This is one of those “cute overbearing dad” things until you realize you don’t have appropriate boundaries and it’s influencing your life in ways you don’t like, which usually happens sooner or later. Family counseling is a good place to start if you aren’t sure how to start that conversation. And I say that as a dad that will probably have to be talked down when my own kid hits dating age.

Kids get hurt, it’s not a parent’s job to stop that from happening, nor avenge them. It’s the parent’s job to teach them resilient, appropriate coping techniques.

Getting rid of visible clocks fixed this for me, and all the way to the bathroom and back so I can’t get the time when I go pee. I just assume it’s 12:30 and go back to bed no matter what. Unless the fucking sun is coming up around the edges, then it’s just “your bones are going to hurt today.”

I see you found Mr. Floofintooth

This is now a generational fight. None of us can do anything today or tomorrow that affects immigration wholesale. The pendulum is still swinging. We can just get through this and hope that after 5, 10 years of suffering, after seeing the effects of this play out, and most importantly once xenophobia is passé again, it will be the time to act. So now is the time for seed gathering, for building, for long-term community building projects and for nurturing those around you.

They make cards you can stick on people’s windshields, I am so tempted because I am driven by spite, but I also am tempered by age… and realize there are cameras now and I would quickly get a reputation.

New alt history just dropped. The Dell Dude has never been happier since transitioning into Adele.

“…And my wife won’t shut up, anything you can do about that?”

The states have had decades to fix this, they have done nothing. Federal intervention should have happened 10-15 years ago. That said, we live in an age where fixing problems is not rewarded, so it might have to get this bad or worse before people really want a solution despite it being complex and costly.

It only covers a small fraction of drugs out there. It’s really more for show than for use.

If you put a recipe on your webpage Google will ignore that shit. Butter and eggs? So few words, many numbers. Boring.

So you have to add a narrative if you want search engines to pay any attention, or even count the page as content.

Google could just fix this, but no, we’ve all adjusted to it.

The best part is, the artist could have walked to their nearest bathroom to notice toilets go down through the floor, but they decided, nah let’s elephant trunk this shit, that’s gotta be how it works.

That shit went so hard in 1981 tho

The new testament

Same with the pardon he got, it’s got all the traction it’s going to get. Most people have tuned this out by now as old political noise.

What is that heavily armed populace doing? They’re not resisting a government that has entered the information warfare age, where every police station has SWAT gear and tanks and helicopters. The guns aren’t saving you from the government, they’re not saving me from the government, they’re not saving Cletus on 10 acre compound if Uncle Sam decides to pay a visit with flashbangs and riot gear.

All the guns are doing is terrifying minorities, who actually can be controlled by them.

Guess how I know.

This is true in 2026. I bet at one point, auto workers had the same kind of thoughts about how robots could never build a whole car.

Stand up and recite Matthew 6:5.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I live a couple blocks from my state governor and there are plenty of Flock cams here. I’m sure the private gated suburbs might not have them inside, but they will be on the roads connecting between them, so FOIA is actually a great idea.

Imagine a woman so good she throws acid on her own face to save you the time and expense
