paysrenttobirds , to Texas in Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint

Typically, a school district would require book challengers to go through a formal challenge process in which each individual book would be assessed for merit. Instead, five minutes after receiving the demands, Perez agreed to them.

It's easy if you don't give a shit.

paysrenttobirds , to Seattle in What a strange headline in the Seattle Times: **Woman arrested in connection with deadly I-5 crash near West Seattle Bridge**

There is an exit for "West Seattle Bridge" on I5, so it is on i5, near that exit.

I'm pretty sure most creatures in nature die before they are adults.

paysrenttobirds , to Photography in Camo is hard to photograph, and not for the reason you think! (Main cam vs Selfie cam colors)

My phone camera has the option to save and view the raw file as well as the processed jpeg, and when you do that you can see that the software is doing a lot of work by default to sharpen and add contrast and color enhancement. My guess is the selfie camera may be tuned to reduce redness in particular to smooth skin tones? Or it's just a smaller sensor not collecting as much color info to begin with.

Is he drunk? Is this really the state of our representation? Wtf is a totalitarian protestor? Are people holding signs on a lawn intimidating to him? How dare they disagree with someone who won an election a couple years ago against some other blowhard? Are we really only supposed to interact with our government once a year quietly in a voting both? These people need their heads screwed back on. What do they think their job is about?

Centuries?

paysrenttobirds , to Politics in Discussion: If I think Biden is too old, and I want to support a different nominee for the Democrats, what should I do?

It’s worth voting for who you like in the primary. Sometimes it has an effect even if the nominee isn’t changed. The administration and Democratic party leadership is more than one person.

paysrenttobirds , to Work Reform in A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this?

He says they aren’t needed “operationally” but Alphabet is not supposed to be merely operating anything. They are supposed to be inventing and experimenting and pushing the envelope. This discontented billionaire just wants ever-increasing rent on existing IP and should be called out as a simple landlord and not called an investor at all.

Who knew the birth of a third party would be so painful

This actually looks kind of quaint to me. Now the house would be on top of the garage and there would be six of them and the trees would be gone. I’d feel like a prince of the world if I had a 3% mortgage on this.

paysrenttobirds , to Politics in Iraq is considering the death penalty for LGBTQ+ people - and you can thank the British for that

The status quo is hard to change…the Brits changed the status quo

I agree, though. The British share the blame, but it’s hard to argue that any particular law they made persists due to some special factor other than that it is as useful to the insecure government of today as it was to the insecure colonial government of the time.
