Damn, I didn't know people couldn't financially afford installing Linux.

Businesses don't usually just completely overrun entire neighborhoods, and "opening" doesn't mean "do whatever the fuck you want". You can still specify that you don't want night clubs or auto shops in a specific place.

Mixed zoning is the norm in Europe, and it sure as fuck doesn't ruin any neighborhoods, quite the opposite in fact.

I, too, hate being subject to the feline overlords.

I only knew about the Japanese "thin mattress on the floor" version.

Fun fact: Reddit's main sub for Questionable Content is actually a sub for hating on Questionable Content.

You know what I really like? Badly-made automated translations from a language that I've been learning for 25 years.

For real though, I had to set my browser's language to English so sites like YouTube stop mangling the video titles, like what's even the point of translating the titles when their content isn't translated anyway?

... did you just straight-up post a reddit comment?

It's been like that for a while. "No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!" (aka Watamote) has been going since 2013, and I guarantee there's earlier examples.

Nike is not a designer brand, and something like "creasing" is only an issue if you're a sneakerhead.

I tought a water molecule is 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen? Or does it not count as an atom anymore when it's part of a molecule?

That's just another mess that needs to be cleaned up. Just swallow, it's erotic, practical and it's not like it's poisonouns or anything like that.

I mean, if they're not actually the owner of the business, why not? Most people's bosses are just a cog in the machine, too.

The majority of self-checkouts I've tried were such a clusterfuck of bad UI design, and it's made worse by the requirement to have a human check your ID when you're buying alcohol etc., which is a huge bottleneck when a lot of people are using SC. And when you inevitably push some wrong button that puts you into a situation you can't get out of without employee intervention, you (as an introvert) are in a far worse situation than if you had just used a regular checkout (though cashiers in my country don't really do small-talk, which obviously helps a lot from an introvert perspective).

What the hell is the context for this, though? Why do they feel the need to proclaim that they would date pre-transition transmen?

Also: Compare Chris Hemsworth (who usually stars in movies made primarily for men) with Robert Pattinson (Twilight, among other movies that he's less ashamed of).

But, let's not pretend that the Schwarzeneggers and Hemsworths (and male-targeted comic books) don't fuck up male body image. Sure it's a power fantasy, but for most men it's not attainable (in part because a lot of (if not most) of these action movie stars take PEDs ... I mean I guess normal people can take PEDs, too, but they shouldn't, it's quite unhealthy). Especially if we consider how much modern western society promotes behaviors that make people obese.

gasp

Sex for fun, before marriage even? Women doing what they want without hurting anyone?? The horror!

Doesn't really answer the question, though ...

Whoops, you became a Mädchen!

Also, cooking as a job fucking sucks. Long hours, low pay, high pressure to get things done fast, and people generally seem to treat each other like shit. Why would you do that to yourself if you had different options?

A German joke: Hi! Wo??

Well, he'd be dead either way. Humans generally don't get 179 years old.

Potatoes can literally kill you with poisonous gas if you store too many of them wrong. It was a real risk when potato cellars were still a thing.

and use this exact bottle as a water bottle.

Jury's still out on what kind of water is in that bottle :D

That said, I used to use it as a waterbottle myself, too. They're good bottles!

What does that have to do with coke? Are your icinators coca cola-branded?

I think the historically correct term is "fascist", unless they decide to specifically eschew Mussolini's heritage and model their new regime after the German one instead.

TBH I had a pretty good time since the CRPG-resurgence.

If you're still laughing, try not taking any caffeine for a full day. I recently tried to stop the habit (digestive issues) and it's really damn hard.

Source? I mean it sounds plausible, but universial healthcare is hardly the only difference between USA and e.g. Italy. Red wine and olive oil are probably not the main culprit, but lifestyle generally plays a very large role. e.g. compare Italy's obesity rate with that of the USA, or even most other european countries. The wealthier european countries (including Italy) also have way fewer hours worked per capita than the USA.

Those muscles are kinda ridiculous even for adults ...

TBF, he does live out in the woods and does a lot of woodworking and stuff like that. He probably has more use for a truck than most.

IIRC there's some French dialects (Walloon/Belgium French IIRC) that count normally.

That kinda exists though. e.g. Devil is a part timer, Jahy-sama won't be discouraged. Though they don't entirely transform into regular nonmagical people; but I bet that also exists somewhere - there's an incredible amount of mangas and light novels.

This stuff is pretty much the opposite of Diablo. Honestly insulting that you assume that I wouldn't recognize that.

IMO, Rolex watches look ugly. So a Rolex wearer either has questionable taste, or they're only interested in having a status symbol regardless of its inherent qualities. And that's whack as hell.

What country? I'd definitely give it more benefit of the doubt in Australia than in southeastern USA. COULD be an honest attempt to gather anonymous data that is going to be used in sensible ways.

Usernames are enough.

I'm in Europe. Our society DID collapse during the last hundred years.
