Gen Alpha started it, but Xers, millennials and even boomers are trying so hard to capitalize on it. We had a parade in town a week and change ago and there number of city council members and other people with political clout that kept saying it and making the jiggle hands motion was cringeworthy. Local car dealerships are offering oil changes for $67.67 to capitalize on the brain rot. I’ve seen several other “deals” where pricing when from 5.99 to 6.67. There is nothing a capitalist won’t try to take advantage of, no matter how little they understand it.

I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(

Cotton Lane: because this used to be cotton fields, one of the major agriculture crops of Arizona

Prison: because when this prison was built, it was like 25 miles west of town, now it’s continuous city well past this point

Surprise: a western suburb of Phoenix

Zoo: wildlife world zoo, a private zoo with too small cages and little in the way of habitat for the animals.

Trailers: because the Phoenix area is a trailer park that somehow grew up into a city.

You just don’t get 11 dimensional particle physics. I was actually into it up until that point. As soon as they pulled that shit, I would have quit but wanted to finish for our book club discussion.

People forget that there’s already a breakdown of the US between the country and state levels. The federal district courts divide the country into 11 districts. This effectively means there are groups of states where court precedence equates to different interpretations on the same laws.

So if something were to divide the country this map might make a good breakdown. It’s not very geographically regional, but few state borders are.

That cafe run is a break from whatever misery requires so much caffeine.

Childhood happiness was centered around Christmas, or maybe a family trip to a place like Disneyland. I was generally happy as a kid, except for the times dealing with school bullies. Nothing in my childhood compared to the absolute giddiness of seeing my wife in her wedding dress for that first look, nor the pure joy of realizing for the first time just how much I love my children.

Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.

Funny, I have the opposite complaint about Fallout 4. In what is supposed to be a nuclear wasteland of a city where everyone is struggling to keep their small communities going, there are just too many people in such a small space to make this feel real. I liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas more because the world was properly empty, but still had so many things to discover.

In programming you declare variables. To keep it simple let’s say there are only 2 types, numbers and words.

Now 1 is obviously a number, and ‘word’ is obviously a word. If I ask you to divide 100 by ‘word’ you’d have to tell me that’s not possible.

Now what if a say divide 100 by the “word” ‘10’? Well I’m a strongly typed programming language, you’d have to tell me “well, because you defined it with the single quotes, that’s actually a word so you can’t do math on it.” In a loosely typed language you’d be like “yeah I get that ‘10’ meant the number 10 so I’ll do the math.

This creates amusing weirdness in loosely typed languages, especially when they use math operators to represent word actions. For instance JavaScript is infamously loosely typed and uses the + sign to join words together so if I say ‘Java’ + ‘Script’, I get back ‘JavaScript’. So all the following are true in JavaScript:

1+1=2 1-1=0 ‘1’+1=11 because the ‘1’ makes it think you want to join words and it converts the second number 1 to a word ‘11’-1=10 because there’s no word operation applied to the minus sign, so it converted the word ‘11’ to a number

There’s lots of other tomfoolery, but I’m trying to keep the explanation simple. But any mixing of words and numbers in a strongly typed language would just give you an error.

I’m with the top reply of this thread, you don’t need strong typing if you understand what the code does.

One thing to remember is that Batman is crazy. He doesn’t consider himself Bruce Wayne, he considers Bruce a mask he wears. He is Batman. Superman calls him Bruce to try to keep him grounded, but he’s already lost it. For Bruce to develop and have friends and a personal life, he has to first get past his need to be Batman. His psychosis keeps him from moving forward.

Spiderman totally deserves a break though. That kid puts himself through hell out of guilt. But for him to stop torturing himself he has to forgive his mistakes and guilt over Ben. He can still be Spiderman after that, so I’m all for it.

The cyanide thing was a single person covering the murder of their spouse by contaminating a bunch of Tylenol at the same drug store. And that happened decades ago. It’s why there are so many “tamper evident” seals now.

Unless this actually happened recently and I just never heard about it.

My wife’s a meal planner, I’m more of a ‘whatever’s in the house’ type of cook. Just throw random shit together if it even sounds close to good. So I’d probably just do lots of stir-fries of all the random ingredients for planned meals that didn’t happen but still live in our freezer.

She’d return to what appears to be freezer that I cleaned out, and I will have put next to no thought into cooking.

Gauntlet in the arcade was the worst. Not only did enemies reduce your health, so did time. You were effectively bleeding out and propping yourself up with quarters.

When presented with this article they’ll also pass out off as “politicians lie” like his list isn’t miles longer than others.

Nah, she’s exactly what we can expect from Dems. She’s not progressive, but other than the ID thing, she’s got a pretty good track record. Even that was a lost cause but I would have rather her not roll over. Anyway, she’s not perfect but a hell of a lot better than where we’re be if Lake won.

My brother was murdered for stealing cash and drugs from a drug dealer. It was in the 2010’s and totaled about $1000. So maybe a little more than this even factoring for inflation. The killer got off due to some complications with the PA and two very partial juror. 11/12 guilty votes in 2 trials, and both times one guy who refused to vote guilty based on the race of the killer and the race of my brother.

I put this out there because this case hits very close to home. No one in my family ever even hoped for the death penalty. There is no reason to eye-for-an-eye here. Even if cruelty is the point, it’s crueler to make them miss the rest of their potential life. For me, there is always the possibility it’s the wrong guy, and if so, they should have no limit on how long they spend trying to prove their innocence.

There is no place for the death penalty in today’s world.

Death doesn’t even notice Thanos exists, but finds Deadpool amusing. Thanos is watching his crush go on dates with the class clown.

Lady Death is an anthropomorphism of death. The marvel comics version of the grim reaper. Not a hero, just a thing that exists.
