I knew the lead singer had a phd in molecular biology, but how good a story would this be to tell at a party? He must have felt so vindicated.

The good sun giveth and the good sun taketh away 🤷

got into a brawl

bruh

Even if you hadn’t had insurance and they didn’t take a vacation, but one of them visited you to make sure their kid was treated well, that’s a fucking insane thing to say.

There are two different users. One got revaccinated five days ago, and a different one is talking about mNexspike

this issue was too complex for them to be able to relate

Wouldn’t want schools getting involved there at all…

Huh, good to know. I wasn’t planning on sucking my thumb, but there are probably other things to avoid with that in mind. I’ll look into that book.

Cool, I guess, that you do have a spine. Annoying that this is your line though.

Wait, I don’t speak Italian, is the meaning of porci in ingrassaporci being pork and porci in insalata di porci being pig distinguished by the lack of preposition and the formation of a compound word or is it just a known thing?

Out of curiosity, even if you do it for less than an hour a day as an adult? I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I’d be surprised if occasionally doing it after your bones have finished growing would cause huge problems. I don’t know anything about dentistry or anything relevant though, so I could totally be wrong.

That sounds like it could have been written by Pratchett

How broken are the people who work there that they can view their child prisoners fighting as entertainment?

Too many instances of den, not enough of das.

And Mr. I Cave Under Pressure is a creep.

Moreover, a similar consequence might await firms that caved-in and dropped support for DEI, I think.

I honestly think they might be at such a competitive disadvantage that they just fail as businesses. More diversity in the ways that fall under DEI also leads to diversity of perspectives, aka inventiveness, which leads to diversity of tactics, aka adaptability.

You’re right and you caught the reference, I don’t know why you were downvoted.

I was once called down to the principal’s office and told I would be expelled from my Catholic school because in spite of my catholic upbringing, I was an atheist (in the US, at a time when this was obviously illegal, given that the school accepted non catholic students of other religions). They called my dad and had me wait in the hall outside the principal’s office. For context, my dad’s an agnostic who doesn’t harbor any positive views towards the Catholic Church, but is a huge fan of educators and would always side with the teacher, no matter how unfair they were being.

My dad went straight in without acknowledging me and spoke with them inaudibly for about a minute, before the secretary came out and sent me back to class. I never heard anything about it from the school again and when my dad got home, he just said I didn’t need to worry about it. Decades later, he still won’t tell me exactly what happened, but I honestly think he might have forgotten and doesn’t want to admit it.

But it’s truly worrying how many people are just phoning it in most of the time.
