I knew there were more niche types than the A, B, and Rh, but I had no idea we were up to 48. I wonder how much the lesser known types interfere with transfusions.

I like the concept, and I think it would fit the definition of democracy since it reflects the will of the people. The main issue I see is that it still remains stable if a majority superclass oppresses a minority underclass. Tyranny of the Masses is a problem with most forms of democracy, not just yours.

One tactic to mitigate it is by only doing a random sample each time instead of a full sample. So randomly select 20% of the population, require them to vote, and if 50% of them vote in favor then there’s no election. That only works if the mechanism to randomly select people can’t be tampered with, though.

Use enough of them, flip the dirty side down, and you could redo your floors!

The next season of White Lotus is practically writing itself!

The obvious answer is to treat wood cutting boards as single-use and continually buy more from FauxPseudo after each meal.

Is that the CLIT Commander!?

I have the same question except it’s a Pi B+ from 2014. It doesn’t seem powerful enough for most Pi recommendations I see online.

You’d better hope that art is good enough to pay for your prison rent or you’ll be in debt for the rest of your life. Especially given how tough it is to get a traditional job afterwards.

The setup based on the first image+caption would lead you to believe the second image will relay how boys feel if a girl walks into the locker room. The second half instead subverts that expectation by having a too-accurate caption of a strange image, unrelated to locker rooms.

My grandma would only eat pancakes with light corn syrup. She didn’t like maple syrup. She did live in Iowa, which is basically just corn.

Wisconsin. 90 lbs per day is a kid’s ration there.

I read this in the “Watch those wrist rockets!” way and completely lost it.

My mom said it to me frequently before I cut her out, which is a pretty good indication it’s not normal. A therapist would tell you that’s a reflection of her issues; if she had a different kid instead of you she would have said the same thing to them. You, as a person, don’t really factor into why she feels that way.

As for your feelings, let me know what you come up with. I’m in the same boat emotionally and I don’t see a way out either.

You definitely seem to have the second amendment backwards, as others have mentioned.

Additionally, the US government has turned the military on its own protesters several times. The Kent State massacre, The Battle of Blair Mountain, and the 1967 Detroit riots are all instances where they murdered civilians and faced no consequences. It’s completely legal and, in all three of those cases, was happily endorsed by much of the populace.

Hey, it’s Mac’s mom from Always Sunny.

Yeah, I gotta admit I definitely assumed most of those things would be true. I knew it could be messy, but I didn’t realize it was such a loosely bound garbage heap.

Code Ment “Where are you right now!?” “I’M AT SOUP”

A classic that has not aged well, but that scene will always be great.

This may be unpopular, but I don’t use the dividers at checkout. I just wait my turn. Once all the previous person’s stuff is scanned I start loading my stuff on the belt. By the time they finish paying, even with a tap card, I’ve got the belt full and I’m waiting again.

Some guy got mad at me at Costco recently for it. I guess he really wanted to get some stuff out of his cart while the person in front of me was still getting scanned. It feels like flooring it to every red light. You still have to wait, so what’s the point?

Currently reading The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow. Not sure how I feel about it yet. The positivity and inclusiveness were nice at first, but it’s being laid on so thick that it’s starting to feel uncomfortable. Like fan service in an anime.

It’s really good at making you feel like peace and progress are fragile while fascism feels iron-clad.
