I've built a neat little chatbot, and on the frontend I decided to use web components. So far I'm finding that at least half of my components are either headless, or mostly headless. They mainly need to display slot content and interact with it in some way. This is how they're *supposed* to be used.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but now that I have finally acquiesced to practicing LeetCode problems, there's actually a lot to like about the platform. In particular I love the way it hammers your solution with edge cases, including huge inputs that make your code time out.

Not sure if this is what's being asked, but, I remember getting *really* pissed off and just giving up after 52 pages of listening to a maid describe how she cleans sheets in Dolores Claiborne. Never picked it up again.
Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?
A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

It started with trans people and evolved from there. This is the entire logic of the far right: start with the most vulnerable first, then as their targeting is accepted, move on to the others.
This will be the case for all others as well. Obvious example is targeting Muslims then Jews.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

The most aggravating thing in all this (to me) is the sheer number of you, who believe Black people got high-paying jobs on account of their skin color and not their qualifications. That standards were lowered for us, when the truth is the bars are 10 times higher for us.

How we talk about Trump’s coup shows how we view systemic issues vs. overt violence. H
e’s using the system to do what he couldn’t on Jan 6, just like Hitler after his own failed violent coup.
The goal is the same, yet we act like a coup via the system is different from a violent one.

I was in middle school looking for 2001 at Blockbuster when a video store clerk recommended it to me. My mom, for whatever reason, approved. You can start to see how I got weird really early in life. At any rate, I love the 9th, mostly for this reason.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.
