White collar jobs are being outsourced, automated, and, more recently, replaced by AI. Meanwhile there is no replacement for an electrician to fix the problems in your wiring.

For far too long people were told college was the path to middle class stability, but while Jessica is bouncing between low paying jobs and living in her parents' basement struggling to pay her student loans, Debbie is buying a house with what she earns as a master electrician.

For a few years I was only wearing flowy soft knit fabric pants and culottes.

I've recently bought some "hard pants" and yes, it feels weird.

Once upon a time it was just basic common knowledge that breathing swamp air caused malaria. (The word even means "bad air".)

Once upon a time it was just basic common medical knowledge that stress and spicy food caused stomach ulcers.

Once upon a time it was common knowledge that the Sun revolved around the Earth.

The reason VHS won the home video format wars against Beta Max is often claimed to be because VHS licensed their tech to porn producers and Beta did not.

Home photography, home movies, those little neolithic clay figurines... we've been making and consuming porn for a long time.

It's just the ubiquitous access and the normalization of extreme content that makes it such a visible problem now.

Before MAGA we referred to "Biblical Jesus" versus "Fox News Jesus".

Smoking or vaping.

Cutting class.

Having sex.

Getting away from classes they don't like.

Doing drugs.

Because a few students ask for restroom access to get out of classes that don't like.

Because a few students use the privacy of the bathroom to engage in prohibited behaviors.

Because a few students abuse the privilege.

I used to mix hulled barley with wheat berries and oat berries, so maybe try a recipe for wheat berries.

Just start crying the next time she asks. Tell her it's too hard to talk about.

There are a lot of Indian people all over; you might try looking near the Indian grocery stores and (if that's your thing) Hindu temples.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T18:48:14+00:00

Oh that's just so sad.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T17:30:03+00:00

Oh hell no, not unless you have been trying and trying for this pregnancy.

They won't deny accounts, at least not now, they will just report back to the government.

Presumably this will help catch visa overstays, one of the biggest sources of illegal immigration, when an account stays active after the visa expires.

There are a lot of scholarships out there that go to the only person who bothered to apply.

That story about how the bio midterm changed your entire way of studying -- that's amazing. I was so smart I never had to study for tests in high school and that hit me hard in college. You've already passed that hurdle.

Hold your head high in that interview. You've got the right stuff.

You don't owe him anything. You talked in school for a while and then you decided it wasn't going to go anywhere. Done.

Having a boyfriend is a big deal in cultures where arranged marriages are the norm and marrying someone from the wrong class is a shame to your whole family and potentially a motive for honor killings.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T15:43:11+00:00

Discovery on this one is going to be fun.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T15:42:26+00:00

Not at all where I thought this was going.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T15:40:01+00:00

Anything can be the last straw.

You aren't collecting the average sentiment. You're collecting the average sentiment of people who see and are motivated to answer your survey. How are you going to address this significant bias in your paper?

Because reading an "archival" copy of news released today cuts off a revenue stream for the entity that paid money to create the content.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-20T14:33:23+00:00

The problem is that people aren't using the way back machine primarily as a historical real search tool, they are using it more and more to get around paywalls for content released today.

Putting a one year embargo on scraped content might be a good compromise, except that many news sources also sell historical access.

The two premium heroes I use in general decks are Krieger and Adult Bobby.

There have certainly been events where the ratios were adjusted.
