As opposed to being too hot all over and desperate for anything that gives the slightest momentary relief. Not being able stand any activity because movement just makes you hotter and the heat has sapped your will to live. Being sweaty all over no matter what you do because it’s all your body can do to keep you alive.

Our bodies generate heat. When trying to warm up, physics is on our side. When trying to cool down, we are fighting a losing battle. You’re worrying about typing in gloves while I’m trying to figure how to waterproof my whole system so I can work from my shower.

Too cold? Put on more clothes until you’re warm and cozy.

Too hot? Keep taking off clothes until you’re just a sweaty naked mess begging for the sweet release of death.

It always felt like it was trying to be canonical but no one else wanted it to be. It was the little brother desperate to join the older kids only to get ditched at every opportunity.

Which was annoying because most of the show was good, and all it would have taken is a tiny Easter egg to acknowledge it exists. As far as I know, the only thing we ever got was Jarvis in endgame being played by the same actor from Agent Carter.

It’s kind of strange that the Netflix shows are the ones that got folded into canon when they basically ignored the rest of the MCU after Avengers. But I suppose that disconnect and the more narrow focus means there’s a lot less to clean up to make it fit. That and the fact that they were popular enough for Disney to see them as valuable.

I buy groceries at an employee owned chain that pays its people well, keeps unnecessary costs down, has a massive selection, and is consistently cheaper than almost anywhere else. It’s been interesting to see how some items have had minimal inflation while others have gone way up. And then to see those same items all massively overpriced everywhere else.

Anything I can buy there, I buy there. I spend a lot of money there. They have my undying loyalty, and all it took was for them to not be evil.

The people behind this shit? I wouldn’t piss on em if they were on fire. If they were being fed feet first into a wood chipper one by one, I’d only complain about the noise.

Rewards programs can make sense without this kind of fuckery. My local pizza place isn’t adjusting their prices, they still match the paper take out menus and coupons. But they have a rewards program because it incentivizes people to come back, and repeat business is worth the slight discount.

He says they need to invest heavily in EVs if they don’t want to get dominated by China. And apparently he thinks that setting ambitious regulatory goals for EVs only to back off before they take effect is harming their ability to compete.

And yet, he also lobbied hard for Trump to cut fuel efficiency standards. Funny how that works.

When my SO does this I always reference this scene in Duck Soup as a way to gently point out what they’re doing.

It’s an open and shut case. There is no rational legal argument for ending birthright citizenship.

Unfortunately, this court doesn’t seem to feel bound by little things like laws, precedents, the constitution or reality. If I had to bet on the outcome, I’d assume they will give Trump what he wants yet again. I want to be wrong about that, but at this point I think it’s a safer bet to assume this court will always do the worst thing possible.

The sound… of MEAT

According to Grok, the threshold is 50% of humanity. Apparently Elon Musk dying is as bad as or worse for humanity than a Thanos snap.

Judges should be part of the judicial branch, not the executive.

The reasonable solution would have been to include a mechanism for quickly and efficiently overruling these decisions when needed. They have to report to congress about anything that is withheld, but as far as I know they didn’t include a provision that would allow them to reject the given justification and order the release.

Everyday that I look at the feed I am reminded of the old /r/theonion + /r/nottheonion feed I used to love back in the day. The guessing game got less fun when it took over all the news.

These are the same shit stains that refer to legal immigrants and refugees as criminal illegals. The ones that condemn the idea of politicized prosecutions and claim no one is above the law while pursuing politicized prosecutions of people for daring to hold Trump accountable and not treating him as entirely above the law. These are the ones touting transparency while cracking down on whistle-blowers.

I could go on all day with this. Everything they say is in bad faith. They don’t care about being right, they just want to throw out soundbites to be repeated by propaganda outlets. Illegal orders are lawful. Following the constitution is seditious. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. There are five lights. The Star Wars sequels are just as good.

And the fact that they know they must lie is all the more damning.

As long there isn’t one of those fucking wind farms out there wrecking the environment and giving whales autism, right?

“Operation Charlotte’s Web”

The one where they send in some pigs.

All this effort to communicate the idea of bigger or smaller rolls instead of just giving us the total surface area. But then, this isn’t about informing the consumer it’s about making it seem bigger. If they just gave us a total measurement in sq ft that would make it too easy to compare prices.

It’s like guys measuring their dick, they aren’t terribly concerned with the validity of the measurement as long as the result sounds good.

I’ve seen people object to a 13 month calendar based solely on the idea that you can’t divide the year into quarters. But it’s actually really easy to remember. A quarter is 13 weeks, or 3 months and 1 week. So Q1 ends a week after month three, Q2 ends 2 weeks after month six, Q3 ends 3 weeks after month nine, and q4 ends after month 13 aka the end of the year. And since the calendar doesn’t change, you don’t even need to remember it, just mark the quarter ends once and you’re done forever.

Just compare that to the unnecessary complexity of the Gregorian calendar and the effort it takes to remember basically anything that changes from year to year, or what day of the week any given date or holiday falls on, or even just which months have 30 days and which have 31.

Great idea. I hear the epstein files have info on some filthy whore that was sucking Clinton’s dick.

He doesn’t admit defeat, he claims some kind of win or deal and then backs down.
