Fwiw, apps like Boost don’t even show avatars (unless you tap through to the profile)

They burn it?? Balloon sinuplasty kinda squishes it back down or something but I haven’t heard about the burning procedure, eek

Yeah, he didn’t do that either. I read that they asked him to and he said that his hands were nice and clean already.

I assume the post is describing a 20 mph school zone because then yes, perfect thanks

If they’re matching the pace of the car ahead, explain the offense.

As someone outside the U.S., what is your default persona for anonymous/pseudonymous users until you know more about them? Just curious. Like, if you don’t have any information about them, do you read the words in the voice of a person just like you?

A concept of a plan.

This is a common problem when studios want a seasoned non-white actor: they find out they haven’t seasoned any. If you fail to cast minority talent in small roles through the years, you end up with only white actors with the chops for big roles.

Thank you, I was struggling to remember where I (and the cartoonist I guess?) had originally heard this joke.

Looking at post-industrial wealth distribution, they weren’t entirely wrong.

I’m not sure it’s a meme yet…right now it might be more of an obscure reference? Seems like people don’t recognize the photo, and out of context it isn’t obvious what it should add to the text.

They said they had to stay behind for 30 minutes, but they didn’t say what they stayed behind from. Lunch, maybe, or study hall? Recess, if they’re at a rare middle school that still offers it? Art? Seems like there’s a way it could work.

Fair, but that’s pretty much how a lot of people feel about imperial units, too.

It sounds like your group wouldn’t readily welcome a member who wasn’t an intelligent, rational individual. I wonder, if a current member experienced a crisis that led them to a kind of blind, irrational faith, would they still be equally welcome?

You’re right that it’s wrong, but ostracism doesn’t strike me as something that can be outlawed—not just because it’s one of our fundamental primitive social behaviors, but because of logistics. I’m curious how you envision it working? That is, you could probably forbid a church from declaring excommunication in a formal fashion, but could you actually stop its members from shunning someone? It would raise a lot more questions, like what if one member of the church is revealed to have abused another? Does the church still have to welcome them back?
