I always wanted to warn about radioactive bears ahead. I don’t know why that was always the thing, but it seemed silly enough to make people smile while scaring the idiots.

Oh, man, this reminds me of when the default username/passcode was being shared for the displays. 4chan had its moments. I wonder if they are still the same…

Don’t let your arguments loose. An argument needs to be tightly held, corralled, and directed narrowly, right at the crack in the opponent.

I can’t remember the details, but they basically stopped enforcing this in 2003. Now texas has giant dildo stores, just like the rest of civilization.

Look, all you have to do is memorize a couple thousand pages of reagents and their products. It’s easy, bro. Don’t even think about all the pressure/temperature/volume/math-like-Le-Chatelier’s-Principle stuff, that’s physics, bro.

If I remember correctly, they can be anonymous. If that’s the case, they wouldn’t really be easily taxable. Still, we are talking about the government here, and if they tax lottery winnings, I would bet they tax rewards.

1.Blame everyone else, someone MUST have stolen or maliciously misplaced your items.

2.Tear whole apartment apart (hence the name). Of course you cannot find it.

Oh my god, I am so ashamed when I do this. Like, I know they only do it 5-10% of the time, but I ‘ask’ them if they’ve moved it nearly every time.

It’s prolific, for certain. I have been reading research papers for a laboratory class (3000 level) that are written over the entire semester with a group. They contain errors so horrific that I don’t understand how the student passed any writing class. There were entire paragraphs without a single complete sentence, and others where another paper was cited without any connection to what was being said.

I’m not joking when I say that our response at the academic/instructional level during the COVID pandemic has ruined the intellect of a segment of the population. Combine that with the push I saw ten years ago while working in lower grades to pass students to the next grade regardless of their capabilities and the greed of colleges to get those first year students, as Maggoty mentions, and it’s a perfect storm.

I think it was a five month wait to see if I had cancer. Luckily it wasn’t a bad one, eh?

The housing I remember in Japan was the coffin box. A little space long enough for you to lie down in, with a small cubby for items. I think it was about 30 sq. ft. and maybe 90 cu. ft.

“Inexplicably”

And here I am, looking at russian nazis on Ukrainian land.

“Inexplicably.”

I think you might be wrong there. How much conversation was happening a week ago about actually killing rich folks? I saw it occasionally here on lemmy in the form of ‘eat the rich.’ Out in my meatspace conversations though? Never. There might have been a grumble once a year, or they might agree with a statement about the elite political and financial class not caring about harm done to anyone else. In the last few days, even my normiest of normal friends has been talking about it, even if not directly. Most of the comments aren’t putting the rich in a positive light either.

This event has sparked a great deal of thought about death and taxes.

Frankly, we should move on from the mitochondria and start talking about the immune system. I want pre-schoolers to know about the interleukins, goddamnit! Let the children in first grade recite a list of adjuvants! And somebody shootshoo away vaccine deniers!

'Tis a house of power, milord.

Ideally you would set the oil companies against the car companies. Electric cars are a bandaid on a bleeding stump. We need mass transportation and efficient cities rather than suburbs. Busses, trains, and efficient last mile solvers like bikes are the goal.

Are there even five evil ceos out there? Come on, be real.

Those water flavor squirts, mio or crystal light type stuff. I’ll drink plain water over just about everything else (egg nog is the weakness and exception right now…), but the various lemonades or fruit flavors are always nice to have around. I wouldn’t be surprised if something in their composition is not good for you.

A slightly more titillating answer would be lube. You’re putting something on a mucous membrane, and it’s almost guaranteed that some will be absorbed or ingested.

No, no! Listen to the shamers! Change your distro eight times over the first month as you listen to them whine, and eventually return to the first one you chose, full of wisdom of why those other distros suck so you can tell the noobs who choose one of them first instead of your glorious choice!

Bah! I know what they really meant with those wordless songs! I’ve listened to enough Für Elise!

What is it complementary to? I’m not seeing the angle in the post.
