Weren’t a bunch of founding fathers lawyers? John Adams?

To quote my well known journalist friend after switching from twitter “what’s that? Oh, that open source stuff? Hahaha nah bruh, mastodon is silly”

Wonder if they’re just being honest vs feeling more strongly

Asking in earnest. Who is their demographic? Same as CBS TV?

If there’s a God, House Bolton will catch up with him on the National Mall

97. Ep 5.

Friend in fedramp at tier 1 infra company said DHS is issuing POs like hot cakes in fear of losing budgets

Your username… are you a teacher in the Bay?

Lmao 11 yr olds are terrifying

I just got ill

Not advocating for all this, but if they really cared, couldn’t they just run down the registered sex offender list and start with the multiple convictions?

I used to hate them for being slow and annoying. Now they drive like us and I hate them for being dicks. This morning, one of them made an insane move that only the worst Audi drivers in my area do, a massive left over a solid yellow across no stop sign with me coming right at it before it even began acceleration into the intersection.

Tbh I’ve decided I can live with less and less of this. I’ll never go back to the giant ad covered spaces. But if this doesn’t pickup or even dies, meh

I didn’t realize he was that old but when you think of who he fought… RIP.

They’re talking about waste and I’m paying for her fucking remodel from my blue state coffers? Fuck her business. Freeloading parasite.

The 60 to 0 is so abrupt in the noise they made, I’m starting to wonder how significant a portion of that cohort was just bots and troll farms

Almost downvoted instinctually as a reaction to the headline. Visceral reaction. I hate this beyond belief.

What have you ever done in your life keyboard warrior? Stfu

Awwww thanks - I don’t think I’m evil, but I’m definitely a kind, not nice, type of guy. I’m from Brooklyn so I even sound like a dick while being helpful. (E.g. “wtfs a matta w you? 34th St is right there after 33rd… lemme carry those bags and help walk you there you fucking jackass!”) So if an asshole like me can be a do gooder, it proves anyone can help! Lol - tbh it also helps me chill - my ADHD makes me rush everywhere driving for optimization, but in a Buddhist way, this forces you to appreciate the journey and not focus on the destination. Also, it’s like my owner taking me by the scruff and forcing me to smell goodness in the world, when it’s easy to feel like there is none these days. It’s actually everywhere. It stays with you afterwards. I just had to picture one face lighting up when they open the door, and I start choking up.

It’s also an easy win and low barrier to entry, just need a whip and half a tank. I personally can go an entire weekend without leaving the house. Now I anchor my Saturday around this one thing that brings me joy helping others - and it kinda begets more positivity like early morning hikes, acupuncture, 7am nutritionist appointments, slow lunches at the diner counter bullshitting with strangers, etc

I volunteer for ours, doing deliveries. I bring my son to show him kindness, and the look on a person’s face when you feed them, when they can’t feed themselves. I think about the dollar value of my time as an exec doing it, also what it would cost to pay people a regular delivery driver wage… the amount of sum total hours and financial donations that go into every bag of groceries I deliver. I despise that with all the money in govt and capitalism, we even need to volunteer this. But also, I realize how huge an operation it is, and how incredible the NGO machine functions on free human labor fuel. The amount of food they just took from the mouths of families and children… I’m sitting here in tears reading this.
