Yeah, how did management get approval to requisition that off the sales floor? The big box retail store would never be allowed to do something like this. I mean, they were giving out ten cent raises a few months ago.

Unfortunately, so is basically everything else.

At least the rainbow one will continue to work, without monthly payments, until it runs out of ink.

There are limits in many places, sometimes in response to that time the artist Prince changed his name to a symbol, in some cases all special characters are banned too, so good luck to anyone with a non-English name. But outside of that? In most states you could probably name your kid Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, much worse names have happened.

I think there's been a couple of times where states have tried to stop individuals who have tried to name their kid Adolph Hitler or just some racist slogan, but I don't remember how those went, it was a genuine legal question if those names could be blocked.

Name changes, however, are a different thing - often requiring a judge to approve them, they can be rejected simply due to the misfortune of being a trans person in Texas, for example. Unless it's a name change due to marriage, those are significantly easier for some reason.

I wasn't able to find one. Which, if anyone saw my shitpost, is the real reason I installed it on my crapbook. I found out that the installer is pretty great, it just worked out of the box (at least on that computer, my gaming machine has an Nvidia graphics card...), and that GMOME isn't really for me.

Jesse "the Body" Ventura. Let's go full Senior Citizens Wrestling League with this.

COSMIC looks awesome in screenshots though.

In general, I agree with you. But specifically Isaac Newton? The only thing his dick might have been in was a coconut.

This just unlocked one of my weirdest childhood memories. I played fastpitch softball as a kid, and at one away game the school's softball field was next to a pasture. During warmups and the first several innings, we watched a guy dig a hole in the pasture. In the second inning or so, we hear a gunshot off in the distance, and the third has a truck dragging a horse corpse to the big hole. The man shoved the horse corpse into the grave, and takes three innings to bury the horse.

At the team huddle after the game, one of my teammates said an eulogy for the horse.

In the early 2000s my mother's bank got hands free headsets. She was horrified at how many of her coworkers would answer the phone in the bathroom.

My brother was assigned that in school and we had it in the RV on a camping trip, so I picked it up and read it one evening. Both the info on citrus growing, and the violence, are things I still remember. Fucked up.

Was it assigned reading? Where did you go to school? I've always wondered if that book made it into reading lists anywhere outside of Florida.

Wait, what? I can eat Jell-O again?

Oh. Wait. It's Jell-O. Meh.
