Wow, thank you for sharing this! I’ve wondered about this exact thing many times.

Earlier THIS MONTH Jacob Frey nominated O’Hara for a second term, during this ongoing investigation. They’re both dirty bastards, and Frey only did this to save his own ass.

If you like geometry and trig, the apps Pythagorea and Euclidea are very fun puzzles. They’re free and there are hundreds of puzzles. They get very difficult.

I’ll tag on my language preference: instead of protestors I like to call us community members.

You weren’t kidding, Lloyd. She’s an angel!

I wouldn’t go that far. As OP said, some groups are certainly like that, but I’ve been to a couple that are actively and explicitly secular. Every group is different.

I think I’m following what you’re saying but I haven’t read anything about this. Where can I read more?

*killed police officers

I’m really sorry. I can’t imagine the helplessness of watching that happen around you.

I agree with another comment about separating Anglo authors from others. My favorite Anglo author is Cormac McCarthy. I feel self-conscious as he’s a white man who writes manly stories about white men, but his style is hypnotic to read. He uses obscure words that I’ve never heard before, but somehow I know what they mean because it flows so well.

Who’s the broken clock?

Your snarky defeatism is so cool and original! What sort of resistance are you engaging in that’s so effective?

I got a gaming pillow from Mechanism. It holds the deck exactly where I want it, so my hands don’t fall asleep during long play sessions.

The videos were sometimes watched from home and hotels, often late at night or early in the morning, it said.

I won’t claim to be an expert, but based on this I’d say this guy is an absolute fucking loser.

Ah, that is sensible. Thanks for clarifying, and I agree. Homelessness is a failure of a community. If the climate is already hostile to people who have shelter, we better make damn sure unhoused people are protected too.

I’m not trying to be dense here, but what sensible thing did you mean?

He was involved in a hazing incident in college. IIRC he [allegedly] used a coat hook to drag someone across the room by his asshole.

Edit: aside from the hazing, Jon Hamm is my answer. He plays the same arrogant douche in everything he’s in, so I get the impression it’s not just a character. Similar to comedians whose whole schtick is being a dirtbag, then they turn out to be a dirtbag.

It’s not that someone’s “keeping them around.” They live there.

I hated him for this for a long time. He has since met with the victim, and the victim publicly said he forgave Wahlberg and wants him to have a second chance. To me, that’s restorative justice and I don’t think it’s my job to push for further consequences.

Jon Hamm on the other hand…

Ha, I was doing a similar calculation recently. I think the only subscription I ever paid for was Netflix, and for the others I used family and friends’ accounts. Only replacing Netflix, I haven’t broken even, but considering I pirate content from 5-6 different services, it’s absolutely cheaper.
