Considering the amount I have to say the term whenever ranting or debating, something that can be shortened is welcomed. I like the idea of calling “automated plagiarism,” since it can be shortened to “autoplag” which is also ugly sounding.

If you wanna support them during this time, they have a second location at Western/Montrose in Lincoln Square. The staff there is always really nice :)

Anti-Malarky Action

Ah, gotcha! I misinterpreted and just figured you didn’t know

US generally formats the date as MM/DD/YY

Ah, I didn’t know that. I’m not big into scooters most of what I’ve seen has been the rentable sitting ones that just have a post or standing scooters that don’t have storage, but that makes sense that others have implemented it already. I think you’re right about who it’s pandering to, the venn diagram of people who order this and people who order a cybertruck is a circle.

It has some good design features that I’m surprised hasn’t been implemented in many other vehicles I’ve seen (under seat storage), but I hate the design and can only imagine how bad those angles are if they hit a pedestrian. Even if you need a motorcycle lisence for higher speeds, the number of people riding on sidewalks to this day make this design scary to me even at lower speeds.

I’m a trans woman and I recall this myth when I first learned abt trans stuff back in '06 or so. It was widely believed and shared in trans spaces that phytoestrogen could help marginally before getting access to human estrogen. Sites like Laura’s Playground (one of the largest online trans resources at the time) were filled with junk like this, along with a bunch of heteronormative and gender-essentialist takes that were super damaging. I’m glad resources are better and more prevalent now.

That was a long winded way of saying that I’m pretty sure a chunk of the culture war bs regarding soy (“soyboys”) came out of these pseudoscientific claims on trans forums, mixed with a dose of racism (wrt asian cultures that use soy in cooking).

Yeah, I’ve been using the bus to visit home for 6ish years now and there’s no consistancy year to year on how it’ll operate. I prefer the train, but there’s only 1 train each way/day and it ends up being a shit deal time-wise for me since the train arrives into the small city in the late evening and leaves early morning. I dream for the day the midwest gets its shit together

I’m firmly in the fuckcars camp and agree with you, I was more wondering why they made that decision. Someone else answered that they don’t want to pay to use the station, so I guess my question to you then is what local municipalities can do to prevent this/promote better intercity travel. Are they able to require the buses to use the station (and pay for it’s use)? I’m worried this coach company would just shut the line down.

I should also note that this is a popular transit route, there is an amtrak train that connects the cities as well, but only one train a day. I take the bus bc the train schedule is a bad deal if you’re visiting the small city (arrive in the evening, depart in the morning). The bus isn’t as popular as the train, so it seems like they’re cutting costs wherever they can.

That makes sense, as much as I hate it. It’s odd though since the route used to be served by a local coach company in partnership with Greyhound and would stop both at the intermodal station in the college town as well as the bus depot in the main city. The new operater is FlixBus, who bought Greyhound and presumably could have used the station/depot if they wanted; they must have been trying to cut costs on the route.

Nope, it’s ridiculous. This route used to be operated by a different company that stopped at both the station and the depot a few miles away in another part of the city, but the new operater stops at neither.

I use a TCL Flip 2, bought it unlocked on ebay for $40. It has hotspot, mms, and emoji support (can’t remember if the included keyboard has any emoji, since I use a custom one that has some, but the system can recognize and display most emoji people send). It actually runs a slimmed down version of android and you can root it and run some stuff, though most things are a pain to use. I’ve got signal, jerboa, and adaway running on mine, though I haven’t found another browser that plays nice yet.

You age proportionally to the plant until the effect is done.

i.e. make a plant that takes 10 days to grow to maturity grow in the span of 2 days, you age 10 days in those 2 days
