I'd argue that it is a lot easier to inform the public when the campaign doesn't have to cover as much area and that it becomes more difficult to buy every race when there are more of them.

This right here. My parents explained in all the ways they could. I still ended up smoking. We're a society and a society should have some responsibility to its kids. What happened to. The idea that it takes a village to raise a child? Some keep trying to heap all of the responsibility on parents when they're just being asked to forego fruity flavored cancer.

Okay, that was a pretty cool read! I had no idea these things existed. Thanks, I didn't expect to learn anything cool in a thread on Pete Hegzeth's poor hygiene.

I kind fo agree and kind of don't. I agree in that parents should take accountability for their children. That said, social media has been shown to be addictive and kids are frequently ahead of their parents technologically. One thing that could help is an education campaign that teaches parents how to effectively monitor their kid's online activity. Parents need some help figuring out what tools to use and how to use them I think.

They do have light and medium roasts, too. I'm not saying their coffee is great, but it's not all burnt either.

I like those too, but they're a different thing IMO.

The problem with that is, if it isn't required to go to food, it often won't. That doesn't just impact the parents. It also impacts the kids.

I still buy Tostitos, but only when they are run their "Buy 4 or More for $1.99 Each" sale or something similar. They're stupidly expensive otherwise.

So, the Democrats push their member to resign while the Republicans allow theirs to hold on until it won't hurt their vote margin. If the dems hadn't lost one, the repubs would have let him keep hanging on.

What do you think a subscription is? Or do you really think people are going to go back to buying physical papers?

Cool, thanks! That's some crazy high ISO.

Thanks for the info, that's awesome! Based on the quality of the image, I'd guess this was a specialized camera designed to have a broader range of sensitivity. Do you know if that's right or did they just use a nice DSLR?

Also, the first image has been corrected for rayleigh scattering, either algorithmically or artistically. The second image does not appear to have been corrected. It looks similar to what we get from geostationary satellites prior to performing rayleigh scattering correction.

 

I'm a white guy from a fairly non-diverse city. I was at a grocery store today where a cashier opened up their line to serve me and, I thought, the person behind me. As they were serving me, though, they put up their lane closed sign right in front of the black man behind me. The buy was just trying to purchase some tuna, bread, and peanut butter.

The cashier basically decided to serve me, a middle class white man, but refused to serve the black man behind me. I was so shocked that I didn't say anything. It is possible that I misunderstood the situation but it seemed so blatant.

What should I have done in this situation? Should I have spoken up? Would that have just been more embarrassing for the man who was being discriminated against?

Honestly, I'm still just in shock to see someone treated so poorly when they were simply trying to buy food for themselves. I recognize that means that I'm sheltered but I also feel like I should be able to use my unearned privilege to help others who are being discriminated against.

 

 

I keep running into issues where I'm unsure of which account I'm currently using. It would be nice if it were more obvious at all times. Two things that would help me are:

  • always display the current user somewhere, regardless of what content is being viewed.
  • allow setting different color themes for different users.
