But you don’t eat her food, why should she want to?

Just because you changed the clocks back doesn’t mean that time actually changed.

But that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to close the door! You know that, right?

Dan Snow did a short historical thing on it as well.

Umm, both of those articles are from 2020. He’s making slow progress with The Haunted Chocolatier while he continues to tinker with Stardew; I haven’t heard much about the other game.

For the Raj period, there’s also The Jewel in the Crown. For the Company Rule period, there’s Beecham House.

Interesting phrasing there. Orange guy “fell victim to” (was Innocent) while blue lady “was guilty”.

It’s true that we often excuse our own behavior by what we intended, and often blame others based on their behavior without knowing their intent. But that isn’t a behavior you might expect from a psychologist determined to analyze a situation, showing a bunch of his own biases.

Marvin, is that you?

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

I saw some professor online, saying that the first victims of fascists are the true believers of the party they grew out of, and to watch for that happening with the Republicans.

In court, expert psychiatrist Laurent Layet, who interviewed 20 of the accused – including Pelicot three times – said they could not be described as “ordinary men…because that would be tantamount to saying that all men are capable of such acts.”

Yes, and? We choose the bear.

It’s a threat that they could also air the pee tapes.

It’s not stupid, it’s deliberate. I had a friend who did consulting work (in a different area) with a large grocery chain, and they deliberately change the layout so you’re spending more time in the store, looking at things, because chances are that you’ll buy more. If the store becomes a little too crowded, they’ll just change the music to hurry you along.

Apparently millennials prefer paper towels over napkins and it’s affecting the napkin industry.

Get a white noise generator app; I use TMSoft’s White Noise, which lets me put together my own mix. I generally make one with some pink noise (like white noise, but pitched differently and for me it does a better job screening background noise); then, because that’s just a straight sound which can get irritating after a while, I put in a rainstorm over the pink noise. Then I add in some thunder, which is useful in helping my sleeping brain ignore bass notes like garbage trucks and vacuum cleaners. That takes care of interrupting sounds, and also helps nudge my brain into sleep mode when I turn it on.

The other thing for me are both blackout curtains and a sleep mask. The sleep mask because the blackout curtains aren’t quite good enough; the blackout curtains because I have to take off the mask to pee during the day and don’t want to get assaulted by the sun.

Phone off silent, obs.

She knows she tried. She can live with her conscience. There are people who are going to end up troubled by theirs.

You’re underestimating the amount of misogyny in this country.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller’s first election night message to men was mild. If you know any men who haven’t voted, get them to the polls.

Miller sounded noticeably more panicked when he took to X half an hour later, after the first polls had closed. WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW TO TURN OUT THE TRUMP VOTE? CALLING, TEXTING, EMAILING, DRIVING TO THE POLLS? TURN OUT THE VOTE!!!

And an hour after that, Miller’s tone had reached a fever-pitch as he made a fear-stoking appeal to men and railed against undocumented immigrants in the most inflammatory language possible. Illegals are raping and murdering American children. All the men of America need to fulfill their duty, get to the voting booth, and end the invasion once and for all.

He’s moved to Florida because it shields more assets of elderly people. He’s also essentially stripped his New York condo, despite a court order to leave it mostly alone.

Israel has made it more than clear that, under Netanyahu and quite possibly after him, that they sell nothing less than the total removal of the Palestinian people from “greater Israel” (bc they want lebensraum). The only leverage Gaza has rn are the hostages. They’d be fools to give them up in hopes that Israel might make their open-air concentration camp a little more pleasant.
