Small scale: The lack of constant mean pranks. You can't tell me that shitbag kids aren't polyjuicing everyone into dogs and donkeys 20 times a day, and thats the PG version. Ain't no way dudes aren't making their dicks 30 feet long for fun.

Large Scale: Wizarding culture is tremendously trite, shallow, and terrible. They are the worst of humanity with super powers, all because of ...genetics? It's still super privledge eugenics at the end of the day, and Voldemort is just making daylight decisions about everything that the non-DeathEaters blithly comply with every single day.

They exist, you just can't talk about them existing.

My favorite is "inclusive" which is a preposition.

How many legal filings with "inclusive of _____" are there? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? All forbidden

Strategy isn't their strong point.

Some of this is also about less complicated ways to use patents that can also be applied to things like prosthetic limbs.

Also, it provides a control case with how well-studied human anatomy is. In terms of basic mechanical motion, there's a clear baseline goal.

I remember seeing early versions of the synthetic muscle fibers years ago, but as far as ways to practically apply them and test, and refine them as control technology improves with machine learning. 10-15 years ago, this wasn't really possible.

That's 100% what this is. Once they get an unconditional pardon, it gives them free reign to literally murder anyone. Not in self defense, but proactively.

Lol, poor Anon thinks a Silent Generation meetcute in a cartoon is Boomers IRL.

Awwww....

True, I think (hope) OP meant that a poor jobs report portends a deep recession.

US GDP for all of 2024 is positive, but consumer sentiment isn't getting any better any time soon. Add in talk of a shutdown in March, and the market might take this and the weekly on-again-off-again tariff BS as uncertainty best avoided and get all bearish. Meaning more job losses in the private sector, etc.

I'm personally ready to hunker down for a full on 2008-style recession.

To be fair, giant African land snails are about this size IRL.

Maybe it's a combo of a few shells traded around plus the garden pest meme to make very snail seem like a murderous asshat.

These people only tell jokes that are of the "punching down" variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it's always "bro, it was a prank" to dodge ownership of it.

That's how the party of personal responsibility works.

 

I'm looking to finally get my spouse and I both onto a non-G email service with a custom domain. Having storage and calendars to replace Drive is the deal-maker with the spouse.

I've been using Proton as my alt email for years, but all the new crypto bells and whistles just seems sus from a business management perspective. I get it, they're Swiss, but still.

But looking at Mailbox.org, their 2FA situation seems bonkers. That's the dealbreaker for me.

All I really need is IMAP, webmail, and actual security without feeling like I'm going to be doing this all again in 5 years to get out from under another crypto bro.
