That sounds about right
Jesus
I will take the opportunity to resurrect an old debate with @tobyn.bsky.social over pension regulation. Which is simply to say that not every possible risk should be regulated out of existence! Pension funds had perfectly adequate capital levels for the pension related risks they faced...
Normally we're here for weekday night games and it's a VERY different crowd
I'm entirely unfamiliar with him lol
I assume new Blippi but I have no children so legit no idea lol
We did not realize it's Kids' Day and Blippi is doing the 7th Inning Stretch
Yesterday did not spark confidence
And we found @firstderivative.bsky.social!!
I canât find the lie in this.
I am forever in awe at the insanity of drivers trying to zipper merge into the parking lot at Citi Field
ME: The last few days have been fun and all, but I worry that in a world where all better futures have been foreclosed upon, the only fleeting joy to experience will be the deaths of monsters. COWBOY LAWYER: I just made pardner at my firm
Nobody knows the troubles Lorettaâs seen. Nobody knows the troubles.
Same here, we ended up with the fully loaded premium trim package. The 2025 version of this car was $75k so it was a no brainer to get this one for $20k once we did the side by side comparison
That was one of the first things we noticed was how much heavier it is than the Infiniti. That's good to know though. I'm totally confident in the engine on this one too, I know multiple people who are still driving the 2004s they inherited from their moms in high school lol
So for me it was Lexus vs Acura. I'm a Honda girlie in part because I think their cars are more fun to drive, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to find an MDX between 2012 and 2019 that would stay on the lot long enough for us to test drive it. We ended up getting a great deal on this one too
The new car is not a 2025 but it is a Lexus made within the past ten years. It's got air conditioning in the seats and a heated steering wheel and as far as I'm concerned this makes it a spaceship
I think this is correct across society not just with regards to the Constitution. People don't really grok the idea of acting only due to a grant of power rather than being limited by rules.
The lesson of the Trump campaigns, and particularly his second term, should be "Wow you can really do anything." Anyone who runs as a Democrat and acts like their hands are regrettably tied is either lying or doesn't have what it takes to win anyway
Exactly. It's a totally unimpeachable choice across the board
We ended up with a 2018 RX 350. My dude is obsessed with it lol
You know how I feel about vintage accessories
Honestly I'm always floored that it fits. I bought it in tenth grade for a prom I didn't end up attending because I dumped the boyfriend who asked me like two weeks before the dance and I held onto it ever since in the hopes I would someday find excuses to wear it.
It's one of my favorites by, like, a lot
Goddamn I love this dress
My mom distracted a security guard at Taste of Chaos in 2007 so that me and my two best friends could sneak down to the mosh pit from the arena mezzanine level where our seats were when Atreyu went on. Coolest shit in the universe to 15yo me
note also that with the AFAIK lone exception of Rubio all confirmed nominees have taken ~full clock time, with minor asterisks. Dem votes for confirmation do not affect the clock.
I think we had one of the little robot dogs but my mom thought Furbies were creepy so we never had one haha
They also separately creep me the fuck out but that bit I'm willing to acknowledge is a personal problem on my side rather than the Labubu haver's
I'm so ready for the fad to die. Nothing makes me lose respect for someone faster than seeing a dumb fuck vinyl troll doll hanging off a $2500 tote bag
Our car search has gone on so long that I'm brainwashing myself into a 2025 year model Lexus, what is happening to me
I really think he's onto something with it being a compulsive shopping thing more than anything else.
One of the principal misses of the âis it fascism?â discussion is that America never needed a Mediterranean union of militarism, Catholicism, and uniformed paramilitary thuggery. Nothing Franco, Mussolini, or Salazar demonstrated needed to be instructed here.
The administration correctly identifies the Confederacy as its idealogical and cultural inspiration and is marking the country accordingly.
Well I'm 32 right now so unfortunately while I'm sure my presence is detrimental to the workplace writ large, I'm going to be stuck working until at least my 70s no matter how I feel about it in forty years
Golden Gate fixations undefeated
Yeah I don't want to work THAT bad, I just know from experience that I'm happiest when I'm busy. If I didn't need to work for money I wouldn't stay where I am, but I'd have to do SOMETHING. I do what I do now so I can afford my horse and no other reason lol. I'd happily be a random state tax lawyer
I assume the voice activated navigation would not be a selling point for a map user in 2025 either tbh. My point was more that anyone going that route at this point in time is doing so on purpose lol there's no convenience factor to mapless glove box
Yeah that's exactly what we're trying to figure out right now. I accidentally talked myself into wanting to test drive a couple of the 2025 Lexus hybrids because I'm curious what kind of financing deal we can get right now and tbh I'm more confident in the longevity of a new Lexus than the country
Yeah I mean we're getting an Acura it's just been like impossible to get into a dealership to test drive one, we keep making appointments then the car gets sold two hours later
Look the Stelvio looks sick okay I was just curious
Who in 2021 is using a paper map or stopping to ask a human being for directions? In what universe is this a sense-making sales pitch?
Jesus that's bleak.
I cannot stop laughing at this insane description on the listing for a used 2021 Alfa Romeo
In fairness it's not really that out there that a Republican election official would be able to procure hard drugs and would be willing to waste them trying to do some light fraud with disastrous personal consequences to himself
They say kangaroos can't move backward because of physiology. We're not sure. But our kangaroos refuse to go backward because they're progressive.
