Tell them to get a PO Box, problem solved. Opens up a bunch of fun new problems since now you have to guess whether a form needs the mailing address or street address, but the mail will be secure. 😏

There are some ppl who propose to lessen global warming by releasing particulates/certain gasses high in the atmosphere in order to absorb/reflect some of the sunlight back into space before it reaches the ground. The idea is broadly accurate, but the physical/social obstacles are insurmountable.
Which is what is happening right now with birth control implants. For some people it really, really hurts (like screaming and fainting bad) and they're given no warning nor pain-relief.
Yeah, "lockdown" is problematic cuz America didn't have a lockdown but a bunch of liars are dead set on pretending there was one and it was wrong to do so. Whining about schools going online and the harm it did to children being the big argument.
When I watched the video, it looked like the player was focused on getting the autographs done and didn't realize the hat he held up was taken by the wrong person. (I didn't watch with sound on, if that makes a difference.)
Pro-child abuse people mad they aren't allowed access to their grandkids. 🤔
Animals that have successfully filled a niche may not evolve major changes for tens of millions of years. But cats aren't too static. Extreme speed has evolved twice (cheetah, American cheetah), saber teeth 4 times, and manes/cooperative hunting in lions.
Meowing is a natural behavior for mother/kittens. In captivity, kittens learn that meows get attention from humans and so continue doing it as adults. If they don't learn it when young (like in feral populations) they generally are silent as adults. Meowing at ppl is cultural, not genetics.
You have to pay attention to other people to imitate them accurately. 🤷
The only reason not to block him is so you can cheer on Martha when she drags him. 😉
In-person church services were known superspreader events! A bunch of people singing hymns together when singing sprays virus particles everywhere. Churches were allowed to and did do digital services via Zoom, streaming, whatever they could think of.
Take a real close look at the American flag on the hat real close in both pictures and then tell me you trust the accuracy of the output picture. AI is a scam, full stop.
Stop being overly credulous and spreading misinformation, y'all. You're letting scammers take advantage of you.
Technically, leeches have legitimate medical uses related to blood flow/clot prevention in localized areas, so a doctor of leech therapy would have a good understanding of the circulatory system, which seems to be what is ailing in Trump. We're gonna have to hope for a chiropractor!
Most of her output was before no-fault divorce, tho!
Wait until you see human babies. 😉
Agatha Christie is like 1/3 murdering old people for inheritance, 1/3 women who murdered their husbands as backstory, 1/3 old people dying of cancer, and 1/3 racial slurs.
Wikipedia says that's the "fat villain variant" and unsurprisingly people are more enthusiastic about pushing the villain onto the train tracks in order to save the others. (Which is why trans people are being villified/dehumanized so hard right now!)
We're going to have to defeat fascism to even get to "having fair elections in 2028" so talking about voting for Newsom to save democracy is putting the cart so far forward of the horse that they're in different counties.
It's wrong to send him death threats or to harass his family (seriously, people, get a grip), but he deserves all the bad publicity and online mockery he got. A badly run business filled with conspiracy-brained nonsense about food and nutrition.
It took me multiple readings to get the shoe pastry pun in Hogfather. 🤦
You kill children by proxy, so what does the Three Fold Law hold in store for you? Every measles death is partially upon your soul.
They are kind of like moai for individual homes.
That *would* be very funny, but hear me out:
It's cuz the US Consumer Product Safety Commission used to test toys and force companies to recall or provide safety warnings on toys. But the Trump admin is gutting that, too.
Lotta cowboy hats and the white sundresses the three(?) women are wearing are extremely conservative-coded.
Apparently the lower body temperature changes the fat tissues in ways that make it particularly delicious when rendered down. More buttery.
Chicken meat production isn't much affected by avian flu, in large part due to the fact that the time between hatching and slaughter is very short, so there's only a few months they can catch it in, and there's always new batches on the way.
Put him in a pen full of hungry pigs.
wow, I didn't realize you were such a hero 🫡🫡🫡
Nah, if any show is going to be haunted, it's going to be one of them ghost hunters or true crime shows. There aren't as many fans, but they can do some really bizarre stuff.
Not the contestants, but the writers and producers and advertisers of the show deliberately trying to make as much drama and online engagement as possible.
