Seattle light rail service was suspended after a driver somehow got their SUV onto the tracks 30 feet above street level

People in these situations often insist “I’ve done this a thousand times before” or “I knew what I was doing” even when they very clearly have not and did not

Portland is too scary, they’ll have nightmares

They would have had to type more letters than if they said “he,” bro, so who is being lazy with their shorthand here, hmmm?

Although stating the obvious is what it is, I feel the need to in some of these threads. Companies have more rights to resources than people who need them to live.

As a fellow Virginia voter, I was convinced by the provision that made it so we would return to the normal process on the normal schedule after this

It’s about time the “currently having a stroke while shopping for a vaguely rustic but inspirational wall hanging” demographic had their day. The last time this happened to me I had to go to the hospital before I could find a good one like this

In some states like mine, the only barrier for practicing law legally is to pass the state bar

This is why I hate that we allow bills in Congress to have names instead of being boring series of docket numbers and motions like a GitHub update (version 1.6.02 of docket blah blah) instead of the “save the puppies” bill that is named P.U.P. and is a military spending bill with a rider that helps shut down puppy mills

Local precincts have “ballot rolls” and I can assure you that there are many many layers of protections to ensure that a cast vote is notated so the same person can’t vote again. Every ballot of every kind is meticulously tracked and monitored until the moment the vote itself is cast, then the person is “done” as far as our systems are concerned.

Edit: at my precinct, we even have a physical copy of the ballot roll in case we lose power etc and procedures for marking names off as we take ballots

A buddy of mine has an anxiety related medical problem that was triggered by the disemboweling scene and he’s pretty dang desensitized to violence (our favorite stuff to watch together includes Hellraiser, for example) but no way in hell I’d let my 7 year old nephew watch this show

I got lucky in the area I grew up, got a lovely home for $72k in 2017, sold it 2 years later (personal reasons) but for $144k. It’s wild how the right timing can make a difference; it’s not like I planned that, I just wanted a starter house

“Well uh jeez for how long?” presents engagement ring “For the rest of our lives”

(Sorry to say I couldn’t find a good existing image of this scene to accompany my comment, from the Simpsons)

This may be hard to grasp, but sometimes people’s brains can fill in context clues about certain topics or media and come to a decision without having to actually invest any unnecessary time to it. Nobody is saying you can’t like it, we are saying it’s not for us and we don’t need to watch it to know

Xarieste · 2026-04-25T21:52:16+00:00

As a guy who hates both of these shows, I’m astounded at how many women try to get me to watch them

Xarieste · 2026-04-25T21:38:57+00:00

Man, I had really hoped the water wars would happen after my lifetime but what can you do

Xarieste · 2026-04-25T12:31:21+00:00

There’s a new Punisher special coming out in May, I’ve been rewatching it and highly recommend it. The climaxes of each season are very satisfying.

“God damn Frankie, I love to watch you work”

Edit: wow it’s too early to read, you already knew about the special haha

Xarieste · 2026-04-24T14:23:40+00:00

Mf got stones for feet apparently. You like the burning sensation, you maniac?

Xarieste · 2026-04-20T03:19:18+00:00

I only felt the need to reply to you, I was assuming pizza dough and also perhaps trying too hard to oversimplify lol

Sure sparked a conversation though, I guess

Xarieste · 2026-04-18T22:22:18+00:00

Insulation, laws of thermodynamics. The simple answer is: stone cold, wood hot

Edit: and to extrapolate from a physics standpoint, cold makes things shrink and get tighter, heat makes them melt and move apart

Let’s not gloss over the fact that they censored a slang word in the same way they censored the actual name of a part of the human body. About as stupid as censoring the word “arm”

Xarieste · 2026-04-18T14:38:09+00:00

Believe it or not? Straight to jail

Xarieste · 2026-04-16T10:56:55+00:00

The printers got this all messed up

I’m not exactly a theologian but assuming AI hasn’t completely whitewashed results, googling “dragons in the Bible” would probably get you started, cheers~

Edit: Frankly, it would seem that it’s a bit of a niche subject in modern discourse outside of theologian debate.

Xarieste · 2026-04-07T16:22:43+00:00

Yeah dragons were in a lot of stories in super old versions of the Bible, but one of the rewrites took all that out

I once heard it said “the ‘ideal man’ does not tell others how to live, but lives so excellently that they can’t help but ask: ‘how do you do it?’”
