I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but what’s an example of a warm blue? I can’t imagine it.

idiomaddict ,

That warm blue does look cozy, in that it looks like the color that your dad’s old too-short shorts were in the 70s.

PBS/NPR?

Bodily curiosity is good and penises are funny

I think you’ve put more thought into his policies than he has

What evidence do you have of that?

Joe Biden reportedly more open to calls for him to step aside as candidate (www.theguardian.com)

Joe Biden has reportedly become more open in recent days to hearing arguments that he should step aside as the Democratic presidential candidate after the party’s two main congressional leaders told him they doubted his ability to beat Donald Trump....

idiomaddict ,

Trump proved that lip service is the only requirement

idiomaddict ,

Is that true regardless of her VP?

idiomaddict ,

I assumed it was a really dark joke about missing First Nations women

idiomaddict ,

It’s cheaper

idiomaddict ,

Sometimes it’s just luck. I smoke weed and refuse to sleep normally and I still get carded for energy drinks (16+) at 33

No kids though… I don’t know how anyone can look young with kids.

idiomaddict ,

You have to cherry pick to post a meme like this

idiomaddict ,

Just look at what happened to the European royal families …

idiomaddict ,

Honestly better than the giant metal fan greentext imo

I put vegetables in my tomato sauce though

Neoliberal hubris

idiomaddict ,

Yeah, this is scary, but that’s literally the 2nd amendment

idiomaddict ,

They’re training them to protect federal infrastructure and they’re still subject to gun regulations. I think it will be a political tool used to oppress the citizenry, so not the spirit of the law, but the letter.

idiomaddict ,

No matter who’s president? Because fighting off rebellions was a big part of what those militias were used for.

Ostensibly. They’re obviously lying, but that’s what they say.

It’s WELL-regulated, not “barely regulated at all with little to no enforcement to speak of”

It’s my understanding that the extant gun laws are legally considered to fulfill this requirement, otherwise private gun ownership wouldn’t be possible. Personally I disagree, but I’m not sure what standard would otherwise be used.

I do hope you’re correct, but I don’t trust the US government to adhere to common sense anymore. I guess we’ll see what the court says, because someone’s going to challenge this.

Or maybe he’ll get voted out in November and this will be disbanded before anything happens with it. I think that’s probably the best option, because then it doesn’t get a chance to be approved by this SCOTUS and nobody has to have their civil rights violated by this group.

idiomaddict ,

Yeah, I was interpreting it under the lens of current legal application, not reality. In reality, it’s a group of people who want to violently oppress their fellow citizens through any means possible.

A friend of mine is epi-pen levels of allergic to shellfish and they wouldn’t let him try crickets in culinary school because there’s often an overlap.

idiomaddict ,

If it helps, that might be irrelevant for you! My friend mentioned that chitin was the issue (no idea if he’s right, please don’t take medical advice from me), so things like shrimp and crab are huge problems for him, but I think cephalopods less so

idiomaddict ,

That’s too much powder, which can happen if your water’s not hard and you fill the space up.

idiomaddict ,

Do you by any chance use an eco or quick cycle? That’s my last one, I won’t keep diagnosing your dishwasher 😂

idiomaddict ,

I just read the fanfic. Though I absolutely don’t talk about it in public because the stuff I like is basically all pornographic. I definitely know all the trivia, but I don’t support jk Rowling financially (anymore, I did purchase the original series as it came out, but I haven’t otherwise paid for anything Harry Potter).

I just like the world and the fanfic possibilities of Draco Malfoy.

idiomaddict ,

It’s the only one* I talk about in public.

There’s also an erotic squid/castle fic that’s absolutely hilarious

First-known TikTok mob attack led by middle schoolers tormenting teachers (arstechnica.com)

A bunch of eighth graders in a “wealthy Philadelphia suburb” recently targeted teachers with an extreme online harassment campaign that The New York Times reported was “the first known group TikTok attack of its kind by middle schoolers on their teachers in the United States.”...

idiomaddict ,

If they actually did those things, it wouldn’t be slander.

