The only people who believe the police help with property crime haven't regularly needed the police to help with property crime. If someone suggests police as an answer for theft, carjacking, or burglary I usually assume they've never experienced seeking the aid of police for any of these things.

(1/4) I found out a friend passed away recently and wanted to share a vivid, sweet memory of her. We met when I was healthier and she saw me practicing martial arts. She asked for lessons, being a woman in her 50's who wanted to get healthier. For months we worked on a variety of exercises and

Sometimes I have to remind people that I have well developed social skills. I just don't think that person is worth applying them. 🤷🏿‍♂️

It's such a bizarre self-feeding problem that men who lack social skills will turn to chat agents to help them navigate social situations... thereby never developing any social skills.

Men will literally build a cheap facsimile of a whole podcast industry rather than go to family therapy. Years from now, that child will not be mailing you birthday cards and deep down you'll know why. You'll know.

Somebody should be out there using the Valkyrie Profile recipe of "get players attached to emotional support heroes who died in tragic, depressing ways and then make them tactically choose when to sacrifice them as part of a larger war to win the game." It's such a good recipe for repeatable drama.

Hot take: I'm fine with them charging both Trump and Biden for mishandling classified documents. Could not be bothered by it. Both men should have known better and apparently were caught knowing what they were doing was wrong. I say charge 'em both. I know applying the law is crazy, but let's try?

I am sitting in philly, eating a cheese steak, watching some division 6 basketball players try their bestest on TV. Bless their little uncoordinated hearts.

A view from underneath for those curious:

I live in the United States, where a teacher can be dismissed because some kid hacked her private Facebook account to see her drinking with her family on a Vegas summer vacation, but lawyers trying to jail political candidates and Olympians with fake charges are job secure. We are a real country.

So what I'm hearing is that, yet again, we really need to talk about disbarment for willful malfeasance.

While I don't love Hank Green, I actually think this is a really helpful development. A beloved, articulate, smart guy admitting he's drunk too deep from LLMs and generative AI who discusses the psychological impact AI psychosis has had on him before announcing needing to pause things and get help.

Elaine Chao just keeps doing shit that makes it more and more likely the McConnell Proof of Life photos are a sham. As if it wasn't weird enough that Mitch McConnell apparently isn't talking to his own staff or other congress members outside of debatable PR announced "20 minute calls."

That's one national treasure we could have left unearthed.

Over the years, one of the single greatest character tests for a new acquaintance has been when they tell me they are fascinated by Japan and I tell them I am Japanese but hate speaking it because of a traumatic childhood. You'd be amazed how many will shamelessly ask me to translate despite that.

Am I a bad person for running 5-1 against someone in Avatar Legends just to have them character select and then immediately using that as a chance to beat them with the character they were just playing? Yes, but in my defense if you can't use Toph she would want me to run it back.🤷🤣

Gamers: Stop punishing our choices by gating content behind them. I should get the full game. Also gamers: I hate how in modern games nothing you do really matters. At most it's a different cut scene but nothing in the game really changes. ...

Fun fact: A 2023 Pew Study found the same proportion of White Democrat voters as we currently have White Democrat federal elected officials: 56% Between 65-70% of the federal Democrat candidates are White in any given year, and the more local you get the higher it climbs up to 81% at the most.

I've ordered some, by whew is it depressing to see the higher end pints all having a very specific aesthetic to their packaging that reads as pared-back "awww shucks, straight off the farm." It's giving recession.

It is 9 in the morning and my soul yearns for ice cream. I will do the Adult thing and order some.
