You're right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??

There's an undeniable racial component, yeah, but there's also the very real fact that those suffering past abuses were broadly in a different category from the majority of ordinary (white and white passing) American citizens, creating the illusion that they themselves were safe, or could choose to be safe by keeping their heads down.

As soon as the victim is in a position that you yourself could easily find yourself in (like dropping your kid off at school in a residential area), and you can imagine that you might make the same choices (like trying to leave a dangerous situation safely), your own safety is under direct threat.

A lot of people were sad, angry and outraged before, but now they're scared.

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

Legally integrated, but I wouldn't say fully. Source: living in the South.

You're probably right, but you'd have to make it to court. Not everyone does..

It also suggests you might be willing to walk away from an incompatible work situation, whether due to workplace toxicity or your own outside priorities, which can be scary to the person you'll be reporting to.

The phrase came originally from Wayne's World, which was first an SNL sketch, yeah. Bill & Ted aren't from SNL, though, and predate Wayne and Garth by a good bit. Bill & Ted said "party on," among other things, but not "party time, excellent." That's specifically the Wayne's World theme song iirc.

Raw milk seems like a fine option for a farmer. Or really anyone that can see the cow from where they're standing. Any farther away than that and you must be nuts

That's the line they feed us, for sure. But if you ever actually added up federal income tax, state income tax, state and local sales tax, Social Security tax, property tax and assorted taxes for any instance in which you might come into additional money (capital gains, interest, prize winnings, inheritance, etc. etc. etc.) most Americans would probably be shocked to learn what real percentage of our income we actually pay to the government.

This is a fun idea, but unfortunately Amazon's search results are pay to play. (That's why they're always so bad.)

When you buy keyed doorknobs and deadbolts, there's sometimes (always?—not sure, but def sometimes) a sticker on each package with a code. This lets you look through the available inventory to find and buy additional locks with the same code so that if you need multiple locks for the same house, they can all use the same key.

So no, as others have said, mass produced locks aren't unique, but sometimes that's a benefit.

Edit to add: it's okay that locks aren't unique, because the lock itself isn't really what keeps people from entering locked doors. Mostly it's the social contract. Your house key might unlock several houses in your neighborhood, but you're not gonna try it, because how would you explain yourself if you got caught? And if you weren't worried about that, then you'd probably be okay with just smashing the window...which means that for someone who would violate it, the lock is moot.

Don't do it if you're trying to date your sister.

I'm not the person you're talking to, but in today's attention economy-centric society, there are more currencies supporting "content" markets than just money.

Try to look at it from the perspective of the person you're talking to. Nobody wants to make a fool of themselves, and assuming someone is interested (without evidence) is a great way for someone to become very embarrassed. Flirting is how you subtly let a person know it's safe to suppose you might be into them and proceed accordingly. Conversations and invitations that are completely devoid of flirtation will instead tell them that you're just being polite or friendly.

So it's important!

Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?

Yes. And the second best time is now.

There are no mainstream Christian denominations that don't believe that the Old Testament is the word of their God, so I'm not sure how the student could have prepared for that particular nonsense juke

Yeah but if the work were bad, she probably would've included that in the criticism, because it's a way better criticism

Looks like 15 hours ago :(

Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.
