I'm sure the contingency is eating the inheritors until no one is left. It's billionaires all the way down!

Funny how those dates timed out, almost like they wanted taxes in the working class to go up during a potential democrat presidency. Hmm.

Ok, I also don't like glamorizing a cooperation but I'll let folks in on something as a parent; kids genuinely are interested in occupational stuff, especially if they see it regularly. Just at Target, for instance, they sell kid sized target branded cashier make believe stuff. And I do mean branded, with all the store brand names and everything.

I'm not getting my kid this mostly cause I'd rather not support the brands, but I do think it's important to let kids know that it's ok to work these jobs if that's your deal. If anything, we as adults need to make the jobs give a living wage and not be expoitive, and to do that, you also have to teach the next generation that these jobs have value.

(And honestly, I prefer it over glamorizing police or military, which we've done with toys and events since forever!)

Makes me miss Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Who is Zorak's friend, though?

Oddly my thought as well. Lol

Cats can be remarkably affectionate to our little ones. The crazy thing is, we had two cats and the personable cat didn't care about our newborn, but our shy afraid-of-everything cat wouldn't let her out of his sight. Two years later he's still with us, and he's guarding my second kid as I type this.

Me too, I had to share it. I actually remember that What If from the blog but that was like a decade ago. It’s even better in video format.

Having been doing daily crosswords for a few months, ERAS has come up like, ten times.

I mean, unions or not they just have bad coffee. It’s nice you guys can enjoy a premium cup now (although some local places suck too, but brand recognition protects Starbucks and not the locals, so a bit more survival of the tastiest).

That is a fun… No, interesting fact. Were the other 53% more evened out? I’m trying to think of where it would have mattered, but I the sense it’s probably most when there’s a hotly divided Congress, which I feel is more recent, like last decade or two.

I mean, technically Truth Social speads social discord through misinformation and whatnot… more so than Discord, anyway!

I feel it’s a missed opportunity to exclude the ice cream sales and drowning deaths correlation, but that’s just me. I like the maximal time route goes up, though.

Wow, if all xkcd comics could have transcripts like this one, my uninformed ass might actually get half the jokes. :D

Would You Try New Pastimes If Star Trek Level Medical Care Was Available?

Star Trek’s level of medical care is far more advanced than today’s. As Beckett says in LD, “Doc will wave a light over it.” Yet, in Star Trek people aren’t shown doing hobbies and pastimes that are much different from what’s done now. Still, I wonder about differences in a society where people know they won’t be...

Nah, dangerous hobbies don’t sound fun. But, with other trek tech, I’d definitely pick up new hobbies. Like solving a mystery in the holodeck. ;)
