I'm not sure how Competitive Runner Points Out Failures In Transit System is ableism.

I think we need to rope Alanis Morisette into this.

Shouldn't "Doric" feature prominently in that case?

I don't know that I have a book in me yet. Starting up news sources takes more energy than I have. And doing something professionally for nearly three decades makes it slightly more than a hobby.

I have had my dream job, and losing that for political reasons always sucks. But it sounds like you have transferable skills, so that's at least something. Given the state of the job market, I don't know how far "something" goes, admittedly.

This just fucking in. We've been doing this for decades.

My ex had an uncle with exactly my voice. Cadence, accent, inflection ... it was uncanny.

Explaining that this was your original art the first time likely would have gotten more chuckles. As it stood, this looked like propaganda, which is not something appreciated on Beehaw.

I'm spiking this. I don't like the guy, either, but "links" is doing some lifting here that's not fit for purpose in this community.

I'd counter that her series of interviews suggests she's one of the few remaining guardrails in the junta.

This was infuriating to me when I started college as a CS major. I dropped out after Intro because they weren't giving us anything worth remembering.

I had no connection to him, nor do I truly care, but ... really? Ferrari in the hed? Holy framing, Batman. A simple "car accident" would have acquitted itself just fine.

This is like the hyperdetailed "get the name of the dog" that a certain generation expected. Fluffy doesn't matter, and neither does a Ferrari.

I'm going to disagree here. It must have two wheels. I get the reference, but you didn't nail the landing.

Nah, the crosswalk ones are still worse.

I've never purchased from Hobby Lobby, and my last Chik-Fil-A purchase was in the student union where I arguably shouldn't have been at 17. It's really easy to just cut most companies out of your life.

The push to re-physicalize interfaces has even led to an unexpected side gig for Dr. Plotnick, the academic authority on buttons. Companies are tapping her to consult on how to improve their physical controls.

Well played.

It's safe to say I need income before any wheels can start turning. On the plus side, my non-U.S. passport is a Schengen one, which I believe still gets me into the UK just fine. But CH has gone fully biometric (It's a good Pass to have), and that requires a trip to Atlanta or renewing my U.S. one and taking care of my Swiss one in Zuerich ahead of moving on to my final destination.

Another great way is to move out of fixed housing. Alright, you assholes, try to find me now!

Ah, so no new information and thrice as long as necessary to get the point across. I get it's Sunday, but this isn't the expose it seems to think it is, and this could have been wrapped in 20".

That's a terrific metaphor. I'm imagining starting GoT in season 7 and wondering why the fuck it was a cultural touchstone.
