God I fucking wish, do you know how many terrible politicians we'd be free of if it were?

There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?

he listens to his better angels,

One subtle diversion from this: I think the joke here is not that Everett opposes homelessness (and is generous regardless); the joke here is that he wants to encourage this fellow, and is actively fighting those who would discourage him.

It's just a little different perspective on why this is funny.

"It got me" as in "I was surprised and laughed really hard"

Can we make it weekly

Well, the best part of 5 minutes is that first 30 seconds; the rest is kinda boring. So maybe they pissed themselves for 30 seconds.

I had a problem with cards getting demagnetised, for a long time. IDK if i just have different stuff in my wallet now or what, but it happened to me for years and then stopped happening, years ago.

Cashiers would always try rubbing it with a plastic bag, which frequently worked, which makes me think something something static electricity something magnets??

She should be pissed in any scenario. You propose to your partner, you post a photo, and then you put ANYTHING other than I LOVE MY FIANCEE in your post? That sucks, dude.

I'm pretty anti-AI but even I'll cop to this one. ChatGPT is good at figuring out what you're trying to describe. Know you need a particular networking concept? Describe it a bit to ChatGPT and ask for some concepts that are similar, and the thing you're looking for will probably be in the list.

Looking for a particular library that you assume must exist even though you've never seen it? ChatGPT can give you that.

You're on your own after that, but it can actually save you a bit of research time.

The problem is this: it's sure it has the answer 100% of the time, but about 30% of the time it gives you a list of nothing but wrong answers and you can go off in the wrong direction as a result.

I mean, he's always lying, so the answer must be yes, but if you told me this was true about him I would have believed you

Intent matters in criminal law and would be considered in future cases of this type. If someone is being arrested for violating the law, and the intent of the arrest is to prosecute legitimate criminal behavior, you're good. If it can be shown that the intent was political retaliation, you're in the shit.

We named a whole country after Swiss

On the contrary: guys like that are big on fear. That's at the root of conservatism and toxic masculinity: fear of losing one's life, one's property, one's place in the social hierarchy.

When he saw another gun come out, he felt fear. Nothing teaches you better than that.

I mean, that's probably not gonna get the girl, but I think you taught her dad a little humility

I mean, no shit. Didn't she win her first election with 89% of the vote or something

Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf

Last job, they fired the boss I liked but let him hang out on the payroll for 3 months. Since he was also cool with me, I put in 3 weeks vacation and he approved it immediately. (Apparently I'm not the only one who did this.)

Came back, told my new boss this is my last week, basically did nothing the entire week.

If you're going to report on a Supreme Court's failure to consider a case, I'm begging you, tell us in the headline what the appellate decision was. Don't make us dig 10 paragraphs down to find out whether the case was decided for or against.

(Since I don't want to do the exact same thing: The appellate decision held that the commission could continue to be elected by a statewide, rather than a region-by-region vote. This is equivalent to letting voters in Texas have a say in who California's senators should be.)

There's no way it kills itself without taking out Sam Altman first

So they overturned the students' vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone's trust, so they could veto... Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?
