I'm going to guess it's that babies cry because they have a need and you shouldn't ignore that, especially at 6 weeks old

Yes, otherwise they'd call them intentions lol

No one's like "I'm going to ram into this giant concrete barrier now," they do it accidentally

Edit: I don't understand why this is so unpopular

It also shows that the layout of these calming devices was poorly designed. There are lots of ways to calm traffic without causing continual accidents

You say "even the headlines from the NYT" like the NYT is representative of the whole of the US news media, which it is not. The NYT has been skewing conservative for some time now

Get yourself some thornless blackberries, there are few thorns that will cause more damage to your body.

Maybe it's just too horrifying for him to realize that the ~~Western~~ world doesn't care about genocides and hasn't for decades.

But how else are they going to complete their digital transformation and leverage their industry-leading customer volume to deliver high-quality consumer data and drive growth for shareholders? Why don't you care about the shareholders?!

I've been paying $70/mo for gigabit fiber for like 6 years now. It's been the exact same price every month that entire time. I had to reach out to the Google Fiber people maybe once for a technical issue, and it was resolved quickly with a prorated discount for my downtime.

I just can't stress enough what a breath of fresh air this has been vs Time Warner/Spectrum and then later AT&T I've had at this same address. How many times did I have to call to wait on hold to tell them my service was broken, or threaten to cancel my service so they would lower my rate back down to what it was before they tried to jack it up again? How many technicians did I have to have come to my house for stupid bullshit? Also, the other two ran bare cable barely buried from the junction box to my house, where Google installed a fucking conduit in the ground that can easily be reused.

Google is the best ISP by a hundred miles, imo. Just use a VPN.

Do you ever hit a meme that causes you to realize you've been scrolling too long and ask yourself what the hell you're doing with your life?

In Texas we have a bunch of regional fast food chains that have popped up that are infinitely better quality food for basically the same price. Why would I ever go to McDonalds?
