i signed a contract with the admins so the mods could sexually harass me politely, and that makes it extra legal. no i’m not referring to any specific communities or instances.

  • honestly you changed my mind on it. I was leaning toward a 15 member court but a 31-35 member court would (1) get so fucking much done and (2) allow each president to seat enough justices that they felt they made a sizable historical dent on the court that hopefully they wouldn’t try to ratfuck it so much (and my pony will breath fire). we’ve been talking (at least amongst my legal circles) about massively expanding the appellate courts for years, why are we not talking the same about the supreme courts?

    part of the problem is ruling on nationwide edicts. they’d need to seat the entire damn court en banc and vote en banc (latin legal term. it means the whole damn group of judges). i’m not sure how to make it seem fair otherwise. which slows the court back down to its current pace.





  • Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their… Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don’t want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can’t shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.


  • eeeee! thank you for the link! i have too much good stuff to read now, in part thanks to you and @TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world (thank you both so much! i might disappear for a week into books but i promise to pop in for air). If i didn’t have a good choosing algorithm by now i’d be in analysis paralysis (for relatively trivial decisions: if you have multiple equally good options, flip a coin. use chwazi. roll a die. whatever works for that number. if, while doing the random number generator you find yourself hoping for a specific option, you know what you really want. if not, go with the random choice. you’re equally happy with all of them so what do you care if you randomly go with number eight? go with number eight.) One of the best problems to have (too many good choices).



  • truth, you just really need to get a bum hose with adjustable pressure. get it on low (so it doesn’t have splashback) and just erode it in the middle if it’s that long. or just increase the flow on the bum hose a little (still no splashback) and give the flush a little extra push.

    also, on the plus you get a (cold water) bidet.

    i really recommend going all the way to a warm water washlet though. icy cheeks in the middle of the night at midwinter (like hell I’m smearing shit between my cheeks after a midnight loaf pinch) is a special kind of hell. a warm pucker on that night, well, let’s just say i’m getting dopamines just thinking about it.





  • i mean, i’m not sure whether i’m happy or sad about this. did the desk break their fall or did they sit on it and it break? like if they fell and the door gave way, that might have actually been a good thing. theoretically. if they were a spherical cow. i’m trying to remember physics class.

    my desk is a DIY special. got a set of folding table legs as the stability and a (pre-covid, pre-tradewar cost $200 probably like $500 now) solid butcher block for the desk top, went thrift shopping for cheap filing cabinets the right size to fit unders so i have some drawers, and i got some old pretty wood desk organizers for free from a law firm i knew that was redecorating (i just had to wait a couple years. until then it was ugly wire baskets). if i were to bounce off it like that i’d break my spine worse and my desk would laugh at me.
