Turning Down Food Aid for Millions of Children Reflects Shocking Political Callousness (www.nytimes.com)

Fifteen states — all but one run by Republican governors — skipped the deadline to apply for a new federally-funded program that will provide $120 per child for groceries during the summer months to families of children who already qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at school.

KaiReeve,

From another article:

They include: Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, and Wyoming.

KaiReeve,

I think that the article gives Donny Boy a little too much credit. They assume that his tweet was the beginning of some long con, but it’s probably just dementia. L’Homme Orange may actually believe he’s gonna debate someone on Fox News in October.

KaiReeve,

You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.

KaiReeve,

Hm, interesting.

I can also have images when trying to figure certain things. For example, if I’m moving then I will have images of where to place boxes and furniture in the truck or in the apartment, but these images are typically combined with words like “if I put this here, then…” Or if I’m trying to remember where I put something then it’s memory combined with “after I got home I…”

In fact, the easier a problem is, the fewer words I use. But when something is really stumping me, the words are more prevalent. And angrier. More like “This doesn’t make sense! If the positive and negative are both connected then power should flow through. Maybe this f*cking thing is broken”

KaiReeve,

Yes, please, go vote. This election is a great opportunity to win a landslide victory and shift American politics further left.

KaiReeve,

Elite dangerous is tragic. If they had half the budget Star Citizen has it could be an amazing game, but instead they’re forced to practically abandon development for years at a time in order to focus on games that bring in a profit.

Still, if you have a VR headset, a HOTAS, and enough patience to learn how to fly, it’s an unmatched experience.

KaiReeve,

Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.

KaiReeve,

Oh man, the variance you can get on French toast. Sometimes it’s heavenly and sometimes it’s just so soggy and chewy and tastes like scrambled eggs.

Pancakes are the most consistent, as you said, but even the best pancakes can’t beat the average waffle imho.

KaiReeve,

For me, the solution was drugs. Half an edible and half an hour later I’m relaxed enough to continue my day.

KaiReeve,

There are 8 billion people on this planet now. Surely you can find someone other than your cousin.

It really shouldn’t need to be illegal, but I guess residents of the volunteer state require a little more incentive to find dates before the holidays, rather than during them.

KaiReeve,

It’s not because it’s “icky”, it’s because if you both have the same grandma then you only have one snickerdoodle recipe for Christmas cookies, genetically speaking.

KaiReeve,

I never called for a ban. I said maybe go out and explore the forest before climbing up the family tree. And it’s my understanding that most women understand the risk of procreating after 40 and typically avoid it.

But I’m not your daddy. You don’t need my approval to fuck your uncle’s kids.

KaiReeve,

Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so.

Pretty cool if you own a telescope and are into astronomy, but not exactly solar flare levels of hype here. Don’t wake up your SO and drag them out onto the lawn at 2am to show them this Nova.

KaiReeve,

Well America used to be just a handful of colonies along the eastern seaboard, but then there was the whole manifest destiny thing. Going west meant heading out to the new frontier. Midwesterners are people who gave up midway.

KaiReeve,

They skipped the era of country music that was “I love my dog more than my wife, but don’t ask me to choose between my dog and my truck”

KaiReeve,

Man, just existing on Tatooine is hard work.

-It’s a desert planet run by crime lords.

-The natives carry rifles and kidnap people just to torture them to death.

-There are little goblins driving tanks around the countryside stealing anything that isn’t sand.

-The sand is rough and coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere.

-Krayt Dragons

KaiReeve,

Compelling villains are written with a deeper motivation for their actions than just ‘hurt people’ or ‘be evil’ and they have a tendency to challenge the status quo in some way. Such villains become sympathetic because the current status quo is oppressive.

It must be very difficult to write a villain for a contemporary piece of media because they can very quickly become a hero of the people.

Goldeneye - the squeezing scene

Anaconda - regurgitated people

Congo - when they throw his brain

Mercury Rising - “Mother, Simon is home”

Peewee Herman - Large Marge

The truly harrowing experience I had as a kid was the Alien Encounter ride at Disney Orlando. I was 8 and it was a field trip so the peer pressure was high. Nightmares for weeks after that. I still remember it breathing on me in the pitch dark.

KaiReeve,

That’s a good point, but I’m definitely paying more taxes now than I was before. My new state has income tax and tangible property (vehicle) tax that Florida didn’t have. I looked up tax distribution for my county and the majority goes into education, so I can’t complain too much.

KaiReeve,

I recently gave up my 3% mortgage from 2013 in exchange for a 7% mortgage. It hurts, but it was worth it to get out of Florida.

In the end, my housing costs actually didn’t change that much because my home insurance rates were skyrocketing.

KaiReeve,

Prices change while you’re shopping? I foresee a lot of restocking happening if that’s the case.

If my milk increases 50¢ in the time it takes me to walk it up to the register, I’m just gonna leave that f*cker in the bagging area and walk out.

KaiReeve,
