Tons of bookmarks. Tons of dead sites.

You’re gonna need to check with a kindergarten teacher. They’re actually trained to answer questions like that.

Look man, I’m trying here. I don’t have all the answers so you’ll have to figure some things out for yourself. Good luck.

Six.

Seven if it’s a woodchuck in underpants.

Not if it’s nose is still wet.

But they shouldn’t drive to the vet, just in case.

Depends on how fat your ass is. But anywhere from 3 to 6 feet.

That’s called free balling and no.

Akshually, those are tights, not pants. And those “underpants” are short pants.

Sams won’t let me buy gas with my debit card if I don’t have more than $100 in my account.

So yea, seems right.

"I’m not seeing the ROI on these “teachers”, China.

Have you thought about AI?"

Ex-crypto bros everywhere.

I tend to think of “code switching” as tailoring my communication method, but I’m definitely on the spectrum so that has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As I mentioned, I’m from Cajun Louisiana(and made a concerted effort to not sound it thanks in no small part to the Catholic nuns I had as teachers) but I went to grad school in Ohio and it used to startle my housemates when I would speak to my father on the phone. I used to fall into an exaggerated Cajun kind of accent as a way to have fun and in the late 80s/early 90s that wasn’t an accent widely known or heard by Ohioans.

To my mind the difference between sitting with coworkers and friends and family and cod switching would mean crossing some kind of barrier, race/class/ethnicity to the local paradigm.

A kid growing up very Cajun/poor but then going to college and becoming a politician who “speaks well” to their constituents but “Cajun” to his family is code switching.

I have to catch myself because I tend to mimic the speaking styles of people if I’m talking to them for extended periods of time and I don’t want them to think I’m making fun of them. It’s just a technique to be relatable. Otherwise, I’d just sit there quietly.

Languages and accents/vernacular.

I was pointing this out to my father and youngest brother when this Louisiana politicians ad came on and he sounded like he was from the bayou!

I said something to the effect “I bet he doesn’t sound like that at his fund-raising dinners”.

And of course they lost there shit and of course my racist father almost immediately says “blacks do it”!

Sigh. Somebody tell me when it’ll be ok to hurt these kinds of people.

My brother, we have spacesuits and decontamination protocols.

Also, by the time we get to meeting other life forms on other planets we’ll have cracked genetic engineering enough to make that inconsequential.

If you have glass partitions try a grease pencil or oil based crayon on the glass(There’s another name but I’m brain-farting on it. Oil pastels, maybe. Gah, medication that effects your memory sucks.).

You could maybe fab up a thick glass pane with a plastic backer and keep it in the shower. Hanging it might be tricky. I used to love hitting up the weird leftover building supply type places or even flea markets for weird stuff to repurpose.

The white board idea works, but you’d need one, with pen, that is specifically water proof.

Maybe experiment with different pieces of plastic from your local big box or hardware store and a grease pencil.

Ok, so you’re naive. Got it.

Clearly I have. Are you daft?

Not even a mole bro. I tell this to everyone.

But yea, I fuck with freedom fighters everywhere.

Edit: Oof, guess I’m dealing with anti-freedom fighters here, guys.

Israel started to do this and then stopped when they realized that they were just Europeans.

Cut off American funding to Israel.

Move Israels borders back to its 1945ish pre-Nakba borders. Return the land to the Palestians.

Prosecute every member of the IDF and all of its pro-genocide politicians at the Hague.

For any Israeli not spending the rest of their lives in jail, DNA tests for all of the rest. If they have markers that say their ancestors are from that area, they can stay. Every other one gets shipped back to their parent countries or any country that will take them.

The US is currently getting rid of plenty of “illegal” Hispanic people so there should be plenty of similar jobs/housing for any incoming Israelis. I mean we took in Nazis after WWII…

Let the flames begin.

Edit: And just to be clear, the DNA testing is merely a formality. Everyone knows whose ancestors are from that land. It’s a return to pre-Zionist colonization that is the point of that. Plenty of Jews were in Palestine under the Ottomans prior to the demise of that empire.

It seems foolish to claim to understand these facts and still believe that something like a “two state” system can be enacted.

That’s like expecting 18th and 19th century Americans being expected to actually honor their treaties with the natives. Why do the dance?

Unless the Palestinians decide otherwise to allow Israel to continue to exist or settlers to stay, etc., why hem and haw about it?

He literally isn’t, though, because being anti-capitalist is the starting point for Socialism. He’s just comfortable with actual Socialism. Which most Americans aren’t thanks to propaganda.

Not to knock the guy. I voted for him the one time I was allowed to. He’s easily one of the best of a bad bunch.

But at best he’s a Social Democrat, which just means he’s Left of most Dems, but given how the Overton window has shifted over the course of his lifetime, post-Reagan that’s not saying much.

Again, not knocking the guy, but he really dropped the ball with Palestine and AIPAC.

Did he switch back to being an Independent? I thought I saw that a while ago.

Anyway, good talk. Thanks.