They literally do that, too.
Meta and Instagram have allowed their product to make teens suicidal for a long time. Like, this was 6 years ago.
That's the "fat villain" variant (Yes ethicists were all "obviously one person alone couldn't halt a tram... but what if that person was really fat?")
Obviously the man is making up bullshit, and wouldn't know mitochondria from midichlorians. But. The main mitochondrial dysfunction disease I know of is myalgic encephalomyelitis, and one of the main triggers seems to be viral infections. So vaccines prolly reduce ME. The cruel irony of reality.
That's not the argument he's making, tho. Logically you'd cut services to the 1000 without considering political alignment, but his argument is to cut off Republican voters, regardless of whether they are the 1000 or 100000.
Of course the outfits are similar, they're both Western wear! It's hardly changed since the 1950s (when Woody was designed, canonically).
That's a woman, and she's wearing typical Western wear. No guarantee that she does any kind of outdoor labor or hobby, tho. A lot of it's cultural/fashion even for people who farm or ride horses or whatever.
The alternative is pointing guns at the photographer (and hence the viewer), which is better than pointing at children, but not by much.
Americans don't eat a lot of pumpkins. Field pumpkins aren't very good to eat, and squash varieties are usually cheaper and more likely to be in grocery stores year round.
The difference between botcats and lynx is that bobcats are the ones that squat in foreclosed or otherwise abandoned human habitations. 😉
But your best bet is to find a local group of some kind and organize with them.
Lots of tutorials/ideas here: archive.org/details/reci... (Downloads at bottom of page or there's a physical book you can buy, too.)
No actual problems in their lives.
Amazing. 🙄

Social media has been refusing to do moderation forever. Facebook had all that Cambridge Analytica stuff in mid-2010s and then it helped facilitate Myanmar and Sri Lanka's anti-Muslim hate crimes in late 2010s.
Like, 1 and 2 are both clearly pumpkins. 3 is not. 1 is C. pepo, 2 is C. maxima. But 3 is also C. pepo, so 1 and 3 are closely related while 2 is not.
There's no biological reality of what a pumpkin is, it's a purely social definition. Any cultivar of Cucurbita with a hard orange shell and firm orange flesh at maturity is a pumpkin, and sometimes not even the orange exterior is necessary.
Not the point, but 12 and above has broken my brain. Single-celled micro-organisms and alien lifeforms which may or may not exist are closer in than plants that we can see and interact with? Mars dust is closer in than human artifacts like the Mona Lisa or your favorite stuffed animal as a child? 🤔
The funny thing is, they weren't giving the spiders drugs to test the drugs, they were giving drugs to spiders in hopes that they would spin their webs at a more reasonable hour. Nowadays we can just put spiders under 24-hour video surveillance, so yay progress, I guess. 🤔
Turns out doctors hate watching healthy kids die more than they love fascism. Which says a lot about how unhinged anti-vaxxers are. Modern society simply couldn't work without vaccines.
In parts of the US, cats with access to the outdoors can be infected by a rodent botfly that burrows into the back of their neck, in case you needed another reason to keep your cat indoors!
Joe Rogan, soy boys, blah blah blah
Fun fact: 6000 years ago humanity was so desperate for seed oils that they grew the ancestor of lettuce for its seeds, which is fucking insane when you consider how tiny the seeds are, and also that they can float away like dandelion seeds.
Unpasteurized cheese can and does make people really sick.
Honestly I just use a couple of socks folded flat for each hand.
The American robin is a thrush, like the fieldfare is.
While it's true there have been cases of female lions with manes, it's funnier to assume lions repopulated the Earth after the Flood via mpreg. 😉
Deer will eat live birds and other small animals. And they will attack humans (including a fatal attack on a child in Yosemite) if they get used human food. Less dangerous than bears, maybe, but there's a lot more of them! cw: photo of minor injury in link gazette.com/pikespeakcou...
I guess they were counting on their being rich enough that their daughters were off-limits, and if not, well, it's not like girls are real people to them, or they wouldn't be hanging around Epstein in the first place.
Good thing there's alt text.
