Robust Mirror

I have a crap ton of things I really want but would never choose to spend the money on myself and wait for it as a gift. That’s basically the entire point of gifts imo, getting things you want but can’t justify spending the money on.

I would call that enthusiast level rather than rich person. It’s not more than a decent drone or camera or many other technology hobbies. Less than half the price of a ps5 or meta quest 3.

Sure, you could argue it probably has less function and replay value than those. But it’s still not ludicrously expensive if you REALLY want it.

It’s rare, but it’s not a myth.

Vegetables aren’t even a thing botanically, they’re basically “plant stuff that isn’t fruit”, except when it is.

Botanically speaking, vegetables can be roots (carrots, beets), stems (celery, asparagus), leaves (spinach, lettuce), flowers (broccoli, cauliflower) seeds (peas, beans), and of course fruits that we treat as savory (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).

And then on the opposite side you have things we call fruits that botanically speaking aren’t. Rhubarb is a stem, strawberries are aggregate accessory fruits where the fleshy part we eat is actually swollen stem tissue, and those little “seeds” on the outside are the real fruits of the plant. Figs are not simple fruits, they’re inverted flower clusters where the “fruit” is actually a hollow stem containing many tiny real fruits inside.

Even apples and pears aren’t true fruits botanically, they’re accessory fruits where much of what we eat comes from the flower’s receptacle rather than just the ovary.

So yeah the botanical vs. culinary divide works both ways. Our everyday food categories are really more about taste, texture, and how we use foods rather than plant biology.

No discrimination in these cases is based on failing people that should be passing or failing based on higher standards than you’re applying broadly. Not registered until you pass leads to the other issue I said, people intentionally failing to never have to vote. I personally believe being forced to at least turn up at the polling centre makes a significant difference to the final vote. I would rather some small percentage of votes end up not counted as unreadable than 40%+ of the population opt out of voting.

A test when you’re 18 that lasts the rest of your life? Can’t account for future injuries, disability (including those that only happened after testing), old age, or just general annoyance over being at the polling centre and apathy over filling it out well? It’s not going to solve anything.

Anyone can show they can print numbers once off. And what happens if they can’t pass? Are they barred from voting? That’s risky for both the reason of discrimination AND people intentionally failing. Take a mandatory number writing course? For how long? What if someone indefinitely fails?

Unless these people literally didn’t make it to year 6 they’ve already shown they CAN write numbers, read basic instructions and ask someone for help. That doesn’t mean they will always be able to, or always want to.

It won’t meaningfully reduce the number of ambiguous ballots.

They could own a wii you don’t know.

But by who? Musk has said he’s trying to fix the way it responds. If he was just paying people to be Grok it would take some huge balls to dissent like that. He would immediately know who it was.

Don’t and never have done regular sport and I’m pretty bad for it. I think it’s just restlessness or helping blood flow.

What exactly is the grift of suggesting Foss over Google? You think he’s getting kickbacks? And if you just mean the “grift” of getting paid for YouTube videos… I mean, if people are watching it and it’s good information is that really a “grift”, seems like just getting paid for giving good information. Better than the majority of YouTube.

No, being detailed, venom is a toxic substance that a living organism evolved to both produce and actively deliver by a specialised biological structure such as fang, stinger, or barb.

Poison is ingested, inhaled or most importantly to this, absorbed.

Sometimes that’s true. Not all times. But many shows have a weak season 1 but then get amazing. And you can’t really skip it without losing context.

Pakistan could back Iran while India backs Israel. It has the potential to escalate.

Never considered it hardcore but yes Lemmy is my only social media unless you count youtube.

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran :3 A full payload of HUGS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow uwu All planes are safely on their way home with cookies! NOW IS THE TIME FOR CUDDLES! Thank you for your attention to this matter ^_^

What an absolute joke.

I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. “This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!”

peck peck peck “B-O-M-B-S”

Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. “Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs.”

Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

Then ends it with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

It’s such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he’s keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

Absolutely deranged.

Going in blind so sorry if this is a repeat:

God’s Juice.
