Mike Huckabee: if Trump doesn't win, 2024 will be last election "decided by ballots rather than bullets" | Boing Boing
That's a coup. An election decided by bullets is a coup.

Would that be a.....snail trail?
That's how you turn a date into a relationship.

He Infiltrated a Notorious White Nationalist Group. Now, He’s Being Sued for Exposing Them
"Yes, we believe Hitler was right and we want to exterminate every race other than us so that our white children can fulfill their white destinies..... But we don't want people to know our names. They might get mad."
Fuck all of these bigots.

Considering the statistics for tattoo removal in general when compared to the rate of gender de-transitions, I'd be genuinely flabbergasted if this post wasn't true.
For me personally, I don't have an issue separating Rowling from HP. IMO, she retconned herself out of the HP universe the day she tried to make wizards shitting themselves canon.

Positive deposits are a great tool when you're in a relationship with a power dynamic like a teacher with students or a boss with employees. A sticker chart to get the pizza party is something we are all familiar with.
Where this falls apart is when it's a relationship that is supposed to be based on equality and shared responsibilities. It inherently assigns the power and authority to one side, the wife/mother in this case.
In my opinion, the only way a thing like this works is a straight up competition. Both their names need to be earning stickers and there needs to be a single prize to be won. BJs go both ways.

What's the most expensive thing you've eaten? Was it worth it?
I once used $1k caviar as a topping for a Papa John's pizza. It was delicious.

Short term profits making quarterly reports look better to stakeholders. Isn't that how 80% of these bigwigs get their job in the first place? We should be calling it the Zaslav Model at this point 😂.

Misunderstood
It's a hilarious joke but imagine if it were truth. How would such context affect the morality of the NK government and its actions against its own citizens. I'd like to thank OP because this is the kind of thing that gives my mind a break for days as a distraction to contemplate.

Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam?
I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.
On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.

I mean, intent matters a little at least, right? Like, I prefer to use the term progressive when describing myself and I found this meme to be a firm chuckle and not problematic. It's saying that the logic used by things like CRT is thematically identical to logic used in biblical texts, which many on the right would actually oppose politically and ideologically.
So like, if the intent was to reframe CRT in a biblical light so as to show ethical inconsistency on the part of Republicans, and it works on a logical and a humourous level, what exactly is the problem?

What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists?
Can't buy beer or wine at Walmart before noon on Sundays. But there's totally a war on Christianity here lol.

Nevada man files lawsuit after being arrested (again) for filming police
They're supposed to have body cams on all the time and yet still do this shit. Why don't people trust cops anymore? I just can't imagine.

Only the last year or so. We had a special thing on the ballot because Republicans were sure it wouldn't pass. It did but still has that noon stipulation.
And side rant here but I'm sick of local people acting like I'm an alcoholic for this bothering me. No, I don't need to drink before noon. I do however schedule my grocery shopping for Sundays before noon as I am a mail carrier with Sunday being my only permanent day off. And I shop in the morning while everyone is at church to beat the crowds. Having to go back out hours later for only alcohol is bullshit.

“We’re not ‘gatekeepers,’” Apple and Microsoft tell European Union
Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they've been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they're being accused of succeeding 😂.

Unity apologizes and updates their infamous Runtime Fee
Each one of these placating statements from them expressed sorrow for not listening/communicating more with their consumers, but I can't help noticing a conspicuous lack of apology to their own employees.
Like, stop acting as if this is out of a clear blue sky and you're simply course-correcting in good faith. Your own people told you this would happen. My trust in Unity is gone until they address this.
