  • Gotta milk the franchise for all it's worth until there's nothing left

  • I've got Java code older than a decade I have to deal with too...

  • Taxes are generally already withheld, not filing generally means you won't get your refund...

  • Seconding this advice.

    I think also for me it helped to think of it as a long term effort. Trying to get into a relationship as fast as possible isn't really realistic or healthy. Once I stopped trying to hard to pull everyone I was interested in, I felt a lot more comfortable being myself and just shooting my shot, if it didn't hit or we didn't vibe it was ok.

    Definitely agree that it's a skill, and the more you do it the more comfortable you'll be. You've got this!

  • Imagine not leaving enough room to respond. You do this to another car (rear end) and you are automatically at fault. What's different in this scenario?

  • The name of the guy? Albert Einstein.

  • Also, I think phone screenshots with low battery is kind of a meme of its own, so maybe they immediately looked there to check lol

  • Nope

  • dang, this uncovered a memory I didn't know I had anymore

  • There's a great book "The Mathematician's Lament" that talks about how math teaching is almost guaranteed to make people hate it, but it's maybe not a conspiracy. Or is it!?

  • Gotcha, your issue is it straight up says "raise taxes for white neighborhoods" without the needed context of "current tax law has advantaged predominantly white areas, and so this bringing their tax responsibility to a value that more fairly represents their usage"

  • looks like it indeed is

  • For games with any sort of "victory points" system, I always start off teaching them with the exact same sentence: "the goal of this game is to score points." Sets the stage nicely for explaining the rest of the-- ah, nevermind, they've already glazed over

  • I don't think this will really amount to much. Where else are they going to shop that abuses labor as much as Walmart to keep prices low?

  • I'm not totally sure what you're saying no to, but detached single-family homes are mostly financially unsustainable for a municipality. They just don't generate enough tax revenue. You can check out this video for why (apologies for a YT link):

  • This is what I thought when I saw the talks with Rwanda.

  • I had a really weird dream when I was a kid that still sticks with me because it was so out there. Usually they relate in some sort of way to what's happened or how you're feeling, but this one was so off the wall I don't know what it was supposed to be.

    It started with me driving into a gravel parking lot, like for a campsite in the mountains. It's overlooking a decently steep slope down covered with leaves or pine needles with lots of trees around. I park and get out and I stand there holding a towel. An old beetle drives up and parks really close next to me. A Hispanic guy gets out, walks away, and I drop my towel for some reason. I watch him walk away for a few seconds. When I turn my car has turned into a giant sweet gum seed pod (gum ball), before looking down at my towel which has turned into an anthill with a bunch of ants coming out of it. That's where I woke up.

  • racism and keeping out the other

    Partially right, it is racism but they want the most vulnerable people to attempt to immigrate illegally (with no other choice, mind you) so they can detain them to use as defacto slave labor. Or just murder them, whichever seems more cruel. Remember, the cruelty is the point.
