unfortunately, “4-20” has much more of a ring than “20-of-4”

also it starts a turf war when you challenge the American date format

haha. that was my exact thought as well: looks like a nice banana hammock

I use water to escape the emotional state of feeling dehydrated. and I exercise to escape the emotional state of wishing I was more physically healthy.

just throwing around the “addiction” term like this is extremely damaging to yourself and those who suffer from real addictions

I’ve got a problem with articles like this: “The guy who got it right once is betting a second time he’s going to get it right”. and then the article continues: “Even though he’s got it wrong a bunch of times since, he got it right that one time… So this has gotta be his second time!!”

Do I read this right? You’re saying “the right is winning because they’re posting clickbait bullshit (technical term here, not just a sloppy swear) consumed in memes or tiktok-style videos”?

Aren’t you terrified that’s the life so many (and I think you’re putting yourself in this camp as well) are choosing to live?

Why don’t y’all just do this everywhere? I mean, it’s not that hard. Just make it a fun tiktok meme and there’s bound to be enough trigger-happy Guardsmen to make a point.

“Why don’t you rise up against them?” Well… because that’s scary

“Why don’t you do more nonviolent protests?” Well… because that requires us to do something and we’d rather sit on our couch

Ah. makes sense now

Double tap for “I see everything with Jason Statham just on principle”

“Kamala Harris doesn’t behave in a ladylike way and that’s naughty of her”

Christian Science as well. It’s eerie how many overlaps they have with Mormons: founded by a single person (Mary Baker Eddystone), have a book they treat as scripture (Science and Health), believe they are the “one true way”, and tell people to “pray to know if the book [and the religion] is true”

So eerie, in fact, that it was the final nail in the head (so to speak) that allowed me to leave Mormonism for good

there’s a very important video on the measurement rules in the UK, if you haven’t seen it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNh9z3IzG8t/

eh, we’ve got pubs and chips.

oh also went back to the States last week and was appalled that a pint can cost upwards of $10 when a decade ago it was only $6 (London prices have stayed around £6-7). throw on the whole tip racketeering insanity and I’d much rather be in England.

You know why they “tombstone”? (By the way, they don’t replace with a tombstone marker but instead add the marker.)

Because if you “accidentally” deleted something and then decided you wanted it back, you’d get really mad if they couldn’t do that. If they immediately deleted it, you couldn’t ever get it back

The copies and deep copies are for a similar reason: Some engineer accidentally deletes a bunch of data, it’s really nice to have a backup so you don’t lose everything.

There’s a pretty trivial rule for getting this right. Phrase your sentence using who/whom as a question. Respond with he/him. If your response contains a “he”, your initial statement should be “who”; if it contains a “him” then you’re looking at a “whom” use.

• ex: “To who/whom should the gold be given?” -> “To him” -> “whom”
• ex: “Who/whom wants the gold?” -> “He wants the gold” -> “who”
• ex: “Who/whom did you see at the party?” -> “I saw him” -> “whom”
• ex: “The man who/whom called earlier is here” -> “Who/whom called?” -> “he called” -> “who”

I don’t understand why you’re getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made

this seems cool, but… so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids…

… and TP. don’t forget to stock up on TP

Reminds me of a thread I saw here a while ago on “What if advertising were illegal?”

I’ve found the best method for reducing my need on Amazon is to just buy less crap. Online shopping is simple because you can get stuff immediately, but I don’t think anybody “needs” 3-4 new products per week.

Aside from that, I try and support local: find local shops that sell items similar to my style, or trust word of mouth for online retailers that are good. At the end of the day, as long as you’re buying good-quality stuff (which oddly seems to spend less on advertisements) it doesn’t really matter where exactly you buy from, as it’s all pretty similar in price / quality.

Is it delivered via Amazon or just in Amazonian packaging? I guess I don’t mind either as much, since I can’t expect a small seller to keep two separate streamlined processes…

This has also saved me on more than one occasion as I’ve tried to find the same “brand” of something I was going to buy on another site, only to find it was actually an Amazon product they were trying to push. Dodged that bullet for sure
