Alright Nixon's head, let's get you to bed.

I hope you aren't talking about people using gish gallop.

Well, it's probably true. Although easier to confirm sometimes, information across the internet still is often a big game of telephone. Some people treat internet info like UDP and just accept what they get, some people are TCP and will fact check before accepting it.

This person probably did just hear it from a buddy.

I've heard dame used more often than bird myself. Honestly, not sure I've actually heard bird used... it's like a vague sense of "I think I knew that.... right?" and my brain shrugs back.

I mean the last time I did something similar (many many years ago) it just have me a stronger understanding that not everyone has the same experience as me, tastes matter, and that that's OK. It calmed me down a bit on gushing about stuff.

Most survival builders that use natural resources. I'd see flowers I think I should gather, or trees I could chop down for wood, etc

I mostly don't ever answer calls I don't recognize, and even the ones I do I don't often answer if I'm at work etc. I've only answered calls when it's for something important being delivered, fixed, or scheduled (recent examples in same order: TV, Internet, renting a place(less recent, but all I could think of)).

Great, now I'm fighting metal dinosaurs.

There were accusations filed, perhaps not directly against Trump but instead his administration, and maybe not by the ACLU directly citing Genocide but instead human rights. The connection is mentioned by them at least: https://www.acluga.org/en/publications/shut-it-down-civil-rights-lawyers-detention-center-accused-forced-sterilization-0

I wouldn't say using just the ACLU means it didn't occur, and I don't know what your definition of charged is. Here are some others:

My brother and I (mostly him, just helped a small bit) used to distribute Anime this way. He'd buy laserdiscs of Anime like Rurouni Kenshin (OVA/Prequel)and Yu Yu Hakushou, then download translations for subtitles and time them on the computer, using a bluescreen pass through and onto some SVHS VCRs. From those two SVHS VCRs, he'd use 9 others to copy them onto VHS tapes for distribution via mail. He'd charge cost iirc, not making profit on it.

I'm 100% sure it would be considered piracy if the companies had a way to find out. Plus VHS tapes had piracy warnings on them back then anyway.

He meant what he said. The plane is the hors d'oeuvre.

Xkcd did a what if on a black hole moon (getting it to collapse into one may be impossible, but a black hole the mass of the moon is theoretically stable), and it has the same conclusion, except just slightly colder instead of slightly frozen. And by slightly, I mean almost imperceptible.

Japan does too, at least from all the manga etc I've read. Not in meters either, just cm.

I think it describes the person imo. Masons(profession), carpenters are useful jobs that help society, and honey is a food source so again a productive addition. Bumble is kinda cute but is dopey, so I'll give them that. However the wasps are all "chad" in this person's eyes as they are killers. Killers have a limited place, which is usually killing other killers. Still, a lot of the time killers add a whole ton of detriment as well. They really shouldn't be idiolized.

You know the ICE camps that sterilized people and had Trump portraits about winning the war? Sterilizing women of a group you oppress is in the definitions of Genocide, so he absolutely did. He also recommended other genocidal things, but because he can be convinced by the last general who spoke to him, they didn't put those plans into place.

If I eat cilantro by itself and focus on the idea of it tasting like soap, I can kinds taste it. It still tastes good to me, just with a hint of soapiness. It's not enough to ruin it for me, and I have to be looking for it.

I get exhausted with my long-windedness while I am still talking. Still, a lot of my friends either don't mind it, or use my explicitly given permission to just interrupt me if it's an issue.

Nah, the way Microsoft and Edge work still enrages me. I just use both Chrome and Firefox atm, with Chrome behind my VPN and Firefox split tunneled. I'm still on 10, but when I have the freedom to do so I'm going to switch to Linux. I can't just up and do it at the moment because I work through my computer and also game through it, so I need to have a ton of things ensured workable before I switch. That requires time and testing, and in an ideal environment a second system to run in parallel, which I cannot do atm.

I've heard our work may be purchasing work laptops for us, so I might be able to do my switch then.

Wrong type of beeping, though I mistook it for that too. They mean an alert similar to the seat belt or door audible alerts. People who have some sort of device from their insurance ro monitor their driving get some types of beeps like this already (stuff like decelerating to hard).

I dunno, why do you guys keep asking me?
