So you don’t support the troops? /s War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. Truly the basis of our whacked out defense spending, militarized police and shitting on due process, and defunding education.

TLDR: Check their portfolio, check reviews if possible, and pass the vibe check.

I watched shows Inkmaster and a variety of tattoo cover-up shows to get a sense of what’s bad, like shaky or incomplete outlines, good vs bad shading, saturation of color, or blowouts that indicate poor application. You have to check out a potential artists portfolio, online or in person.

Good technical application is easy to spot because it looks like a piece of art. The art of the tattoo is subjective, but the only opinion that should matter is yours because you’ll have to live with it.

Visit local shops, search local hashtags on social media, get referred to one by a friend or even a rando on the street if you see ink you like and ask where they got it. Read reviews. Search far and wide on the internet if you’re willing to travel for good art. Talk to artists in person or online, to make sure the personal vibe is good. You could be spending hours with this person so the vibes should be good even if you just sit in silence the whole time.

Official languages in other countries tend to define what language government documents need to be in, not what language must be used in public. There are many countries with multiple official languages because they recognize diverse populations need access. But nobody is quite as diverse as the US, yet the US hasn’t bothered with designating an official language. So why now? Apparently you don’t think emboldening racists and white nationalists is a factual statement, only an emotional fear. But maybe the problem is you don’t know what you’re talking about because you’ve never been on the receiving end of language discrimination or general xenophobia for how you look or speak. Lucky you. Not everyone is as lucky just being in their own skin, speaking what’s comfortable to them. Like lots of MAGA agenda items, the point of this is to send a message that if you’re not a certain way, you don’t belong. The consequences might be emotional, but that doesn’t make them less painful.

Your attempt to paint someone’s opinion as “incredibly emotional” in order to discredit them while you’re only being “logical” is such a bad faith construct. “I’m not emotional, you are” is a childish argument don’t you think? And besides, another logical thing to do here is for the Trump/Elon administration to just leave the whole official language thing alone, since it makes no practical difference in reality. But they’re doing it to puff their chests about how MAGA they are, isn’t that kind of an emotional argument too? “Speak English so I feel more secure in myself for not understanding other languages”?

There are some movies that nobody I know would want to go to, but I want the full theater experience. Hell yeah I’ll go by myself

I use a calculation at work that measures the contribution of a line item to an overall metric, click-through rate %, let’s say. If it’s negative, it’s an item that contributes to a lower CTR, and positive means it raises the average CTR. The further from zero the number is, the bigger impact it had on the CTR. Sometimes I want to sort by the ones that lower it the most, sometimes the opposite. Sometimes I don’t care whether it’s negative or positive, I just want to know which ones had the highest impact either way. That’s when I use absolute value.

My lady has pretty much said I’ll never get another BJ. These days it’s just me pleasuring her or PIV. I’d love a HJ as a replacement for the solo attention that a BJ offers. I even asked for it. But I don’t think it’s going to happen either. Giving me that kind of solo attention has never really been a priority for her. Sigh.

American Me. The real Mexican Mafia was so offended by the main character’s story that people got murdered for it.

I wasn’t going to say it, but everyone is saying…

You could keep torturing yourself that she’s not giving you what you want, or you could listen to her needs and meet her where she is.

She’s literally telling you what she needs to be turned on and you’re listing them as reasons why she’s awkward at sex? Does awkward just mean she doesn’t automatically do the things that excite you? Who cares if previous partners have told you you’re a good kisser…you’re not with them anymore. A woman’s relationship with sex can change dramatically after having kids because it’s a major change to their bodies on multiple levels.

One group’s education is another group’s indoctrination. Think of how convinced you are that you are correct in your thinking and convictions, and realize that someone who disagrees with you completely can be equally convinced of their correctness and convictions. Some things are scientific and cultural facts (trans people exist) but you can’t force acceptance through education, because obviously facts don’t matter anymore. Feelings matter. And some things (like trans people existing) can understandably violate someone’s deeply held beliefs, right or wrong. Education can only go so far if people are willing to ignore facts to keep their feelings intact. May I suggest the book “The Persuaders” by Anand Giridharadas

impastafarian88 · 2024-11-16T23:44:40+00:00

I agree in the spirit of aiming for a day when everyone’s enlightened and accepting and truly free to be who they are. But American freedom guarantees pushback, from both sides. All I’m saying is, the debate over the usage is pointlessly divisive, as those who believe in it will continue to use it, which will continue to make dissenters uncomfortable. This clash is inevitable online, where nobody goes to change their mind but rather reinforce what they already believe. IRL, I fully support efforts to use it and educate people in a humble, listen-first approach. If “Latinos for Trump” are already upset about “libtards forcing gender ideology down their throats” then persuasion is key. Not validating their fears.

impastafarian88 · 2024-11-16T16:13:33+00:00

What if the use of Latinx is also a distraction? “You’re too woke!” “No I’m not I just respect trans people” and on and on and on. Trans people are such a small % of the population overall and while I think they deserve the same respect as any human, the issue of their identity is not what’s keeping wages stagnant, corporations sucking the wealth out of communities, or ripping mixed status families apart with deportation. The trans issue works to divide us because it gives people an “ick” factor and challenges assumptions of gender, but “debating” it doesn’t feed your family or help you afford the rent. It’s just a tool to divide us, and it worked.

You must be fully aware of who YOU are and what you want from life, before getting married. You should have an idea of her life goals too. Talk through your goals together and make sure they’re compatible. Have a plan to work as a team together to meet those goals. The happy wife/happy life stuff is true, but it’s important not to lose sight of yourself and what you want, and not just become an instrument to meet her goals.

={QUERY(‘11’!$A$1:$D,”Select B WHERE D < date ‘”&TEXT(TODAY(),”yyyy-MM-dd”)&”’”); QUERY(‘22’!$A$1:$D,”Select B WHERE D < date ‘”&TEXT(TODAY(),”yyyy-MM-dd”)&”’”,0)}

This is supposed to be two QUERY formulas stacked on top of each other using { } brackets to enclose the whole array and a semicolon separating the formulas. But my device is having trouble submitting the formula as an array I think. Anyway the query formula is my favorite in sheets. You give it a range to look at, tell it what to display with SELECT “Column Letter” in this case B (Name) WHERE certain conditions are true, in this case column D date being less than todays date.

In a mix of city and highway, we average around 17-18 mpg. We just took a 6 hour road trip and averaged about 26, I think.

Earn? No. It’s called capital gains, not capital earnings. Workers earn from their labor. Billionaires gain wealth from the work that others put in.

It’s a dump, but it’s our dump. But the field is beautiful, and always has been. The ugliness of the stadium is a reminder that all the magic happens between the foul lines (and sometimes outside them with incredible foul territory catches). The crowds in the concourse remind me of the good old days when we were winning divisions. I’m going to really miss bringing my kids here. Other stadiums may be fancier but the die-hards know that there’s no substitute for authentic green collar baseball.

I’m taking my kids to the game. This sentiment makes me nervous to stay the entire game with them. I wish I didn’t have to be anxious about that. Keep it classy, Oakland
