Well yeah a lot of Israel's defenders seem to have a really different understanding of jews from me. To me they're neighbors and friends who have a slightly different culture and generally practice a different religion.

I assumed it was her husband and children voting.

Whelp I hope he fails, otherwise his personal bigotry will fuck me

I used to have coworkers whose masks said "government control device" I reckon they think ice is good for rounding up people without accountability.

You know someone's a badass when Trotsky was her side piece, and often just considered a weird note in her life

So when racists use it its with their signature attention to the social construction of race and nuance that we've all come to expect. I.e. they're mad at someone they think is a bit dark and they call them a slur about it.

Scientists will go away. Some may come back. We'll eventually get new ones. But many will decide they quite like the life they build in Europe. This will have long term consequences

Also early science was easier because the easy and cheap to discover stuff wasn't yet discovered

There is "thats just life". Grandma got cancer with no major risk factors? Just life. The tornado hit town instead of jumping it? Just life.

All sorts of shit's just life, but also a lot of "just life" can happen a hell of a lot less. Better health and safety standards mean less grandmas get cancer, and better access to Healthcare means more of them will go into remission. Dealing with climate change will mean less averse weather events, or at least not rapidly increasing numbers of them.

Conservatives get stuck on the fact that bad shit is always gonna happen, and so they don't notice that it didn't used to happen fucking constantly

Oh fuck yeah I didn't even notice Fresh Prince was missing…

Silicon Valley beat scrubs and seinfeld. It wasn't bad, but Scrubs and Seinfeld were masterpieces of the sitcom genre. They had significant cultural impact and were what people were talking about the next day. Silicon Valley was pretty good. I occasionally remember that I watched it, or most of it, idk if I finished because it didn't leave that level of impact.

Wait, I just noticed it has Dexter above the Good Place. What the actual fuck. Like I was a fan when Dexter was airing (until the last season when I stopped a few episodes in), but it was pretty good. The Good Place was one of the most impactful and well made television shows I've ever watched. I laughed, I cried, I thought, I craved shrimp, and years later I still reference it because of how good it is.

Also, Saul is fundamentally likable in a way Walt isnt. He's a shitty person too, but he's a rapscallion with a heart of bronze, as you watch hoping he'll trade it up for gold but knowing that's not how this story goes.

That looks more like they had a role in the national rail lines and trams, before proposing a really good light rail system and continuously changing their minds to oppose it. Which is exactly what I'd always heard. "Rail is too expensive and difficult and it doesn't work, we've tried and it keeps getting proposed and shot down"

I was taught that in the mid 00s. My father somehow was confused that I supported snowden

Not just cargo bikes. I've got a folding bike (small apartment) with two panniers and a backpack. Sure it's not car level but its pretty good for grabbing groceries.

And it should be noted, Columbus has a pretty bad food desert problem.

Columbus is special. It's a 15 minute city by car outside rush hour. But gods help you if you don't have a car. The bus comes like every hour.

I spent years there trying to convince people that it needs light rail

I imagine incandescent will remain if for no other reason than lava lamps. They've got just enough fans and the incandescent is perfect for them. If their manufacture goes away some niche uses company will probably pick them up.

Period focused lighting may also use them. And, now I'm remembering the monthly or so task of having to replace light bulbs back when I was a kid. It feels like a ridiculous old timey thing these days, like milkmen.

Yeah you gotta do that one yourself

As someone who grew up catholic, yep. There's a decent chunk of protestants that just think Catholics are satanists

It really is weird that there was a time when the sexual prudes were the vegetarians.
