How about deep diving? It’s not easy and consistent with one app, but it’s pretty satisfying to be the one figuring stuff out.

Or local city planning. Future plans on what to build and where. Doesn’t update as frequently, but it’s something to circle back to on occasion, or you might want to get involved and go to a meeting.

Some people like to listen to police scanners, or alternatively there is usually someone with a social media account who posts just the most important or funniest transmissions from the city/county/whatever

Or you could get an idle game app that you occasionally need to pop into to collect money and upgrade.

Start day trading?

Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level

Here’s a picture

God this server is stupid as fuck

But the article is about Columbia University. A private institution. It is not a public university

Columbia University is not public space

So ACAB, and we are a country with stupidly low quality of freedom despite the morons who just think guns=freedom, and fuck this was a BS move.

However, the Constitution states only that the government will not pass laws that interfere with freedom of assembly. Courts have decided that this includes protests, picketing, labor strikes, etc.

Courts have also concluded that this doesn’t mean you can assemble wherever you want, namely on private property. These students were essentially just trespassed by the university. Can’t really blame the policeor government for this one, unless you want to lean more extreme that they should be saying “fuck off, we disagree”. But I’d rather have a system where the police follow the law because I don’t trust any of them to make any good decisions on their own morals.

The chief even came out with a statement that was a dig at the university president that he only observed peaceful protest, not the bullshit she was claiming.

This article is so entitled

I’ve been enjoying Suicide Squad. Very redundant but entertaining enough. I hate everything it stands for, but I guess the gameplay style is right up my alley.

She absolutely did, but she isn’t even a footnote. People having kids today might not even know who she is.

If you look at data, vaccination support was lower in 2008 than it got in 2014 when it dipped again due to Wakefield. He is blamed for specific incidences, like measles outbreaks at the time. But a bigger dip happened in 2019 with the bullshit nationalism messaging (don’t let the government tell you what to do)

He’s all of one half of one sentence in the main wiki article on the centuries-old antivax movement, shared with a 1980’s similar scare.

I think we have age bias – it was the story of our time so we as more weight to it. There are so many true and false stories of vaccines for centuries.

I think a better analogy is you’re trying to say without Bill Gates, personal computing wouldn’t exist, when it was already moving in that direction, and Hell, I’m pretty sure apple and Microsoft build their idea on an operating system that was created by xerox first.

Tom Scott did an episode where he explained that going back and retrofitting old videos with the shock face and click bait titles upped his views by a lot

To the geriatrics in Congress, kid is anyone under 50

what a terrible way to live in such modern times, the year of our Lord MMXXIV

What I mean is that whether he existed or not, something was bound to mainstream the antivax movement

At this point, he was a symptom. He was pushing a narrative those people already wanted to hear. They’d likely still be the way they are. They’d have found their excuse somewhere. And by now, anyone not immediately, loudly, aggressively pushing back on the bullshit narrative are bad actors with ill intentions

I meant I’m on Mobile and this Google antitrust article has a 90s era image of Bill Gates as the thumbnail

I read to figure out why an image of Bill Gates is attached to the story

Glitter is a novelty in every use case, though.

Polyester is too, but it’s a substantial and noticeable difference and improvement (a milestone even) as a life comfort. Glitter is just nice to look at.

It’s where I first learned that the computer will automatically block your password with ******

Police and MOVE were still exchanging gunfire, so the firefighters were ordered to back away.

Also, to add some intent, the police plan was to make a hole in the roof through which they could shoot year gas and force MOVE members to evacuate. Witnesses did see officers on the adjoining buildings ready to go. It was a stupid plan.

The conspiracy part comes in, though, because we really only have the word of the police on all of this, since all but two of the MOVE people died, and one was a child
