That’s the one you correct?

A 17 year old kid in a brand new Subaru WRX totalled my car by ramming it from behind at ~90mph. Buying a car like that for a child should be a crime, it’s like giving a kid a loaded gun.

I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.

Sort of, assuming you don’t believe that God or magic are real. If I had premonitions of the future, and could demonstrate through testing that they come true, I’d be proving a phenomenon exists but not necessarily anything about the origins. They could be visions from God, making me a prophet. They could be something with a natural origin, like an energy or invisible spirits.

It’s a term used by occultists, ghost hunters, and other people who want to discuss / legitimize spooky shit without the religious baggage of the word “supernatural”.

Birds fucking love yelling. If you want to be a parrot’s best friend, start yelling at them. They think that shit’s hilarious.

There’s a term for this idea, “preternatural”. It means a phenomenon that is the result of the natural world, not magic or divine, but still unexplainable with our current understanding.

James Randi’s prize didn’t require proof of the supernatural, it was open to preternatural phenomena as well. Someone just had to prove it was a REAL phenomenon and not a hoax or random chance.

A conservationist should be able to remove the ink. I doubt it’s “ruined”.

Edit: looked it up, apparently restoration cost about $5k. Not ruined, but definitely a costly little stunt.

It’s a different word in the US, with a totally different meaning. I’ve never heard it said by a yank without it being directed at a woman in a voice filled with hate, intended to demean, frighten, or hurt her. We all get that it means something else across the pond, we’re not offended by your use of it, although I personally would prefer you don’t direct it at women who you suspect might be from the US. Many of us have really bad memories of terrifying situations where we were called that word.

I also find children being murdered pretty fucking offensive, for the record.

Let’s get the writers working on it!

You don’t get to vote for the GOP and then complain that they’re not progressive enough. Vote for a fucking progressive if you want to get progressive policies enacted. Your lawmakers are doing exactly what you hired them to do… fucking over the people in every way possible. You’re just mad because you assumed you would be exempt from the fuckening.

 

Great youtube analysis of the humanity intrinsic in art, and why AI slop will never qualify.

Yeah, please just talk to me like a person instead of advertising at me. Manipulation may work, but it’s not the kind of interaction I want to have with my representatives.

 

The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.

The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).

The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).

 

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, here’s a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
