The pic is what obviously sticks in one's mind; thanks for the reminder that there was more.
Like I said, he DID need to go, it's just frustrating that so many who deserve so much worse got away with it all (so far).
We need accountability to be able to trust The System at all.

The only times I see Tom in my timeline or when everyone is dunking on him or when Kai retweets him earnestly.
It's not like Tom is always wrong but it's often enough that it's time I finally muted him.

It's not the he didn't deserve it, it's that dozens of others deserved it much more and got away with it.

For what it's worth, these days the majority of the posts & replies I see have tons of profanity in them, and they don't get hidden. The only ones that do are the ones that seem to direct it at someone.

I don't want to have to Google "age of consent USA map" like a libertarian 😑
I seem to recall it's 16 many places (like here in PA), BUT some places let a 14yo get married with parental permission.

/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

I'd hate to get wiped out by AI or nano it's or w/e because we don't know if there's any other intelligent life out there.
If we got wiped out by aliens, it'd be comforting because at least they're an advanced intelligence. Boldly Go, murderous aliens.

That makes sense, I was wondering why he wouldn't just use a glass eye. The patch is super noticable which would lead to people asking what happened, and I'd think he'd hate to be reminded of it.

Re:Mahna Mahna, we had banana bread in the house last week and every time someone mentioned it, someone chimed in with "Do dooo, de do do."

Another one is Thrift Shop.

Growing up in that era makes one aware of file sizes (both for storage and d/l time). I don't think most younger people notice the difference between 20 MB and 2 GB.

I was in my early *40s* before this stopped being an issue for me.
Something deep in my subconscious said it was Wrong to be peeing near someone (or maybe let anyone hear it?).
Maybe in my middle-age my brain said IDGAF anymore.

Dipping your toes in the water is a time-tested method for getting used to both good and bad things. Definitely use it for good but yeah, it's important to keep the above in mind. It's a very (uniquely?) Human thing to be able to imagine Future You - use it.

Seriously though, why do I need hackproof passwords on accounts that really don't matter?
I shouldn't need "C0mpl1catedPassw0rd#!99" to guard the rewards points on my froyo app.
