I wish police would simply enforce noise ordinances

Easier said than done, unfortunately. They need sound meters to do anything reliably, and then there’s the issue of catching them. Even slow, inefficient bikes tend to be much faster and more maneuverable than patrol cars, so motorcyclists are quite a bit more likely to run. Especially the ones that are already violating noise ordinances.

It used to bother me, but now I rationalize to myself that shrimp poop is basically just sand anyway.

If you psych yourself out about the details of eating another animal then it’s pretty much always disgusting.

She clearly and concisely responded the questions she was obviously going to be asked. You may disagree with the answers, or you may just not like politicians, but she was obviously prepared and professional.

Donald rambled, lied, and went off topic constantly. He spent more time talking about what Kamala said than his own policy. When he was pressed on policy he had unclear answers or dodged entirely (e.g. “concepts of a plan”).

He came across as unhinged, bordering on detached from reality, and he seemingly doesn’t have any plan or vision for the country, except that it definitely isn’t project 2025 (except it probably is). He was undeniably more interesting to watch, but not in a good way. Based purely on the debate from last night it’s not clear if he’s fit to lead a book club, let alone a nuclear superpower.

Hey now, let’s be fair!

It’s entirely possible he rigorously prepared and that was genuinely the best he could do.

If they didn’t want her to voice her opinion they shouldn’t have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn’t agree with, or make her true opinion known.

In fairness neither kid rock nor ted Nugent are relevant enough to convince any significant number of people to vote.

I’d guess a few. Swift’s background in country means she’s got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.

It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay

Jesus Christ, this feels like it crossed a line even for him

It could be either; he thinks he won or he knows he lost and has no hope of improving.

Fwiw I think the few undecideds that are left probably saw what they needed to make their decision last night.

Or knowingly lying to try and make Trump look like less of a loser, which I realized while writing this sentence means they’re definitely still brain-dead.

Who are we kidding, they probably didn’t even watch it.

So… Still unacceptably low. Got it.

Every time a right wing pundit talks about the left wing hive mind it’s a clear tell that they have no understanding of their political rivals at all…

The left is criticizing him but his base doesn’t care.

The right is falling in line, as they tend to. In fairness, it’s waaaay too late for them to do anything about it now.

More like a pig wallowing in shit if you ask me

The reason they don’t want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don’t mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they’ve got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you’ll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there’s probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you’re caught.

If you’re doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.

Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho

How the fuck else are you supposed to drink a shake? One scoop at a time with a spoon? Slurp it straight from the cup?

Or is ice cream just no acceptable for men altogether?
