I believe "heads of lettuce" is becoming the standard for political gaffes.

Jack-in-the-Box is the only place that has caused me to throw out a milkshake because it was so bad. A milkshake. Those are, what, two ingredients? Somehow they managed to fuck it up so bad, it came out nasty. I wouldn't eat there again if it was free.

The term is "intersectionality". Conservatives really hated the term before they went all popeyed over "woke".

I haven't looked at the data, but I'm guessing the most eco-anxious demographics are also probably the ones that already have the lowest birth rate.

The only thing the flag code says about the design of the flag itself is below. Everything else is about how the flag should be treated, used, and displayed:

"§1. Flag; stripes and stars on

The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be fifty stars representing the fifty states, white in a blue field

§2. Same; additional stars

On the admission of a new State into the Union one star shall be added to the union of the flag; and such addition shall take effect on the fourth day of July then next succeeding such admission"

The case involved a grain buyer sending out a mass text to drum up clients and a farmer agreeing to sell 86 tons of flax for around $13 per bushel. The buyer texted a contract agreement to the farmer and asked for the farmer to “confirm” receiving the contract. He issued a thumb’s up emoji as receipt of the document, but backed out of the deal after flax prices increased.

The buyer sued the farmer, arguing that the thumb’s up represented more than just receipt of the contract. It represented an agreement to the conditions of the contract, and a judge agreed, ordering the farmer to cough up nearly $62,000, likely causing a string of puke emojis.

What a bunch of horseshit. I can see a thumbs-up emoji being used as an explicit sign of confirmation, but even in the context, the farmer never indicated any willingness to sign the contract. Receiving a contract and signing a contract are two entirely different things.

I mean, teeechnically he's still right. It doesn't ban water breaks, it bans mandating water breaks. Companies are still free to give people breaks, but not because they're legally required to. All that being said... for all intents and purposes, it's a water break ban.

That's, uh... that's a good point you got there. I still get confused by the whole federation thing lol

I will support the decision of our gracious host, whose time and money has made this instance possible.

I mean... he's a developer, not a deity. I appreciate that this is a space he made, and he can do what he wants. But I'm also free to leave if he decides to federate with a Zuckerberg product.
