Fuck, I went back to read it after seeing your comment and expected it to say 2014.

The manager of my bakery who earns 17€/hour and gets up at 2am six days a week to open the bakery so no one else has to is not a cop. She greeted me with a double espresso with hot oat milk and having already clocked me in. I normally drink a double espresso with room temperature oat milk. But go off, I guess.

My boss made me coffee wrong this morning. I drank it.

However, the fact-checking website Snopes said the image showed protests in Los Angeles following the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

The governor's office wrote on X on Friday: "HUGE DEVELOPMENT: An official Department of Defense account is spreading fake images—from old protests—to justify Trump's illegal militarization of Los Angeles. This isn't just disinformation. It's a propaganda campaign from the Pentagon."

This is the next paragraph, I think the “however” refers to the posting, not newsoms reaction to it. Ultimately, old pictures are real and their use is deceitful. Calling them fake is adequate in my book, but not entirely accurate.

That’s so interesting! I wonder how it works in Switzerland now, and if there’s a shift between franco- and germanophone areas or if they just split the difference/let Italian or romansh dictate formality.

You’re in your thirties, that’s a complete adult (as am I, even if it doesn’t always feel it). Do you think you’d be offended by someone using tu without knowing you? Or would it feel more like they’re hitting on you/trying to build rapport to sell you something?

I wonder how many people who support both movements would consider themselves “pro-life.”

Now I’m just imagining that arch is pronounced unexpectedly. Please don’t correct me, I like my headcanon of “airtch.”

Unless the mole just doesn't have hair on its face or ass or somewhere, then it's possible to comb all hairs flat.

That is the case, it has bald patches around its mouth and, uh, hands. I don't want to look up pictures of mole ass, but I can’t imagine the anus itself is hairy, that would be a biohazard trap in the environment moles live in.

Mortified by the concept of catcalling a woman and a good relationship with his cat? Yup, those are two very green flags.

Things like don’t shake a baby (babies love to be bounced and rocked, which are honestly just gentle shaking, but even moderately vigorous shaking can seriously injure or kill an infant and you should never shake a baby in anger or anything like that) or don’t take anything with you when exiting a building when a fire alarm goes off (don’t go looking for things, but you should still put your coat on if it’s next to you and it’s cold out). What other common maxims are generally good to follow, but over exaggerated? Bonus points if it’s only a well known saying because our instinct is to do the thing, like with rocking babies.

(Please don’t think I’m telling you to shake babies or look for and carry huge stacks of files out of a burning building)

I remember an lrr video in which the actors played US-American versions of themselves or their characters (it could have been commodore hustle or Friday Nights), but I can’t find it anywhere. I remember Kathleen was either Katherine or Katie (or either of the various spellings of those two), and I think there was a joke about Graham’s name being one syllable (but I could be conflating this with another video).

I’ve got my shower routine down to a science and I do it exactly the same way every time, to minimize the time I spend there (I love being in the shower once I’m there, but I also feel guilty about water waste). This is what I do:

-Get the water to temperature against the wall and then get under the stream fully, getting my hair as wet as possible

-Turn the shower off and shampoo my hair. I wash my outer ears, neck, and face with the shampoo suds

-Turn the water back on, rinse everything fully, get my shower mitt wet, then turn the water off again, and squeeze as much water as possible out of my hair

-Adjust the shower head down, so it doesn’t hit above my neck, then soap up my shower mitt and wash my arms, armpits, chest, stomach, back, and legs

-Turn the water back on to rinse my body off and use the mitt under the water to wash my feet, and rinse the mitt out before turning the water off again

-Squeeze the mitt out and hang it up, then soap up my hands and wash my bellybutton and crotch, turn the water on again to rinse, and soap up to wash my ass with the water running

-Turn the water off and apply baby oil to my arms, neck, chest, back, and legs, then turn the water on again to wash my hands, before shutting it off for good

-Squeeze my hair out once more, and then get my towel to dry my hair first (on the tag side)

-Get out of the shower, and dry my body off with the other side of the towel, feet and groin last

-Brush my hair out with my head hanging down above the shower floor and then towel dry it again over the shower

-Hang the towel up and use a qtip or two if needed

-Clean the shower floor and drain of hair.

Do you folks have any very specific routines that you’ve developed?

He writes insane things in all caps that are divisive, instead of hopeful. His products are overpriced, flimsy, and deceptive, instead of cost effective, long lasting, and simple (this isn’t an ad, this is probably not a comparison they’d invite, but I’m happy to reword this if it feels like too strong a recommendation). He takes the worst parts of religion and distorts them to suit his purposes, instead of using just the best parts of various religions and other writers to try and find a universal message.

Upright Jerker (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Basically a reverse gallows with a horrible name

The upright jerker was an execution method and device intermittently used in the United States during the 19th and early 20th century. Intended to replace hangings, the upright jerker did not see widespread use and was withdrawn from use by the 1930s.

This is a spelling bee clone (or rather a fork, but the dev calls it a clone) that stopped updating a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything? It was my favorite version, so I’ll be sad if it’s gone forever.

The code for it is public (but I’m 0% tech-savvy and have no idea what to do with that), so it’s also possible that others have clones of it. If anyone knows of any (specifically of this one, not general spelling bee clones), that would also be much appreciated.

Edit: I went back through the archives and it’s probably vacation, lol. There’s a week or so missing from the last two summers as well. I am surprised that it’s not automated, and I’ll be supporting the developer as soon as possible, because that’s hella impressive.

When you look at a picture of three marbles, you don’t have to count them to know that there are three there, your brain just automatically knows that, but you have to count to see whether there are 17 or 18. I remember reading about a study of this for various animals. If I recall correctly, humans can typically recognize 4-5, but can train up to 7 or 8, but crows or possibly an insect have a really high quantity that they can just sense.
