I like this.

There are 2 images of ‘the evolution of man’ on this page. The 2nd one seems close to what you’re asking for.
12·3 months agoPhillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.
I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.
Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.
I don’t know if this link will work, but Moody’s just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody’s economist on their podcast today:

E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)
Agreed on the independence part. We are much more interdependent than we let on (in the US especially, but other places as well).
If everyone 30+ got together and collectively decided what thriving meant, then worked to reach those goals, then I think we would all be thriving.
The majority isn’t hoping for a vacation home or to send their kids to Ivy League schools or to buy a bigger boat. The majority of middle class folk I talk to regard thriving as being comfortable enough to send the kids to some postsecondary school and take a few weeks vacation out of the country. They want to have enough to retire at 65 and live a modest life, be able to spoil their grandkids a little… nothing crazy.
The ability for all of us to thrive is already here. It is only the slight matter of systemic overhaul that prevents us.
13·5 months agoIf street legal in your area, golf carts should be treated like any other small vehicle like a moped. Restrict it to 35 mph or lower roads, keep it out of bike lanes, register it if needed… the list goes on.
You mention PTC. There, they treat it like any other vehicle. You absolutely can get a DUI (and they love to hand them out). But PTC is a cart community and was born with those laws in place. In a more urban setting where carts are mixing with other light EVs, of course you should hold them to the same rules, but the laws haven’t been written yet.
Please don’t condemn an inexpensive, more sustainable mode of transportation just because a few douche-nozzles are trying to ruin it. A cart seats 4, runs off cheap rechargeables, has a small footprint and low wear and tear on our roads, is a neighborhood level form of transportation and is an attainable EV for anyone who wants to dip a toe in.
Driving across a park in your cart and tearing up the grass while being a tool should always end in a clothesline.
Edit: Sorry, I just realized I replied to the wrong person. We are arguing the same point. No animosity to you. Thumbs up.
Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292

Sorry.
This is an astute answer. Bravo.
In the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, this response is completely warranted. After 9/11, it was difficult in America to celebrate anything immediately after. You had to address it. “I know we are all in pain, but my son was born today and I’m happy.”
The reelection was traumatic for those that remember the insanity of the 1st term. And it ended in a worldwide trauma that we are all still trying to wrap our minds around.
After a while, though, it can be seen as performative. But let’s give people time to grieve if they need it.
“No women, no kids” is good enough for me.
If peeing your pants is cool, then I’m Miles Davis.
I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.
This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!
