WFH, desk job, multiple monitors, remain sitting at the desk after work because fuck outside.

This is apparently a thing he does, and this will be a “walk in the park,” so to speak:

In 2019, he became the first and only person to make the 80-mile round-trip hike to Mount Everest Base Camp without shoes. Two years later, he set the 2021 Guinness World Record for the longest barefoot journey after hiking 1,875 miles on the Australian coast. Now he plans to break that record by walking 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to New York City, entirely barefoot.

He slipped real hard during his presidential bid. Remember how his VP pick was Sarah Palin, for example.

Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they’re willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they’re in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.

Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.

You can say “shit,” it’s okay.

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

I’m willing to bet the super tall pickups and SUVs are more likely to hop over those steel guardrails, too. Related: Those sloped concrete dividers that have a slightly shallower slope at their wider bottom? Those are super effective, because that bottom slope deflects the vehicle’s front wheel, causing it to turn slightly away from the barrier instead of continuing to smash through it.

Society and politics work only when people agree to abide by the same general set of rules. When a sufficient amount of sociopolitical power stop agreeing to rules, it all falls apart. Most importantly, that sufficient amount is not anywhere near a majority. A large enough minority behaving with disregard to existing rules and norms, and only in their own self-interest, will overwhelm the ability of the rest of us to manage a functioning society. Not only are the disregard of rules and selfish aims a threat, the unpredictability is, too.

Driil, drill, drill?

In all fairness, they did whine first before ghosting.

Ashcroft: “Are you scared of the truth?”

Sanchez: “Oh, I am not terrified of the truth at all, seems like you might be.”

You need to watch those clips in the Xitter link. Sanchez is on fucking fire and does not let up.

I mean, really, how could anyone think that the abilities to eat and to see are in any way related to human health?

How can you ban … celebrations?

Because what two foreign powers decide to do is totally Biden’s responsibility?

From the filing, should have been included in the article:

Mr. Biden seeks specific information from three former DOJ officials and the former President that goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last administration, in violation of Mr. Biden’s Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

That’s why I was confused - nobody said anything in this particular thread about Thinkpads, and you said “Wait till you hear where Lenovo came from” after I’d mentioned IBM.

If you were saying “Guess what, Lenovo came from IBM,” I’d essentially just said that.

I think you’re referring to IBM. Lenovo has always been suspicious.

I long for the days when this would have been the biggest story in US politics for weeks.

Good plays by rules. Evil does not.
