Air quality in there isn't too good
On the plus side, if the Foot Clan attacks, you'll have easy access to allies.

ICE agents point guns at bystanders during violent arrest in Maryland | “What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yelled. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”
Per the article, these are Florida asssholes in Maryland. Sounds like wannabe slave catchers to me.

i'll just watch
I'd be worried about me freaking out, causing the horse to freak out and stomp me to death. This thought itself would of course (of course) increase the chance of me freaking out about the horse.

Sure, post this to your klik klok
My brother insists on calling Roblox "Robots" to his kids. This appropriately infuriates them. I'm workshopping Fork-knife to bug my step kids.

President Lula: The sovereignty of Brazil isn't negotiable. We recognize the great power of the United States, but you must speak to us with respect. Donald Trump’s behavior is unacceptable.

I wouldn't even classify this as an insult. It's just a clear statement of sovereignty. I'm sure the orange fuckwit will see it otherwise, but his opinion is meaningless.

Funny. I love 'em
If I go to Starbucks and order a medium anything and am "corrected" by the cashier that it's a "grande" I will stare at the offender until they feel uncomfortable.
If I go to Coldstone Creamery and order a medium anything and they aggressively say "oh, you want a 'love it'," I will tell them no, I want a fucking medium. You don't get to tell me how much I might or might not like it in advance.
Also I hate when Dairy Queen insists that you watch them flip the fucking Blizzard upsidedown. I don't want your meager marketing trick. I want the bad ice cream with candy in it.

People of Lemmy, have you ever had what some would consider a "spiritual" experience?
I was in college, it was night, and several friends and acquaintances of mine had lugged a case of beer to a giant empty wire spool that sat next to our campus at the time. The spool on it's side made for a good table.
Having completed an entire class about world religions, we were set to debate whether Buddhism or Taoism was a more reasonable philosophy.
The girl to my right was definitely engaged in the conversation, but she hadn't said anything yet. I asked her "so what do you think about all of this?" She looked at me, crossed her arms, and fell backwards into the ground. I immediately said, "holy shit, did you guys just see that?" Nobody else saw the girl. As it happened, the wire spool was on the lawn between the campus and a graveyard.
Maybe I'm nuts or maybe I saw that. Never saw anything like that again though.

Harvard condemns student and faculty groups for posting antisemitic cartoon
I can see how the cartoon is inappropriate. A Star of David references Judaism as a whole. It paints an entire religion as the perpetrators of bad acts that can only reasonably be laid at the feet of Netanyahu's Israeli government. An Israeli flag might be more appropriate, but it would still be painting ordinary Israeli citizens with too broad of a brush.
On the flip side, the military controlled by Nethanyahu's government seems to be painting all Gaza citizens as targets, regardless of affiliation with Hamas or lack thereof. This stance sucks and is evil.
Killing innocent people like Hamas and Israel have is a clear ethical failure. Fomenting culture-wide hatred of a group in a way that encourages future killing of innocent people like Hamas and Israel have is also an ethical failure.
Harvard was right to condemn the cartoon, but there is no real good guy here.

Renee Good was her name. Not Nicole. Sucks that attention was only given after a white LGBT woman was killed. Still sucks even more that she was killed. I am haunted by the pictures of her glove box. It was filled with stuffed animals for her child.

33 actually
44 here. Technically I was diagnosed with "ADD" (the H was added later) back in 1988 or so. My parents were of the mind that kids in general have a lot of energy and little attention and kept me off of Ritalin as a result.
Ya know what? I get the sense that this supposed malady is being diagnosed in sufficient numbers that it's just the standard state of a huge percentage of humanity. Frankly, I don't think we evolved to squat in cubicles and stare at screens all day long.
Hypothesis here: Unnaturally focused attention is an unhealthy mutation that only benefits those who exploit them.

This is a great book
So what does it recommend? Do you fight the bus itself or just the people on the bus?
