The last time I went back to visit my parents, I just sat in the living room and listened to the quiet. They’re on the outskirts of a small town, and there is zero traffic. The house stays at the right temperature with no fans or other mechanical help. The nearest neighbor is much further away than at my suburban house.

I imagine at least one modern version of the origin of the Wayne family fortune is through the tech industry. So clearly it would run Wayne-dows.

Some states have required that job postings must include a pay range for the job in question, so since the company won’t post the range, they refuse to hire in those states.

Not a lawyer, but this sounds shady as hell. Also probably not illegal, since they are specifically avoiding the places where it IS illegal.

There are all sorts of (backwards, ignorant) reasons why they may not want to disclose the pay rate, but it immediately puts me into the worst assumption that it’s some sort of bait and switch scam. They can “unofficially” tell you what some people make, or what the mean earnings are (inflated due to a few high earners), to get you in the door, but most people won’t touch that. Like MLM job where you’re responsible for getting your own business. Or where you get a minimum wage base salary and a few people get huge commissions, but most barely scrape by.

The selfish narcissistic philandering judgemental racist pedo isn’t christ-like???

Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?

You don’t know how to use the three seashells?

I hope the next President makes two changes to the WH:

1. Restore the previous incarnation of the East Wing, but with a plaque listing all the people and companies that supposedly paid for it, labeled “In remembrance of these individuals that bribed the President.”

2. Leave the paved-over Rose Garden, and rename it to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Concrete Slab.

He’s also pretty big on people sticking their nose so far up his ass he could kiss them on the lips.

I’ll admit, I only made it through part B. This is where you think that because you are the only one to have this thought, it must be a simulation. It doesn’t actually mean that, but that’s irrelevant anyway because you aren’t: The Anthropic Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle) is a well-known part of cosmology and philosophy.

Living at only one point in time doesn’t have any greater meaning. Flip this the other way: imagine you have a minimal amount of hand-eye coordination, and you can hit a dart board, but not enough to hit a specific number. So you throw a dart and hit a 3. The chances of that are 1/20, and the chances you hit the very specific spot on that 3 is astronomically smaller. That doesn’t mean it’s special, it’s just where you hit.

Your observations and experiences aren’t meaningful because they’re planned, they’re meaningful because they’re yours, and you couldn’t have them at any other time.

People are complicated, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a gay man being a true far-right christian in 2025. There are religions compatible with being LGBT, but it’s just hard to reconcile that with modern christo-fascism.

Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.

It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.

My wife will scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher, and not start it because it’s not completely full.

They’re already so clean, the next person in the kitchen has a very difficult time telling if it has been run or not. JUST too dirty to eat from again, but also too clean to see at a glance. So annoying. I even got one of those clean/dirty magnets so we can signal to everyone, but then people forget to switch it.

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.

“A judge shall not engage in any partisan political activity,” Nachtman read.

Science is non-partisan. Claiming otherwise says more about the science deniers than the folks with a snarky decoration in the yard.

And if childhood cartoons determined our actions, whole generations of kids would have wiped out the roadrunner population by dropping anvils on them (or attempting to, anyway).

It’s weird that this has become such a controversial opinion. The internet is supposed to be open and available. “Information wants to be free.” It’s the big gatekeepers who want to keep all their precious data locked away in their own hoard behind paywalls and logins.

If some clanker is going to read my words, it’s a very small price to pay for people being able to do the same.
