Gads... I hate when people do that... Like ... .what even is punctuation??? I'll never know.......

Most people are courteous enough not to idle their car with the exhaust pipe right in a doorway. Their analogy is some serious mental gymnastics.

I don't think it's that they're hoping someone will take care of Luigi for them, I think it's that they are aware of his popularity and are afraid someone will try to liberate him by shooting at them. They're just taking extra security precautions to make sure he can't escape, so that he will face his death penalty and thereby remind the working class of our place.

Suddenly realizing the anti-education efforts of the Republican bunch, the Koch's and all their ilk, is actually motivated by self-preservation. It's harder to know how to kill your overlords if you never learn about anatomy to know what parts are fragile. For example, you'd never know that cutting the femoral arteries can be every bit as fatal as the carotids, or that when targeting the heart/lungs a knife blade in a vertical orientation would just get caught in the ribs, or that puncturing both lungs would also be extremely bad.

A gut wound that reaches the abdominal aorta very well could be death, but how many people even know where it is?

In mild cases of autism, perhaps. It can be severe and debilitating, to the point of requiring life-long 24/7 care.

That said, conspiracy nuts buying that vaccines cause autism and failing to see the actual, real-life conspiracy which lead to the idea of vaccines causing autism would be absolutely fucking hilarious if it hadn't been the direct cause of countless dead children. Read up on Andrew Wakefield if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Who is original artist / source?

I feel like we were saying the opposite? I am not in any sort of relationship presently.

Eh, I'm not sure I would say that. Someone can love/appr ciate and want something even knowing that procuring the thing has ethical problems. Desiring something isn't the same as being okay with the problems that come with acquiring it. It's the being okay with procuring a diamond despite the ethical problems and bullshit that would be a massive red flag to me.

For myself, I'd be having serious second thoughts about a relationship with a person who felt an expensive ring was somehow necessary. But merely wanting it, particularly if out of a sense of tradition or symbolism rather than as some silly signal of wealth, wouldn't perturb me.

While Park said an [sic] seeing an enrollment cliff isn’t occurring just yet, [...]

None of those people are 18 yet. The 2007 kids, from when birth rates last peaked, are just now 17. The declining birth rate hasn't caught up yet.

The article says it's multifactorial, but predominantly cost and the need to work;

The cost of college is the number one barrier to enrolling in higher education for adults not enrolled in such a program, according to a 2024 report from Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. That report also found that for more than three-quarters of the more than 3,000 unenrolled adults polled, cost and the need to work were preventing them from pursuing further education.

Imagine being a teenager. Hungry AF because being a teenager. Cook a ton of food because hungry AF because teenager. Parent pops head in kitchen "Oh, did you cook for sick old me? That's so sweet". Teen: "oh, uhhhh... Yes yes, exactly, that's what I did!"

Welp, I know what game I'm playing next.

Should have been Wookiee ragings instead of Ewok shenanigans.
