Idk if you have rapport with the teacher I can see it as nothing g more than a light jab

The bootstraps people would tell you that it’s about “discipline and order, two things that are essential in a functional military”.

Good man/woman. Love to hear it.

He hasn’t signed off on anything yet. Analysts seem to be in almost uniform agreement that a cut will come next month, though…

Yeah… I hardly ever remember my dreams, but last night had some very odd and vivid nightmares with interesting real-life occurrences following thereafter.

1. my wife and I were at a College pool party. The pool was situated in the center of various two-story apartment buildings, which had balconies facing the pool.

All is well initially, but then it gets cramped. People keep showing up. Everyone in the pool begins to plod around in circles, like the kids would do in the kiddie pool to make whirlpools.

People continue to show up. Eventually, the sky darkens to a sickly green, and people begin to fall from the balconies and slam onto the pavement as they are pushed from their vantages by new arrivals. The pool sees people drowning and trampled underfoot by the masses. Dream over.

2. my wife and I needed to get some clothes tailored. My wife suggests we visit someone she found on Facebook marketplace or something, as it’s a “better value”. We arrive at a run-down but not decrepit house akin to the ones you’d see in lower middle class neighborhoods (in the conventional sense of the term) and the tailor walks out, greeting us. She is blind, but very kind.

When we arrive to pick up the clothes, the lady invites us in. Once we get in, all lights go out, and she starts gyrating and holding her hands up. The temperature drops dramatically and I feel an uneasy presence. Dream over.

After I awoke from the second dream, I had noticed our apartment’s WiFi had cut out at almost the same time. I know it was almost the same time, because our TV was playing a rain livestream all night, and the TV screensaver pops up after 5 minutes of buffering. The screensaver popped up right after I had finished using the bathroom; I reckon I was in the BR for about five minutes.

Really weird, and typing this out has me scratching my head further. Cased the whole apartment, but everything was normal, so I went back to bed. Rain started back up about a minute or two after I laid back down.

“Do you have games on your phone”?

Daily beast is the liberal answer to Daily Mail, in my uninformed opinion.

Not OP but I’d be happy to foot the bill.

We have a parking garage with a few windows in its corners (fucking incompetent design) and birds will often get confused / trapped by the windows.

I will ALWAYS stop and help get them out but sliding a folder / book under them and moving them to an opening.

What’s interesting is that the birds always allow me to help. Perhaps it’s because they’re just exhausted, or perhaps they really understand that I’m trying to help them. I do not know.

I don’t know how people stay “locked in” to audiobooks. My mind wanders when the text isn’t commanding my attention, and I lose the plot — ESPECIALLY if I’m doing something while I listen.

Not to mention they’re kind of hard to clean! Electric can openers are the worst. When the top pops off, they often send the contents of the can all over, too.

Honestly having a small circle is great. However, diversification minimizes risk. In having a small circle, you open yourself up to massive vulnerabilities and many would say it is not a sustainable business model.

Nope, I fed my pinkies to the starving kittens at the end of the street.

Think of the animals that preceded us. Humans are so self-absorbed.

Mark my words. Zohran will neuter himself the moment he gets in office. If not immediately, a year later.

I’m addicted to a vape. Not the disposable ones, thank fuck.

I cut out drinking and weed because I can’t not use them when they’re available… weed is awesome, drinking sucks ass but is alluring despite its awful effects.

Hopefully that leads to a silver lining if/when the fascists start to steal medical records and build registries of people with mental illnesses.

Have you seen Pulp Fiction? That’s an all-timer. True cinematic masterpiece and it is also bloody and some would say it is trashy.