Missed opportunity to go full dog Latin and give him Lucius as his middle name. 😉
It's the same brand and flavor, so yes.
Doesn't seem to work for individual posts flagged as rude, but at least people are no longer auto-muted.
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
I stand corrected then. Extremely small pool of competition and he still couldn't make it work, lol.
Extremely niche audience + notorious child murderer seem like bigger barriers than lack of quality. It's not like modern Christian End Times lit is known for its discerning quality and sophisticated readers.
Including George, apparently...
I know it's not the main point, but why on earth would you give your "phones for kids" company a name that makes them think of dogs?
Yeah. Being a disabled child is hard enough without having a selfish piece of shit for a mom. 😕
Boomers have aged into the peak cancer rates.
Dumb question, how do we know it was infanticide not natural mortality due malnutrition and disease? Even rich people would have had at least 30% child mortality rate due to disease in the 1800s, and poverty would have made it worse. Life without vaccines and antibiotics was awful!
AFAIK in most states Real ID doesn't prove citizenship.
Mammals can digest chitin (which is also found in mushrooms, if you want a less crunchy source of chitin in your diet).
The staffers who write the tweets would probably be better than Newsom, and I don't particularly like the tweets!
Deflating tires isn't even property damage. Might as well complain about chalk drawings on the sidewalk being property damage. 🙄
It's AI generated, so.
Also anything else would involve working together and sharing the rewards.
On one hand, indirect threats can still be dangerous (see everything Libs of TikTok ever does), on the other hand the fact that they only quoted you indirectly to make your indirect threat look like a direct one speaks volumes. 🫠 May T&S walk on Legos barefoot until they get their shit together.
It should be legal for people who publically announce that slavery was good/no big deal to be enslaved until they decide otherwise. A couple of weeks of 12 hours of manual labor on inadequate food with whippings for failing to meet quotas and they'll miraculously decide slavery was bad after all. 🤔
I think it's a pair of supraorbital whiskers (the eyebrow ones), just out-of-focus and at a weird photo angle.
They can never leave the rest of us alone, their egos are such that they must ban this stuff for *everyone* and even if they were content to leave the rest of us alone, they'd still be harming their own children with their woowoo shit.
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC all have universal vote by mail (*all* registered voters get a ballot mailed to them). Guess what most of those states/district have in common?
If you didn't get the updated vaccine last year, you live in the US, and you're under 65 and not high-risk: now's the time to get your shot. It's free with most insurance.
I've never had much luck with this set of products, but I only tried them after generic stain remover failed and the stains were therefore well set in.
There's not supposed to be antibiotics in milk (milk from cows taking antibiotics is dumped/fed to calves), but it's easy enough to cheat in conventional settings. Organic milk has stricter testing and less incentive to cheat (animals aren't allowed antibiotics ever, so it's pretty safe.
Boy, I can think of many ways to make people dealing with government paperwork easier without needing to waste a ton of money and time on broken AI. Much less means testing and IRS does basic taxes for you, for starters.
Also the Republicans are great at retaining and motivating *their* single-issue voters, so maybe Democrats ought to support policies that bring in the left-leaning single-issue voters, too.
"Revenge is bad" because society has agreed to do justice to the perpetrators of acts that would trigger non-petty revenge. But if society continually fails to do justice, then what? 🤔
Technically, the cat has a Van Dyke beard, since it has a black patch on the chin, but that doesn't mean it's not evil. 😉 (IMO, TVTropes is a lot less addictive than it used to be, but use caution about clicking on the link if you are an easily distractible person.)
"The US prison complex is far worse than the Gulags." Multiple things can be terrible at the same time. 🙄
I'm not saying milk sold (to individuals, not businesses) for animal consumption has to be human-grade, but it should be pasturized.
There's a pretty easy solution for this loophole (at least in states that have functional governments, which, uh, is not a lot): prohibit selling raw milk to consumers for human *and* animal consumption. Calves do just fine on pasturized milk.
We can hate Nazis without needing to praise other leaders who comitted widespread human rights abuses. "Epic guys" don't lead countries that engage in colonization, cause famines, or have secret police and internment camps (which means F. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill are out of the running too)
Slavery. No need for Reconstruction without the Civil War, no Civil War without slavery.
