A few clowns short of a circus

I know, right? It turns up on the sorrel in my garden every year

Trump mandated that the language name be changed to Americanese

This is fun because of the assumptions it makes of the reader before it’s funny, and once you get it, you’re in the ‘in’ crowd. I lold

I’m not sure what kinda gymnastics the wheelchair user’s got to be doing to get on the shitter once they’ve rolled themselves into a stall backwards… Or why it’s only after a shit that they can’t use doors

It’s a burrito

Picks from a list of films with similar runtimes and jumps you in at the same point from the beginning. Now you’re 20 mins into sharknado 4, have no idea what’s supposed to have happened. Doesn’t matter. It’s sharks in a tornado it’s not too hard to follow.

People do kinda pick where they are though? If there’s some unoccupied housing in Denver, but you’re living in Austin it’s not necessarily useful, that’s what I meant. I agree in principle on social housing, but there would probably need to be some kind of associated projects – either new construction or housing where ppl live but there isn’t enough accommodation, or new jobs created in areas with surplus, or both… And then you also need to think about local amenities (shops, hospitals, parks, schools, that sort of SimCity thing)

Sorry, I might have come across as if I fully disagreed with the notion, but I really don’t - I just think that the idea only works with a more integrated policy.

Do people get to choose where they live in this scenario, or do we just allocate housing based on where’s currently unoccupied?

I was once like you. Until started optimising performance. There’s always a better way.

I think landlords make a lot of sense for commercially-zoned property, and for residentially there needs to be some way to live somewhere even if you can’t afford the mortgage deposit. So there’s nuance here that needs addressing IMO.

Ok so like this shouldn’t be too hard to explain. I assume this is your first time on this planet? Well it doesn’t matter. Sometimes someone will say or imply two separate things in the same sentence. An example might be something like ‘have you seen my new green pencil?’. Now these things might not always have a relation – new and green do not necessarily imply one another. But they have a semantic link nonetheless. Doctor does not necessarily imply intellectual, but may be considered relevant. Idk man stop getting upset

Not sure students are necessarily benefiting? The point of education isn’t to hand in completed assignments. Although my wife swears that the Duolingo AI is genuinely helping her with learning French so I guess maybe, depending on how it’s being used

Try that count on each of 5 separate browser window. Amaeteur. I exaggerate, of course. Only a couple have that many tabs. I actually closed a window today - it only had 8 tabs - and opened a new one with more tabs from the references of the pages I closed. Eventually I will read the internet.

I think that’s a different kettle of fish. You try telling AWS (or perhaps more relevantly Palantir) they can’t use a VPN to gate access to internal systems and you’ll have a much bigger fight. And once it’s permissable in some contexts, then it becomes much harder to gatekeep it even in contexts that you do legally forbid, since you can’t just blanket ban it at ISP level. Of course, I suppose you could enforce that ISPs blacklist certain VPN providers, but… Yeah anyway it becomes too tangled once you’re beyond the legislation phase and enforcement becomes a nightmare is what I guess I’m trying to say.

Good luck with banning something that’s an integral part of most large enterprises’ internal security practices

mRNA vaccines are, of course, just the absolute tits - but they’re a tiny proportion of modern vaccines and the very first ones are one a few years old, created to treat COVID. But yeah, 100%, we don’t use the virus in the vaccine! Even the first ever vaccine was (as you will know) not created from the disease it was meant to treat, but from one similar enough that it gave protection to the other. And smallpox doesn’t exist any more so, well, that worked out pretty well didn’t it. You don’t give someone the virus to stop them getting that virus, but you might well give them a virus, in an attenuated form of the target
