We're back to suit color news. America is healing.

That's incredible, what a catch, I dunno how I could sleep after landing that monster.

What a beautiful fish.

I think there's a big difference in the way China approaches school work for children that makes this work differently. Kids are in school for far longer in China, (I've heard different numbers, but something like 10- 12 hrs a day) so restricting access to games to a few hours a day is really negligible considering how much free time they have. It mostly ensures they aren't playing games during classes or missing sleep to play games.

I don't think such an approach would work in America, partially because the education isn't as rigorous.

I also don't think the government should act as a replacement for proper parenting. I think it's your duty as a parent to monitor your children's activities and see if they're healthy, for games and anything else, really.

Ada always demonstrates such incredible skill as an admin it's like she's taken classes. It blows my mind consistently.

You kick ass Ada. Thanks for all you do.

Yeah, but I didn't remember it being specific about the injury. Also it's fun to say "Worf kicked a kid in half"

They're all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.

In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.

They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.

Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit

I feel like it's probably not very convincing to be told "shut up or you'll lose your job" as the jobs around you are being cut left and right.

Don't be subtle. Be direct and frank. "Dad, I don't want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn't have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I'm not home." Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.

Fishing is a great way to get out, explore your local waterways and learn about the biodiversity they hold. It's simple enough to do successfully without much study, but more learning can be beneficial and fun. It's a cheap and easy way to spend the day outdoors and soak up some sun while getting fresh air and familiarizing yourself with the lands around you.

My boyfriend's goyishe family won't appreciate how good it is nor what a tzimmes it is to make the dang thing, but it'll pair nicely with some brie.

The audible report of your pee smashing into the free-floating thin stainless steel is desirable in the way that it informs others you are sink pissing. The ceramic bowl preference shown in this community is a sign of cowardice and shame in one's true self.

It has the added benefit of scaring away predators and attracting sexual partners.

Piss proud. Piss loud.

I got an idea to some candy coated metals and I'm looking to see if I can find a good recommendation on a super fine black gloss primer in a rattle can.

I got this can of Behr Premium from Home Depot, but I think the paint is a tad thick and I was hoping for a glossier finish.

Any y'all got any recommendations? I was also considering trying an automotive primer because I figured they'd be glossier.
