The Times also noted that the White House announcement described her as general counsel for Fix California,… A person familiar with her tenure told the Journal that she directed and served as the organization’s point of contact for outside lawyers

This is a way way bigger deal than her calling herself a lawyer casually IMO. If someone studied law then in some technicality they can say theyre a “lawyer” without claiming to be an attorney.

But the phrase “General Counsel” is a title that specifically means someone is the head in-house attorney employed by a company. There is no ambiguity. That is absolutely false representation. She was basically a receptionist or coordinator for actual attorneys

That was like 5 years ago, so I await my Harvard acceptance letter for remembering it /s

Its unfortunate that Joe Appledemus wasnt there to steal the tape of this interview

I would reconsider growing in the plastic bucket and get a large unglazed terracotta pot instead.

Unglazed terracotta absorbs excess water and then dries out as air moves over the outside of it. This is very helpful because you can safely fully saturate the soil, then the soil will also dry out fast enough to prevent any kind of root rot or the growth of bad things like mold.

Plastic will just hold water in. So the soil will not dry out well. Ultimately that means you can only under-water, or be guaranteed to oversaturate the soil, neither of which is ideal. Even having holes for drainage in the bucket will not work anywhere near as well as unglazed terracotta

Terracotta is the goat

Technically, her claiming to be an attorney while on the national stage and acting as a federal employee can be construed as a fraudulent claim made to the people of California, even if she is not falsely claiming to be a lawyer while in California (or claiming to be licensed to practice law in California)

What matters is that she is misrepresenting herself to people who are in California (among everywhere else)

Theoretically she could face charges for this from literally every bar association, especially those 42 states which participate in the Uniform Bar exam since DC is a part of that

She probably didnt realize this considering she is not a lawyer (rimshot)

That would work really well if, even after blocking their spam, I didnt have to see daily posts about their spam…

Im like one of these posts away from just blocking this com, even though I do enjoy most of the other content

I’m gonna tell you something that I once heard from a very, very smart woman named Kim.

The lady who waxes you…?

She told me, “if you don’t love what you do… then why do it?”; then she ripped the hair from my b-hole

If you backfire during a butthole waxing appointment Im sure its still much worse for the beautician

Just from a basic logic perspective using cannabis largely shouldnt help anyone fall asleep. It raises your level of dopamine, which is counterproductive if trying to sleep. Not that its impossible to sleep under that circumstance, but its not a sedative by any means.

Take, for instance, the drugs commonly prescribed to narcoleptics (and also pilots flying long missions). A class of drugs called eurogics (IIRC), like modanifil, which are not stimulants yet are capable of preventing people from feeling tired whatsoever. How do they do this? They exponentially raise the level of dopamine in the body.

Now, because they aren’t stimulating the CNS it is still possible to go to sleep fairly easily even while on them. It just makes it impossible for you to feel the sensation of tiredness by elevating dopamine levels. Insomniacs dont have issues feeling tired, in fact we can be tired quite often and still be unable to sleep. But smoking weed surely isnt going to help if the elevated dopamine levels make you feel like you arent tired on top of the insomnia that is already keeping you awake

The best thing for insomnia is something that is a genuine sedative, as in something which depresses the CNS and ultimately makes you feel tired. As much as Benadryl is bad for you to take regularly, Im not afraid to take a few in a pinch if I am having a severe bout of insomnia. Shit will put you out

Shoutout to the folks at GPI for emphasizing “screams of pain” as a point of advertisement

I dont think it can simply be whether or not youre likely to be in a literal warzone if Haiti and the US are like 9 spots apart. It must be odds of being a victim of violence in general. Haiti has a lot of gang violence and basically no effective policing. The US has policing that may ultimately result in you being a victim of violence, plus more guns per capita than anywhere else in the world. I can see those things balancing out to being close on the list, but in the US you would not be likely to end up “in a warzone”. Youd be likely to get killed in other ways though

Old people come from a time where everything was a thing. Everybody watched the same exact shit on TV. Everyone saw the same movies. If anything was anything it was because everyone knew about it. Or if they didnt know about it, someone they knew knew about it

Old people cannot comprehend a world in which media is a trove of infinite niche and hardly anyone knows about the exact same set of 12 things that happened this week

So they see a random meme and wonder why anyone would know it exists without being a thing they missed somehow

When the head breaks off, it seems it would be most appropriate to make it a bobble-head ijs
