I am just curious at this point if they are even something he's going to bother sending out anything with, or just take the money and...I guess just sit there.

I had totally missed the typo in the headline until he pointed it out, too! I caught the misspelling of Mamdani, but not the one with the biblical book name.

I would have been an awful priest...

Toys bring happiness to children.

The administration obviously has a problem with that, so must have the authority to crush them.

Definitely an emergency.

I don't see a way this threat doesn't hurt them.

'For your safety we might need to, but we decided your plans were too important '

So you don't care if people die, or the danger wasn't real.

If they hadn't been messaging that the shutdown wasn't really that big of a deal (House not meeting)...

Oh wow.

One of those security guys is surprisingly cute!

If you say his name, you might have to advocate for him, or praise him, so...

This is valid, I just currently have a 'backlog' of shows/movies that I keep thinking I need to watch ( probably not particularly vital, but...)

You know, rather than incrementing my rewatch counter on a good background show.

I watched some of it, but haven't watched any of season 2. There's some stuff I like, but a number of things I am not wild about (some weird narrative framing sexism, eg), leaving me feeling often vaguely dissatisfied after each 'resolution'

I will not be voting tomorrow!

(Because I voted two weeks ago)

We had a kind of ridiculous thing on the ballot here, 'do you -really- want to fund meals for students ' that I hope gets a 95% passage because holy crap when I read the text I couldn't believe it wasn't a set policy already.

I got a weird one- obviously there's no easy solution for you in this situation, but do you know of good OTC ones for dry mouth ( either that don't work, or allergy-blocked)? Literally just curious, since mine are like 'gum' (fails unpleasantly in heavy cases) and electrolyte. If you don't mind, ofc

They are ready to leave, just have to take care of a few things, so won't until at least a decade, perhaps two, and sadly will never give up their apartments.

On on the plus side, more people paying the wealth tax!

I feel like the assumption is that he can't tell them apart either.

Which is something twins love to hear from their fiancees.

Yeah, the child of the parent who is now running - but that doesn't mean there's a consensus, it could have been a petty squabble, it could have been at the insistence of the parent in the first place, etc. It only mentions a single student complaint, not a movement/group.

Oggie @oggie.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, there's a real question of if the ban is accepted or liked by students, who would be the ones who have that interaction culture, and there's a very real possibility that most parents of most students literally never heard about it.

Maybe this is the will of the student body, but...maybe not

It's so weird how their entire worldview is aesthetically driven, I'm sure I'm not the only one to point this out but they flat out equate morality and value with a certain look, and all deviation from it is inherently worse.

That man hasn't shaved, no need to listen to his words!

It really depends on tone, we'd need to see video. *nods*

But both are -probably- acceptable if you give him lots and lots of pets.

I actually just assumed this was the driving impetus behind your manicBot?

You can't tell, because you're in the throes, but it is at least a step or two abstracted, so can make you 'notice', then bring to your attention, and 'oh hey'.

I often don't notice trends until I do strong self-evals.

You could have made a case for this as a cool thing and being new and innovative like...30 years ago. Or a retro thing 20 years ago.

I feel like it was a joke they made on top chef 10 years ago.

I actually think that someone accidentally showed him the higher education numbers for Nigeria, so he asked someone else to come up with a justification to attack them.

They don't have a huge military but they have an absolutely insane populace of educated people, and...this is a threat.

I genuinely have been doing other stuff all day, tabbed over to bsky, refreshed, and this was the first post I saw.

Sounds like I have some entertaining back reading to do. I figured after that crazy game earlier in the week this would be straightforward, but I guess...less so.

Genuinely I think she is betting on everyone just habing blocked her, and she's most doing this as a performative thing of 'I even tried to bury the hatchet but those terrible other trans women aren't interested in talking with me, it's THEIR fault'

But hey, could be wrong.

No I mean, my printer has a literal RJ25, right next to the RJ45.

Look, it came free, because the marginal cost is probably something like 10c in materials, and the 'redesign the circuit board' man hours make it just definitly not worth bothering to remove.

So I just happen to have it.

My first version hearing this line was actually the bit in Rent, heh.

I actually just bought a fax machine, technically!

To be clear it is/was a feature on the brother printer I got, it wasn't even something I wanted but it came with the stuff I did (network print server, Ethernet port, etc).

I do not have a landline.
