Not the person you were responding to, but… Did I read the article stuck behind a paywall? No, no I did not

Edit: ah I see the non paywall link now

Yep. I’ve lived in 9 states so far. The only place I consistently used public transit was when I lived in NYC

I grew up in the South (USA) and had to go to church every weekend. So you can imagine the types of conservative ideas I grew up with. A lot has changed for me, if we’re talking politics or religion, I don’t fit in with the rest of my immediate family.

Agreed. What? I’ve never seen a study stating this. And anecdotally, it worked fine for me, once I found the right therapist, the first two were meh, not a good fit.

I don’t know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I’m in the US, and yes I’m jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

Ugh, wish my doc had been concerned about my drinking when it was a problem. Nope. I went in with insomnia problems, and explicitly told him I also have a drinking problem, and he prescribed the max dose of extended release Ambien with a casual “oh don’t drink on this” as if I hadn’t just told him I had a problem. I used to drink every day, he thought I’d magically stop because he prescribed something for me to take every day? NOPE. Surprised I didn’t die from the alcohol + Ambien combo because I didn’t realize how bad it truly was to mix those.

Well she involuntarily quit responding to Mom now that she’s a grandma (not my doing, my siblings have kids). So now I call her the same thing the kids do, Mimi

I know someone who missed an emailed wedding invite because of an AI assisted inbox sorting. Yea, hard pass, I don’t want this

Beautiful use of machine learning and machine vision, get out of here with facial recognition everywhere, give me shit like this

And they’re not accounting for any amount of cooling between slaps. What’s the ambient temp? What’s the rate of slap?

Nice, I was going to post GPD. Also no personal experience, I’ve wanted one for a while now, maybe one day.

Bumped into something sharp and it cut me. No biggie. Except for the part where I haven’t self harmed in 3.5 years and it looks EXACTLY like something I would’ve done intentionally. Mildly triggering. I’ll live though.

Play on words. They’re saying that fucking someone lower on the 0-10 hotness scale is fucking DOWN, so fucking someone hotter is fucking UP (I don’t really use that scale lol, just easiest way to describe it)

I didn’t realize there were white arrows in that pic at first. I thought they also had some goofy ass clown haircuts

My 2011 MacBook pro is still chugging along thanks to Linux.

I upgraded 4GB RAM to 16GB, upgraded the HDD to SSD, and replaced the CD drive with a second SSD. Sadly the screen is almost completely gone, occasionally intermittent, probably a cable gone bad, not sure, but the mini display port is working fine for an external monitor.

Uncircumcised

There’s a math joke I remember hearing ~10 years ago, I can’t remember the whole thing, but it was something about a mathematician not being able to tell the difference between a coffee mug and a donut, they have the same number of holes so they’re the same shape.

Edit:

Damn, I’ve never blasphemed that one. I may die and end up in heaven due to my religious upbringing. Can’t have that…

FUCK THE HOLY SPIRIT

Pure water isn’t a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren’t the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.

I’m a filthy degenerate so that’s probably true
