If you have apples lying around, tearing one in half with your bare hands is actually pretty easy. There are quick guides on YouTube but basically, if I'm remembering right, you put the heels of your palms together at the bottom of the apple and finger tips at the stem and kind of squeeze the apple and try open the apple like a book. It makes a big difference having freshly washed hands.

Right. I fight not because I believe I'll win, or even because I believe victory is "possible", but because it's more comfortable for me so to speak to be fighting than to quietly and passively support the ideology I disagree with. It is more "restful" to me to be fighting a fight I believe in than to be resting in a world I hate.

More than a century ago in fact;

Wait, really?

Last night my dad was talking about this "liberal propaganda" about the "supposed climate crisis" talking about the movie Don't Look Up. Fuck it pissed me off, I don't know how to respond to that. Conservatives aren't in reality, every fact that disagrees with their backwards fantasy is just some kind of liberal conspiracy that "wise" men would never bother considering.

These were the words I used when discussing an upcoming potential termination,

"But the person I'll be on the other side of [this crisis of maybe termination] will be no more absolutely or permanently diminished than the one I became after any other of the subjectively substantial life-changing crises."

I've lived through some pretty painful shit. I feel quite angry about the misery I consider my life to currently be, but I still choose to live. With these words I was explaining that this "disaster" couldn't be any more miserable than the sundry other miseries I've learned to live with. The consequences of this "crisis" may absolutely be something I will hate deeply and bitterly, but I doubt it's going to be the straw that gets me to break this camel's back.

Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?

Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that's kinda a big part of solving it.

Well yippee, that's handy. I have eaten apples whole for years, the same thought never occurred to me for strawberries.

Oh this is fascinating! An example of the inverse could be maybe that Old/Older English didn't have spelling rules so much as habits?

I really want to read more about this. The article doesn't mention how this new law intends to target pimps and sex-buyers without punishing sex-sellers. We see time and again laws "intended" to target the worst perpetrators of a crime regularly being used to instead target the victims of it. How is this law phrased to protect against that possibility?

Oooh, let's see if they've got Bluetooth earbuds Edit: kickass

The former president covered the cost of the bond by putting 10% toward it and he worked with a local Atlanta bonding company Foster Bail Bonds LLC, sources told CNN.

I don't think I disagree with you, but with this comment you're kinda being an ass

Holy shit?

Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Mmmm I see you are a person of culture

I love my Thursday boots. I do a fair amount of standing and walking in them and wear them all the time and they've always been comfortable for me.

...supposed to

Can you just sniff paint in your own home and stay away from reasonable people?

Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?

Of course a broken person shouldn't be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit

Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.

Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that's dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.

I like that. I've not drawn my personal philosophy so explicitly but if I did, I think it would be a lot like that.

I read this article but didn't see, mind helping me get clarity?

What I read from the article is that the companies wouldn't give in to the unions' demands, Biden forced the unions to keep working but then kept pushing(?) for the demands of the unions'.

What powers does the president have to force / encourage the rail companies to adopt the demands of the unions? How did Biden keep pushing? What does pushing mean in this context?

Frustrated is too small a word for the feeling of having a question that should have a readily available answer
