@mattbramanti @sportdrink either that or a Chinese restaurant

@sportdrink is that the new flavor

Although we've always accepted it, we heard your cries and have added the option to pay with Bitcoin Lightning. Go now and turn digital coin into physical hydration.

@upstatefederlst Think we can convince Roberts it's a poll fee?

Fees are not taxes.

@HeavilyRecruitd That's just where I think I am. Resignation is the proper action, and communicating why is appropriate, but a brief "I do not agree with the administration's policy/decisions regarding X" is about all that's needed.

Joe Kent's record is impeccable. No question. People - serious people who knew and served with him -vouch for his character. Who am I to question? His opinion and the manner in which he aired his resignation are, however, up for criticism as a public servant. Pretty simple.

@adesertdryad "Just dispose of the branded polyester noisemaking gift that your perfect-memory toddler just unwrapped with delight and Grandma made a big deal out of! Why are you such an ingrate?!"

We are largely post scarcity wrt toys and clothes. Unwanted/unneeded items represent a burden to the recipient because they create an avenue for control or guilt at worst and at best, mom has to then dispose of or store the items. It is basic etiquette to not make more work

@mattbramanti @BillyGribbin Higher than that they'd switch from their standard fonts to Times New only for the "scan to pay" text.

@BillyGribbin what are the odds that the judge and his clerk would both be named John Smith

Good old Baltimore City City

@pennyelizabeths MacKenzie to Lauren

Name a bigger downgrade than Pelosi to Jeffries.

@GlomarResponder Not ascending?

@egreghost And it's tyranny of the bottom quintile. (That said, some of these like the hammock rockers are seriously dangerous.)

Neat how any time a product is developed to give comfort to babies, at least one baby out of millions dies and the CPSC bans it, creating an arms race of parents buying up the products and then persistence in the resale market. Omelas moment.

@monkeynaught83 @mattbramanti @Aristos_Revenge and I said "you're just feeding SAMs to F-35s"

@mattbramanti @Aristos_Revenge These were not meant to eat SAMs and keep going.

the narrative yesterday: bahahahah where is your stealth god now amrika the narrative today: F-35s eat SAMs as a treat

@devusnullus @GlomarResponder "Die and go to heaven" is not the promise. "Be bodily resurrected in glory and live in the new earth like Adam was supposed to have made it" is. Christ's death and resurrection was to re-empower us to get back to the original assignment of putting the earth right, now.

@chrylis @GlomarResponder I think you're trying to say this as some kind of dig, but best as I can tell, 'eternal paradise', ie heaven is literally table stakes for every denomination of Christianity. Do you go there for all eternity after death or not?

@sondering__ @CLE_Lauren he already said to subdue the earth

@CLE_Lauren @chrylis

Never have I ever been more excited to review a book! Thank you so much for the opportunity @Plough

@nickcammarata Were the errors on accident or on purpose?

had major pipes bursts at a property i have. insurance broker reviewed the policy and was sure it wasn't covered. a few years ago would have stopped there, but put the giant pdfs into claude, said he thinks it's covered and would handle claims process. got payout today wohoo

@mattbramanti @opinioncasino Why is the M off baseline?

@opinioncasino fascinating

This female is retarded

@eigenrobot methinks there might be a clear distinction between those two classes
