  • Did you just assume my phyla?

  • Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.

    So if you're a biologist, no, if you're an anthropologist, yes.

    Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.

  • The taxonomy puts us right about the same, splitting after phylum. That being said, a shrimp looks a hell of a lot more like a silverfish than I do like a carp.

    Well, depending on my general state of health.

  • I was a medaled fencer years ago. I'm currently.picking it up again, and there is nothing quite like it. If there's a local class near you, pick it up. It's arguably the most fun combat sport there is.

  • A second hand drum kit will be more reliable than a second hand power washer, so you could get a washer with gift cards and then look for a good deal on a drum kit.

    That being said, playing drums makes you more fun and interesting. Having a power washer makes you more likely to be asked to clean things.

  • In most settings I would be inclined to agree, but in specific settings, like the community this was originally posted in, acceptance and comfort is the point.

    You may have seen this from World, but it was posted on blahaj.

    In this particular instance, it seems less like you were approached on the street and told to speak differently, and more like some people were having a meeting and you walked in and told them to stop making a scene.

  • I have no experience with it and can't claim to know, but the privacy advocate in me tells me it can use everything because it wants access to everything so it can datamine from every app at once.

    Again, I don't know this specific app, but literally every other non Foss app is just a front for granted permissions.

  • Language is always evolving, and for a term as long standing as pet, with such wide use, it's no longer an incorrect use of the word. Pet as a past participle aligns with the use of similar words like bet and set, and on a cultural basis petted sounds like the way a little kid speaks.

  • If I recall correctly, only one of the heads likes to be pet. Don't lose a hand.

  • It's the main reason I don't care for 80s-00s east coast comics. It's too hard to tell if they're going for shock comedy or are actually as dumb as they're telling us.

  • Sepparate utensils into three groups. Prep and baking tools should be near the largest counter space. Cooking tools should be near the stove. Single use tools should be near the curb.

  • I feel like the term has been bastardised away from what the literal words mean, being able to sense humor. So in that context, a good sense of humor would be a chill person who knows how to find absurdity in a situation rather than taking things seriously.

    A fun person, in other words.

    As for the more modern use, I would say someone who can make regular conversations and events entertaining, while avoiding low hanging fruit and what I consider lazy jokes, jokes based on discrimination and stereotypes.

    Like, it's not cool or nice to make sexist and racist jokes, but on a totally different level, it's lazy joke writing. Wife bad Asian driving black criminal is hack shit that relies on ancient cliches for a punchline, and is generally missing very key parts to approach humor in exchange for getting white dudes in trucks to chuckle and say yeah.

  • A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

    This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.

  • Guaranteed this just turns Honda into Nissan quality

  • Not advertised at children, though

  • I bet we could tweak the language to be pretty persuasive. Those guys are known for believing some bullshit youtube ideas.

  • Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.

    Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I'm an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.

    None of this helps you crosspost, I'm aware.

  • First order: Greed Crimes

    Any white collar crime done for the sole benefit of enriching one or siphoning money away from citizens or workers.

    Regulatory capture, pyramid schemes, political bribery, hidden tax havens, environmental distruction, writing bills like citizens united, cutting social services, forming monopolies, competition buyouts, blatant conflicts of interest, etc.

    We have hate crimes, when something is done out of hatred for a people it is given the harshest penalty because it hurts an entire group.

    The thing is, greed crimes ruin the lives of thousands and millions, possibly everyone, and in my opinion should be capital offenses.

    We need an investigative oversight committee that stop all functions of a person or company while looking into accusations. If found guilty, a company is dismantled, an individual is executed, their will is ignored and all assets are liquidated and used to remedy the situation that was created.

    If found not guilty, you're closely monitored by the greed crime committee for an agreed period. If you are accused of three sepparate greed crimes and different times, even if found not guilty, you should be considered a bad faith potential, and exiled or removed from any position of power.

  • Not in the last few years. They took the hard price off the can designs and now they're 1.39-1.69 depending on the place.
