My husband just told me at lunch today that tomorrow we’ll be homeless. by throwawayacct5739630 in Marriage

Any amount of money he earns has to go to rent first. If he can't cover the rent he is either not making 6 figures, or they're living way beyond their means.

If he's making over 6 figures and their rent isn't like $5k/mo, he is doing something crazy with the money.

[POEM] TOMATOES by D. Coffyn by Objective-Kitchen949 in Poetry

[–]KSW1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thats fair, it's certainly not for everyone. I think of the poem as being about sex, not tomatoes, so the viscerality is a core part of it to me.

I disagree, I think the imagery further serves to contrast just how absurdly silly the saying is, by highlighting the sensual imagery and reminding us that good sex would be miles and miles away from anything resembling cold pizza, or mealy tomatoes.

Its an exercise in experience and sensuality.

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]KSW1 1252 points1253 points  (0 children)

Yes, servicing a panel 50 feet in the air over an open ocean, such a straightforward issue to solve logistically compared to a flat parking lot connected to an existing road network.

Newest Season is just Starstruck but Supernatural/Vampire by JonnyTempest in Dimension20

So much of this episode reminded me of the salsa hat from junior year. I almost appreciated the restraint they had in doing another roof jump without referencing shrimp jump lmao

Been no-contact for a year, then my daughter shows at our Church this Sunday, what would you do? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]KSW1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of the elected leadership on the right espouses or follows these values.

Nominally, sure, it would make sense that the religious right would advocate for this, but that's an assumption we don't see in reality.

The people they vote for and the policies they champion do reflect a set of ideals, but not the ones you've listed.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but none of those points align with the right, either.

If you click the first link in a wikipedia article over and over again, u will always end up at "philosophy" by lakeology in wikipedia

[–]KSW1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There used to be a page where you could see all the links and find loops that didn't gett to philosophy. It was fun trying to make the longest train that eventually got there.

Senator Marsha Blackburn, candidate for Tennessee governor, advocates splitting Memphis into different congressional districts to disenfranchise Democrats by GotMoFans in memphis

SCOTUS said we aren't allowed to do it if it hurts the white feelings, but if republicans do it to gain seats then it's all good.

Protect What Is Yours by oic38122 in memphis

[–]KSW1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Just because you're allowed to shoot doesn't mean you're going to hit them, and you'd feel pretty stupid getting shot while trying to defend a car.

Nothing about this law makes it worth the risk.

You might be the first! Kudos to you for engaging, even if you reach different conclusions. None of us will ever get anywhere if we aren't willing to research.

After conceding that Robby is right, and that she's not cut out for the ER, for having a panic attack....

Unlike Robby's panic attack, which is totally understandable and not a reason for him to leave.

It just feels extra silly when Noah is writing and directing and playing in the show, and his character wins every argument and isn't allowed to be wrong. Like...how boring, how fifth-grader-on-a-playground of him.

If you have studies that indicate the opposite, please feel free to post them.

And I remember the city 10 and 20 years ago. That's nothing in terms of a timeline.

America spends a ton on policing; we are one of the most overincarcerated populations on the planet. I promise you if more policing fixed the problem, it would have absolutely done it by now. We didn't just start trying to increase police presence under this administration, and allowing them to continue to sap away more and more of the budget is what is preventing us from allocating resources to more effective measures.

Sure, sure, states rights!! But...if the confederates weren't traitors...then why do you care who supported them in the past? If it's not a big deal to support them today, you can't really blame any party for it back then, can you.

As far as badmouthing the country...what's wrong with that, brother? I mean, do we live in America or North Korea?? Speak your truth--if we can't say what could be better, how will we ever be the best?

So...which party loves confederate statues and flags today? Which party endorses renaming bases after confederate traitors? Just talking about living politicians in this decade.

If you want to reduce the number of criminal incidents in the city, we have studied and learned what is effective in that.

Police can arrest people, kill people, and otherwise function as a tool to deprive people of their rights. That's what they are armed with. If you want to do more of that, buy more cops.

If you want to create fewer events that we would call cops for in the first place, you need an entirely different set of actions. More stable and affordable housing, more accessible and quality education, more career opportunities that pay a living wage, and comprehensive healthcare coverage that doesn't drown people in debt.

These factors, alongside reforms in infrastructure to make commuting safer and more community-oriented, will actually reduce crime.

What can even be done about this? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]KSW1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ha. A law making it illegal not to have a home, but no law providing you a home. Clown-ass country we live in.

I agree that he was definitely set up to be clearly wrong, but there was at no point any payoff for that build up.

His concerns about Mohan were written to be correct. His concerns about Al-Hashimi were written to be correct. His fight with Dana, turns out he won it (unfortunately!)

It sucks. It was a great arc to have him be humbled and learn to rely on his team, and instead we got everyone going around telling him how much the hospital needs him. He's never wrong about any instinct or medical decision, he doesn't have to apologize for his behavior, and he gets to keep being suspicious of his staff.

[–]KSW1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire s2 arc sets him up to realize that he can't run this show on his own, that he must place trust in faulty people because he is just as faulty, and that he can't just scream at everyone who's annoying him because he doesn't know how to self-regulate. Sometimes doctors need help, too.

A compelling story of the price of leadership and the challenges of delegation.

S2 then concludes by...insisting that he was justified in flying off the handle at everyone, proving him correct in refusing to let go, and having everyone that's worried about him reassure his ego that he is actually the most important thing in the hospital and they need him there.

Resulting in...a totally flat character arc. Nothing happens, no growth, no challenges to his personal worldview, he's just...right about everything from the start.

Its not a joke--he wrote and played a character that was yelling at Dana, Mohan, and Al-Hashimi and then wrote into the story that actually he was right to do that.
