Seriously. My cats are so relaxed because they get their food at the exact same times every day. I still hand feed the first and last meals (canned wet food), but it gives them something to look forward to during the day, even when we are at work.

They can also apparently tell time now because they get ready within five minutes of most feedings, I like to think that makes them feel more connected to their world and existence.

Teachers aren’t in charge of school policies and generally aren’t even decision makers past the lowest levels of discipline.

One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

Typically kid A’s parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid “gets bullied all the time” while kid Bs parents aren’t experienced with the policies and aren’t positive that their kid didn’t do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don’t fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly “gets bullied all the time” is doing exactly this.

Trump hasn’t said the truth about one thing his entire life.

Don’t worry, there is a slightly less senile and marginally more human out of touch old man with bad ideas here to save us. Lucky us, I know I’m inspired to be led by shitty old man A or shitty old man B.

Pretty much.

The court can just arbitrarily decide that laws like this aren’t valid unless they existed in 1790. Apparently that’s how democracy works: A council of elders elected by no one and accountable to no one decide what we are allowed to do.

It is one of dozens of things used to establish a unique fingerprint. Check this out, I bet you can be individually identified and tracked with nothing more than what your browser reveals, including the UA.

Reddit uses exactly this to enforce site bans so they can identify people that just change emails or even public ip addresses. It’s almost certainly used to create phantom profiles at hundreds of sites whether you make an account or not.

I don’t need to give Rogan a view to know that he’s a piece of shit.

Substantially better. It actually has a theme and internal morality that makes sense.

Zack Snyder has a real talent for totally abandoning the actual meaning of comics in favor of capturing an aesthetic and this is no exception.

It’s also used to create a digital fingerprint so you can be tracked without downloading a cookie.

Like with every single thing that humans try to do to help each other, corporations have figured out how to exploit it for themselves.

We feel like tipping helps people because literally handing money to someone SHOULD help them. Except what actually happens is that corporations, with the full support of the government that they own, simply use that social convention to offset the wages that they have to pay their staff.

It’s not complicated to say that I don’t want my tax dollars to provide weapons to blow up people in their homes.

A distinction without difference since he isn’t even asking Congress to pull funding nor is he even calling on anyone to just stop killing people.

Just one more little reminder that American democracy is an illusion and the choice that most of us get is as meaningful as “coke vs Pepsi”.

Who are you supposed to vote for if you are against sponsoring genocide?

The Democrats think that supporting genocide will still leave them with enough daylight between them and the actual fascists of the GOP, but it isn’t going to make people run to the polls on election night and Americans deserve an actual choice.

This is why the whole “marvel vs DC” thing is fucking stupid. Most people don’t know or care about that difference, they just know they saw a shitty superhero movie. Better movies overall help both companies.

These farms produce alfalfa for animal feed, almost exclusively. We just don’t need the amount of meat that we currently consume, it’s just about the least efficient way to turn water into food. We could just lose these farms entirely and it would just make steak and dairy products a bit more expensive, which they probably should be given the massive environmental impact from producing them.

Why can’t we put companies in prison for shit like this?

Fair enough, so who is getting executed for this one?

C) charge them the for the water they are pulling out of a river they don’t actually own.

They decided to farm in a desert because they could pass the enormous cost of doing so to other people. They aren’t owed shit.
