For what it's worth, if i ever find myself elderly with end stage cancer, I would consider it a kindness to be able to go out painlessly and relatively quickly.
smdh.... OP missed the most damning ones:
-WANTS TO CRIMINALIZE KICKING PUPPIES
-DRIVES HER GRANDMOTHER TO BINGO ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS
Yeah, if I were in her shoes, it would be impossible not to imagine my dad chuckling to himself as he slipped his mortal bonds, smug with satisfaction at having pulled the longest, pettiest prank possible on your kid. That piece of paper would be a treasure.
Something hot in an open bowl sounds like the worst food to eat in a shower TBH.
I'd go with something cold in a tube, like an ice pop. Or maybe a beer in one of those fancy insulated tumblers with a closeable lid.
God... I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.
I've always thought it would be an interesting experiment for all (or most) proposed laws to be written as though they were scientific experiments, complete with:
- Hypothesis (what is the law intended to accomplish?),
- Metrics (how will effectiveness be measured),
- Effectiveness period (when will these effects be realized?)
- Success cnriteria (what is the minimum effect to consider the law effective?)
- Side effects (what might go wrong, and how will that be evaluated?)
There's probably lots that does not cover, but the main idea is that any new law comes with quantitative ways to determine its effectiveness against its stated goals. Any law that does not meet those goals in the predefined time period is scrapped.
But again, as Zeppo said, without an informed and interested electorate, it's all pretty much moot.
Isn't that just kind of... how names are supposed to work?
"Backordered" or "On backorder" are the normal usages as an adjective.
But "In backorder" would also be perfectly understandable.
On a scale from "a lot" to "all of them", how many marijuanas did you inject before you typed this out? 😂
Two sides of the same coin, honestly.
Anti-"woke" means refusing to acknowledge the presence of systematic injustice.
"Law & Order" is the dogwhistle for cranking up the tangible effects of systematic injustice.
RTFA. There are a whole list of exceptions, and appliance bulbs are the first bullet point.

I used to work with a Ukranian coworker, who had so little of an accent that I often forgot he was not a native English speaker.
One time during a meeting, I mentioned "there's more than one way to skin a cat" and I can still picture the horrified look on his face when he processed what I just said.
In all fairness, it's a pretty morbid expression!
