Neurodivergence can manifest partly in the form of sensory sensitivity, which can include light sensitivity.

Given a lot of his known history, I have enough confidence to say he's a real one, unlike Obama.

The English Language Wikipedia probably wouldn't be hard, or Debian Stable.

All of Debian's packages might be a tad more expensive, though.

I mean, the case will probably be thrown out almost instantly—given that he's claiming that he's actually president instead of Trump—so really it's just kind of darkly humorous.

They can pay, sure, but that option also means potential disbarment.

Any fine is a paltry sum compared to getting a lawyer's license thrown in the bin.

Could be the first time she actively paid attention to it.

Of course it's JPMorgan, why wouldn't it be JPMorgan?

I think that's just wanting to join a gay primitivist(?) commune.

I, uh, don't suppose you got room for a bi-curious peep?

So it's more like "minimum required dependency versions"?

I think it's because people expect that when they opt to buy a game on a physical cartridge, they expect the game to be on the cartridge. With compromises, maybe, but fully on-cartridge.

It's more likely than you think.

Usually I'm willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I'm on my own at the counter.

I'm gonna just go on a brief tirade here—

It's probably just me, but I despise "how are you doing?" as a greeting.

To put this in context, I work in a customer-facing position, handling returns at a counter. When people come up to me and ask "how are you doing?", 95% of the time they don't actually care. And it bothers me in particular because I instinctively want to answer the question honestly, but a) that would result in me going into a non-trivial emotional ramble because of the... everything going on in the world right now, and b) being that open with a stranger is weird.

It's why I've settled into using "fine, relatively" whenever I'm asked that question in a context that demands a terse response. It's as honest as I can be, captures a decent range of emotions, and at the very least can get a rise out of people who aren't expecting the standard "good" or "great" or "alright."

The open-source repository relies on internal APIs at the IRS. It's not really meant to be run by your average John Doe.

The moment I couldn't square biblical inerrancy with the many contradictory (both mutually exclusive and self-contradictory) statements of the Bible.

Also, being very into astronomy and evolutionary science, which ran hard up against the stories of Creation.

That's a valid response in the long term, but in the immediate/near term, it's reasonable to want to restrict a treatment to those it'll help most.

There are acts which deserve severe punishment. Perhaps multiple lifetimes of the most severe punishment one can imagine.

But there is no such act that, in this finite world, by finite humans, merits infinite punishment.

It is from a Zohran Mamdani, but not the NY State Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani (who is @zohrankmamdani on Twitter)
