I know that cat's just joking, but I really did have to spreadsheet my cats' food amounts based on calories per brand so I wasn't overfeeding them when I bought different food.

There is definitely some problem solving involved that could probably be mapped to logic circuits (lots of For and While loops). Good excuse to play that game though!

I liked the whole movie, but honestly my favorite part was the reveal at the beginning for why they were waiting for that one judge.

I read an article years ago that explained why so many people get "religious" feelings at big revival-type events at Six Flags, Carowinds, etc, even if they're not particularly devout.

There's a thing called respiratory alkalosis (essentially hyperventilation) which makes you light-headed and confused. At it's really easy to trigger by making people stand up quickly, sing really hard, sit back down, stand up and cheer, etc.

I'm terrible at repairs, but I do get that same sense of accomplishment from lawn work. I'm initially annoyed if I have to do a big project like pruning bushing and clearing shit out. But when it's over there is a very zen, "I did that and it was good" feeling.

lied about almost literally every achievement in his life – university, multiple years of work experience, etc

I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise, but it's funny how common it is for these people to also be complete liars about what they've accomplished in life.

Is it too much to ask to be an honest racist nowadays? Don't make me argue with you about racism and lying. That's just annoying.

Some of them don't even know how amendments work. They think the 2nd amendment was passed down by God on stone tablets.

I've argued with a person that didn't know amendments could change other amendments. Nor did he know how amendments were voted on. But he swore the amendments were perfect when written and couldn't possibly be changed.

And the window of correct opinion keeps getting narrower. Any time there's a chance to gatekeep morality, someone out there wants to prove they're the most .

On any of the popular subs, no one's going to read your comment in good faith. They'll see what they wanted you to say and just reply to that.

As some of the article's comments say, the answer is probably the simplest: IBM.

IBM said they'd let Red Hat operate independently, but it was a matter of time before some of that corporate "culture" (aka stock-driven decisions) started showing through.

Hopefully the employees themselves aren't slowly sinking into the IBM workload. I think a lot of them intentionally left IBM for Red Hat specifically because of the ideological difference.

Jamb bands

The Doors are the only jamb band I can think of.

The one bright side of this article is that it's coming from The New Republic, which is traditionally more conservative. And the author is calling out how sad this plan is.

edit: I'm wrong? This never happens! see reply below.
