  • Don’t feel bad, fungi. Lots of people informally lump you in with plants. It’s not personal.

  • At least someone can argue that caffeine serves a purpose. If you want to stay wired, there ya go, and it isn’t nearly as addictive as nicotine. You’re right about flavored vapes, though. That’s some bullshit.

  • Hey, I’m down with a threesome

  • She also has what is arguably the best line in the movie.

  • But others will pay for your data. They’ll collect it all anyway. Even if anonymized, it’s still valuable.

  • My god I just glanced quickly and thought it was 2.99. Asking 12.99 is an absolute joke.

  • I’d think the bed was ugly, but I wouldn’t say a damn thing. I’d just use those big toes for leverage.

  • I’m very glad I actually did a little bit of research on the candidates for the school board in my area. One was focused on test scores, but also ā€œslashingā€ costs (and yes, I put ā€œslashingā€ in quotes because that was the actual word the candidate used in the article I read). Hmm.

    The other had done volunteer work, and talked about strengthening the community.

    Guess who I voted for?

  • I actually had to pause a movie once and re-explain that that I’d never seen it before, either.

    edit: the amount of upvotes this comment has gotten both validates and saddens me

  • What’s with the ā€œgothā€ pic? I’ve hardly seen any of Enterprise. Was there a time travel episode he was in or something?

  • It took me weeks to get used to the fact that I didn’t have to expect aggressive negativity, and to realize that it was okay to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought I knew how toxic and negative reddit had become, but I didn’t really get it until I compared it to Lemmy.

  • The title alone is a great reason to investigate broadband prices.

  • No wiggle room whatsoever. Under any circumstances.

    Whenever I’m short on cash, I show up unannounced at my local hospital with a roll of duct tape, some pliers, or whatever other tools I have lying around. (Between you and me, I’m usually drunk, too.)

    I ā€œfixā€ anything that looks broken. They are legally obligated to pay me for my services. I made about $27,000 last year. I could have made more if it wasn’t for all that community service taking up my time. Fuck you, Judge Anderson!

  • State lawmakers gave regulators the authority to inspect funeral homes without the owners’ consent last year, but no additional money was provided for increased inspections.

    But this way, politicians can say they addressed the problem when campaign time rolls around! The system works!

  • That dipshit was so close to getting it, yet so far.

    Menthol cigarette advertising was/is targeted heavily to black people. It’s possible that banning menthol will give people the nudge they need to quit, so it could end up helping black people more than average.

  • I’ve only seen two or three videos from this guy, but I like him. He’s thoughtful and tackles complex issues intelligently, but keeps things accessible.

    I also appreciate him introducing me to the phrase ā€œBlack Lives Marketingā€. It’s great to have a phrase for insincere empathy and inclusion done solely for profit.

  • He’s done other videos from his recliner. His home studio seems to have an office-type chair.

  • At that stage, it’s still a farteus.

  • Yes. I had a science teacher devote a significant portion of a day’s lecture to that exact subject: the difference between accuracy and precision. You got it right.

    For example, if you have a digital scale that displays weight to five decimal points, it’s precise. If that scale hasn’t been properly calibrated, though, it will give you a very precise number that isn’t accurate.
