Also wtf is the “Abused child forgive abusive parent and reunite happily ever after” trope, fuck that shit. Abusers do not deserve forgiveness.

No, but depending on circumstances and the work the abuser is willing to put into changing themself and making things as right as they can, forgiveness can be earned.

Pretty sure he’s been the bad guy for a long time.

“Sort of” because it isn’t a lawnmower, it’s possessing a lawnmower.

“But yeah” because that’s splitting hairs. 🤣

I don’t seem to have this problem on piefed.social, is it possible it’s instance-related?

Sounds like Linus Torvalds’s code review comments got into the training data.

She herself refers to how she played a “nuke-ular psychiatrist in a James Bonk movie” in the episode of 30 Rock where she and Tracy are leading a protest of NBC by their fellow idiots. 🤣

Some highlights from that episode.

In 1793 they pretty much did exactly that, establishing the power of judicial review via judicial review.

I love that San Francisco (NorCal) and LA (SoCal) are swapped.

(And also that NYC doesn’t actually include NYC.)

Well sort of. But yeah.

Oh, the article is from Popular Mechanics? So we can just ignore it entirely then.

I don’t know when it happened, but Popular Mechanics seems like it’s just, “Bullshit to make you open our article” now.

I’m aware, I’m quoting an episode of Archer (which I believe itself was referencing something else).

Crushed by an off-brand drink machine…just like that old Gypsy woman said!

Remaining illegally in the country is not a crime. It’s a civil offense. It does not make someone a criminal.

Don’t be an asshat.

It’s worth a watch. Or at least a stint as background noise while coding.

Apple did patent a process to use as few gold molecules as possible to create 24k gold, IIRC, back when they were designing the first Apple Watch.

In Michigan, it was necessary. We are able to make amendments to our state constitution via ballot proposal.

The legislature in Michigan had been Republican controlled for forty years. In 2018, a ballot proposal removing redistricting from the legislature and handing it to an independent bipartisan commission shared the ballot with another proposal legalizing weed. The legalizing weed proposal really brought out the vote, and so we voters enshrined in our state’s constitution that districting couldn’t be done by the legislature.

Following the new districting lines, power shifted to the Democrats (again, for the first time in 40 years). We’d had plenty of Democratic governors and a liberal-leaning state court system, but the legislature was gerrymandered to fuck so we were stuck. Now we have a legislature that represents the state’s population much better. It won’t always be Democrat, it won’t always be Republican, but it also won’t be extremely far right because that would be political suicide in a swing state where gerrymandering is illegal. This leads to compromise, which leads to slow but inevitable progress.

Voters should get to choose their representatives. Representatives shouldn’t get to choose their voters.

Yeah but how often have you looked at traffic in Cyberpunk and said, “Damn these look cooler than the samey boxes we have in reality.”

Man I wish concept cars were’t so impractical once you have to start including crumple zones and other safety features.

We’d have some really distinct vehicular style languages over the years, instead of the same vaguely boxy shapes with different sprinkles.

Concepts like this look so cool.

Even if this specific concept isn’t to your liking, you can’t deny that it would be unique. I fucking hate the cyber truck, it’s dangerous and stupid, but I have to admit it grabs my attention when I see one because of how different it is from all the samey cars around it.

They really believe that all suffering is a curse from their impotent god. And that everyone who is suffering deserves it for one vague “sin” or another.

Which is hilarious because according to their holy text that’s not how this works.

There are examples in the Old Testament of God being like, “I’m going to punish you because of such-and-such,” but that doesn’t mean every bad thing is a punishment.

Jesus disciples were like, “Why was this man born blind? Was it his sin or his parents’ sin?” And Jesus said, “Neither, duh.”

It’s depressing to me how focused on sin evangelicals are. The whole point of Christianity is that all have sinned and fallen short, so they need Jesus. But evangelicals don’t know shit about their own theology. They sing their songs about how great and powerful their god is and they go out to judge people and enforce their idea of the law.
