Seriously. My cats are so relaxed because they get their food at the exact same times every day. I still hand feed the first and last meals (canned wet food), but it gives them something to look forward to during the day, even when we are at work.

They can also apparently tell time now because they get ready within five minutes of most feedings, I like to think that makes them feel more connected to their world and existence.

Teachers aren't in charge of school policies and generally aren't even decision makers past the lowest levels of discipline.

One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

Typically kid A's parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid "gets bullied all the time" while kid Bs parents aren't experienced with the policies and aren't positive that their kid didn't do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don't fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly "gets bullied all the time" is doing exactly this.

The exact opposite. Autistic children have difficulty engaging in games with collaborative imagination.

Trump hasn't said the truth about one thing his entire life.

I don't need to give Rogan a view to know that he's a piece of shit.

Substantially better. It actually has a theme and internal morality that makes sense.

Zack Snyder has a real talent for totally abandoning the actual meaning of comics in favor of capturing an aesthetic and this is no exception.

This is why the whole "marvel vs DC" thing is fucking stupid. Most people don't know or care about that difference, they just know they saw a shitty superhero movie. Better movies overall help both companies.

Lower Decks is awesome. The only thing I didn't like about Picard is that romulans and vulkans need to wear nametags if they are both going to wear federation uniforms.

Sometimes the downside to robust consumer protections is that you don't get all the stuff. Norway has a guaranteed five year warranty that likely impacts profitability of compliance for some products.

The bulk of the US economy is based on taking money from working people and then consolidating it to billionaires that run defense corporations. So "paying for" it's basically just an engine for making rich Americans more rich.
