I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

I actually love that we have resourses like this.

My gripe is that they miss the mark by targeting new dads. The reason dad jokes are great is they are the first jokes your kid understands. So I would think dads of 4 to 9 year-olds would be a better target.

The high you feel when your kid cracks up at some offhand dumb joke can’t be bottled.

But the reason I love this as a resourse is that explaining jokes to a curious child develops connections in their head in a way that only a parenting rolemodel can really do. So even if it’s not laugh-out-loud funny to explain a joke, if your child tells you that they do not get a joke, first and foremost realize that is a vunerable admission. Buddies will rag on you for not getting it. Parents see a gap in their kids’ world experience that they can fill.

How else would you know it was doing anything?

Who says the kid didn’t scavenge for it?

I bet he gets fed frozen pizza. Lazy-ass guardians. You need to cook that shit.

Fun fact: 200-foot radio towers are free. You can take them home. I have 257 200-foot radio towers.

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

But which consumes more energy? Like really. I’m betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

How can you enjoy your tea without a window?

“Daddy, why do people have to eat?”

[long pull from cig] “Plants… They came here. Now we are enslaved to eat them. It is their way.”

Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It’s a really clever design.

That’s fucked.

“We need some one to play Rosa Parks.”

“Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic.”

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.

So I’ve live a few places around the US (all east of the Missisip. So it’s not like a good survey), but the place that is worst for this has been southern Louisiana (north shore). Everywhere kinda sucks, but it’s anarchy there.

Why are you the judge of what conditions make it acceptable?

This is just more propaganda from the People’s Front of Judea.

One is allowed to call a joke gross regardless of the definition of a joke.

I’m happy to hang out in the “no, you won’t” camp with. But the support the idea of a Texit lately is markedly ramped up. (The idea was never without support.) Part of me kinda suspects that some of the “think tank” minds are worried about losing Texas in the general mostly due to the overturning Roe still hanging over their heads.

If Texas is purple while CA is solid blue, then everyone will hate the Electoral College. The “think tank” conservatives can’t have that.

So I agree, secession is unlikely, but IMO that’s because it isn’t a ballot initiative like Brexit. Not because the people saying it aren’t serious.

I’m a bit worried that the plan for the secessionists is to do something so spectacular (literally) as to try to cause there to be good reason to “pause to election”.

Just so then, they can prove Biden to be a dictator, and actually have an argument. Pausing an election would be truly unsettling.

So if there is a crisis about Electoral College stating of states close to November, that’s a powder-keg situation.

I’m honestly not claiming we need to avoid this kind of crisis. Just saying be careful what you wish for.

Ever used photoshop with an undo history? It’s particularly nice for text based commands.
