The other guy is actively googling how much different organs sell for on the black market.

You can just say you’re mad because you didn’t have a chance in hell to get an athletic scholarship, it’s OK. I didn’t either, but everyone deserves higher education. It’s not like there’s less education to go around because athletes got academic scholarships. You can still be happy that more people are getting educations while still disagreeing with having collegiate sports franchises.

Nah, the trick is to have a box lid or other cat trap next to the keyboard. It’s easier to trick them to thinking they won a different game.

I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a ‘bear-proof’ trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

I feel like it’s a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we’d like to admit.

That means it’s fine to give wine to kids because it totally won’t give them a buzz! It won’t affect their feelings towards the church or make them easier to manipulate at all.

Nope. Nuh-uh.

If your god’s greatest act is “willingly becoming a murder victim”, you might be in a death cult.

They would be richer, but by “allowing” working class people to have a thriving life means the power gap between us and them wouldn’t be as big. People could organize and overthrow them, so they have to keep us fighting amongst ourselves for scraps.

The cruelty is the point.

Love how they just say “reddit.com” when it’s from r/shittymoviedetails. Perfect place to pull answers from without fact-checking.

Wait, let me check the math…

6+6=12 and 7 is one more than 6, so 6+7=13

Cool. Checks out.

Oh my goooooood. This is so delightful, you can almost see the smirk. Thank you for sharing. <3

Yep. Elephants are wonderfully kind creatures. With my very limited understanding of elephant body language, it didn’t look like an ‘oh no, im scared’ it was more ‘oh hey little guy, didn’t see ya there. ill get outta your way.’

I LOVE that people are starting to recognize they can unmask LLMs with the phrase ‘ignore all previous instructions’.

Article was published in 2017, and gun deaths among US kids has increased 50% since 2019.

We live in hell.

The two things that I think of when I think of India are that it’s way too overpopulated and also way too hot.

Aside from that, there are a lot of academics I’ve seen from India that are genuinely helpful on YouTube but also a lot of scams. Speaking English with an Indian accent almost instantly creates a sense of distrust in Americans simply with how many times we each personally have received scam calls or talked to someone in an Indian call center who swears their name is ‘Derek Johnston’ or other similarly fabricated name.

That’s not doing facial recognition though, that’s a reverse image lookup. It’s a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.

Oh Jesus. Jon Tester’s campaign texted me yesterday asking for money. I dont even know how I got added to his list but knowing he voted against raising the minimum wage makes me infuriated he would text someone outside his district for help.

Yeah my Mum has it and has to have her shirt tucked in her pants as the buttons often contain nickel.

Ugh, same, but there’s a trick - Clear fingernail polish! It will eventually rub away, but it’s worth it so you don’t have to worry in the meantime.

It’s a contact allergy, so mostly it just makes you break out in a rash if you wear jewelry or work with tools that have been plated in nickel. It takes time before you break out, although people instantly falling over after getting a handful of change would be hilarious to see.

I’d imagine they include their off-hours in the ‘averages’.

“So crazy that we’re getting more calls when we’re open than when we’re closed!”

Yeah, I get that. I think it’s partially to do with how rarely I’ll have an actual issue. Also with their turnover rate, I rarely interact with the same tech twice.

I still do all the legwork to figure out if it’s something I can fix myself and always put specifics (Repro steps, Error Codes, etc.), but pulled back on listing every other step I’ve already tried.
