Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

This anti-trans frathouse fuckmelon is on HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?

Our motherfucking media is useless. How do you NOT mention this when he's arguing against trans health care?

And how do you print this fact here without immediately calling attention to his opposition to hormones for trans ppl?

if you know anything about autism advocacy groups, this is a huge deal

i mean, even autism speaks — which is loathed and considered a borderline (if not outright) hate group by the autistic community — is like, “hey man, this has gone too far.”

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

It’s rude to show her big fat ass like this. This elephant has a name, Lucy, and she was restored in 2021 thanks in part to a grant from the National Park Service. Lucy remains the oldest surviving roadside tourist attraction in the country

Because we do not have any shared vocabulary for this sense of deep dislocation and uncertainty, we end up translating it into technocratic terms that we do understand. So we say that people are "worried about the economy" or "feel a sense of precarity."

Compassion is a better investment than greed.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

You know how to whistle, don’t you, Charlie Brown? You just put your lips together and blow.
Okay. Yes. We’re bored now. We’re all bored. But has it ever occurred to you, Charlie Brown, that the process which creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money?

2020 was a gamechanger for the Turkeys. Despite WDW and Universal being closed for MONTHS we had craziness in the form of: Universal's battle with an Osprey, guests grilling hot dogs in Disney Springs and a pallet of Galaxy's Edge Coke showing up in Alabama.

i love rewatching UK vs the World S2 for many reasons (la grande dame, marina summers, tia kofi winning the reading challenge with dad jokes)

also because short-hair scarlett envy is a yasssssified doppelgänger for my favorite-ever sales associate, and it’s endearing

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

The sharp decline in US teenagers’ aspiration to get married and have kids…

…is happening almost entirely among girls, not boys.

At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that.

Also because most of the gains from the U.S. economy go to the top 1%, and because college debt delays the accumulation of savings for a down payment. These are policy choices worth mentioning, @washingtonpost.com
Millennials have reached the age where their parents and grandparents were probably homeowners. But because the typical millennial has met with economic upheaval for much of their working life, they’ve been on a slower timeline.
Are millennials frozen out of the housing market? The reality may be more interesting.
An eye-catching report said the average first-time homebuyer is now 40, but the story is more complex.
