They hate it when you clown on Sparta like a smug Athenian too.

It is a route towards self preservation that is not an uncommon strategy, this environment especially.

Must have made Christmas easy

Quite difficult at the time, actually.

Damn, this is the first time I have seen something that isn’t the opposite issue of overcrowded and underfunded schools. Well the underfunded part still remains at any rate.

As an adult with a family: Yes, but nothing like when I was younger. The biggest shift for me primarily was to games that are not competitive or multiplayer.

I can’t do the 25-60 minute intense gaming sessions with or against other players. I have to be able to stop everything I am doing at a moment’s notice. I feel bad having to drop on people.

Also I can’t do the FPS games now because I’m old and my eyes just can’t anymore.

I said this in another thread about this article: They’re just flatly dividing the 1.3 billion total budget that was allocated over the years by the 6,300 number of homeless counted in 2023.

This budget likely includes programs serving homeless populations as a whole and its staffing, administration, etc. Given the time period this likely includes program funding that started, and then ended, with special funding local health juridictions recieved during covid.

Source: worked in the region in question in a local health juridiction through covid. Cutting programs and keeping police sweeps didn’t help the homeless but it tended to satiate the local businesses and residences impactes.

Rare W for my representative, continued L for their party.

Country buys foreign material, uses security.

Babydog’s getting through, maybe.

Appears it was McConnell, which makes sense because he broke with the Party over posturing towards Russia if I recall correctly.

The zionists won. It doesn’t need reminding.

A movement tried to make Palestine a relevant political issue for the electorate. It got stomped out. I don’t get this sentiment to keep stomping.

There’s a jobs program in there somewhere.

It gets real dangerous if the National Guard unit hesitates or refuses to take a shooting order and the Marines are ordered to respond to that as mutiny.

That’s how it’d be an equivalent flashpoint for violence I think.

It happened before the 1960s too, even!

Bladder sourced is what the study determined, with the fluid being normal urine or Skene’s gland secretion, but likely some combination.

Plausibly there could be pure glandular secretion squirt. Or urine. But likely a mix.

Moral ABCs never disappoint.

They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.

A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.

You had me until Nespresso.

Coffee would’ve been a great alternative to obligatory Fuck Nestle.

Looks delicious. Brinner is the best meal.

children’s railway

I had to look this up.

Damnit I want these for America.

It isn’t a paradox, or it doesn’t have to be. It isn’t a seemingly false or untrue statement that belies a deeper meaning.

It is a definitional and logical conclusion that a concept cannot tolerate its anathema and inverse.

Chemically tolerance means the limit at which something begins to degrade or an organism has to/begins to adapt. This is at least what I interpret with what is being brought up with tolerance of intolerance: when adaptation or degradation is required, the limits of tolerance have been reached.