It's made even weirder because the WRAL article is written such that it sounds like he was trying to fake some sort of drug scandal? Like, these are expensive drugs, nobody's wasting one of them on some guys random kid they encounter on their shift at DQ
My right of return is I'm Jewish enough to go to Israel but not Jewish enough to be citizenship eligible without converting.
I assume this is what my in-laws did tbh. A bunch of the cousins were eligible for Irish right of return and my husband was so bummed he wasn't
Saw a bunch of nuns out on a walk. Nice to see people making it a habit to get outside.
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
I fundamentally disagree with the premise that any immigrants anywhere are displacing "our" civilization and to be very clear I do, in fact, think that the way my family got here (by showing up and filling out a form at Ellis Island) is a pretty solid proof of concept.
Part of this disconnect is because that's very much how a lot of our families got here way back when. My Irish in-laws apparently just like wandered off a boat and ended up in Indiana sometime in the early 1900s. My dad's family came through Ellis Island and the paperwork is, like, two forms.
if we made immigration work how people think it works that would be the biggest liberalization of immigration in American history
Who's this little asshole sleeping in my fuckin manger!? Nobody respects my treats and snacks!
Victor did what TXDPS wouldnât in Uvalde, and thatâs why Greg Abbott made it a priority to hide the fact that we require more bravery from schoolchildren than we do adults with the means to protect them.
I blame ChatGPT lol
If they are size equivalent to a US women's 6-7, that heel looks manageable to me so you've got an interested buyer haha. I can't do the 6-7" platforms anymore but I'll still bust out the stilettos every so often and red shoes are a gap in my collection
Tom Clancy's Vanity Fair
How high are we talking here
I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.
If there are men out there pretending to read Harry Potter because they think it'll get them laid, I owe an apology to all the Infinite Jest guys
I have some questions
angry hateful insects are in fact a great sports mascot more teams should have them
the core issue here is that crime rates are down exponentially from where they were just a few decades ago: youâre asking Democrats to make âeffective plans to deal with crimeâ that *largely only exists in the deluded minds of brainwashed MAGAs, most of whom donât live in cities*
Is that the Eat Pray Love lady?
I kind of want one for my den lol
Exactly! There's a lot about my job I would love to change but very little of it is related to the actual work
It appears to be completely enormous
If I wasn't working a paid job I would be doing some sort of full time volunteer thing or ride full time the way my horse's owner does. I apparently like to be busy đ
I'm a tax lawyer in a blue state you dumb bitch.
Nobody tell this person what I do for a living lol
It's refreshing to see some good old fashioned straightforward stupidity on the TL instead of people being stupid about niche economic issues. Well done, random person
So, like, I fully understand that this is a particularly stupid combination of mental illness and bad personality but even in my wildest fantasies where I have no need to work for money, I'm still actually working đ
My main hope spot is that they're all gonna start dropping like flies and an organic opportunity will arise to clean house
That's like the entire premise of those kinds of small niche fandom cons. When I was in college there was constantly Tumblr drama about people behaving insanely towards the cast during the paid photo ops and stuff, to the degree that certain cast members were like nope we're done with this now
This shit happens at some random convention every few years and it always comes back to unhinged fans being terrible, which has been such a thing for so long that Stephen King wrote a book about it forty years ago. At some point you gotta acknowledge that the format is a huge part of the problem
Idk man maybe it's time to just burn all of fandom to the ground and start over annalisereads.com/sinners-star...
He's busy with UST central clearing
The people you're fighting with all the time are like an college anthropology case study to me, they are CONFOUNDING
Isn't this literally just mainstream GOP voting philosophy at this point
I am separately obsessed with the couch
I appreciate Arch Digest's philosophy on highlighting the important details
I only ever encounter them on road trips, they're like a random highway hotel exit plaza staple
My first surgery was way less intense than my second and I was walking by week 2. Your doc would have a better handle on timeframes but for my first surgery I was functional enough to move house 6wks out and I DEFINITELY remember doing some heavy lifting so it might not be as bad.
Paradressage is ready when you are đ
I went from "your labrum is totally shredded and needs to be regrown" to this in just over nine months in 2023 and the continued improvement was pretty much linear until I broke my ankle lol
And you can really see the difference in my riding too. I finally have a leg again for the first time since I was 19. HIGHLY recommend going forward with it if your doc thinks is necessary. If he says open hip def get a second opinion though, that's what my first doc said and he was wrong.
For what it's worth, the quality of life upgrades of NOT being in constant pain while walking and riding was soooooooo worth six months off. I had no idea how truly miserable it was making me until I finished rehabbing the second time and suddenly it was like the world opened up again
Exactly. It's a truck stop with no gas pumps.
At some point it actually does become about ethics in video game journalism đŤ
There are people on my TL who are apparently just learning about Cracker Barrel's whole schtick and all I will say on the matter is that the rocking chairs and giant checkers and those weird little ferret balls in the store part are awesome if you've got small children and old people in your group
Today I woke up thinking on how poorly everything has gone in my adulthood, from Israel destroying Syria to Trump sending in trooos to occupy DC as he crashes the economy. Even our personal circumstances are harrowing, grim even. But, as I said to my husband last night, at least we're not British.
yes ai can suffer (ex machina) we should make them suffer more (alien) we shouldn't be prejudice against them tho (aliens) ai gf's are bad (her) but they do love you (blade runner 2077)
It's so wrong to post a picture of that dead-behind-his-eyes freak when people might be eating breakfast.
