The jar is great all around., both for bugs and bots.

Plasma piatol hits hard, but so few shots and I tend to flinch a little on release frk charging up so I’m not a big fan.

I personally love the crossbow on nids because it has the explosion for midsized bugs and closes multiple holes quickly. Just have to adjust for the dropoff. If I take that I need one of the faster firing pistols with many shots for the small crowds.

Honestly I like to mix up gear on anything less than a 7 just for fun. Always good to see if things are as good or bad as I remember since there are so many to choose from and almost all of them are decent now.

I’m not saying apple will do anything about it, just that they will let the cops know what is causing the reboots if asked.

The police could just ask Apple, it isn’t like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.

It is important that when we are addressing issues of sexism, that we try to make sure that the ideas are easily understood by women, men, girls, and boys so that everyone understands how to support equality. If we only focus our effort on men and boys, without recognizing the influence also has on women and girls, then it will not be as successful. For example, the social expectations of women and girls to dress in certain ways is commonly enforced by men, women, girls, and boys even if the influence is only targeted at women and girls. Not to mention the toxic masculinity that is applied to men and boys by men, women, boys, and girls that are commonly reinforced by telling men and boys to ‘man up’ in stressful situations.

You are right, that is smooth as butter.

Can’t those both be true at the same time?

Yes, but actually no.

If a system exists to serve a purpose but does something else it is broken. People may consider completely changing the system into something new to be fixing it, but those who think it needs to be destroyed don’t want the chance of problematic parts of the existing system to be carried over or may even think it doesn’t need to exist in the first place.

Let’s take the FBI. It fucking sucks for minorities because it has always been a shitty, racist, and bigoted organization. Sure, it occasionally enforces civil rights and handles federal crimes, but it is absolutely rotten to the core. Some people might think that firing everyone but keeping the structure could fix it by replacing the horrible people, but it is likely any reform will retain some level of shittyness because continuing to exist means the underlying structure and culture is likely to hang around because it is the same literal agency. Others might want to destroy it by eliminating it by name and replacing it with a new agency that enforces federal laws or maybe they don’t want it at all and want other agencies to handle enforcement on their own. The latter will most likely result in some of the old shitty FBI staff to be hired into either of those outcomes due to having experience, but the idea is that destroying is significant enough that there is a chance that the next time around we might avoid the same mistakes.

A more relatable example might be an old bike. Is it worth trying to repair when the underlying structure is worn out or is a replacement that achieves the same things more likely to have a better outcome. Or maybe you don’t even need a bike because you moved somewhere you can easily walk everywhere and you have other options for exercise.

Wabi-sabi is about being close to perfection, but not reaching it. Basically the same concept as hand made things having small imperfections instead of being cookie cutter.

It isn’t about apathy and filth.

Paper trail.

Hacking the machines would be useful for complaints that the counts weren’t accurate, but wouldn’t affect turnout. Republicans got the numbers they were expected to get, the lack of turnout hurt the Dems like it always does.

Doing something woth your brain leeps it working better, just like how physical exercise works. If you traded gaming for doing nothing, that would make the occasional time you do something feel like a lot of work.

It is also possible that you have some level of depression or your brain adjusted to all the stimulation and other things aren’t triggering the same feeling. It could lots of things.

The first step to try any of those for things is to find an activity that is mentally stimulating in some way. Not like a full dive into calculus, but maybe learning something new like a different hobby or maybe games that aren’t as engaging for long periods of time. I would recommend games with a short completion time and no grinding or rewards if that is what you found to be addicting.

Notr: I didn’t stop computer gaming but I did drop another time consuming hobby and it took some adjustment to find something else.

The dog on the barbie is a saterical website by a vegan, so it is neither ‘the rage’ nor a reason for anything to get spicy.

Because single poop bags tend to slide down and get mashed to the bottom so the can always smells life dog shit.

I absolutely would use males in that context. “Toxic masculinity has a detrimental affect on males of all ages” sounds perfectly fine to me because I don’t know of a different label for the group and males doesn’t have the same dehumanizing usage as females.

I’m mainly asking when ages span from birth to old age and the goup would basically be “female persons” or “male persons” which is clunky.

Sometimes it can be rephrased, but it often requires multiple words to mean the same thing. Plus “women of all ages” will be read as not including children.

I’m mostly pissed that sexists ruined the only single word term we have for half of the population.

An early 2000s Jetta my fiancee bought shortly before we got married. The electronic sensors kept dying throughout the warranty and after and were expensive as hell to replace, a pain in the ass to install becsuse I had to take off 6 parts to get to them, and it had horrendous handling in snowy/icy weather. Got rid of that lemon a year after we were married and replaced it with a 2005 Camry that was super reliable and cheap to maintain for the next 18 years.

The Canrywas still going strong when I traded it in for a truck due to changing needs. Literal opposite of that stupid Jetta.

What is a good word to use for people who are female of any age including young children that are not old enough to be called women in addition to women?

‘Women and girls’ is pretty clunky when talking about something that is gender specific, but applies to all ages.

Cooking by the Book: A Lil Bigger Mix

I’m saying Dems did better than a wet turd, and a wet turd should have been enough.

Anyone who chose to vote for Trump was the actual problem, whether they voted for him before or not. They chose violence.

Rationally implemented tariffs to keep people employed by countering foreign imports is the goal, since it is hard to complete on price with slave labor that is common in things like clothing manufacturing. It doesn’t have anything to do with landlords.

Obviously Trump is not proposing rationally implemented tariffs.

That seems completely serious and not satire at all.

Since I never saw the videos, my assumption was that ‘wants another baby’ was wanting to sleep around with multiple partners as in ‘I love you baby’, not having a literal baby. The six pointed stars and the cradle is pretty fucking clear it is about a Jewish woman sleeping around to have multiple babies, and yeah that is apparently one of those ‘Jews are taking over’ racist stereotypes.

Now I’m guessing that the Sign is a swastika.

Thanks for the link, I’m gonna go throw that album in the trash and feel like a jackass for not catching on earlier.

That would also fit.

Another would be Charlie as people who want police reform and Lucy being the Dems.

If only the majority of voters understood anything more detailed than someone shouting a slogan over and over.

It is great that Harris had a plan. That plan must also be dumbed down to the common voter while campaigning to get through. I mean, Republicans had Project 2025 that was widely available and a ton of Trump voters are going to be surprised when it is implemented because they didn’t read that either.
