Poseidon of the Gaps fallacy.
Who hurt you, OP?
A co-worker of mine was in the later stages of a difficult pregnancy. We worked 9/80’s and had every other Friday off. A manager was upset because she was having to take so much time off from work to go to doctor’s appointments.
He didn’t understand why she just couldn’t go on off Fridays.
Her doctor did surgery on Fridays, not “regular” appointments. So yes, you’re 100% correct.
Happy cake day!
A different perspective - my grandparents grew up speaking French. Then the state passed a law saying only English in schools when they were young children. They would get hit on the hands with rulers for speaking French.
This was of course passed down to my parents and myself. But my mom still bitches about kids where I currently live being in school and unable to speak English because they’re new immigrants.
She doesn’t see the hypocrisy and it’s sad.
climate.nasa.gov is a pretty fucking fantastic site to send people like this to. They probably won’t believe it, but there are lots of cool pics and videos to keep them occupied for awhile.
They’ve also put a lot of things “up” that allow us to study climate change and know more about it as opposed to being caught off guard every time something happens and having no idea how people specifically are affecting the climate in different ways.
Fantastic site.
One thing about this that could get interesting is when the school leaders are different versions of the Christian/Catholic faith. Which Bible do you use? Which lessons do you incorporate? What about the trinity? Mary? The saints?
It would be fun to watch, ngl
When I was younger and going to clubs, one club in particular always had drag queens just hanging out in the women’s restroom doing their makeup, talking, whatever, because it had a long mirror/makeup area.
They’d use the bathroom and we would share makeup tips and they were just so funny and having the best time and everyone loved them.
No one felt threatened ffs
Popeyes is fucking awesome.
My partner is an educator in Texas and I showed this to them. So thanks for posting, OP, getting the word out and such.
Man it’s hard being a fan who genuinely dislikes a good amount of the Disney stuff for reasons other than “mouse worked my show, woke bad!”
The ST was an unplanned, nonsensical mess which there is no excuse for given the experienced directors, money thrown at it, and IP that landed in their laps.
Rebels was good, Resistance was a hot mess.
Rogue One was great, still watch it on a regular basis with the OT/PT
Solo was meh.
First 2 seasons of Mando were great.
Mando season 3 sucked.
BOBF sucked.
Kenobi sucked but seeing Alderaan was cool.
Andor was fucking amazeballs.
Ahsoka was ok.
Acolyte has just been really boring so far until Ep 5, which brought some good action and story. The writing and acting still need work though.
I don’t know what the answer is. A lot of the stories are good but they just aren’t executed very well. With Kenobi it was also the quality of the effects…like it wasn’t finished completely in post-production. I hope Ahsoka season 2 is better, and I hope they make things that you don’t have to have read 20 years of Legends to follow (even though they’re great and should be read).
I wanna hope that things will pick up, but it’s been 10 years and idk how long they can keep just being “ok” considering the IP, the tech, the money, and the experience behind the scenes that goes into all of it.
IIRC it was around 10,000 French words that were introduced into English after that. That’s what we learned in school, anyway.
lol needed that laugh this morning
About an hour later, Whitefeather returned home and guided deputies to another 6-year-old girl who was visiting with another couple from their church.
Good Christian folks, I see.
I did not know this - it definitely adds context. Thank you!
What was the fucking point of this? It seems so stupid and petty. Like why even go through the trouble?
I know there have been maritime issues between China and others within the last few years or so, but seriously - what is the fucking point of doing this?
It sounds like it didn’t get reviewed By the publisher and he seems genuinely apologetic.
Miami New Times publisher Adam Simon tells Axios the ad is unacceptable and he’s changing the alt weekly’s ad review process.
- Normally, he said, staffers — including himself — review ads prior to publication. But in this case, the ad came in past their deadline and Simon did not review it.
- The New Times will no longer take ads so late that they can’t be reviewed, he said.
- “Naturally, had I seen it, which I should have, I would not have let it run as is.”
Who knows for sure, but I was expecting whoever ran the ad to either be a supporter or completely indifferent. It was a nice surprise to see them also be upset instead.
This is a hard one. I think we can all agree that the people who need it should have it and the people who don’t…don’t…especially if their easy access to the drug pretty much guarantees a shortage of the drug for those who do need it.
I need it. And when there was a shortage just as we were forced to return to the office after Covid wfh, it was a nightmare. I don’t know for sure that this company was handing out prescriptions to whoever would pay or if they were mostly legitimate, but I imagine that it’s somewhere in between the two. And I do know that we will never be able to have a rational discussion about it between health professionals and the DEA/FDA, etc.
So, a lot of people who need it won’t get it either due to shortages or due to not being able to access a prescription for whatever reason.
Some people will continue to access it who don’t need it, but on a level that guarantees sporadic shortages for others.
No one wins other than those profiting either by selling prescriptions or by selling the drugs themselves at a much higher price than they paid for it using said prescriptions.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
OP doesn’t necessarily “want” to waste time. OP is going through some difficult things right now and looking for helpful advice just to get through the day, Yoda.
