Right. Important to mentally distinguish "they are distancing themselves from X because they think X is wrong" and "they are distancing themselves from X because they realize X is unpopular, and don't want the electoral hit of having to discuss X now, but will enthusiastically do X once elected"

Wonder why the White House would have a Parkinson's expert visiting over the last year. Very suspicious stuff

When I was a baby accountant, we were the auditors for the Stratosphere during its IPO (when it was still Stupak's place, it smelled so bad). I got to walk on top of it once in the open air when it was half built, which was pretty cool.

This makes me so nostalgic. I haven't thought of the El Cortez in years. That was my dad's place to gamble when I was in HS. He used to play craps and get a comp, and then I'd meet him for dinner in the restaurant a few times a week.

Yes! I like to play games, but I am not good. I just wanna have fun. Let me be bad. It's ok. I'm not hurting anyone in a single player game. Don't make me get my kid to do the hard stuff for me!

We got the Joro spider freakout headlines last year when they moved to my area. I've seen a few in my yard over the last year and they're fine. Big webs, pretty spiders, no eating my face.

My immersion blender has an attachment that is similar to this. It's a great combo tool. It also has a balloon whisk that I use to whip cream. It's my favorite tool in the kitchen.

I keep getting a prompt to turn this on, and it's so irritating. I got one of those surveys for feedback on Adobe, and my only response was to stop pushing AI on me. It's so irritating. I can't wait for this to go the way of NFTs and Blockchain.

That's where I had issues. I need a cozy game. Running away from zurks was where it lost me. I'm bad at games where I shoot stuff. I need something where I can't die. (I did like parts of it, shooting and all that needs to be optional)

If you owe (but not enough to trigger a penalty), you can also file early (to make sure that no one else can fraudulently file with your SSN) and then wait to pay until April 15.

I never want to interact with other humans online (or IRL, TBH), and I'm playing NMS as a single player cozy game and the customizable settings have me doing just that. I'm exploring and farming and crafting and having a great time. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Had someone (a middle aged man at the time) apply for an accounting job with the personal email "Conman69" His last name started with Con-, and he may have been born in 1969, but he failed the "good judgment" test and was not hired.

Every time we need a new appliance, my husband wants one that connects to the internet (just because that would be cool? He won't use that feature, and neither will I) and I have to veto that for one that just works and does what I need it to do.

Sometimes it's the opposite. When my son was 8 I told him we were going home after a visit to San Diego to visit Grandpa and I took him on a surprise second trip to Legoland and Disney Land instead. He got mad that I lied to him. (We still went to the parks and he had fun.)

It's been a while, but when I was a retail analyst they made most of their margins from the stuff you buy in the store on the way to pick up your Rx. Personally, I'm not waiting for someone to unlock a box but I have the luxury to go elsewhere. Some folks don't.

Sometimes I skim, but only if a Point is being Hammered. I also go back to re-read (or slow down) if things are complex. I'm not going to blame an author for my lack of comprehension. I love a complex plot.

Based on my feed this morning, it seems that the two most successful things ever discovered are UBI and gender-affirming care. Both shown to be nearly 100% reliable in test after test and survey after survey.
