Fucking. Exactly. Tap is awesome. It's fast, it works, but just fucking standardize where it's at!

But until then, as someone who works a register, people, please, look at the machines and see if there is a very clear label on it saying TAP HERE. I don't know how every customer misses it, but they do.

I'm not hairy enough to be a bear. Forever without a box or label D:

One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:

If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.

If you convince 100 million people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.

Fairly short read effectively, it's never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it's speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.

I remember when I found out that shit was plastic. I always assumed they were organic material of some kind, like the body scrubs with the crushed up walnut shell in it (which probably has fucking microplastic in it, too). So disgusting.

This is why we need to change how shit works. It shouldn't go: company does some shit > fall out > government steps in. It should go: company has an idea > must get permission first from environmental agencies

May your enema be forever empty, and may you have always just gained 3 pounds

There are also us gays who aren't members of the church, but really wish we could be (but won't, because of gestures wildly at the church with frantic, panicked eyes)

Curious, why do you remain registered as a Republican?

Currently drunk on bourbon street in NOLA, hooked up like 5 times, and just finished 2 of something called a swamp juice and another thing called a hand grenade... I definitely need water

sigh

Unzips

I was pretty stonery in m'youth, and lemme tell you, I was not about to wake up early enough to brunch

Completely unrelated, but tonight I opened an app to look for hotels, and it greeted me with a message that I had a "0% off" coupon for my next booking

What the fuck is this place?

Same thing that's wrong with mine: the brain is really good at working collaboratively with other shit, and that means if the phone can remember the numbers your brain will happily give that task to the phone. I can remember so many number from before I had a cell, and almost none since then.

It's also got to do with repetition. We used to dial the number each time, now we almost never type the digits in, just pull up a contact (or more likely, a text from them) and hit call

Thought basically the same thing (but wasn't going to comment about it until I saw yours). I always associate this meme format with, basically, what millennials/gen z will sound like when we're old

I know the number is exaggerated for comedic effect, but it blows my silly little 'murican mind that phone numbers in the UK have variable length. All of our numbers are the same length. Country code (1), area code (757) prefix (368) and then the line number (0441). I'm sure something else might exist for super niche things or something, and we've got the 3 digit important numbers, like 911 (emergency/cops) or 988 (suicide prevention hotline), but personal numbers are always 7 digits plus the area code. It's just weird to my brain that the length can be variable within a country.

Also, try giving that example number a call...

Look, you're gonna have to face facts. People like you. Yes, your meme collection is great and mighty and powerful, but the fact that you collect all the memes that people love speaks to you. You saved those memes because you loved them, and then you selflessly decided to share them with a fledgling community to bring joy, and the people loved them. You bring joy. Santa doesn't make the toys, he delivers them. You're the lemming Santa. Stamta.

Also, you are literally famous. It might only be locally, but you are, factually, famous 'round these parts

Lmao. We all do it eventually!

I believe they were making a joke about sugar free corn

Stamets publicly acknowledging me? I can feel my Lemmy clout growing!
