I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we’d have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.
Tiny nitpick: I think you meant 0.5 by 0.5 cm (or 5 by 5 mm).
The judge would use this sign to make an example of you.
As they should. It seems like common sense that this sign should be enough and anybody that ignores it “is an idiot that has themselves to blame for the discomfort of food poisoning”. But it’s suddenly a whole different story when your grandma of 82 has died a painful death from severe salmonella infections just because she forgot her reading glasses that day.
The risk of death is tiny but nevertheless an unacceptable risk to assume just so some other people can keep buying their snack for a couple of days instead of shutting down the machine.
It’s a pot of gold. Obviously there’s a leprechaun involved who will be presenting the riddle.
Is it really that confusing? If it had said there was a pot of gold the implication is clear that the person who reaches it will be rich. You ask “why a nude woman?” and the answer is simply because, just like being rich, desiring a sexual partner is a common desire.
Sounded perfectly to me!
Kids these days fr going “the olds these days” unironically 💀
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’m assuming that’s a side effect. Looking it up it seems to have started because the people of the time believed it reduced transmission of STDs and that it lessens the urge to masturbate.
(Pre-edit: this became much longer than intended. You struck a chord in me it seems.)
You’ve articulated this so very well. It’s a lesson that took me many years to learn and comes with the prerequisite of respecting yourself and respecting your partner to such a degree that the relationship comes second for both of you. Each person’s first priority should be themselves. Both parties need to respect that to the point of accepting that staying together is not a given and is contingent on both parties being fully satisfied with the direction your lives together is heading.
The funny thing is that I’ve never felt more confident in my relationship since learning that. I used to think that’s putting the relationship second to yourself is antithetical to commitment but actually it’s the other way around. The only way to fully commit to a relationship is to make sure that maintaining it is a concious choice rather than an expectation or given.
The way my dad illustrated this lesson in my youth (and I took the advice but only recently learned the full meaning of it) is like this: life is a journey down a road with many crossroads. Should you find a partner, you walk together. If you hit a crossroad and can’t agree on a direction then thank each other for the lovely journey together but let them follow their own path. Find that partner that is going to the same destination and you’ll have found happiness in love.
I don’t think they’re necessarily saying their housemate is wrong. I took it as them just pointing out how it gets old fast. Which is also my interpretation of what the meme represents.
And sometimes it seems to go further than that. They want them to be changed retroactively it seems. Once a bigot, always a bigot seems to be the prevalent outlook. It’s paramount to recognize that this line of thinking ultimately comes from personal bitterness. That bitterness is valid and an expected emotional response to the hate that is constantly spewed by bigots. However, we need to embrace redemption more if we want to encourage personal change.
The font strongly suggests that after being punched he got better.
Yeah, I don’t believe these megachurch pastors believe the word of God at all, or they wouldn’t be in that line of work.
Somehow in being an atheist I’m a more honest Christian than them in that I at least state outright that I’m not a Christian. That’s more honest than pretending to be Christian just to leverage people’s hopelessness to scam them into an even more dire and hopeless situation.
I had the exact same infuriating experience the first half hour of using my OLED panel but it turns out it was simply because Firefox doesn’t support hdr. You have to use edge or chrome for hdr content online. So now I use edge purely for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.
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.
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 simply can’t eat fries without mayonnaise… I do suspect that the mayonnaise we use for fries here is different from what you get in the states, though I’ve never been there so I can’t say for sure.
My eyes were shut to this for such an embarrassingly long time. One time while on the phone with my sister she was catcalled/harassed. I could hear it and asked “what the fuck was that?!”. She shrugged it off. It was normal to her. The fact that she was so cavalier about it really opened my eyes to how different the female experience is in this world and it breaks my heart.
Girls, feel free to be loud about this (if you feel like it, if course). It’s a big deal and (assuming my experience is typical) the men in your life might be clueless to the severity of it.
