This is what really hit me reading Mark Twain’s autobiography when he started describing the atrocities by the US government against Native Americans.
His autobiography was dictated to a stenographer which he then edited later. This way it has the feeling of a simple discussion with Twain, and because of this the discussion of tragedy as a current event, just as you and I would chat over a coffee, really hits home how little we’ve changed.
I watched the video and was shocked at how casual the conversation was. He straight up says maybe we should start killing the homeless and the other hosts just nod along.
This is how republicans run Texas. They’ve had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
To be fair, we’re all way worse on the banjo than that.
Bar owls really are so beautiful.
A fine point if anyone in control of the unlimited growth we’re accounting for it in any meaningful way.
When I was young my parents encouraged me to watch Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, and Abbott & Costello. These are easy things for children to watch because the physical comedy is universal.
As I got older my love for them remained, but also it gave me a love for media from any age. So long as it’s done reasonably I think this sort of thing can be quite enriching.
That would seem hypocritical if you’re completely blind to poetic irony, yes.
This is confirmed by a search that’s faster than your comment so where’s your anger coming from?
Welcome to social contract theory.
Noise canceling headphones at the super market are a huge game changer for me. Turned a stressful thing into a vibe.
What faux-profundity is on display here? Sometimes people just talk. Sometimes this includes observations. Kinda like what you did with your comment. I don’t understand why you’re bringing hate to a tea chat, but I suppose it can be good to get off your chest.
As a PM who tries to not waste anyone’s time, thank you. I’ve had pushback before from people who don’t like to do the talking, but I would only call that person forward if it’s going to prevent a ton of headaches all around. Sometimes it’s difficult to explain that. Otherwise I have no problem being the punching bag on stage. It’s my job.
Your clear grasp on the language as a SME goes a long way towards breaking down the silos within our resources. We’ll need to set a strong cadence in order to drive these new workflows from storming to norming. I’ll set a friendly follow-up to make sure your progress doesn’t get yellow-lighted in this week’s board review. I really appreciate your time on this task. Keep up the good work! Best, Robot.
Edit: Looks like I can give everyone 5 minutes of their day back!
Column 2 status would absolutely make sense if we weren’t talking about an administration that slapped tariffs on penguins.
Russia still has billions in trade with the US, far more than any of the other three in column 2 and far more than the vast majority of trade partners assigned tariffs. The tariffs were assigned with a simple trade deficit calculation that Russia was spared. If anything, that this administration is so eager to “get even” that it slaps tariffs on penguins while missing one of its largest trade deficits says more about their lack of attention to detail than anything else.
Doesn’t think switch is groundbreaking. Proceeds to list handheld that wouldn’t exist without the Switch breaking that ground. lol
Google search feels like it has stopped being the magic it was. Now whenever I search for something I might not find it underneath all the stuff on sale. For the first time in I don’t know how many years I’ve been finding myself using something else like Duck Duck Go.
Trump followed a consistent, rigid math: Whatever the trade deficit, then that’s the tariff applied… except for Russia. Russia is #23 on our list of trade partners. Following the math they should have a hefty tariff applied, but they don’t. It’s the only exception.
Fun fact: When an animal rolls into a ball to defend itself it is called “conglobation.”
Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.
