I think the most charming thing about Warhammer 40k is, at its heart, the lore feels like two five-year-olds constantly trying to one-up one another.
"MY guy is RAMBO and SHOOTS your guy!"
"Nuh-UH cuz my guy is made of DIAMONDS and EATS the bullet!"
"The bullet EXPLODES!"
"No cuz his tummy is ACID"

Okay, but she has to play by cookout rules. She can bring ice. She's not even up to paper plate duty, because she'd pick nasty, cheap plates, or styrofoam. Not even napkins. She spends a few years bringing ice and being properly socialized because her parents failed her mightily? We can talk tent.

If you have ADHD & you have a whirl-windy day where you magically get things done, I highly suggest doing a “reverse to-do list”.
Write down everything you did like it’s a to-do list you need to do, then give yourself the satisfaction of crossing it off!

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy
bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.
