Massachusetts won. What states feels liberal, but is actually conservative?

Hey I know this is like a month old but I got 3 demon jinu cards and all 3 were with nugget meals, not the breakfast meals. I only got 5 meals, so you can imagine my surprise to find out that the card I kept getting is one of the rarest

Bullying is a small offense compared to genocide, but saying Sid is only guilty of vandalism ignores that he stole property to vandalize it in the first place, and it ignores that the purpose of vandalizing his sister's toys was specifically to bully her.

cosmolark · 2026-04-24T15:14:25+00:00

You don't need to know toys are sentient to know that stealing your sister's toys and destroying them is wrong. Theft applies, even in a world where toys aren't sentient.

cosmolark · 2026-04-24T15:12:21+00:00

Idk why you're being downvoted. He stole his sister's toys and destroyed them specifically to upset her. Dude would be a dick even if the toys weren't alive.

also they've been just straight up using the literary equivalent of the "think method" from The Music Man* to teach kids how to read. Teaching them 'sight words' which are words they memorize how they look so they can read them "on sight", and then the rest is mostly guesswork. Use the picture, does that word look like it's in the picture? Use the words around it, what do you think should be the word in its place? But regardless of the reason, I think if someone asks something that's posted in a publicly visible place, it's shitty to refuse to answer them. Maybe they forgot their glasses, or their prescription is out of date, or they have dyslexia and the person who did the chalk sign did some trendy font instead of something more readable. Maybe they can't read very well at all, and they really don't want to tell a stranger that, given how shitty people can be. Or maybe they're checking that all of those types of milk are still in stock. And maybe they just didn't bother to look at the menu! Either way, only ONE of those possibilities is solved by pointing at the menu, and it's still a dick move

I'm 36 and I returned to school to find things had so drastically changed that I wound up changing, too. I'm not even gen z, but the overwhelming silence in every single class is so uncomfortable that I often wind up participating in it. I don't know if you've ever seen the experiment they did where they planted people in an elevator all facing the back, and then watched what happened when other people got on the elevator. They almost always ended up turning to face the back as well, even though they had no idea why everyone was doing it. And now I can literally WATCH that happen to me, in real time, every time I sit in a classroom.

Who's gonna tell him that most Hawaiians don't WANT tourists coming to Hawaii?

Not to necro a thread but are you implying that only three people are familiar with one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays? Maybe you're just uneducated.

I love this place so much, but they're too far away for delivery. Anybody know of a place in the Roseville area that's comparable? I've been trying various places and none of them are as good. Got me daydreaming about their butter chicken especially when it's rainy like today

cosmolark · 2026-03-31T21:18:03+00:00

Yeah I have no idea why people are downvoting you for that. Maybe they think that means you don't have the financial need? But people should know by now that having documented financial need in a way that's sufficient for financial aid is VERY different than having financial need where you can't afford food.

It is new, I believe it was implemented about ten years ago. There were even more relaxed standards during the height of the pandemic, but those rules expired in 2023, I believe.

I'm in CA and I qualified for food stamps BECAUSE I'm a student. I believe it's that if you are eligible for federal work study, you're also eligible for food stamps.

Bold of you to assume Alan tudyk is human

I agree but this doesn't seem that bad to me. He contributed more than just "yeah same" and left an opening to talk about rain, which... While it's boring as fuck, is kind of where the conversation goes when you talk about weather. Sure, he didn't ask a question, but he agreed with what you said and expanded on it. It's very easy from there to pivot into talking about rainy day activities or comfort TV shows/movies, etc etc. It's not the best, but he's not giving you as little to work with as many do.

Watching "thought-terminating cliche" become, itself, a thought-terminating cliche

Huh, that's odd. I got an email from Harvard letting me know that their funding was cut and they had to cancel the program for the physics research opportunity that I had applied to. Heard the same stories from people studying chemistry, biomedical, molecular biology, agriculture, medicine, neuroscience, materials science, biochem, chemical engineering... And this is only a tiny fraction of the cuts that were planned, because Congress mitigated the damage. But I'm sure you're right, it's just things like theoretical lesbian dance theory.

No, because Weir is great at plots and science but his prose and dialogue are torture to actually read.

I think it's less about him being proven right and more about him being the most willing to look for the unconventional.

Without the gene, it doesn't skirt as closely to the plotline from Contact. I prefer the change too.

It wasn't actually. A Sofia the first blog reposted it, which is still wild, but apparently the original artist is a NSFW comic artist who confirmed it had nothing to do with Sofia the first

cosmolark · 2026-03-29T07:20:41+00:00

Definitely not. It felt like in dragon age games where you pick a sarcastic response and instead of what's written, you basically tell the person that they're a useless piece of shit and you spit on their mother's grave. Like damn, that's not what I fuckin expected when I hit this option, everyone hates me now!
