Well, when you get to college, they'll teach you that writing can have intentional errors, including grammar errors, to achieve a specific effect in the mind of the reader. In your mind, the effect was "I gotta correct this guy on the internet. I won't bother checking his comment history, I'm just gonna assume he doesn't know what an adverb is."

Are you 16 getting an A in English class?

I always feel weird about these, like that dril quote. Shakespeare, Hobbes, Dril, and the people who worked on gargoyles all share the same thing: THEY ARE WRITERS. They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good. These amazing quotes like "face god and walk backwards into hell" don't happen by accident, they are intentional creations by people who are doing their absolute best to write something memorable, and occasionally succeed.

If you are putting something in a special place, SAY IT OUT LOUD while you are still looking at it. "I'm putting the screwdriver on this shelf."

You'll still forget but you'll feel extra dumb when you finally find it again.

Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don't even like to shop any more at places where they don't sell it.

This sounds like my bag. The director has done a VHS movie and is otherwise mostly known for being a composer? No idea how that'll play out. Aaron Paul though.

It's true. Eating them after you redistribute their wealth seems like it would have an effect of scaring the rest of them out of accumulating more wealth but it's been demonstrated repeatedly that fear of punishment doesn't prevent crime.

Everything he knows that we don't is in a banker's box of highly classified documents, the location of which he no longer remembers.

The moment every candidate fears: The day an unhinged, barely-functioning amoral lunatic says they shouldn't be in the race. Everyone knows this is what candidates say to other candidates when they are definitely going to win.

"Abolish billionaires" doesn't mean "kill anyone you want as long as you catch a couple of billionaires in the explosion." In fact, it doesn't mean "kill billionaires". It means tax them until they're not billionaires.

This is gross.

That place only makes money from advertisers. It has lost something like 80% of them since he bought it. This is happening despite Twitter's actual users still mostly hanging around.

The advertisers are voting with their wallets; your wallet actually doesn't apply here. Apathy of the users doesn't apply here either. Musk continues to run the site the way he wants because, fuck it, who cares, he's still richer than god. None of this matters to him.

It's been back for a while btw.

Interesting. I also had only the vaguest impression of the person pushing the ball, but I definitely caught a glimpse before the ball rolled off the table. Slacks and a blue shirt, that was about it.

In fact, turnout has been the main thing that has made the difference for many elections. For decades. Very few people in the country still have any space to change their minds, in either direction. You might as well ask them to show up to the voting booth and change their religion (or adopt one).

But a lot of people can change their mind about whether they vote (which still seems insane to me). Almost everyone in that condition sees Trump is an evil sack of shit and understands that Harris is at least competent, if they know nothing else about either of them. Reporting on things like mental decline and Project 2025 is a way to convince them that we're in danger, and it might matter for them to show up.

Could you explain it? I zoomed in just to see it and I still have no clue

He can never be the worst person on Earth, Trump has that locked in. But it now makes sense why he wants to go to Mars.

Okay but seriously why does Alice immediately bring up a hypothetical person getting bitten when I'm in the room bleeding from my actual dog bite? Alice doesn't give a shit about me.

Knowledge is knowing the common definition of fruit doesn't include tomato.

Imagine owning a Cybertruck and being like "this doesn't draw enough attention to me, the main character"

This feels like a case where botanical science should just have picked a different name. If you invalidate everything people think of as a berry and then tell them a dozen things that are clearly not berries are, in fact, berries, you're just making the word berry meaningless.

Berry means a tiny, usually sweet, fruit-like growth from a plant. The kind that is usually picked in bunches. The kind that you use to make smoothies. That's a berry.

Botany did us all a disservice by choosing the word "berry" to mean "a specific thing which invalidates everything you think is a berry." Just call that plant structure something in Latin, ffs.
