Need everyone to understand that:
1) Supreme Court draft opinions do not leak. Ever. It is unknown and unprecedented. It just does not happen.
2) Supreme Court clerks are generally right-out-of-law-school graduates and if whoever did this gets caught they will never be allowed to practice law. No state bar is ever going to take them. Their legal career is done for. This person risked their entire future.
I hope the court can’t prove anything. May we never know their name.
May we never know their name.
Fandom friendships are wanting to throw a dinner party and invite people who live on three different continents in a half-dozen time zones.
I’m just saying that every time Seven of Nine marries a dude, the timeline is so terrible that it has to be erased.
I’ve figured out that one way to stump older people that complain about the current generation is to have an inflation calculator app on your phone.
Aunt: When we got our first apartment it was 300 bucks a month why can’t you-
Me: In what year?
Aunt: What?
Me: What year did you get your first apartment?
Aunt: 1973?
Me: Hmmm. Looks like that would be $1755 in 2021 money.
Aunt: *seems to go through seven emotions at once*
Aunt: Oh.
Uncle: Why should minimum wage-
Me: What year did you start college?
Uncle: 1968?
Me: So if you scale up $1.60 to 2021 dollars that would be $11.94 and the current federal minimum wage is $7.25
Uncle: Bu-
Me: And it seems like from a quick google search the median rent in 1970 was $108 and today that would be $722 but this same chart tells me that the actual median rent in 2020 was $1,100.
Uncle: *confused silence*
I HAVE DONE THIS AND IT WORKS
conservative boomers logic all hinges on the fact that the math they learned in college is about what math we currently teach 12 year olds and theyve proceeded to use none of it for 30 years “when i bought my first house it was only 40K adjusted for inflation” “thats nice, a comparable house today costs 550K”
even leftish boomers like my mother sometimes do not realise that her father made the equivalent of $300/hr doing manual labour on a tugboat
I have freelance work transcribing interviews for documentaries sometimes, and these guys who were pro athletes in the 60s will say stuff like, "my contract was only seven thousand dollars a year, so we were understandably broke, even with me getting off-season work back home" and then I pull out the inflation calculator and find that was equivalent to more than twice what I'm making now, and I start to think that maybe the problem was that these guys were keeping apartments in the cities they played for and buying houses back home and traveling across half the country between them frequently.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who picked up on their tension. 🥰

Want to know why I read fanfiction? Go watch season 2 of #picard and try not to throw an inanimate object at your screen.
This is the worst kind of queer baiting I have ever seen.

Last year I became someone's secret Santa, but I never sent a gift... I don't want to keep hiding this anymore. (It's a silly little story but I love the sweet part.)
Ugh. This hurts my heart so good <3 <3
