7·1 天前Almost as if the Founders who wrote the 1st amendment could see this coming.
This just reminded me of a funny story about a North Korean refuge who had escaped to South Korea. She was trying to figure out how buses worked and would stare at people getting on the bus to figure out how they paid.
She said that she noticed everyone would just kind of bump there butt on a sensor when they got on. Not knowing that something like contactless payment existed, she assumed that it must have just been some weird cultural thing that she didn’t fully understand.
So she worked up the courage to board a bus and just bumped her butt against the sensor. Obviously it didn’t do anything and the bus driver must have thought she was crazy.
Edit: Found the video! https://youtube.com/shorts/L8DeAqXzOtk
Journalists using soft language when discussing blatant reality bugs the shit out of me.
In a video shared by the congresswoman, Trump appeared to be shutting his eyes for a period of time while sitting in his seat at the game.
Just say he was sleeping. I get they do it to avoid libel lawsuits. But fuck it. It’s USA Today. Make him sue you and take you to court.
Lol that’s why the line was so long in the first place. Probably half the people in that line did the same thing.
There’s gotta be some way to figure it out. Lemvotes.org can lookup the user votes on posts and comments, so there’s gotta be a way to query the database and sort by comment score across instances.
26·2 天前Fuuuuuuuuck I’m tired of living through so many once in a generation crises.
Lol my buddy just married one of those. I don’t know the terms of their pre-nup, or if they even did one. Wish we had a remind me bot so I could report back in 2 years!
She calls it "Oh Shit I Have to Pay?” because that’s the step that most people completely tune out. They’ll put their items down, wait for the cashier to scan them, get everything bagged and then when the cashier says “that’ll be XXX” people just snap out of it like they’re dreaming and then fumble around to find their card. Like the step was completely unexpected. “Oh shit, I have to pay for all this?!”
A friend of mine made a game of this. At the grocery store, she labels people with “Oh Shit I Have To Pay?” Syndrome.
Her and her daughter text each other every time they encounter a person who somehow arrives at a cashier completely unprepared, who somehow managed to stand in line for several minutes and didn’t realize that they had to actually do something when they reached the front of the line.
I don’t believe that for a second. He got into politics because he thought it would make him even more money. The hatred was just a bonus.
Huh, it works on my machine…
55·4 天前The semester melted away like the cotton candy in that raccoon video.

23·5 天前As an American, I visited Normandy and the people there were very kind and welcoming to Americans. You’ve gotta be a huge fuck up for the people there not to like you.
How could you not believe in the scientific method? Propose a hypothesis, test for hypothesis, confirm or review your hypothesis, repeat.
Saying you don’t believe in that basically is the same as stating you’re dumb as hell and don’t believe in proving ideas.
Yeah as long as they’re not refusing to move until all tickets are checked, more power to you.
