.
