That’s a special kind of evil. I think I’m mostly ok with it.

We are not the same.

Yep. I went to school with someone who was legally blind, though she had a large device with a camera and CRT screen to blow up the text so she could make it out.

That wasn’t funny.

You went through all that effort without knowing why? Wtf.

It’s not terribly difficult to find recipes for explosives online. Take up a collection among like-minded people to purchase supplies, rent a vehicle, and park it in the garage of a target. Low-effort terrorism.

Some things take a lot of time and knowledge, but budget-terrorism also exists.

I felt gross upvoting this. It’s pretty well done.

My family lives in Wichita. My niece and nephew are school-aged. People like this put them at risk. Fuck right off.

Presumably. They want to kill all Palestinians or drive them out. Either is acceptable to them.

The “war” in Gaza isn’t meant to take out Hamas. It’s meant to eradicate the Palestinian people.

Because of in-fighting.

And have multiple copies in at least two locations of anything truly important to guard against disaster (such as a fire or regionally appropriate natural disaster). I got a spare drive to copy all the music that I’ve made and sent it to my father in a different part of the country. I could lose everything and be pretty bummed, but not that (without severe depression). I also endorse use of a safe deposit box at a bank if you don’t have someone who can hold data in a different city.

I heard it in the south. Tennessee.

Roughly one third. I believe it’s Wyoming that gets an equal number of Senate seats as California while having one twentieth the population (I could be wrong about which state, but the statistic is the important part). My state gets the same number of representatives in that house of government with twenty times as many people. Meaning that my vote is diluted twenty times or theirs is amplified twenty times.

It’s a shit show.

This is great. Just to let you know, whatever decision you make is wrong. Cheers!

I’ve had two kitties that got one or two pounds overweight and both were long-hairs. I always figured that cats that are built for colder weather have an instinct to eat and bulk up in case of food scarcity. My short-hair kitty has stayed slender which, to me, seems to back that up. But I don’t know anything scientific or medical, it’s just an observation.

Not OP, but I had to take my little buddy to got to the vet under dire circumstances. I held him, wrapped in a towel for warmth, like a baby. I talked to him and he talked back but never opened his eyes. I couldn’t be in the room when they gave him the shot or after. Now I’m crying.

He just wanted to give you a present.

Damn human didn’t eat the mouse I worked to catch a-gain.

Monster!

Aha, thanks for pointing that out!
