How is this so accurate?
We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.

Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.
It’s not classic rock, but Black no.1 (little miss scare all) by Type O Negative would be a decent fit too
What can they do? How about making the cellular models modular? 3G goes bust? Swap the modem for a 4G one next time the car is in for service.
The rest of the world agrees. Funny how even the broken clock that is the current Republican party is right every now and then.
It will never cease to amaze me that anyone supports that clown. Even if you agree with his politics, he’s such an absolute garbage fire in everything he does I can’t imagine anyone electing him over a competent option.
It’s like electing the village clown because you like his stance on abortion.
Stuff is bad now, let’s vote for guaranteed worse! - this guy
I don’t think 20% of the populace hope DJT is our next president, but I sure as hell believe 20% of people looking to elect Poilievre hope he mimics his policies when he becomes PM.
Well put. A lot of people also seem to think the government can magically make money appear out of nowhere and give them better services while taxing them less and somehow still balancing the budget.
To be honest, I don’t look at the challenges every day. I did miss seeing new ones for a bit though.
I’ve posted some challenges myself and will occasionally take a stab at guessing one of the entries, but I don’t get around to engaging every day or even week. For me personally, I think the game is very fun, but the number of challenges per day/week is too high. If you scaled back a bit, I think you’d get more participation on each individual challenge.
How about, instead of creating a for-profit industry that will gradually canibalize the public funded healthcare options, until they’ve become the only option and start squeezing everything for more money, we invest in the public system so it can address the issues we currently have?
Suggesting private healthcare to address a public healthcare issue is akin to fixing flaking paint by burning the house down. Instead of, you know, investing into some paint and fixing it.
That’s the worst part imho. We should hold Ford accountable and demand that money back if they unilaterally decide to axe the plan we collectively funded.
Remember how we used to think people should retire in old age, instead of running a country? Pepperidge farm remembers.
It’s a good thing the Republican leadership is as incompetent as they are morally bankrupt, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t managed to stumble their way into pushing the US to the brink of a dictatorship. As the KGB used to say, a lot of them are “useful idiots” which can be orchestrated by careful external manipulation.
I’m not onboard with that conspiracy, as there were certainly attempts on his life throughout his reign. But I do agree with the relevancy of that Sun Tzu quote.
By 1943 Hitler was making such poor decisions it would’ve actually benefited the Nazi war effort if he had been removed from power.
That last part is the terrifying bit, honestly. Trump is an egomaniac with the attention span of a toddler. He’s an unguided projectile of spite and vanity.
Imagine someone competent filling his shoes with the unprecedented powers that were recently granted by the supreme court and the rabid MAGA fanbase behind them.
The potential for lasting damage goes (even further) off the scale. I shudder to think what that might actually look like.
Honestly, in the event Biden loses, the best hope the US has is Trump’s general incompetence.
Same, but in summer. The 24/7 nearly equal intensity daylight does a number on your internal clock and experience of time. 10/10 for wildlife though. Puffins everywhere. Plus whales, seals, walruses, and polar bears in the wild are such an impressive thing to see.
It depends on where in Sweden you live of course, but I always loved the moment the first snow was on the ground. It immediately makes the entire surroundings feel less glum, even during the short days of winter.
Agree on the impact of climate change though. The seasons used to be reliable like clockwork, and that hasn’t really been the case for the last decade and a half or so.
It’s incredibly sad to hear someone die of a preventable cause this young, but I can also somewhat relate with the people who reviewed her application.
If a living donor wouldn’t have been sufficient, they’ve now created two patients where they previously had one, and without improving the primary patient’s condition. It makes sense that a donor organ from a deceased donor would be preferable.
That said, the current requirement for the patient to meet deceased donor standards for transplantation to be eligible to use a willing living donor make no sense. Both situations should have their own unique criteria, given that a living donor situation involves different risks for both the patient and the donor than a deceased donor situation would incur.
Ultimately this whole situation boils down to a scarcity situation though. If we want to solve this, it will require more people to register themselves as a donor and a review of the eligibility criteria as soon as more donors are available.
