Nothing too serious, i want to hear your petty, your eccentric, your off beat takes.
“Lgbtq+ rights” is a mouthfull. We should call it rainbow-rights instead.
Making your bed every day is useless.
Nobody’s gonna see it and you can’t use it without messing it up.
Ah young one I was once like you until I realised, that by not making the bed, your fitted sheet ends up absorbing more dust and moisture during the day and you have to change them more frequently. For truly optimal laziness it’s best to at least throw the quilt over.
“Vegan” should be pronounced “vejan” because they eat vegetables not “veegatables’.
But vegan doesn’t mean “only eats vegetables”. You can be vegan and only eat bread (seriously, I met one of those a couple of months ago, militant dude too. Pointed out that being vegan is easy “because you only need carbs.”)
People who watch love island/MAFS etc style reality need a head shake. They all say they watch it ironically, nah its just trashy and you are trashy for watching.
My smartest friends like trashier TV but not the relationship oriented stuff
Johnny Silverhand did nothing wrong.
The world would function 100% better if we made everything autism friendly and behaved autism friendly
My hot take is that I get tired of people citing autism to excuse themselves from acting badly.
Quite. Autistic people are just as likely to behave badly as people who aren’t neuro divergent.
Define acting badly
My fave line. That’s an explanation, not an excuse.
I get annoyed when people describe the taste and flavor of coffee as “strong”.
“Strong” is just the concentration of coffee particles in water. An espresso is stronger than an Americano for instance.
Coffee tastes bitter, sour and maybe a little sweet. The flavors can be quite complex involving fruit, nuts, spices and such. Don’t just say “sTrOnG” like an oonga boonga caveman.
I’m glad to see another coffee lover
the beans my favorite roaster uses taste slightly of cinnamon. i already add cinnamon to my coffee, so they are my flavorite
Despite the risks, raw cookie dough is better in every other way than the cookie it makes. Stop baking cookies and just give me the dough 😋
The riskiest part of cookie dough is the flour.
It will help one build their immunity, it’s fine. /s
Prefacing this with saying I’ve previously worked in wildlife conservation for years.
Limited hunting of big game in Africa is perfectly fine. Dipshits willing to pay $100K to shoot something fund entire villages, put kids through school, and define a value of the living animals that make it easier to define how much money anti-poaching efforts need, etc. Even if not well-managed, even with expected corruption, it ends up working out.
Absolutist conservation stances never take into account how ridiculously manipulated these ranges are already. There’s not much still natural about an ecosystem in a reserve. Predator/prey relationships are weird, tourism focuses only on charismatic megafauna, and tourist sites bring staff and place humans close to wildlife anyway. Absolutist stances end up being horrible for animals long term because the ecosystems are so messed up, so populations boom, then crash. Why would anyone want to watch hundreds of animals starve to death as a way to “manage” a population when someone is willing to pay to do the same thing in a specifically managed situation?
In most species, the most useless thing there is, is an older male. Humans let them run their counties, which is stupid. Elephants, rhinos, lions and hippos run them off because they get violent and kill their own kind. Humans haven’t recognized that’s what ours do, too. But when a rich dipshit wants to pay $100K to be brought 30 meters from an old lion and shoot it before it kills 3 cubs from a rival… I’m very OK with that.
Poaching is the real threat, and most people are too ignorant of stupid to know the difference because of an abstract fear of firearms, rather than logically looking at the whole problem.
I agree but I still reserve the right to think the obnoxious, rich cunt posing with the beast that his African guide tracked for him (and probably loaded his gun and packed his lunch) is an insufferable twat and a leach on society.
That makes sense to me. permitted hunting to cull invasive animals in many places of the world is still going. I don’t see a problem with extending that to bug game hunting in Africa the way you described it. Like it or not humanity have changed ecosystems plenty of times in various scope and scale
“Fuck lawns” energy, but for graveyards. (no not like that, stoppit!)
Or postmortem services in general. If you want to give something to someone, do it when they’re still around to appreciate it. Once they’re dead, they won’t give a fuck about the fancy funeral or coffin or w/e you bought for em.
