Alt text: The top panel has a button on the left is labeled "We live on stolen land" and a button on the right labeled "Borders are just imaginary lines." The panel beneath it has a picture of a man labeled as "The Left" wiping off sweat, unable to choose.

A family member of mine who is full MAGA shared this meme with me. The Right does not seem to understand that while land cannot be truly owned, it can be in use by people, and other people can forcefully steal it from them.

At that point, it basically circles back to horses.

disgusting squishy, drippy blushing slut of a vegetable

Tomatoes are actually a fruit, not a vegetable.

In sci-fi proper that is also a plot point of Isaac Asimov's The Foundation. The giant galactic empire collapses and all the scholars are holed up on a planet to preserve knowledge. They then go out to other planets and give technology, but everyone is so ignorant that it seems like magic and the scholars kind of roll with it.

True! I tried looking around for one, but after scrolling through 5 long pages of search results I settled on using an image that could get the job done.

 

Alt text: An image of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants facing left with the caption "MAGA: Gun rights are necessary for people to fight back against the government." Another image of Patrick facing right with the caption "Also MAGA: Send the military to crush the people fighting back against the government."

Everyone has different comfort levels when interacting with people. Try and find situations where you feel it would be less of a bother. For example, if Spanish is a language you are learning, you can go to a Spanish or Latin American restaurant, and mention you want to practice. It is worth asking if the server speaks the language, so as not to assume.

A program I have used to help with outlining is Manuskript. It has a series of questions it will ask you to help with character and world building. It also has a section to write the novel in and keep track of chapters.

It is a bit on the older side, with the last update about a year and a half ago. It is available on Flathub if you want to take a look: https://flathub.org/apps/ch.theologeek.Manuskript

You mean die?

I think they mean "unalive"

Slop gobbler

I propose combining the two to make "Slopper."

Edit: Another comment below made the same suggestion first.

These cows look cute. On the other hand, one night I was driving through farmland on a dark and stormy night and my windshield wipers were grimey. I pulled over to wipe off the grime, and in the piercing light of the headlights I saw about 10 cows walk over to check out what was going on. The reduced visibility due to the rain made them look more menacing, lol.

my flavor of insane is incompatible with somebody else flavour of insane

Acknowledging that both (or more, I aint judging) parties of the relationship bring their own flavor of insanity truly is the foundation to good relationships.

All names are proper nouns. The meme points out the name is also a word at the regular noun level. Check and mate. Jk jk.

Because it's merely a figma of their imagination

 

Alt text. A picture of Bane lifting Batman in the air. Top text reads “Me: Trying not to use words I painstakingly learned in college to make a document accessible.” Bottom text reads “Readability tool: Victory has defeated you.”

 

I came across this website that focuses on highlighting books that are out if print but still worthy of reading, if you can find them. The most recent post (Feb. 29 2024) talks about the various reasons books become neglected.

 

Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

 

This book was compelling to read not because of any sense of mystery, of which there is some, but because I wanted to learn more about what the characters were thinking as the author cycled through all their different perspectives.

 

This part of the article was the really infuriating part to me:

"In fact, his research shows that by square footage, there is more housing for each car in this country than there is housing for each person. In 2016, Bloomberg reported that there were more three-car garages being built than one-bedroom apartments."

 

It is a good read for those that enjoy young adult novels with a good balance of comedy, drama, and discussing some heavy subjects.