If I were to guess, I’d take it as “unless the kids knew/suspected with good reason they were doing those things”, because that’s how I would feel about it at least. I would still want to talk to them about appropriate responses and make sure they knew they could trust me, but kids don’t always know how to bring up adults’ misbehavior.

If it’s just a fluke, that would feel like an ends justifying the means situation.

idiomaddict ,

I’d like to first of all say that I don’t see any reason to believe the teachers did this. I hope the police proceed under that assumption unless evidence leading otherwise turns up. My original comment was about why someone might not want their children punished as severely, if the teachers did in fact do these things to their students, but I don’t think it’s likely (and really hope it’s not the case).

It would be harassment whether or not it’s true, so the teachers would still have reason to sue.

That’s true, but it’s probably not a huge concern. Middle schoolers under that kind of pressure will react without thought to consequences and if their most grievous response is to harass their abusers, most courts would probably recognize that. I would still explain to them that they can trust me and that I’ll believe them if they tell me something like this in the future, before it gets to this point.

I just hope something happens with their parents too, because kids who do things like this tend to have shitty parents.

Agreed.

idiomaddict ,

So the two professions would be equally old.

idiomaddict ,

If you don’t think to bring something with you, you have to go back and get it (for example)

idiomaddict ,

I like this, but I wish it accepted scientific names. Common names are not a convenient way to play

idiomaddict ,

Holy fuck, Sardinia. Being dropped from a great height or beaten to death by people I held as babies while tripping sounds like one of the worst ways to go.

idiomaddict ,

They’ll probably answer something like: around 20 deg/around 70 deg/room temperature/warm/etc

All of which are reductive, and the only non reductive answer would begin with our understanding of the concept of heat

idiomaddict ,

There’s a Pax Romana/olive branch joke in there somewhere

idiomaddict ,

I wonder what the Venn diagram of prescriptivists and graffiti artists is

idiomaddict ,

Edit: is it doxxing to say the name?

idiomaddict ,

Do people expect 13-16 year-olds to be more resilient to bullying than younger kids? Are they?

I’d expect that to be the most vulnerable age, but I don’t know. 17-18, I can see, but only because they’re more likely to have more varied social circles, and may be able to find more accepting groups on their own (though that could be a dnd group or an alt-right group, so that’s not necessarily a good thing). Again, I don’t really know anything about childhood development though.

idiomaddict ,

Is there more? I kind of want to know more

As discovered from [4], she will not continue to love me if I do not share an equal love for the workplace based drama.

My favorite line

idiomaddict ,

I’m so afraid of heights that my palms are sweating reading that, but that’s an objectively cool hobby

idiomaddict ,

I appreciate the inclusion, but I would probably be considered phobic, if it came up enough to impact my life more. I rejected a window cubicle because the view was stressful and I avoid glass elevators, but that’s really it. Planes are totally fine, though I try not to dwell on actually being very high in the air.

Incredible username

idiomaddict ,

Are you allowed to not use the title? Like, could a newspaper call him starmeyboy?

I’ve thought about launching an anti woke brand and doing it, but the amount of hate I’d need to surround myself by would not be good for the soul

idiomaddict ,

There’s no greater mismatch of internal and external beauty in my mind than Braveheart-era Mel Gibson. I’m straight up ashamed of how handsome I find him. The hatred did not age him well, however, which is a relief.

Bruh, adults still piss in pools.

If the ozone layer fills with metallic alloys, it fucks with the magnetosphere, potentially to the point that the magnetosphere no longer protects us from solar winds, and that would lose us the atmosphere.

It also might not be that serious, but there’s no way to know until there’s a problem. Companies are rapidly increasing the number of artificial satellites in our orbit without any consideration to the potential consequences though.

idiomaddict ,

It’s different because these are now metallic compounds, which can become magnetically charged and may be able to affect the magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere is basically the ball of magnetic force around the earth that insulated us from solar winds.

Solar winds can destroy planetary atmospheres, when the planet isn’t otherwise protected.

The hole in the ozone layer was also a problem, but it’s more because the ozone layer protects us from a lot of ultraviolet light. The hole (which was not exactly a hole, but that works better for marketing) would have caused a bunch of cancer and exposed us to higher levels of toxic ozone on the ground, which are both big problems, but not for all life on earth
