I don't mask much these days, but I'll never go to a doctor's office without an N95 ever again.

That's not ADHD, that's just being human.

This is a very, VERY good policy. Similarly, a period of brief silence in a conversation to gather yourself and pull it together is generally better than immediately responding to someone being upsetting/irritating.

Yeah, 3's my threshold too (physics prof, here). Unless it's an actual error on my part of course, then I send something out to everyone as soon as one person points it out (or I catch it myself).

That's a fantastic test and, unfortunately, a lot of recent tech fails it spectacularly too.

Meat eater or not, EVERYONE should read The Jungle. There's wide misunderstanding about why regulation is important and you can't ask for a better demonstration.

You just know this is one of those people that thinks Star Trek has "gone woke" too. The ability of some folks to miss the blindingly obvious in pursuit of their own awfulness will never cease to amaze me.

The correct answer to that is always "yes," especially if it's the first 4 seasons.

Absolutely. I really can't say enough nice things about XBlock, it lowers the toxicity level drastically.

Yeah, I've been using Xblock for a few months now and it's done wonders for my enjoyment of this place.

Thanks for putting scare quotes around "AI." This should be standard practice but for some reason isn't. There's nothing intelligent" about it.

Drat, I deleted that reply to edit it (I thought there was an edit button here?) and inadvertently orphaned this. Now the kid will never get the investment advice he needs!

What's funny is, on first look I figured the "Appeal to Law" shirt was a criticism of his malfeasance. Not until I saw who was selling it did I realize it was supposed to be a statement in support.

Yeah, I'd love to get more Indexing (might actually be my favorite of her series, all of which I really enjoy) but I don't understand how she's keeping all these plates spinning as it is!

This is the only relevant question. The fundamental problem with the NYT (and much of the mainstream press these days) is a desperate, cloying need to create the appearance of equivalence where no equivalence exists. That's exactly how Trump got elected the first time and they've learned nothing.

As I understand it, he does count Kill Bill as one movie, but for some reason he's including Death Proof in the count.

Your short fiction doesn't get nearly as many eyeballs as it deserves - you do amazing world building with it. Really wish your publishers would collect all the October shorts and all the Incryptid shorts into collections (well, probably several collections each). I'd buy the hell out of those.

Yeah, more people need to be made aware of this. The names didn't change, your supplier did, and right along with the inferior names you get an inferior product.

I mean, most things you post are things I'd at least try. Then there are those times you crumble Oreos into mayo. The less said about that the better.

My parents have always "decaffed" tea by the "30 seconds and toss" rule but from what little hard data I can find it looks like the real impact of that is reducing the caffeine by around 50%. Certainly better than nothing but, as you say, a long way from "decaffeinated."

The previous game, "My Time and Portia" is also truly excellent. They're both lovely, relaxing games.

There is no "far left" in this country, and that kind of "both sides!" sophistry is what's allowed the Overton window to slide so far right that the GOP is now openly anti-democracy.
