I only use distilled water. I live in a part of the world where there's a non-zero chance of encountering N. Fowleri in the tap water. I'm not trying to get bodied by an untreatable brain-eating amoeba.

Kesper North posted:fun fact: the family that owns the bellevue mall had a pretty prominent role in getting them interned and stealing their land. some people still remember when it happened! so yeah. good reasons Bellevue as a whole just loving exudes the psychic energy of the type of white people that will happily steal land from ethnic minorities so that they can be rich and have a fancy mall, and has for the 20+ years I can remember. My dad used to tell a joke, "what's a Bellevue Lady's favorite position? Facing Nordstrom!" And as crude as that is, it's accurate. gently caress that shithole. Elendil004 posted:Look if I don't go to the doctors they can't tell me I have any problems. From my military experience, even if you tell doctors that you're having health problems, they'll say "don't tell me that! It's submarine disqualifying!" And then change the subject.

As a filthy  Bellevue is a place you accidentally end up in, not where you're going.You go to Bellevue if you gently caress up your exit off the I-5 when you want to go into town or if you gently caress up your exit off the I-5 when you want to go interview at a company in Redmond. You never go to Bellevue intentionally. It's always by accident.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, like the lunches for school kids will be made out of asylum seekers who didn’t qualify or something. The past several years have largely conditioned a lot of people, myself very much included, to see Good Things as temporary developments that will either be undone by the next cruel administration or mooted by the impending climate crisis. Accepting the best while expecting the worst may be a defense mechanism, but it’s probably not very healthy.

Saline is 0.9% salt by weight vs water. You can add that together and boil for tap or distilled water generally. This is for a neti not a cpap.

At some point in the last day, Twitter has apparently switched to being entirely unusable without an account. Previously you could still browse the site without an account, just with a lot of annoying popups nagging you to log in. Embeds on SA and elsewhere still seem to work, but since I don't have a Twitter account anymore, I guess a lot of threads are going to be much more annoying to read now.

Yesterday a college intern asked how old I was and I’m not sure which felt worse: realizing I’m 35 or not knowing immediately and having had to count my age on my fingers like I was a toddler.

At least they still seem to embed for the moment but clicking on them takes you to a twitter login screen. He probably thinks the idea of thousands of online articles with embedded tweets no longer working (unless you’re currently logged in to Twitter) is pretty funny. He probably also thinks it’s going to get more people to sign up and maybe even subscribe to  but I think he is wrong.What few advertisers are left on there will now be getting even less views than they were, which hopefully will cause even more of them to pull out. They also made some kind of API change so that even the people paying $42,000 per month for that aren’t getting what they paid for, which might cause lawsuits? As well as people deciding to stop paying that insane fee. I don’t believe he genuinely wants to run the site into the ground, but if he did, he couldn’t do much more harm to it than he has.

Welcome to being old lol, I've been there. People assume I'm younger than I am though, they think I'm like mid 20s or some poo poo, but that's not going to work much longer because I'm getting grey in my beard.

Literally this thread and maybe one other SA news thread are the only time I actually click on a twitter link anymore. e: it's always "oh here is this one funny or useful thing, but if you click on it you have a slightly better than 50/50 chance of seeing a video of someone burning pride flags with everyone cheering in the comments.

I just started a new job and at the HR orientation day people kept getting confused thinking I was one of the collage age interns when I'm in my thirties. I'm kind of looking forward to my gray hair coming in, being treated as a baby in the workplace for over a decade is extremely annoying.

As the final supreme court decisions of the term are coming out, let's check on The Future Of The Democratic Party https://twitter.com/JCColtin/status/1674777951475494913?t=nEwLAQQWPrGHrB2mNuNT2A&s=19 Sometimes "politician x is a real loving idiot" is just venting and other times it's really true.

Recap of decisions today: Religious bigot website designer wins on 6-3. Lot of goofy poo poo involved (she made up a fake gay marriage creation request) but Gorsuch et al simply said "welp, that's speech" and it's going to be fun the flood of bigotry coming out of that one. And the Supreme Court tossed Biden's student loan relief plan. One case was tossed for no standing, then they invented standing for Missouri/MOHELA and that was that. Law is what five fuckers says it is and right now they have six of them.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Quoting this post so we can revisit it someday when you eventually realize people have stopped carding you when you buy booze. Weirdly I don't get carded often? I live in the rural south tho so it might just be lax enforcement. My last boss admitted to me she thought I was 26 when I left that company, even though (due to how our group had been set up) it was very obvious I had been with them for 10 years. So I guess she thought i started when I was 16?? I was likely passed over for raises/promotions because of that BS. No way to prove it at this point, just hearsay from folks that told me as I was walking out the door.

So their argument is that because a student loan processor might miss out on some service fees, Biden doesn't have the authority to modify student loans? Great legal system we've got going here, definitely keeping the people's interests at the top of the list.

I've quit trying to follow the arguments or even go "the opinion says x, but the result is going to be y, with true result z". It's all backwards reasoning. The six conservatives wanted to kill it, so they did. The reasoning to do so, like creating standing with no injuries, is completely irrelevant. They're doing it because they can.

A pretty solid take and good approach to the unelected law wizards for life that make poo poo up. They've been dropping the mask for a while. It's tedious trying to follow their pretzel logic bullshit. Much faster to just say the truth; they don't give a gently caress about the how, they want the result.

It's tedious trying to follow their pretzel logic bullshit. Much faster to just say the truth; they don't give a gently caress about the how, they want the result. I'm generally getting better about this stuff, because about 25% of my brain engages the logic to figure out What It All Means, then the proper 75% takes over. So when I see this: https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/1674791319275962369?t=YIsq1IwzoUmwwiiXbfgdMg&s=19 "Well ok this reasoning may make sense for overstepping determ- HEY WAIT, NO, gently caress YOU JOHN" Both of these cases were conservatives doing their favorite trick lately - making up someone to get mad at. A website maker *hypothetically* asking to make a website that they didn't like. The Missouri AG filing a lawsuit because he *thinks* MOHELA would hate it (they didn't). Anyways, next step may be Biden loving with loan repayment rates, as those are likely fair game.

Proud Christian Mom posted:Ignore the court. One thing that Donnie and his merry band of fuckos would do a lot is run a Five Whys routine on "I want to break federal law, why can't I?". And most times they'd gently caress around because there were minimal penalties for finding out, or they just didn't give a gently caress. I'm not necessarily saying Biden should do that, as his route to reelection probably includes being "boring" and "normal". But they should look at every single loving thing they should do to give the court the middle finger. Set the interest rates at 0%, make tons of indefinite-postponement options for borrowers, etc. Because slippery slope arguments are absolutely in play with this current court. They do not give a gently caress about standing, precedent, or "case or controversy" doctrines. Six fucks deciding what goes when they only need five.
