A brick is more aerodynamic than a Wrangler. Fun fact about bricks: they're rock types but some dedicated trainers have been known to make their bricks use the Fly move without ever using the HM.

Wow the frenulum gets removed as well sometimes? What an outdated and ridiculous thing to be doing to children for absolutely no good reason. Yeah sure, some studies show it improves hygiene I've been told. To me that's about as proportionate as removing all your healthy teeth so you don't get cavities in the future...

As a guy who used to be on bumble (met my partner there) I will say that any conversation that started with 'hey how's it going' just went nowhere 100% of the time. It's so easy to ask literally anything else. We don't know each other, what's the point in asking how it's going if all you'll ever get as a reply is either "good, and you?" which doesn't break any ice and introduces a lull on the conversation 4 messages into the chat or if it's an honest "pretty shit, actually" the tone of the conversation becomes immediately weird because you don't know each other enough to pry into that.

Things you could ask:

  • cuddled any cats lately?
  • what made you smile today/this week?
  • what song have you played on repeat lately?
  • play any games lately? (depending on if they list games as their interest, most matches I got listed board games)

This way you'll immediately either find common ground or find differences between your everyday experiences that you can talk about.

As you should. That movie deserves a bigger screen and decent sound setup. Watching it on a phone is criminal.

Same thing goes for the second part. It's a roundabout way to block federal representation of certain groups of people. This is why automatically being blocked to vote because of a conviction shouldn't be a thing. As you say that would (and does) lead to a clusterfuck.

I'm not from the US but I always assumed "at-will employment" works both ways. You're telling me it doesn't?

The fact that I could believe it right up until the moment they just drove off is telling...

What happened in those years and why were they omitted? It's odd that they just leave it out with (as far as I could tell from the linked source) no explanation for that.

and less enjoyable to walk.

Which, incidentally, is great for car manufacturers!

I'd feel bad for the many people that will be economically trapped there. I can imagine even in that scenario that people will stay put simply because they can't afford to up and move to a different state. The alternative would be to live in their car with their whole family in a neighbouring state, I assume.

Imagine the housing crisis when 50% of texans try to find a home in nearby states. And I'm being very conservative with that percentage, as I can't imagine half of the population of texas would even support secession and would want to stay in their doomed state.

Funny how using planners was an integral part to my therapy to cope with adhd. The thing is that I had to be taught and learn through cognitive behavioural therapy how to do that and how to make sure it actually helps me instead of just being another stressor.

All that to say "just use a planner" is terrible advice but not because planners are the enemy of the adhd brained person. Just wanted to say that in case anybody reading this goes into therapy and dismisses the notion because it's become a bit of a meme around here.

My biggest takeaway from the article is that he's 75. Holy shit, I would've guessed 86.

Reading the title I thought they took away the lunch breaks of people working with children and thought "that would de heartless". Then it dawned on me what the title actually says...

I work in microbiology and only recently learned it's actually a fungus.

Disclaimer: I'm sure I've learned about it in the parasitology classes I've had but that was 15 years ago and since then I've been in bacteriology and sequencing.

It goes both ways though. Kyle should also know his friend wouldn't be happy about potentially losing his career over calls to murder a person for political reasons.

Disclaimer: I fucking hate Trump and wish he was killed years ago so I'm not saying I disagree with what Kyle said, I'm just disagreeing with when he chose to express it because he was there representing tenacious D which extends to jack as well. I'll also add that at this point I worry that killing Trump now would only replace him with someone actually competent to drive the fascism train over the tracks that are already firmly in place, but that's a different discussion.

The appeal of iDubbz back in the content cop days was that it was unfiltered and gritty. I never much cared for the jackass style shock factor things he did together with filthy Frank but he was the king of burning down vapid youtube one-day-wonders like ricegum.

It has a huge "you had to be there" factor nowadays though in my opinion. I have never felt compelled to go back and rewatch anything because it just doesn't seem to fit into this era of the internet.

I was thinking the same, it's not aiming at any gender as far as I can tell. I took it as a wink at the "men always want sex, no exceptions" stereotype/gender norm. But, I'm a man and all that proves is that the slogan is vague enough that each reader will have their own personal interpretation of it's exact meaning based on their own experience.

