But what are we going to do, peacefully protest loiter?
enforce prohibitions on urban camping and loitering;
Editing to clarify:If every unpermitted protest is deemed loitering, then it does not matter if people ‘start something’ because they will get scooped up, and thrown into jail for expressing their first amendment rights.I don’t know how long it will take for the courts to clarify/nuke the clause, but it’ll be enough time that plenty of people will lose their jobs for just trying to express their rights.
For some reason the idea of pulling a delicious smelling/looking corndog out of a pocket and handing it to a frazzled/sad random with a genuine “Hey, you don’t have to rawdog life alone — you can corndog it instead.” is like, Jesus-tier miracle shitposting.
I want a phone I can hold comfortably in one hand. I don’t need a larger screen, I need to remember to call the eye doctor.
No. I know. These phones aren’t for me. They’re for people who want to replace their laptop with a phone. The market is moving toward an all inclusive device, and the only way to make that work is dorky VR headsets, awkward projectors, or venti phones.
She could have been okay if she stood for anything other than the status quo.
She had to stand for something - I think that she was so unmemorable as a VP that people would have either looked to her past as a prosecutor, or to Biden’s massively unpopular policies on Palestine when trying to define her as a candidate.…. So she leaned into Biden’s Palestine policies. Like a fucking idiot.
I think that being the alternative to some dinosaurs wasn’t enough. I think she also had to have policies that departed from theirs. Alas, she didn’t and the U.S. decided it wanted something different. (Or the election was swayed by Musk’s illegal vote buying lottery scheme, which he’ll never be punished for, or perhaps those unaudited last minute code updates to voting machines swayed the election, but we’ll never know, because justice is a myth and democracy has always been just performative enough to prevent another rebellion in the U.S.)
I was in an entry-level “database” class that was administered online. I took it as padding to get credits to fulfill a requirement after switching majors. I figured it would be easy because I had a few years of on the job experience with databases.Although it was still the early days of online learning, my school did have a comprehensive online learning platform. The teacher was self-taught, and hosted the course on their personal website. While we did have a book and a syllabus, the actual course focused on how the teacher knew how to use Microsoft Access.They graded based on assignments that they handed out all at once at the beginning of the semester, plus tests. I did the entire semester’s homework in about 2 hours the first week, but found I kept missing test questions. After each test, it showed you the expected answers, and they often made little sense (not wrong, just weird – using anachronistic names for things, or the question was very specific about where menu options were that weren’t there anymore). You could retake the test as many times as you wanted (I don’t know if that was a bug or not), but I didn’t have that kind of time. So I just viewed source, where he’d clearly labeled each correct answer, and more or less skipped through the dumb quizzes.
We also had a sign that read “World’s Okayest Garage Sale →” that was presented as a single line on a board that was approximately 4 inches high by 3 1/2 feet wide. (10 cm by 1000 cm)
The timing of the SCOTUS case is no coincidence. […] Missing three members due to two resignations and one controversial firing, it lacks quorum. Thus it is unable to appear in court, make statements, or otherwise defend itself and its remaining bedrock regulations. From the standpoint of actors whose main interest is kneecapping the commission, now is the perfect time to strike.
I worked very hard all day on very small things. I was pretty well rested and properly medicated.
At the end of the day, however, I had made progress forward, but also had discovered issues with my earlier work, setting me back an amount commensurate with my progress.
Tuesday will be more challenging, I have some things that are causing me anxiety, and I expect them to be worse Tuesday. Whee.
