I encourage you to check out the book Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer if you’re interested in that kind of thing, it’s a very fascinating look at how many different parasites function within their hosts and environment, and how they evolved.
As an immortal entity of chaos, Bugs Bunny rejects your ideas of gender norms.
Do you think that if the prosecution made a secret deal with the witness, a deal that the jury didn’t know about, would that make another trial or reexamination of evidence necessary? Because that’s what happened.
And the state Supreme Court refused to stop Owens’ execution last week after Golden, in a sworn statement, said that he had a secret deal with prosecutors that he never told the jury about.
God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.

IME this is largely the stance that the LA Metro buses* take, as long as you’re not causing trouble. A lot of the time I get waved on for the card not reading quick enough (resulting in a free ride), and I’ve literally never seen a driver tell someone to leave because their card won’t scan or they don’t have the money for it.
Which, when you think about it makes sense. The $1.75 or so they’re ‘losing’ from the passenger not paying (the bus will be going that route anyway, regardless of whether they board or not) will be FAR exceeded by the cost of paying a bus driver to sit there with a bus out of commission for however long it takes cops to get there and force someone out, PLUS a literal bus full of now pissed off people who may be missing connections because some bus driver had a stick up his ass. It absolutely doesn’t make sense unless the fare-evader in question is either a chronic problem causer or an immediate threat.
* trains/subways are a different matter, they have cops checking randomly onboard there to fine people
Maybe some crimes should be punishable by public flogging.
Open to investigation: no
Open to sucking up your work and personal information: absolutely!
We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?
I’m so, so hopeful that I’m a few decades people will look back at our terrible indoor air quality the way we look at indoor smoking, breathing in leaded gasoline fumes, etc. One of those things that just seems like an unimaginable way to live once you’ve experienced the alternative.
lol, 10 bucks says he heard a car backfire and freaked out.
AI making itself sick is beautiful, honestly. If it was a plot device in a sci-fi show I’d call it too on the nose.
Totally depends on your local laws. Where I live (southern California) any fruit hanging over the sidewalk is free for the public to take, regardless of whether the tree itself is on public property. But if you cross the property line to reach it, it becomes theft.
The people who were shitting blood over how anyone who wants Biden to step down is a Russian agent will unfortunately learn absolutely nothing from these events.
Out of all the types of American political voters that exist (as defined and studied by Pew), the progressive left has the highest voting rate of any group. Including ‘Faith and Flag Conservatives.’
If you’re super worried about criticism from someone further left than you killing support for your candidate, it’s not because leftists don’t show up to vote.
‘Transgendered’ is best left in the 2000s btw.
The heat wave has broken and I was practically frolicking outside today. It’s so incredibly pleasant, other than the air quality warning from the nearby fires. 😬
I wonder if there’s a word for punishing everyone in a group for actions taken by only some members of a group, and if it’s considered ethical?
14 states require an excuse, like disability or being out of the country, to vote by mail.
Your “presentation” not matching your ID is not an issue.
Should it be? No. But it’s an issue in some places for some people every election, because some poll workers hopped up on Fox News think the gender section in the ID not saying what they think it should say means voter fraud is happening.
As the article goes on to say, trans people vote at a higher rate than cis people, and that’s in spite of potential access issues at the poll.
If you would like to see these (and other beautiful Korean bird themed artwork) in person, they’re only on display for one more week at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge.
