The unfortunate reality is that not having that policy would mean 80% of their funding would go to legal defense for lawsuits from aggrieved right wing parents who have outside funding for their suits.

Until the laws state clearly that minors can make their own medical decisions independent of their parents, this is the correct decision. And even in that case this clinic would still be under attack.

Reality still sucks, and we still need to keep trying to make it better. Mamdani is a ray of hope, but he isn’t in and of himself hope incarnate, nor is he a perfect ray of light.

He’s just human. So are we. He’s trying to make things better, and so can we.

As discussed in the latest Taskmaster podcast with Ed Gamble and Kumail Nanjiani, Joel Dommett is legitimately about to release a line of men’s skin care products named For Skin.

Man, I am so glad my eye doctor told me it wasn’t worth it rather than just taking the money!

The answer is that Lasik isn’t a cure-all.

I had the same experience. My vision was getting kinda bad and I wanted Lasik. I went to an eye doctor, and while I am farsighted in the left eye, the right is 20/20.

Lasik would fix the farsightedness, but having that in one eye is an asset for driving. So now I have driving glasses and won’t worry about Lasik.

Aww, thanks!

Just to number 3, I wouldn’t read anything more into that than he wanted to say it.

Sometimes you just say something awkwardly or forget you’d already said it, but wanted to be sure you did.

He wants to stay in touch. Maybe get his email so you can keep chatting.

And it could be that he is hoping for more. That’s the cost of pursuing friendships. Sometimes people want different things. It is what it is. The search for human connection doesn’t have a predefined conclusion.

Better Call Sol.

I would wager that an additional two in five were oblivious to such harassment or contact.

As a young boy I was totally unaware when a man flashed me and my sister.

Could’ve added: Cook.

Cook sprayed with non-cooking spray stick.

It’s existence led to this Mr. Show skit.

And I am sorry to say this, but Mustmayostardayonnaise Lincoln was a Jan 6th rioter. (I secretly love having used that brand new sentence.)

That was the upset in the timeline that somehow delayed or prevented the Bell Riots.

They’re all doubleplusgood.

Might have to.

Little steps begin great journeys.

The games are now vastly more complex.

I bounced off of Helldivers 2 for this exact reason. Something around 16 buttons on a PS5 controller and they were assigning functions for short, mid, long press, and button combinations.

I can’t remember all that shit!

Yes, I am getting old.

I used to wait at the bus stop in the winter at 6am when it was still pitch black out.

It would be light before the bus got there and dark again within two hours of getting home.

This was in Minneapolis, but I lived in the south side while going to a specialized program at North High, the other side of the city, so it wasn’t typical.

New campaign in my D&D world.

700 years ago the moon fell and devastated the land.

This island in particular almost split in two entirely, and a minor god died in the process of saving it.

Now the characters are sent on a mission to prevent a war by destroying one side of the land. In the process they may uncover how they are being used, by who, what really happened back then, who the god was, and the real danger to the lands.

Or they can just do what they were told and blow stuff up… except one character is a secret agent hoping to destroy the other side if it comes to that.

That means they aren’t very valuable even in recycling. Starbucks would not ignore a potentially reliable revenue stream.

I used it the other day for the first time in six months and it took me about five minutes to remember how to crop an image.

And it was a webp source image so I couldn’t just use kolourpaint.

I’m tired of all the non-fascists bitching about the non-purity of other non-fascists.

We are supposed to be allies. If we can’t work together, we deserve to lose.
