Chat is it bad when they start manufacturing consent for "you dont REALLY need water"
You don’t need to make drinking water a part-time job since too much of it doesn’t have any real health benefit.

Poor and working men are meant to have women of their class to abuse and dominate as compensation for the exploitations and humiliations of capital. When you point out that allowing this is a violation of class solidarity working class women, you’re accused of siding with management’s interests.
It sure *sounds* like we’re supposed to live in a world where working class men can be toxic and awful and we should embrace that’s as authentic, and working class women presumably simply get abused. And that’s supposed to be ok.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".
American decline is due, in large part, to the persistent efforts by rich people to ensure that their own progeny retain wealth and power no matter how stupid and lazy they are.

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

![[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars.

So our flight is now going to be delayed by an hour and we're probably going to miss our flight to Brisbane. 😭 Everyone, cross your fingers for a miracle?

People who use "literally" in a figurative context aren't using it to mean "figuratively," but as an intensifier -- that is, its function in this context actually *depends* on its literal definition.
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

Okay we are packed up and getting ready to leave Detroit. Would've preferred not to end up coughing our guts out, but Miss Lucy, the airbnb host, has taken wonderful care of us. She brought us Vernors AND Tagalongs.

Currently trying to change our flight tonight cause my cold has gotten much worse, and driving today sounds like the worst idea.
And, you know, Michigander. Admitting driving is a bad idea is against all my morals.
