I don’t remember that Converse tagline … but back then I was wearing Sears Toughskins instead of Levis, that should make it clear how fashionable I was. “Limousines for the Feet” is a pretty laughable slogan, though, since chucks are about the least comfortable shoes in the history of humanity - even Ötzi’s fucking bird’s nest shoes were probably more comfortable.

FYI the original Converse shoes came out in 1917. Now get off my lawn.

I would get in the habit of carrying cases of bottled water past lines of voters and tripping.

the way the cops treated unarmed BLM protestors vs. the way they treated armed Proud Boys counter-protests

Uh, there might be another reason for that difference. In fact that difference might explain why the Proud Boys felt comfortable packing.

here in Florida when you hand out food, the cops use the excuse of “food safety” to shut you down or even fine and arrest you

When I went to UF the local Hare Krishna temple used to set up on the quad and serve food (for a nominal $1 a plate but you didn’t have to pay). I wonder if they’re still able to do that.

should we be using APIs?

Nah, it’s a fad.

I’m a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.
