The kosher switch lightswitch is pretty nifty as well. There's no work being done! All you do is move a little piece of plastic and wait for a random photon to be emitted. Quantum mechanics saves the day.

Approaching the "divine will of god in written form" as a contract lawyer leads to some funny poo poo.

Like the wire that makes a complete loop around Manhattan so observant jews can be outside after sundown on the sabbath but are still technically "inside".

Edit: it separates the public and non public zones:

Any explanation why it’s going back up? Not that I’m complaining mind you.

Corporations banning the spread of vaccine misinformation mostly. The timing seems right.

Someone wrote a guide on how to understand a certain senator from Arizona. It is very illuminating.

This woman microdosed halfway through "The Watchmen" without realizing this article was due by midnight.

My dumb guy understanding into the Senator's thought process is:
1. John McCain = good
2. John McCain votes against own party
3. I vote against own party
4. I = good
5. Brunch

"Critical Race Theory is the number 1 threat to my children" he said, using a handkerchief to pad the sweat from his forehead in October of hottest year on record.

But this is america and no one actually reads the bible for themselves, they just get a translation from their evangelical bible study or megachurch pastor.

Can someone who grew up in one of those megachurchs tell me why they exist? I'll watch some of those guys on tv and the only practical advice I ever here is poo poo you learn on sesame street. Like, why do these adults pay 10% tithe to learn they should help others and forgive people?

$1.5bil / 4500 beds = $333,333 a bed

What the gently caress. That costs more per bed than than all but the most luxurious dorms.

Edit- the cruelty is the point

There's def paid wreckers in DSAs and a ton are just arms of the mainline Dem party, but also most of the dsa scandals I see break into the mainstream are "can you believe these people are saying stuff that's socialist???"

As for losing elections, the vast majority of Americans aren't socialists. You can more or less trick liberals into supporting socialists ideas initially like how most Dems say they want universal health care, but as soon as the wheels of power start turning Dems will listen to how actually that socialist idea or person is actually v problematic.

I just want to vote for a party that lets people have homes and see a doctor every once in a while. Im too stupid and old to pay attention to this any of this poo poo. So its real cool that I get to choose between a party whos big reach is " tax subsidies for Pell grant recipients who start a business in a disadvantaged community" or a group that disintegrates over tote bags.
