He was on Fox News and wasn't denying the election at all. He sounded tired and defeated, saying they were gonna work with Democrats as best they could.

Which, given his previous reactions to losing makes me think he realizes he's boned

    There is nothing, which makes those kinds of resolutions really dumb.

    "We put in a law that says you can't tax us ever again double dog no takesies backsies forever to infinity."

    "... yeah we pass a law that repeals that. And now we tax you."

    Dumb shit, just makes it take time.

    I could not name a single Emmy nominated show if you asked me to. And honestly, as I've said elsewhere, neither could any of my friends. It's possible that I'm just in communities that tend not to watch television? But I think that it's crazy that I could ask like eight or nine people "Hey, have you heard of Breaking Bad?" And all nine would say "Yeah of course" and those same nine people will confirm that they have not ever heard of Succession. Or Fleabag. Or Atlanta.

    What is this list, lmao

    Breaking Bad #1?

    30 Rock above The Office?

    Edit: I haven't even heard of half these shows. Succession? Fleabag? Atlanta? I haven't seen a single ad for any of these, nor have any social circle I've been in ever mentioned them. Complete unknowns in the top 10

    I read somewhere that the same provision that forbade bestiality also disqualifies people who have been found to have paid for sex three or more times in the last ten years. I think that what's actually happening is that Patel, or a buddy of his, got caught hiring prostitutes a few too many times, and now want to repeal the rule so they don't get kicked out.

    But someone saw 'bestiality' and decided to make it about that to distract people.

    Hello! I have a question!

    I've been just skimming about Carbon Capture and Sequestration, and how scientists research naturally occurring CCS as it pertains to photosynthesis in plants.

    I wanted to ask what sort of discoveries have been made in this area! It seems really interesting. I wonder what research is being done to maybe combat climate change through bio-engineering, like, really really carbon-hungry plants? Or maybe Reforestation efforts in order to make big forests that eat up carbon!

    In addition, I'm wondering if we've seen any natural reaction to climate change in this area. Part of my (rudimentary) understanding of natural adaptation is that we will sometimes see things adapt to the circumstances that humans have caused, like the new fungus that eats radiation in Chernobyl, or new microbes that eat plastic that we've seen.

    Have we seen any sort of natural reaction to increased carbon in the atmosphere? Have we seen any cool plants or little fellas evolve to munch carbon more effectively? Or maybe we've seen much faster growth or bigger plants on average because there's so much carbon for them?

    I'm just kinda in an excited mood and wanted to ask about cool stuff. Please share all your cool stuff.

    Hey, I work for a mental health call center, we take several lines and one of them is the 988 line. Many places will actually take volunteers, and they'll give you the training you need. If you want help looking for volunteer opportunities in your area, feel free to DM me and I can help locate those with you.

    If you want other suggestions of how to help, I have many!

    Okay, what would you like details on?

    It runs without stuttering, the controls are responsive, there's no lag. Like, what do you suspect I'm experiencing that I'm not telling you about? I'm unsure what could be different about my set up from all of the people having issues. Perhaps I'm just lucky?

    Hello Map Enthusiasts!

    I was looking through old boxes from my childhood and found my grandfather's old globe. I recall each of us using it to look at different countries and learn where they all are. When I opened up the box now, more than a decade after his passing, I decided I wanted to know more about it.

    The label says that it is a Cram Imperial Globe, and I looked up how to date the globe based on which countries are in existence on it. I determined that this globe must have been made between May 1990 and October 1990 because it has a unified Yemen on it, but still has East and West Germany on it.

    It's in pretty decent shape for its age I think. There are spots where I think grandpa had to tape the equator back on it haha
