Our school playground didn’t have a rubber ground. Or mulch. Or wood chips. No. We had gravel. Like little rocks gravel. And a swing set. A big one. Recess for us was jumping as far as we could into gravel.

We also had wooden monkey bars that gave you splinters. We tried to skip bars, and if we were lucky, land on the gravel. If we weren’t lucky, we would fall into a hornet’s nest. Hornets loved those old wooden playgrounds.

But perhaps the greatest piece of school yard entertainment was the steel merry go round. We’d have one of us try to hang off of it horizontally with 3 or 4 of us sping it. Lose your grip and fall off? Where would you land? You guessed it. Face first into the gravel.

That thing would get hot enough in the summer to fry an egg, but as much as we enjoyed eating our breakfast that way, we lost it before the end of 8th grade. A kid from a neighboring school crawled under theirs and tried to grab the axel while it was turning. It ripped his hand clean off. But still, those were the days.

Listen yes. Hear not always

I keep a spare change of clothes in my office for exactly this reason

Agnostic atheist. Agnostic from the standpoint that the the existence of god is no more knowable than the number of angels who can sit on the tip of a needle. Atheist from the standpoint that theism ain’t it

Idk if is deliberate or just a consequence, but I’m very confused by the duplicit meaning of antisemetic (having anamosity toward jews or being anti israeli policy)

It depends. Some people say I’m sorry as a way to recognize their own interactions with the world. Knock something over and you might say shit. She might say sorry. Both roughly mean the same thing. You didn’t like that you knocked it over. The difference is anger is internal or singularly objective. I’m pissed at myself or the object. Sorry is environmental. I’m sorry to my apartment or to someone else who deals with the consequences.

The real test is if she says sorry and you tell her she only needs to be sorry if she did it on purpose. Particularly if in her mind the appology is actually meant for you. If she gets pissed off the implication is you don’t accept her apology and you are blaming her for it or doubting her sincerity. If that’s the case or if she laughs it off she’s well adjusted and is just someone who does that. If she’s confused apologizing is more a matter of being self concious. The truth is typically in the middle.

Waiting doesn’t take effort. Waiting patiently does.

I’ll ‘walk heavy’ in stores or stairwells whenever there is a blind corner

This is the editor wars equivalent of taking your shirt off and yelling “come at me bro!”

I took this as how do you install them so you can close and lock the doors at all. There are so many where you have to push the walls apart or lift the door with your foot before you can lock it

‘Departments’ such as the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, the State Department etc. are under the umbrella of the Executive Branch. Each Department has a Secretary. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Urban Development etc. The Secretaries act as liasons for their respective department and report directly to the Chief Executive (president). Given the president is Chief Executive he can give orders to the Departments which “they have to follow” provided they are not illegal or are beyond the department’s budget. These issues, in principle, would be handled by the Judicial and Legislative branches respectively.

All that said, since the president is “in charge” of the Departments he can order them to do whatever he wants in addition. Typically, the president “tells” the Departments what he “wants” done and they will address that issue. An Executive Order is more forceful.

From a constitutional perspective, the problem with Executive Orders and Departments is that they aren’t addressed at all. Constitution establishes the existance of the branches of goverment and lays out general rules, but it doesn’t have anything to say about the structure of the executive branch or even how many judges are on the Supreme Court.

The only way executive orders can be addressed is by law. The legislative branch would need to write amd pass it with 2/3 majority vote to bypass a certain presidential veto.

Did you move on though?

Interesting. I’ll try it out!

“Hoisted by your own petard” is from Hamlet. Equivalent to “It blew up in your own face” but with more of a cause of hippocracy