Graveyards are a waste of land. In many areas, embalming chemicals leach out and poison the water table. If you must use the land for mourning, cremate the body, bury the cremains, and plant a tree.
Human cremains are too acidic to make good growing soil.
Mulch the body, bury the mulch, plant a tree.
cremains, nice. Its not often anymore that I learn a legit new word. Thank you kid sir or madame.
we’re probably too salty too.
human composting has come a long way. it’s what i want them to do with me after the med school is done learning whatever they can.
All post death stuff is for those still living, top help them cope
Functionally yes, but those partaking generally see it as a gesture for the deceased, not therapy in disguise.
I’m all for therapy, it’s just the way we go about it in this context is stupid and wasteful.
I am tempted to agree with you, I mean we’re going to run out of graveyard space if we keep it up. We need something like crypts for all the graves from several hundreds of years ago to move into, and then we need to keep on moving people from graveyards into crypts ad infinitum - this way we could still provide graveyard space to people who are remembered by living relatives. I’d say the cut-off could be 3 or 4 generations.
Of more importance to peoples’ descendants long term is having good documentation of who their ancestors were, when they were born, married, and died (see websites like: https://www.freebmd2.org.uk/ , if you need this information yourself. this one is UK and i don’t know about any american one, sorry.)
As long as you have that information for your records, a grave for your great great great something is not important.
Whoever invented jetskis and didn’t call them boatorcycles seriously fucked up
They were originally called Water scooters
Whoever invented jetskis
and didn’t call them boatorcyclesseriously fucked upFTFY
So what is the cycling part of it? Just curious 😇
I now can’t help but completely agree, that would have been so much better
I think the Commodore Amiga’s potential as a gaming platform was never truly taken advantage of despite the massive hardware advancement from the C64, and that save for a handful of exceptions, its game library is mostly poorly designed shovelware that people only go back to for nostalgia.
I had an Atari ST and, in a childish and tribalistic way, hated the Amiga - although looking back it was clearly superior by almost every metric! I betrayed my childhood self and got one a few years back. The games are generally smoother and sound better, but the nostalgia itch is only truly scratched when I power up the ST.
The seventh planet from the sun should be called Caelus after the Roman sky god to match the other planets rather than using a latinized version of the name of the Greek sky god Ouranos.
It’s OK. You can admit that you’re just not mature enough to say Uranus with a straight face.
I’m almost 40 and I still find probe Uranus jokes funny. When does that get better?
It doesn’t get better than probing Uranus
“Really, Captain? *sigh* Probing Uranus…”
- EDI, Mass Effect 2
I hope it doesn’t go away. I’m mid 30s now and I want to still laugh at Uranus jokes and other silly jokes.
Neither am I, and I kick in at least 20 every time I hear of a new mission to Uranus. The name alone funds spaceflight
More games, if not all games, should include cheats or extra sliders for both difficult but also gameplay options.
Let have infinite mana or slow mo or increase my speed or whatever. At the end of the day games are entertainment and you should be able to tweak things to better enjoy it.
(I know mods exist but those are a mixed bag in terms of if they exist and what they support)
Moving Out has this. Even though I’ve never used it, I found it to be a wholesome addition to the game.
There’s a game I played last year, the name of which I now completely forget, which I never actually finished because the final boss was such a bitch that I ended up rage quitting. Even set to easy. I’d never been so angry at a game.
Watched the ending on YouTube instead.
edit: I just remembered, it was Bramble. Beautiful game, absolutely bitch hard.
I’m looking at you, Black Mesa.
How can that damn alien spider take 8.000 rockets and still kill me?
that was kena bridge of spirits for me. got all the way to the end boss and too hard.
I do miss cheat codes.
Humans have no clue about anything that has happened millions of years ago.
The so called scientists are making up stories, assumptions, and extremely wild guesses about that topic, but they would never admit it.
For example, astrophysicists know very well how flexible time itself is. But when it comes to old ages in earth’s history, all the estimates assume that everything has been working in exactly the same manner and speed as it does right now. And that’s just one of the wild guesses.
You are correct, in my opinion, and yes you are the right hand side guy in this context.
I offer the following argument:
No
But not too serious, right? 😆
