  • I once used $1k caviar as a topping for a Papa John's pizza. It was delicious.

  • I don't know science very well. But this reminds me of when I tried whiskey stones because people insisted it was better than ice. Well, the stones are bullshit. Maybe this is too.

  • Promising a deal that includes citizenship, a house, a salary, and an administrative position to a Nazi scientist in exchange for their work and knowledge such that one's country can gain ground in a cold war is absolutely fine. It's absolutely totally fine.

    Following through with the deal after getting the goods from the Nazi is not. Shoot the Nazi. You always shoot the Nazi.

  • Really? Because it only showed up once in my feed. So I guess I'm glad they cross posted 8 times. Thanks, OP!

    Also, this is fucked up. Abortion should be available on demand without apology.

  • Well that's just a distinction between ostensible intention and realistic application of the word. Sure, you're right, but they'd never admit it lol.

  • Ads have never stopped me. Reasonable pricing to access content stopped for me for several years tho. Fuck you, Zaslav.

  • Short term profits making quarterly reports look better to stakeholders. Isn't that how 80% of these bigwigs get their job in the first place? We should be calling it the Zaslav Model at this point 😂.

  • "and you can't make her."

    Fantastic. Made me actually laugh. Thank you.

  • True, tho I personally think the term takes on a slightly different nuance when applied to something without sentience. We can't hunt easter eggs in the "kill them" sense because they've already been prepped. There's nothing to kill.

  • Honestly, the term is antiquated beyond just being gendered. We say hunt when we really mean search and capture.

    And people make jokes about this but it really can matter. If someone hears there's a manhunt for Sam Jones, they are more likely to assume it's a man. It could be a Woman, tho, and using gender neutral terms could help prevent false assumptions.

  • For adults, it's under-diagnosed. Because some of the most common prescriptions for it are stimulants like Adderall, there is a fear that adults are trying to scam the doctor. Additionally, and imo even more infuriatingly, doctors are apprehensive about diagnosing an adult because "you made it this far in life without needing help. You can't be ADHD/autistic/neurodivergent." Fuck that mentality. I'm ADHD and autistic and I don't need a doctor to validate me when they can't even agree amongst themselves half the time.

  • Good call. Gotta keep them in sight.

  • Only the last year or so. We had a special thing on the ballot because Republicans were sure it wouldn't pass. It did but still has that noon stipulation.

    And side rant here but I'm sick of local people acting like I'm an alcoholic for this bothering me. No, I don't need to drink before noon. I do however schedule my grocery shopping for Sundays before noon as I am a mail carrier with Sunday being my only permanent day off. And I shop in the morning while everyone is at church to beat the crowds. Having to go back out hours later for only alcohol is bullshit.

  • Can't buy beer or wine at Walmart before noon on Sundays. But there's totally a war on Christianity here lol.

  • Oh, ok. Yeah, that's it. Thanks.

  • Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they've been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they're being accused of succeeding 😂.

  • I agree. Once I realized the distinction, tho, I'm still happy. Having the authorization in hand when negotiating, especially after taking into account the current double strike, will presumably give them more leverage than ever. I'm cool not having any new media for a couple years if it saves the industry.
