Ah, that makes me feel better. I’ve probably heard of it before, and just never looked into it.

The implication of this being that I am behind the times, stuck on outdated tech, and didn’t even know it is uncomfortable.

I’m confused, what Democrat politicians or campaign staff coordinated removing those communities from Reddit? And why would Democrats even need to? Those communities broke sitewide rules egregiously and frequently. Considering how long they were allowed to keep going, it seems more likely (though I’m sure not the actual case) that Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Reddit admins to keep The_Donald open.

That’s pretty crazy. Do you have examples of Reddit admins directly working with Democrat campaigns or politicians to remove content? I don’t think Hunter Biden’s dick pics count, as revenge porn is already illegal.

Edit: For anyone confused as to how my reply relates to the above post, the above used to be a claim that Reddit worked with democrats to remove content, but is now edited to say something completely different.

I think you’ll be surprised at how much asbestos is still used worldwide, including in the US. We’re not using it as wall and ceiling insulation anymore, but it’s still used for things like pipes and vinyl floor tiles.

There’s not much to it. They simply believe that as the strife causes conflict over resources the factions will “naturally” align along racial lines. They also believe that people “naturally” cohabitate better within their own race.

This does require ignoring all of human history and the brutal conflicts that have occurred within racially homogenous regions. But I’d never accuse white supremacists of being intelligent or genuine.

I wouldn’t recommend this if you fly very frequently, but you can take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen at the start of the flight / part way though and it should be active around the time you start getting sore.

I’m usually fine giving the benefit of the doubt, but this comment was in direct response to a scene from the show that was absolutely blatant, so they had to wilfully ignore that.

I saw someone complaining that the old X-men show was at least subtle and not in your face about how it approached social issues.

This was in response to a clip from the old X-men show of a bunch of anti-mutant brownshirts in armbands getting mad that a filthy mutant was touching a human woman.

I think it’s safe to say that person was not arguing in good faith.

As horrendous as this ruling is, I’m also pissed at the pro-forced birthers that are upset by this ruling. It’s so intellectually dishonest to object to this ruling when it uses the same justifications they use to oppose abortion.

These people pick issues to be passionate on but never actually put in the effort to research. And not just whether their position makes any sense, but what the downstream effects of the position would mean.

The politicians who write these anti-abortion laws are even more lazy. This is literally their job and they should have seen this coming. They could have put in exceptions for IVF from the get-go but they didn’t, because they are more interested in winning points than writing effective legislation.

They reported 9.9 billion in profit for their third quarter last year, so I think 458 minutes of profit from that quarter.

I assumed 90 days in the quarter, or 129,600 minutes.

So dollar or minute wise, that comes out to a 00.35% penalty to that quarter.

Edit: Which isn’t even close to the 36 minutes in that article, so I’d err on me being the wrong one.

Edit 2: I think I see the difference, I was looking at their profit, not their revenue.

Sometimes I put stuff somewhere “safe”. Which means I’ll find it 2 years later.

Nomads from Cyberpunk 2020/2077 were not on my bingo card for this year.

I don’t think I’ve ever considered how terrifying a mantis is to faeries (of small enough size). Sure, tons of stuff is terrifying at that size but mantises have a crazy success rate in killing prey.

What’s actually news worthy is that TSA managed to catch this. Their success rate is abysmal, so I’m sure this is a big confidence boost for them.

The guards that patrol the ice wall.

Entirety of NASA. Entirety of NOAA. Meteorologists. Cartographers. Everyone who works on Google Earth. Every engineer who works on satellites, rockets, and planes. Physicists.

However, I do think 10% is probably too high an estimate. While these are a lot of people in a lot of areas, they represent pretty small demographics each.

Hallucinations while half-asleep are a well known phenomenon, so it’s very possible.

If you’re trying to know for certain, that’s harder. You’ll have to consider a lot of things. Not all of them are likely, so how much digging you do is dependent on how concerned you are.

Do you live alone? I assume you do, or already asked the people you live with.

Are all your exterior doors and windows locked? Is anything missing or out of place? I think you’d have already noticed if you’d been robbed, but this is easy stuff to rule out.

Do you have functioning Carbon Monoxide detectors? Do you have sleep apnaea? CO can lead to memory loss, sleep apnaea can contribute to sleep paralysis.

Have you seen your door open while half asleep before? If this is recurring, you can do things like place hairs in the door that will fall if it opens.

Have you done a sleep study? This can help determine if your REM cycle is frequently disrupted and if you need something like a CPAP.

There may be a better way, but I use the option to extract the file to a new folder with the same name as the zip file.

In my opinion, when you prioritize money over values, it’s just bigotry with more steps.

At least the end result is the same, even if the motivation is potentially different.

The original design of that bench is an art piece protesting the commercialization of life (although it may have been implemented seriously in some place where they missed the point).

Ironically, I’d expect a person living on the street to have actual coins capable of operating the bench more often than most people.
