Most contested divorces take more than nine months anyways, and you don’t need a divorce to separate and get into a safe space. Typically separation happens before the legal process starts, and even if you wanted to get remarried there is an intermediate ‘bifurcation’ step which can end the marriage legally before the divorce is finalized.

This is just a legal convenience for the court, but who doesn’t love a little rage bait?

Kamala should start running against/debating with Nicky Haley and just ignore Trump, sends a signal and would likely result in an actual debate on policy… Imagine that!

Has anyone seen Meliana lately? Is she deployed somewhere?

imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple

WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can’t mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can’t usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn’t really sell ads outside of the App Store.

If you want to worry about that stuff I’d suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.

The Supremes already declined to hear the case, it would be a little crazy if they changed their collective minds on that and took up the case.

Also important to cut out caffeine if you are stopping nicotine. And understand that caffeine can be a trigger, nicotine accelerate caffeine metabolism (cuts the edge) which is why the coffee-drinking cigarette smoking trope exists. Caff and Nick are the best of friends.

Another thing to consider: nicotine accelerates caffeine metabolism. Therefore, if you are feeling irritable and have recently ingested caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drink, etc.) then you can expect a craving for the antidote.

Think of all those folks who used to hang out at coffee shops, smoking cigarets. Up on the cup of coffee, down on the smoke. Just riding the roller-coaster all day.

The trick is getting the lightning into the rocks first…

Oh, it’s worse than that, it’s not garden variety “make jimmy fall in love with me” magic; it’s “call forth the daemon spirit of Fourier to transform the spectral flux into symbols for the sacred converter to interpret via the MCS scrolls into a cursed message posting to kbin…”

Immigration and Emigration are the most basic of human rights, without those how are you going to move to the place which has the rest that you want?

They don’t teach about Configuration Management in web-dev bootcamp

Anyone got a brick?

There is a huge overlap between people who would participate in Antifa and Anarchists, so you can imagine the problems getting a structured organization setup and keeping on task and purpose.

domestic terrorism as a tactic

Imagine if we had Police who don’t terrorize people based on a phone call directing them to what should be a well known address in their area.

Oh, you could make Waffle Biscuits which hold onto the gravy and egg… Oh my.

Tonight; Scotch, it’s not bad but it’s not amazing. Want; Scotch, from my club which sends bottles from an individual barrel with a number less than 200… rarest and best of liquors I’ve personal encountered.

That’s what Mountain Dew was created for!

Visions and hallucination are not uncommon in meditation practice. In Zen training we’re reminded that the mind generates thoughts and visions like the eyes generate sight, the ears sound and so on… The instruction in that context is not to cling to the vision so that you can return to object-less meditation.

If you are interested in how some of the older meditation traditions view different meditative states, search for Jhana or Dhyana, sentient beings have been doing this for a long time and there is a lot of helpful guidance out there to support your practice.

“Protest Convoy” or “Anti-Immigrant Caravan”

Underrated comment.
