    I'm at a US military base in the Eastern hemisphere so it's absolutely too late for us here.

    But also taking time to give him a proper trial ensures that the final ruling is constitutional and can't risk being declared a mistrial later on.

    Honestly in a way that kind of thing kind of ruins any chance of trusting the guy, mostly bc you can't trust him not to completely nuke the campaign bc he's being an utter dick (which by the sound of it he totally did). The first time someone starts shit for fun, how do you know they won't do it again every other time you hang out with them? Now you just have to assume they're a bitter and immature enough person to always think that it's fun to shit on everyone else's day.

    I was about to say, beer is as old as civilization itself. I don't think people can quite determine whether beer or civilization came first

    For real though, if anyone's old enough to remember using Netscape Navigator, they are definitely old enough to have had a grandchild by now.

    My week kind of just started for me. I'm on night shift and it's about 6pm so I'm about to get up and start getting ready to go to work. My sleep is all out of wack though so I'm pretty tired. Might take some zzzquil tomorrow morning when I get home.

    This needs to be more widely known. The human brain is so abstract and the idea of intelligence is so nebulous that it is literally impossible to quantifiably measure whether someone is a genius or not because everyone learns and perceives the world and expresses themselves in such different ways.

    I'm so tired of people perpetuating the idea that IQ can measure anything useful, when the only thing IQ scores do is perpetuate people's prejudices based on their flawed and narrow ideas of perceived intelligence. Everyone has room to grow and learn and there will always be someone out there who knows things that you don't.

  • Regarding the “Rust” shooting.

    The answer is an automatic yes in itself because weapons safety is taught nonstop in the army, from the moment you join and every single time you are up for weapons requalification.

    Peri's activation noise is a noise of happy suprise, because she apparently is so enamored with me that she is always overjoyed to see me no matter what. Rufus's activation noise is him groaning because I woke him up.

    I actually noticed that too, looking at all of them, all but one is an adaptation or sequel or a remake.

  • How are you brewing?
  • emolr emolr 1y ago 100%

    I've been pretty busy the past year, and most recently I've just been lazy, so lately I've just been using my French press. I have a cheap calphalon espresso machine but I guess at some point I'll clean it and use that again.

    Edit to add: I also use a bialetti moka pot for laziness.

  • This is how Rufus asks for belly rubs. No it's not a trap; he's a cat running on dog software.

    Rufus is so hungry for affection and love that he actually gets more upset when I stop the belly rubs.

    He's just a cat. Cats who have no certificate or documentation of pedigree don't have breeds because cats reproduce so fast.
