The only way this gets blocked is to steer it toward the Ellisons instead. Reasonable people can disagree, but to me, that’s even worse.

The classic “five senses” works well enough for the basic understanding of how we interact with the world, but doesn’t actually hold up under much scrutiny. You can apparently get up to 12 depending on how you want to define things.

The idea of five classical senses dates back at least to Aristotle, himself a rather classy guy. In De Anima (Of the Soul) he argues that, for every sense, there is a sense organ.

…

Let’s tweak Aristotle’s definition of what a sense is just a bit. Instead of a sense organ, each separate sense really only requires a different kind of sensory receptor. In the skin alone, there are at least four different kinds of sensory receptors: those for touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception (or body awareness).

And it was inside a huge (10k+) batch of pictures documenting the entire California coastline. Basically nobody had even seen it at the time she, or at least her lawyer, threw a fit about it.

I do. I’ve been reading Techdirt for over 25 years, so I’m sure I read the original post where the term was coined at the time it was first published.

US-centric answer: Murder doesn’t have any time limitations on being charged.

There are always going to be holes in the law, so it probably wouldn’t be difficult to find some example of a horrible crime that finds a loophole in this, but the general idea is that the worst crimes have no statute of limitations.

Misdemeanors are usually fairly short, many felonies are longer, sex crimes are often (but not always) exempt, and murder has no limit in any state.

I tried to help last November 5. No second chances for fascists.

Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won’t let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.

When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

It’s carbon all the way down.

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.
