It’s the same as with the CEO. Sure, if we could otherwise force these fucks to stop persecuting people and generally making everything worse for the entire world, I’d prefer that. But I still feel nothing but joy at anyone whos a “close trump ally” dying.
Because “close trump ally” reads the same to me as “close hitler ally”.
I see “ahh” for ass everywhere and it annoys me so much because it completely kills the reading flow for me
3.6/2+0.36 = 2.16
(10% of 36 halved, so 5%, plus 1% of 36)
It’s not woman-exclusive and also the companies deciding the sizing are not the same as the companies running department stores (for large clothing brands these days, online shopping in their own store would be optimal, since retailers take a large cut).
It’s mainly that making sure sizes are actually the same costs more money than just going with whatever comes out, and it’s hard to make purchasing decisions based on size consistency once a large amount of brands do this.
That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.
Given that one of the main defining things of fascism is a personality cult, yes it’s an indicator for sure.
Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf
Smartphones aren’t the issue. You can access the internet in other ways. This feels very boomer yelling at clouds.
That said, as a recommendation, sure why not. People do seem a bit too glued to their phones overall. But I don’t think that’s anything new.
I also don’t know anything about japanese laws, so I have no idea if this is a concern, but anything potentially enforcable that cuts into people’s freedom arbitrarily makes alarm bells go off in my head.
So I didn’t get nausea when I first got glasses (that I remember at least, I had some as a child for a bit for other reasons and then in my late teens got them for short-sightedness) but I have 2 pairs - one I use for computers/reading/anything close-by (which, since I don’t bother changing them for my commute, is most of the time - and no I’m not in a car and I can see everything fine anyway, just distant text is hard) and one pair that fully corrects my vision that I use otherwise. When I’ve gone a while without using the stronger pair, I always get some nausea for a bit after putting them on, but it goes away after a few hours, and if I wear that pair for a few days, it stops happening completely. I think you’ll get used to it. I also have one eye with a much stronger defict than the other, and I think that might be related since correcting that probably affects depth perception.
While yes, the key thing is that at any point either party can say “nope no longer wanna do this”, it’s still a hierarchy, but it is mutually agreed upon. (Also, in reality, the sub has the ultimate control in bdsm because of the safe word, and if they don’t something is very wrong)
Static unchangable hierarchies are what no one enters voluntarily (at the low end that is).
Even outside of bdsm, it can make perfect sense to establish a hierarchy for e.g. faster response times, or because one person is far more knowledgable about something. It’s just important that the people on the lower end can always end it.
It’s kind of the other way around, we’ve always had AI, it used to just basically mean a computer making some decision based on data. Like a thermostat changing the heating in response to a temperature change.
Then we got LLMs and because they are good at pretending to have complex reasoning ability, AI as a term started to always mean “computer with near human level intelligence” which of course they are absolutely not.
I’ve never even seen a cat with a collar here in germany, standard procedure afaik is just to get them chipped and that’s that.
I have seen at least two different “BND Überwachungswagen 00x” here in germany as well. The BND is our national intelligence agency (and Überwachungswagen just means surveillance van).
Always a fan
What are you arguing against here? If you think you’re defending yourself then you think you’re defending yourself. If you think you’re helping the people you think you’re helping the people. Neither means the outcome will be good or the actions justified. All the person you’re responding to did was reason about Thatcher’s possible motivations.
Do you actually understand the term strawman because arguing against a strawman is exactly what you did there.
I think this mostly works with the current order of the world, but it would also mean that e.g. a white supremacist in japan is left wing (since the current social hierarchy there if anything has japanese people above the rest - and please no one twist this into me saying japan is ultra racist).
It seems more to me that a common thread for anything considered “left” is that there should be no or very little social hierarchy, whereas right wing ideologies think there should be a very strong one (be that inherently through circumstances of your birth or merit based). In reality most places do have quite a bit of social hierarchy (and used to have more) so it coincides with wanting to change the status quo.
There’s probably something I’m forgetting that is considered left wing and loves hierarchies
I also get those compliments and I also just use shampoo and conditioner (once or twice a week). When I travel and use hotel shampoo/conditioner my hair usually feels noticably worse after (sometimes the hotel stuff is actually nice though).
I think a lot of it is genetics, and not coloring or bleaching or anything also helps a lot. But conditioner is great and not a scam (and I don’t let the male targeted 2 in 1 soap/shampoo stuff anywhere near my hair anymore, that was noticably worse as well)
100%, furries get way too much hate. Especially considering how chill they’re usually are.
Though honestly unless your pfp betrays some insane political affiliation it shouldn’t have relevance on how you see someones reply. I know this is a shitpost but people do that for real. I think my favorite are the xitter boomers dismissing people because their avatar isn’t a selfie and they don’t using their real names.
Bad life rng, I think
For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But I’m lucky to have a job that pays well, that I don’t hate, with great colleagues.
Also germany, but yea makes sense, I don’t have gas canisters, rarely buy alcohol, the self checkouts around here stopped with the weighing, and I rarely buy more than 5 things at once+am decently fast at scanning, so it maybe costs me 15 seconds.
Also I did scan an item twice today and the lidl self checkout actually allowed me to delete it, at first I also thought I’d have to get an employee.
Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It’s not like they have no incentive.
But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they’d still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn’t sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.
