I love the metric system and wish we used it. But I’m also kinky. No further questions.

When it comes to protesting like this I don’t really give a shit if someone paints over parts of a building. But the books themselves? That’s just fucked up. I understand they are trying to get people pissed over this but this is entirely the wrong way to do it. All this will do is make everyone pissed off at you instead. I’d say a good rule of thumb for protest graffiti is whether or not it can still be used after it’s been covered in paint. Graffiti on a wall doesn’t make the wall unusable. But if someone put graffiti on the windshield of my car I’d be so pissed off I wouldn’t give two shits about the message.

We’re all kids. We just have responsibility now so we have to pretend we don’t want to sit around and play with Legos all day. None of us have “figured it out” and the only reason it seemed like adults knew what they were doing when we were kids was because adults were old enough to have fucked everything up at least once.

The best part about late stage capitalism is that all the worst people have all the money to do whatever the hell they want.

The snow golem.

You’re goddamn right I do.

It’s crazy how fatal falls can be for ANYONE. Seriously. I’ve seen people fall off a 4 foot ladder and have it be fatal. Or slip on ice. Or just trip on something. I’m also a kinda tall clumsy person so I think about this a lot too. Plus I’ve taken OSHA classes on fall protection which only made it worse. :)

This is a very common thing outside the bubble that is the US. In fact, before COVID it was totally normal to see people wearing masks when they were sick in public places. A little strange to see, but still normal and nobody really cared. People didn’t give two shits back then versus now where they stick out like a sore thumb. Before you’d see someone wearing a mask and think “oh, they might be sick” and move on with your life before you even had a chance to put it into your long term memory. It’s not that it’s weird to wear a mask. It’s that everyone forgot that it used to not be weird at all. The fact that they are getting judged in the first place would seem completely ridiculous 5 years ago.

The fact that there is a stigma in the first place is incredibly silly. Masks are a great tool to prevent getting others sick. It’s like if someone made fun of you for using a screwdriver instead of doing it by hand.

I wear one when I’m sick. Outside of places like the United States it’s actually very common to wear masks when you are sick. There used to not be a stigma about masks even in the US before COVID. This is because masks were never meant to be used as a way to prevent getting sick but as a way to not get others sick, therefore slowing the spread of disease. Somewhere over the past few years the lines got crossed and everyone started calling masks bullshit because they misinterpreted the actual use for them. Doctors don’t wear masks because they don’t want to get sick. They wear them so they don’t get their patients sick.

I wish Valve had some sort of monetary incentive to fix this. If this happened to the cash cow that is Counter Strike this would have been fixed already. It’s sad to see this going on especially with the resurgence TF2 has been having lately.

Watched the first season before Amazon added ads to their streaming. It was pretty decent. Not decent enough to watch ads or pay more.

I understand completely. My main concern however is not startup companies. I’m all for supporting smaller companies. It’s more like huge corporations where the CEO takes the majority of the money and probably spends more time on vacation than actually doing anything. Even though I’m sure they do more than I am letting on, I don’t think it justifies millions or even billions of dollars in pay and bonuses. If they started the company that’s one thing. However most CEO’s of large corporations are so far removed from the initial founding of the company they basically have less to do with what the company does than the average employee. The amount of money these companies could make if they actually put that money back into it is potentially higher than current profits. It’s really a win-win situation for everyone except for the CEO instead of just a win for the CEO and nobody else.

Honestly all these companies trying to use AI to replace their workers is pretty funny when you consider that their job is probably the easiest to replace. In fact, AI is a bit overkill. Really all you’d need is a semi reliable algorithm to do the shit they do. I’m not surprised The Onion sees this too.

I get this all the time because I tend to binge games over weekends when I got nothing else going on. I’ll give two examples that I remember the most.

One of the most prolific is Factorio. Seeing conveyor belts everywhere I go. Whether I’m awake or about to fall asleep I just constantly see conveyor belts as I solve non existent problems with the efficiency of said conveyor belts.

The weirdest was after Outer Wilds. I binged it for about 12 hours straight one day. You spend a lot of time orbiting around planets and landing on them. After I was done I was walking around my apartment and felt like I was “orbiting” a spaceship around my apartment. It felt super weird to walk. Felt like the floor was the surface of a planet and my head was a spaceship flying miles above it trying to land.

Honestly, as a dude, I’m 100% down for male birth control. Can’t wait.

This meme was created way before Assassin’s Creed added Yasuke to their game. Which sucks because this meme was pretty funny before people got racist.

This meme was a lot funnier before the whole Assassin’s Creed debacle. Although it is funny seeing people get mad about it while trying not to sound racist lol.

Where can one buy litmus paper to try this? I am very curious now.