In that sense it is indeed a terrible slogan if only for the fact that it seems to elicit a negative, but highly personalised, meaning for everyone. The exact opposite of what you hope to achieve with a slogan.

Also the bacterial genus known as listeria.

It's international but every nation would obviously use their own flag. It's a practice that dates back to the times before the USA was even a nation.

The point of that meme as I took it is to illustrate the uncertainty women face when it comes to the intentions of (strange) men. The bear, an actual killer, at least is predictable. Not a criticism of your hot take btw, just sharing my thoughts on this meme.

So, nobody got paid to make that.

I'm fairly certain she didn't lose the ability to laugh. I don't think that's entirely possible. Either you weren't as funny as you think or she was awkward and nervous and that suppressed her real laughter. Or, hang on, there's a third option which is she's rotted her brain by being terminally online to the point where real experiences lose their meaning. Actually now that I think about it, that's probably what you're getting at here.

Fuck, wait a minute, am I losing my touch with reality and human connections?

how many will it save from vaccine death or, worse, autism?

The number of people that are missing the obvious satire here is making me sad.

I believe beardyman to be skilled enough to indeed make it a surprisingly respectful event. Right up until the end when he suddenly launches into fartnoise DnB, of course.

I think you're conflating commerce with capitalism. I don't think you could have communism without commerce. Even if you did away with currency and the rubber farmer is paid with grain and other foodstuffs that would still be commerce.

Right up until the house of cards topples over, the country is in shambles and people start seeking justice, of course.

Easy on the language there, Moss.

What's the point of drawing on the wallpaper with a crayon when mom is looking right at you? It gets attention.

Tiny nitpick: I think you meant 0.5 by 0.5 cm (or 5 by 5 mm).

I thought the same thing. Though it looks like the mirror is at an angle in the corner so I could imagine approaching it from the left or right means you don't see your reflection until you connect with it.

Purely from description I'm sure that they meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. No self describing scientist should ever be as smug and full of themself as he is.

The point they're making is that what you're looking at in the picture isn't NSFW. The title is deliberately misrepresenting an advert to make it seem NSFW, a classic shitposting tradition.

What? The point of star citizen is exactly that kind of emerging gameplay. I can almost guarantee the person whose spaceyacht was stolen had fun here too. Nothing was lost, the ships are insured and you can just call them back a short while after they're destroyed.

I lost some respect for jables here, the way he's seemingly throwing Kage under the bus.. But at the same time I can recognise that JB has always tried to keep up a positive persona. Not apolitical but he's never been the type to promote violence directed at specific people. Kyle did him kinda dirty by doing something to potentially harm that (assuming he was truthful when he said he was blindsided by it, and not just saying that after it blew up in the news).

Not saying Kyle is wrong and Jack is right here, though. I've always felt a little bad for Kyle that Jack put tenacious D and therefore Kyle on the sidelines when his Hollywood career took off. Kyle was rightfully quite jaded about that and I wouldn't be surprised if that's led him to doing this without considering the possible consequences for Jack.

The whole thing sucks for both of them, I guess.

Don't know about you, but preteen me wouldn't be very impressed by an adult saying something as vague as "it can be dangerous". We understand the danger and even then fall victim to it in some way or other, how can we expect a child to navigate that landscape of insecurities and marketing in any healthy way.

The answer is we can't and we're all suckers for letting predatory marketing techniques such as influencers and highly targeted ads run rampant in our daily lives.

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

You're right there. It's got fuck all to do with politics and everything to do with squeezing as much money out of their run on this planet. Also the reason they won't take certain political positions but easily do so when it might lead to more profits.

I've never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.

Last I played (couple weeks ago) insurance didn't cost anything. At some point it'll cost in game credits but right now there's no insurance premium. You can spend some credits to expidite the return timer if you can spare it.

Sounds familiar. Are you on an alienware AW3423DWF by any chance? Because if so there's a fix for having 165hz with hdr by manually setting up a custom resolution to enable it.
