You can get around without having to jump curbs, and potholes are also avoidable.

Are you sure you’re not really asking if lying is good or bad? To me that’s an important distinction that should be addressed.

My kids used to believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. I perpetuated those lies because it was fun for everyone, and the boys enjoyed it. Now they’re older and know better, and they understand both sides. They were not hurt or upset.

But if I know my friend’s wife is cheating on him, and I don’t say anything to him, then obviously that’s bad and my friend would be devastated even more to find out I withheld such important information.

We often conflate “not telling lies” with “all lies are bad”, and that’s not always true.

Thank you!

What is the bottom right one in the second panel?

~Also, is it me or are those specific ones telling a story?~

There is no second date because YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:ii:ss'Z' is the only acceptable date.

I really needed this laugh today. Thank you!

The thing is, we’re not talking about the ____ group. We’re talking about those obnoxious Christians who are ruining it for everyone. If that doesn’t include you, nice. But that doesn’t change anything about that overly vocal minority.

I kind of wish the rapture would go ahead and happen. Us sinners would be much better off in the long run.

No one likes a bragger. 😤

I used to sleep in class. But only after doing all of my work. I had ONE teacher who agreed that as long as the work got done, and I wasn’t disturbing anybody else, she would let me sleep.

~Of course she was a first year teacher, so she probably didn’t know better.~

One can hope! In the meantime, they’re happy to teach this old dog new tricks and that’s a start.

According to my elementary /middle school-aged kids, it seems they are in fact learning the metric system in school. And this is in a red state in the south. 🤷‍♂️

~Check back in a couple of years and I can tell you what they’re doing in high school.~

Burns hotter than the fires of Mustafar. 🔥

Can confirm: my youngest son would most definitely do this.

A few key points to live by:

1. Not everything needs to be debated
2. Even if you’re right, you can still be wrong
3. Opinions are like assholes: everyone has them, and they usually stink
4. People are allowed to prioritize their own mental health above someone else’s feelings
5. Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!
