the state proscribing almost all non-tenant-labor work except finance, which was proscribed for all christians, also had a rather predictable impact

monkeypox is not sexually transmitted, it's transmitted by close contact, condoms don't protect you from monkeypox. There wasn't a ton of guidance saying "totally refrain from sex", but there was guidance saying "limit your exposure until you're vaccinated" which worked because everybody got the vax

call me insane but i think that if a train is already running like 10 mins behind it should go express instead of waiting 2 minutes at every stop for people to try to squeeze on

I think the idea of a ‘guilty pleasure’ is a good one: you should still enjoy trashy stuff, you should also feel a little embarrassment about this. I find some warhammer stuff entertaining. Warhammer is a setting made to sell video games and miniatures. It’s not great art, and I won’t pretend it is.

this is the first time i've gotten on a red line car that smelled like smoke in months and whoever was smoking has already put it out and/or left. it seems like the immediately post-pandemic era is getting left behind

greenland is at least sort of off doing its own thing, but aruba??? apparently when they left the netherlands antilles back in the 80s they really didn't want to keep their old phone numbers??

TIL for phone numbers everywhere geographically in the americas are on the north american numbering plan (+1) or in the latin american zone 5 (+5xx) except for Aruba and Greenland, which are numbered as African zone 2 countries (+2xx)

the cta has enough bus drivers to run good service and instead chooses to waste like 2/3s of revenue hours on empty buses that follow full ones

there's a reason why cucumber salads are typically sliced thin or smashed

Perfect example of how fake and bad-faith this entire language discourse is. A National Review article reprinted on a mainstream news site about a *single mention* of a term in a massive technical document no one will ever read. The document overwhelmingly uses gender-specific language.
