There's a part of a highway near Denver where it'll tell you to take a "slight right to stay on highway", and there is literally no possible turn or off ramp there.

I've always heard that weed smokers have less dreams, but as someone who kinda started doing it more regularly within the last year, I haven't experienced that? Honestly I think I tend to have more vivid and weird dreams when I've smoked before bed. Do some people not get the REM suppression?

I think that this is making fun of the people who were upset at Ariel being black in the remake. The people this is making fun of don't care about recasting race until it's done from a white character to a black one. It's pointing out hypocrisy.

John Stewart communicates a sincerity that the rest of the correspondents and hosts haven't really managed. They mix in a bit too much smugness or something. I find them all fine in small doses, but only John Oliver has really matched those moments where John Stewart looks at the camera and seems to be pleading with ALL of the American people. He had a way of criticizing without being elitist.

I think this kinda thing is more in response to people who believe that autism/ADHD/neurodivergence in general is some new thing that never existed in the past. There's a lot of historical behavior that could be explained.

So I'm on the top floor of a 2 story house (floor 1 in British). You're on the ground floor. Would you say that I'm "up on the first floor" if someone asked where I was? That seems very weird to me.

It's the same story with almost all of their stuff. They let their creators be really weird in the opening episodes and then it eventually boils down to the Marvel Formula halfway through and becomes a boring mess.

Poetry isn't just about being technical, it's about communicating a thought or feeling. I relate to the feeling of time slipping away, and this poem communicates that feeling in a very effective way such that I feel a connection to the writer. That's all.

School isn't just learning the stuff in the classes. It's the shared experience too. It's the teachers holding you accountable for learning.

"Going to school" is a very different thing than just trying to learn on your own. Self motivation and time are a huge barrier for a lot of people. I think the OP was imagining being able to go to school every day and just take classes for free with other people also interested.

Almost all the airlines are doing that these days.

Until we can make crossing those lines painful for those companies, they'll keep doing it. Unfortunately, I think convenience is always going to beat morality if you leave it to "voting with your dollar", we need actual regulations from our governments to combat this shit.

It's honestly a pretty fun game! It is Overwatch+Dota and the way they've done landing/farming with last hits and denies in a shooter is really interesting.

Team fights are fairly chaotic and I can't tell what's going on, and honestly there might be too much complexity, but the moment to moment gameplay is really solid. Movement and shooting feel great, combat is chunky and satisfying, and comebacks are semi common.

IDK if I have the desire to get into another MOBA like this, but this is unique enough to enjoy playing with friends for awhile.
