I more meant to laugh at the hilarity of them having a misspelled word. Quick! We must test this more! Someone else get a comment removed by posting relatively innocuous statements!

I had a doctor straight-faced tell an entire class of college students about it, and how it was a good thing. This was within the last 15 years. I would bet it is still far more common we’d want to imagine.

I get it, but the joke was right there and I had to take the swing.

Huh. Tax stamps must have really changed. It used to be a 7 month wait, minimum, when I was dealing with them.

Why would smashing the glass require two people?

Lol, they can’t even code it right to say received? Or is the photoshop job that bad?

Well, cue the comments about stopped clocks and righteousness.

Aye, this is the exact problem that early sunglasses that didn’t block UV light had. Wear ones that offer UV protection! https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/sun https://www.aao.org/newsroom/news-releases/detail/seven-myths-about-sunglasses-could-damage-vision

That was my first thought. My second was that somehow people became interested in the unique behavior of slime molds.

No, no, it’s queerbating. She’s obviously going to open up to hawk girl on the view about what she flicks the bean towards, and then market the ‘slime’ to all the insane people…

and the video promoting it prominently displays her wrists with snapbacks on them.

I think I hate myself for this mental image.

Just wait until you find out how we studied the Coolidge effect…

I’m not saying you are wrong, but the biggest difference, and one that actually matters, is that there was a very clear us vs. them defined and easily spotted. In Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan we were fighting against people that blended in and weren’t being actively turned on by their neighbors. Here, you can bet every dickish Dick that voted red would happily report on the neighbors that they even have an iota of suspicion about resisting the orange cunt.

I like shotguns, but I don’t think they’re a great defensive tool. Even with massive extenders on the magazine tube, you are getting a max of 8 shots, and reloading quickly is a pipe dream unless you are one of the very few, very highly practiced competition shooters.

It’s less state dependent than you think. The feds have the last say in the safety equipment that comes on your car from the factory. They write the regulations on safety equipment for all highway vehicles.

You’re right that they regulate the safety equipment that is required to be on from factory, but the states nearly copy/paste those and make them statutes in their jurisdictions. I have never seen a federal traffic cop. It is the state’s law enforcement arm (the various state troopers, county deputies, and all the forms of police) that enforces the traffic code. What gets people tickets (rarely) is that the states don’t ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+v the requirements, so some don’t get added into the state codes, and they can add on stuff. One example off the top of my head is the third brake light. Federally required after, oh, 1984 I think, but not required in my state. The cops can’t stop you if it is completely removed and made to look as if it was never there, but they can stop you if it is broken, because the statute reads that way. For the opposite example, I think we regulated the ground-effects lighting recently.
