I refuse to spend any money on earbuds that will be immediately lost.

Their justification is that they would have banned them anyway if they’d thought of it on their own, but now that somebody’s brought it up they realize it exists and provided the smallest justification to ban it.
It makes me glad that my state passed a law against banking books (in public libraries at least). Hopefully it’ll spread to public schools. Religious schools are probably a lost cause though.
This is what I get when I turn off snapping.
They must not be Americans. I envy them, but at least when I eat my own weight in pizza it’s actually good pizza.
Putin: Blyat, am need more bodies for war. Where to find idiot who sells cannon fodder? President Kim, my good friend!
He’ll probably call foul on the rules that remove his strongest advantage - a whipped-up mob.
Well there is, but it’s illegal and these bastards sure ain’t gonna endanger their own lives.
I just can’t any more…
I hate agreeing with a church on anything, but when you’re right you’re right.
A buddy of mine made bacon ice cream once, but um… I think they did it wrong. It was bad. Really really bad.
Underwater at least; there are fresh water eels.
This probably happened the same way as a kid I knew was back in highschool’ house for set on fire. In his case, the little sister knocked over a candle. I bet this tortoise did the same thing. At least the tortoise has an excuse. That kid’s little sister was just an idiot.
Masterful polluting of the data. This is the digital version of shitting in the water source that PepsiCo taps for its spring water (not to be confused with the normal water that it loots from municipal sources).
It always starts with the non-combatants.
I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.
The Munsters was done already.
They’ll doublethink their way out of it somehow.
As a kid I worked fast food for a few years, and there was an “English only” on the line where customers could hear. One of our managers was Mexican, and actually enforced this pretty strongly. He once told us about when he went to a Subway and the staff was speaking what he suspected was Hindi, and explained to us all that yeah, it matters sense, you tend to get upset when you can’t understand people. They could be saying anything, making fun of you without your knowing, or whatever.
I tend to just ignore other languages (I’m in Chicagoland, there’s plenty of them) and an of the opinion that lack of exposure is one of the root causes of ethnic (and of other kinds of) intolerance. A lot of Americans live in their little rural bubbles where everything is samey and familiar, dealing with their little isolated lives, away from anyone noticably different than themselves. They’re tribalistic and comfortable there, and don’t like outsiders or change. They vote Republican because “people from the city” are bad, and they’re Democrats.
It’s not a new problem. The root philosophy in the fucking Bible is that “city people are immoral” because its all passed down by oral tradition, and its oldest stories are descended from periods when its creators were nomadic herders. Hospitality for them vs. urban hospitality are very different, and of course anecdotes get mutated through centuries of the telephone game.
TL;DR, lots of people need to meet more kinda of people and it’s been a problem since forever.
