  • "Another day has passed and I still haven't used the notion that the height of something on a slope is equal to the horizontal distance from the start of the slope times the steepness of the slope plus the initial height of the slope off the ground." I swear people treat math as something you explicitly need to sit down and write the equations for to get any use out of instead of just, like, them being useful to make you a more logical, well-rounded thinker. It's like thinking the sole point of reading Of Mice and Men in 8th grade is so that you can randomly recite quotes from it years later.

  • The next commenter stated: "The ruling class don’t waste their time distancing themselves from qanon, they focus on furthering their class interests and emiserating the poor." Distancing themselves includes calling them out. So it sounds to me like they're saying we need to be pragmatic like the ruling class and not distance ourselves from tankies, which is absolutely not something I'm ever going to do for those slimeballs. Actively doing it like some sort of performance apropos of nothing? Sure, maybe not. But if a tankie ever tries to associate with us, they need to be given the boot over their disgusting ideals.

  • I'm not taking cues from the far-right in not denouncing our worst aspects when I see them and letting them take up shop in our spaces. I don't see the need to whataboutism to them either and will call that out, but I don't want them in spaces I'm in either.

  • You had me until "tankies". Tankies are scum and don't need defending.

  • Someone somewhere would because UBI is the capitalist techbro idea of a social safety net; it's a band-aid that doesn't address the underlying problems in a similar way to how the ACA helps but in reality is a very center-right idea that doesn't address the underlying hypercapitalist healthcare system.

  • Teletubbies is an eldritch horror story for 3-year-olds; CMV.

  • In a time of crisis where 75% of US adults are overweight or obese, it actually is a good thing that we talk to people in our lives about things we're doing to lose weight, as long as that's being used as a positive example and not a way to act superior. (Also, if eating salads makes you sad, you're doing salad wrong; iceberg lettuce with a few croutons and dressing is a salad in the same way that unseasoned broth with noodles and nothing else is soup.)

  • And more expensive while you're at it, thanks.

  • You and OP should keep in mind for all of our sakes that France is a nuclear-armed state.

  • Luigi did the unambiguously correct thing.

  • I genuinely never noticed until now how much Juliette Danielle is trying not to laugh in this scene, and in fact right after this her body starts jolting in a way that you can tell she's laughing inaudibly.

  • Lmfao, no clue why you're being downvoted so much. It's absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it's easily explained.

  • You recognize that Mastodon, the software, is developed by a non-profit called Mastodon gGmbH?

  • "Apple's new estate planning app" was one of the ones I had planned for this awful contingency.

  • Option 3 won: skip the lyrics. It won by four points (accounting for both upvotes and downvotes).

  • The slideshow says the group’s “targeting methodologies” would include creating fake Wikipedia user accounts to try to trick editors into identifying themselves by sharing personal information or clicking on malicious tracking links that can identify people who click on them. It is unclear whether this has begun.

    What a bunch of complete dipshits. That being said, there are ways to request yourself to be allowed to use a VPN when editing if these fascist threats intimidate you.

  • This is officially the last line of dialogue before the first sex scene (which I don't think has any dialogue, but which I'll watch to make sure). There's still a poll open in Day 38's shitpost, so be sure to vote there if you want to! Option 3, no lyrics, is currently winning, but Option 1 is very close. Remember that you can vote for multiple however you want to. Whatever gets decided there will be applied to all four sex scenes.

    PS: I think he's actually saying "Oh, Lisa, you're nice. Oh, yes." But I just ran with what was in the subtitles because it's barely audible, and so I can't say for sure.

  • (Adjusting for inflation in the US, $550 in 2014 would be $730 today. Thus, approximately the 5070 Ti price.)

  • Option 3: Cover no lyrics whatsoever. (ex. "I will, I will, I will" gets zero posts.)

    Pros:

    • This is technically the correct interpretation, as I started this challenge saying "every line of dialogue"; lyrics aren't dialogue.
    • No NSFW screenshots, so viewable in public.
    • The lyrics are probably among the least funny parts of this movie.

    Cons:

    • You miss out on all of the lyrics and screenshots no matter how funny they are. There are four of these in the movie, so that's at least a few months' worth of content and 10+ minutes of the film.
    • You potentially cheapen the challenge and make it feel less-than-whole, even if it's technically, pedantically correct.
