Holy crap, this is ancient internet history! I remember this from high school.

Beyond supporting local businesses, Starbucks' coffee is just objectively poor quality in comparison to that of any local roster.

I never knew just tuck was something somebody could actually do and now I'm scared...

This was the final straw for him? Really??

Congress: "Yeah whatever, do what the orange guy says."

I've been saying for the past decade that I think the federal government holds way too much power and needs to dissolve. The country is too big for how centralized the power is and the states cannot effectively satisfy their constituents' needs when they're so beholden to federal interests. I love the state and city that I live in and I don't want to have to move across the world in order to live somewhere with sane politics but I'm sick of progress here being delayed because so many of our resources are going to the federal government and being compromised by the interests of the other 98% of the country.

I'm going to be migrating to Linux and using Mint. I'm just paranoid about doing something wrong and accidentally walking into a security vulnerability. So I want to set aside time to properly learn things and understand what I'm doing but I'm just busy AF these days...

So far I think it's mostly just fine. It started off strong but has fallen off a bit for me after E4/5. There are still good bits but I feel like the writing is the weakest part of the show, weaker than S1. The pacing is very rushed and there's too much of a reliance on "telling" rather than "showing". But the action, production and casting are all top notch. Bella, Isabella, Young and Kaitlyn are all killing it, even if I'm not always happy with the direction they're given by the writers.

I loved S1 and have re-watched it all the way through several times. I don't see myself re-watching S2 quite as often. That is unless E6/7 turn out to be incredible, but even then getting though E4/5 will be a bit of a chore.

"To Serve and Protect..."

180 seconds (3 minutes) is a hilarious overestimation of any fighter's ability. Unless you're counting the time it takes to bleed out.

This made me think of that time my partner's brother told me in complete earnest that he'd be able to jump off a skateboard going 20+ mph and run it out based solely off the fact that the fastest recorded human running speed is 28 mph and therefore he, an average fit 20 y.o. should be able to achieve 75% of that.

He's proven that he can't be reasoned with and is effectively immune from accountability. At this point, casting blame upon him is essentially the same as blaming a natural disaster for the destruction it causes. If you get burned while playing with fire, would it be rational to blame the fire?

I also hate that that's our reality. But I see people arguing that blaming Democrats for dropping the ball gives Trump and the Republican party a free pass to be shitty and this is my dilemma.
