Had my first exerience with paper straws in a DC bar today. Couldn’t believe it was real. Consequences were predictable and absurd. We suck the dregs of our civilization’s sanity through these mushy tubes

Going to research the decay rate of various plastics and perhaps buy a few thousand more plastic straws and other plastic utensils.
Can’t insulate against all liberal stupidity, but against some, sure.
kinda wish screenshots were more like a “save current state” command to your operating system

Ya’ll need to look into virtual machines. It’s very, very easy to do this with VMs. Virtual machines and their hypervisors all support some version of snapshotting (though the names differ). Here’s how to use them in Hyper-V.
This tech has been around for a dozen years, widely available, so isn’t new at all. I’m surprised by how little people keep up with things like this. I use VMs, snapshots, etc. extensively.
If you don’t feel like you have the tech knowledge to handle VMs, Windows 10 supports system restore points that are also very easy to use and are nearly-identical to what this person is requesting. Mac OS has Time Machine which does nearly the same thing.
So…I see people request this sort of thing all the time and it already exists and has for a very long while. Weird.
In my post about Fat Acceptance the other day, I mentioned how they seemed to discuss their bodies as if they were completely disconnected from themselves. Here’s some evidence:
I don’t even disagree with the basic message but I do find it fascinating how they tend to discuss their corporeal beings as if there is no connection at all between their actions in the world and the results of those actions. I know, part of it is that evasion of responsibility is the real American pastime and which is concomitant with the obvious truth that FA could’ve only developed and prospered in the US.
Is this some form of dysmorphia? I’m not a doctor but it strikes me as completely bizarre to discuss one’s body as utterly separate like this.
More info Kevin Drum needs to read but won’t.
A perfect example of this is how the U.S. housing market has, once again, gotten way ahead of rents and wages.
That's why the U.S. housing boom since 2012 is another bubble. It's not identical to the mid-2000s, but it's another bubble variant.https://t.co/JvLMwMV6LK

Kevin Drum puts in earplugs, slaps on some blinders, and declares confidently, “All is well!” Such is the purview of old white Boomers who fucked the planet.
We found a small leech roaming around in our external entryway. It’s been humid and very rainy lately so I guess they are exploring in the more-hospitable environment.
We put it back outside again.
I love making the rules-lawyering assclowns angry by calling corporate censorship what it is: censorship.
It might not help the world, but making idiots angry keeps me happy.
In the identitarian future, there will be no need for actors. Directors will just cast people who have the same race, gender, religion, nationality, and physical ability as the character in the script. https://t.co/KitqafZjwA

I’m with Scarlett. The moronic beliefs that identity politics has produced actually harms representation and even more importantly, good sense. Actors are called “actors” for a reason, i.e., they act like other people. That is their entire job. Many of them are even great at it, far better than any substitute hire that checked all the identitarian boxes.
If You Stop Thinking Of Exercise As A Way To Lose Weight, You May Actually Enjoy It.
Exercise is a terrible way to lose weight. As the article notes, the human body is really quite efficient; exercising, even hard exercise, doesn’t really burn that many calories.
I’ve gained enough muscle in the past 9 months that I do think I burn a good bit more calories during the day, but I’ve also worked out far harder than most people would care to to get this far. For losing weight, calories in, calories out is where it’s at, and its far easier to deal with it at the “calories in” portion of that equation.
See the above for why Kevin Drum is a cockbag. It’s amazing people like him can make money writing pure hooey while good journalists get laid off every day.
My gender is grumpy.
