And so it begins, the clone wars has

I agree with you but in defense of the image in front of us, they still show atoms in the rest of the photo. I take that as the representation of “reality” and the commentary as being more about perception and not some alternate reality.

I gotta add to this the app Brightintosh. It kicks up the screen brightness to the actual max brightness of the screen so a good 2x brighter. Major dif using in bright environments, less screen life and color accuracy theoretically

Sounds like rural, small town factory to me. Guy may just be barely making by

This episode was what I was hoping for out of this show. The first episode was such whiplash that I’m glad it is settling down. This episode we got a cool character study that had actual impact. Cool lore that made sense. Characters had long one on one conversations. Parallel storytelling with the debate. Maybe even the hint of a natural progressing gay romance? All storylines mattered. Good job Modern Trek!

I agree. I think Jaden spoke about it pretty well that it’s about understanding their language and culture. Earning a hunt vs being gifted it.

Local spoke about their need to do this and use code names to avoid being followed and harassed by ICE after attending a protest. Probably shouldn’t have done that on a televised city council meeting. But also, Americans have a right to free speech and organized protest. Dark times.

Same experience with shokz

I had a pair of Shocks and some static electricity killed the proprietary charge port.

There are SO ✖️MANY bananas🍌, but most people have only eaten the ☕️🎩Cavendish. Awhile back, I got a box of assorted 🙋🏻‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️💁🏿‍♂️bananas🍌 from a 🧑‍🌾🐓🐷farm that specializes🚜 in growing unusual fruit. I ate about twenty🧑‍🌾😮‍💨 pounds of 🍌bananas in three weeks. So many fucking 🤾🏼‍♂️🍌🅱️nanners spread across my entire kitchen countertop for weeks, ripening in stages.🧑🏻‍🌾🧑🏽‍🌾🧑🏾‍🌾🧑🏿‍🌾

My life has been a lie😢. Yours too.🪞 🇺🇸We’ve all been hoodwinked. 💇‍♀️😉We are getting fucked🍆🍌, and 🙅‍♂️not in the good way🙅‍♀️, because 🤢Cavendish is a straight up⬆️🗑️ garbage💩 fruit. There are tiny tart toothsome 🇹🇭Thai 🍌bananas, chunky Cuban🎅🏻🚬🍌, alluring Apple 🍎🍌, beauteous burro💋💄🫏🍌, pleasurably plump Pisang 🥺, orally🥹 outstanding orinoco🍌, mouth👄watering💦 Mysore😫🍌, and the gustatorily🫃🍌 magnificent Gros 🤮 Michel, the OG mass production 🅱️naner, which was replaced by 🤢Cavendish in a mycological midlife🧗🏻🚵🏻🤹‍♂️ crisis🚑 (I’m drunk and if I was a 🦕dinosaur🦖, I’d be a tiny tenacious 🐙thesaurus 📚tenuisi). Plus more. So 🍌many 🍌more. Fucking. Bananas.🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊🍌

They all taste👅 like 🍌bananas, but each is a 👼little

✝️☪️✡️🕉️🔯🕎different, some more than others, but they all had more taste👅 that those 🤢Cavendish🇬🇧💂‍♂️ fuckers! So get 🍌ucked Chiquita, Dole, and Del🧑🏽‍🍼 Monte. My banana🍌 bread🍞 sucks 🤤 because of y’all.🔚

Maybe Avatar was onto something….

Trump’s campaign and election momentum was in full swing! 🤮

Goddamn that’s so fucking cool

Yeah, idk. 2005 internet sucked in a lot of ways too. Nostalgia doing a lot of work here

Minnesota, here. New parent. Can confirm! The full on DNA test is optional. Parents can make informed decisions and prepare for new lifestyles of supporting a kid that’s differently abled.

To be honest, I haven’t seen anyone else mention the real reason: America allowed private companies to buy and own the lands under the rails in the 1800s in order to deal with the massive distances across the US to connect the West and East. 150 years later and just a few companies own almost all the track and rail across America. Almost all private, not public land. Public citizens and communities have very little control over the railways going through their communities. These companies lobby against and make it difficult to introduce new, public rail lines for a multitude of reasons. This is one of very many examples of how corporations abuse law, monopolistic practices, and media to lessen the power of American citizens.

As awful as yours and other may have experienced, I have trust that society and my own opinions of ADHD have progressed. I’m sorry for your experience and what you went through. I also was diagnosed in adulthood but I had little to no issues growing up. The education system isn’t nearly as regimented or abusive as it was back then. Paddling and hurting children physically doesn’t happen at public schools anymore. I grew up in the late 90s and early 00s and it was certainly a topic for little kids to talk about who or who didn’t have ADHD and how their medicine affected them. Maybe is still wasn’t fair and some parents or teachers mishandled it but at least it was an open conversation for most. The support system and way I will parent my child will come from a place of support and understanding. There are many more studies and books, etc to help now. I try and hope for future or else I would just crumble into lazily making the planet worse through apathy.
