Seriously. I had to drive through Texas a few months ago, and not only was I shocked at how you can have 6 lanes in both directions STILL being in bumper-to-bumper traffic with constant 'construction zones' that were adding another lane into the shoulder.

I wasn't sure if the construction was to actually help, or just so they could charge double fines for speeding ALL the time.

And I'm sure this in no way will invade people's privacy.

"Hmm, why is the anti-queer politician sitting next to me being served dozens of male underwear ads? Hmmmm..."

"Why is my daughter receiving ads for newborn diapers? Hmmm..."

"Why is my neighbor receiving ads for anger management? Hmmm..."

Celsius is how hot water feels. Fahrenheit is how hot humans feel.

One is clearly more applicable for day-to-day life.

I mean, that is still what I mean. For you - it sounds like a great choice. For the people who want it to die, it might be an awful choice. It's polarizing, but that doesn't always mean good. It's hard to make an informed decision even with a popular choice.

At this point, all I know that "I use Arch btw" is a meme, which means it's either a great choice or an awful choice.

Please no. I didn't upgrade to Windows 11 on purpose. I'm just trying to hold out as long as I can until I'm forced to switch to Linux. I don't want to have to deal with more enshittification in the meantime.

I'm still sad that we didn't use 'Ultra', which means 'beyond' or 'on the far side of'. Huge missed opportunity to be called Ultragender instead.

Prices will continue to go up until the number of subscribers lost due to the price increase outweighs the additional profit from the subscribers who agree to pay the higher amount.

Capitalism machine goes brrrrrrr

Just don't call anyone 'cis'. That's a crime punishable by ~~death ~~ account deletion.

"Well, it's all bullshit, but as long as I'm in power, you have nothing to worry about" -every religious leader ever

ahem The deity he follows says that he should turn the other cheek and not only allow it to happen again, but to happily and freely provide the opportunity. You can still call him hypocritical.

You can create a partition on your hard drive and set your PC up to dual-boot. I have no idea if this is still widely used or if there is another, better/easier way, but it's what I did a long time ago for a hat simulator game.

I agree that those studies should be done. Studies should ALSO be done on people with unvaccinated covid infections, but we can't do that on a large number of people, because they're dead. The vaccinated people might have a 'non-zero risk for blood clots', but they're still alive in the meantime.

Or the technology for invisibility arrives before time travel so they were there, just undetected. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

He was surprisingly good at creating devastating nicknames for people that would cut them down to a single flaw. A lot of his path wasn't to be the best candidate, but to ruin everyone else's reputations.

But now when he's falling asleep in his criminal trial on almost a daily basis, it's hard for quips like "Sleepy Joe" to have the same effect. Or when he's asking for Biden to be drug tested before the debate when he's the one with the White House that was referred to as being "awash in speed". It's always been projection, but he isn't able to distract everyone fast enough anymore.

Completely agree. I understand that as of now, Queue has stepped down as a mod, but I hope that at such a time in the future where their mental health is better that they will return. The ability to say, 'You're right. I'm too stressed to properly do this right now. Here's what I'll do instead' is incredibly appreciated.

That's the kind of person I WANT as a mod, provided that they actually take the time to de-stress, reflect and come back as a better person.

This was the same reaction I had when the Covid vaccines were rolling out. "They haven't been proven to be 100% safe and effective!" OK. Sure, but you know what is guaranteed to be bad for you? Covid. There are two choices here, and there's a clear mitigation of harm with one option over the other.

It's shocking that we'd rather see children die of treatable vitamin deficiencies than the off-chance that the food 'might be unsafe'.

So, in the screenshot where it says it was "submitted by [deleted]": I can't be 100%, but I'm pretty sure that's what it looks like when the post was deleted entirely. It wasn't a 'blank' post. It was a rant against GIMP in the GIMP subreddit as someone else posted here.
