You should be pedaling with the balls of your feet. Toe drag would only be an issue in a tight turn, but you can scrape your pedal doing that if you set your pedals wrong, so your toes don’t matter much.

We need to run an exciting candidate. Their race doesn’t matter. Elections these days are about getting your base excited and making the opponent’s apathetic. AOC is exciting. While her being a minority woman will piss off far right voters, it won’t be like it was with Hilary, who had decades of media attacks conditioning the right to absolutely despise her.

Yeah that touchscreen tablet convertible machine is what has me psyched. I’m not the target for it, and already own a 16, but I could see that thing selling well. I honestly think they came out with the desktop because they just kinda felt they needed a desktop.

Here’s the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it’s worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn’t understand the magnitude of what he’s asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

To be clear “up above in my head” are the actual lyrics, but I only learned that fact a few weeks ago. I like my version better.

I feel like accepting a trans person is, in fact, conditional on their support for other trans people. Like, it doesn’t have to be their whole personality, but full-throatedly supporting the anti-trans administration is the exact opposite of supporting the trans community.

Yeah my bad, that was a little ambiguous. Very funny to accidentally blow this person’s mind though.

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep
up above in my head
All the thoughts in my head
'stead of going under

If it gets the job done, I’m willing to make that compromise.

I got it on a Pixel 7, but I uninstalled it because I’m not trying to have Google spy on me for yet another reason.

He certainly reads at a very low level, and I’ve seen analysis of his speeches explaining how we know this. I don’t know if he’s always been that bad at reading or if this is a new thing in the last 10 years or so.

Let’s see if I still remember:

Nah no worries. Not everyone can know everything.

COVID started under Trump and he tried to pretend like it wasn’t a big deal. Do you not remember him catching COVID while in office?

Edit: There’s an extremely long lag between elections and taking office in the US since the dates for both at the federal level were established in the late 1700s and we haven’t bothered to change it. Elections at the beginning of November, take office in January.

I, in fact, do not know how the sausage is cooked. It’s great!

I would assume that the post got to their feed through an intermediate instance that they are federated with, yeah?

Sounds like you need a union.

Your employer is required to pay you minimum wage if tips don’t make up the difference. If people stop tipping entirely, it actually will impact your boss.

Here I was thinking someone renamed an obscure physics thing I didn’t know about.
