A serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet.

It is a tense moment. The serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose drips.

I'd love to see a video that takes this concept, but walks around with it. Literally

Start by getting out of a car on the side of the street or in a parking lot, and when the camera gets out of the car, all the "car areas" drop away, leaving only the paths you're "allowed" to take. Tiny sections right against the parking spaces, zebra crossings, sidewalks, all normal (or in this style).

Camera goes about a normal day, and as they're looking around, all the car designated areas are just voids.

Bonus points if areas you're technically not supposed to walk are boxed off in like a video game style DO NOT ENTER wall. For instance, there are sections of my city with NO sidewalks, up against private residences. So your options are walk over people's yards or in the street. In this scenario, it's a void against a wall. Good luck.

I'm just thinking about walking to get to downtown, and there's no way I could do it without being somewhere I'm "not allowed". And imagining the massive voids everywhere is a bit depressing. Not that roads and parking lot deserts are any less depressing... I need to go walk in the woods for a bit...

Not just clickbait, either. Straight up lies.

They cite their own article, INCORRECTLY I might add, to say "nicotine free vapes aren't nicotine free".

I mean, if this is the scientific standard people listen to nowadays, I have some bridges that need selling. scientifically

I was momentarily spooked, but scoob is safely running away.

And shaggy is there too I guess but we all know who the real star is.

I looked my mother in the eyes after a long day once and responded to a similar statement with "No, I hated your chilli when I was a kid."

She really does make the absolute worst chilli I've ever tasted. It's so bland. There is almost no chilli powder in it, just some salt and a little bit of pre-ground pepper from a packaged salt/pepper shaker. The recipe amounts to "throw some hamburger and tomato sauce with canned beans in a pot and cook it for an hour and then add random amounts of all THREE seasonings"

It's a wonder I survived to be able to cook on my own.

My mother WORKS IN HEALTHCARE as the intermediary for the hospital network and the insurance companies.

She literally sees the Financials of people every fucking day.

And still she thinks socialized Healthcare would tank the entire US. I've shown charts, studies, anecdotal evidence out the wazoo (which is where anecdotal evidence usually comes from) But no, I can't possibly be right about this, it would mean someone who got stabbed will have to wait on 600 people with the sniffles to be seen by a doctor in 6 months. Because I guess in socialized medicine, triage doesn't exist? You can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into.

Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how "those damn unions just want your money" but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.

I'm SO SORRY you're getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.

Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.

Given how previous management has reacted to "someone" leaving these in the break room, I'm sure I've caused a few sleepless nights.

The supreme court is supposed to be based on certain numbers, when those numbers increased the SC could have been increased, but hasn't been.

Basically all it would take is for the president to decide "hey this court is supposed to be bigger, because the rules it wrote for itself say so" and sign a few things and boom. Increased court size.
