  • I have a buddy with adhd and he’s also a musician.

    He forgot he had to make a music video.

    Not like he really ought to make one to market himself. He is contractually obligated to make a music video and he forgot… well he forgot until it was just barely possible if everything went smoothly and he ran himself ragged.


  • For a person to be in the position depicted the word would have had to be “sa” which I don’t believe is a word. But you can play words that aren’t words in Scrabble as long as no one challenges you. But it’s also an incredibly bad choice of a word, setting up an opponent for a triple like that.

    Cartoonist is playing scrabble with a child confirmed.






  • I understand your anger and agree that anti-vaxxers are stupid. I believe public health education should be part of the school system.

    I also agree that it’s responsible for a society to impose reasonable restrictions on members that endanger it.

    I think people do have an ethical obligation to take reasonable precautions avoid potentially exposing others to pathogens. Vaccination is an example of reasonable precaution. People have the right to bodily autonomy, do not vaccinate them against their wishes.

    I do not support the firing of workers for refusing vaccinations if they can do their job remotely. People shouldn’t have to decide between their religious beliefs and employment if their employment doesn’t bring them into contact with others. (Imo anti-vaxx is essentially a religion, this may say more about my beliefs regarding religion than about anti-vaxx sentiment).

    By all means exclude the unvaccinated from places where they can be reasonably understood to endanger the public, or others that have a similar right to be there.








  • I hear what you’re saying, but I think that as a human that thinks that democracy and human rights are like pretty important, it’s hard for me not to support the people I see opposing a system like Russia’s.

    And yeah I get that Ukraine’s democracy has problems, and Russia is probably not as bad as western media would have us believe, but I can’t believe I’m so deceived that democracies shouldn’t resist imperial aggression.

    It sucks that ordinary people get their lives destroyed, but we should blame Russia, and support Ukrainians in resisting.

    And yeah I know you didn’t say we shouldn’t, and yeah of course a lot of Ukrainians want the war to just end. I don’t know, it seems like lots still aren’t ready to give up.
