  • Wouldn't it be great if didn't just have to fear school shootings, but also kids getting accidentally tased because they popped some bubble gum?!?

  • Blocking search terms is not a substitute for proper content moderation.

    Meta acknowledged in a statement to The Washington Post that Threads is intentionally blocking the search terms and said that other terms are being blocked, but the company declined to provide a list of them. A search by The Post discovered that the words “sex,” “nude,” “gore,” “porn,” “coronavirus,” “vaccines” and “vaccination” are also among blocked words.

  • My son is in his senior year of high school. Every day our mailbox has at least 1 glossy brochure from a college. The other day Yale sent a 100 page one. He's probably going to study in Europe :p

  • There’s an opioid shortage too and for the same apparent reason: the federal government setting limits on manufacturers.

    I don't know much about the opioid shortage, but for Adderall it seems to be more complicated than just the quotas.... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-02-28/are-adderall-dea-quotas-contributing-to-the-shortage

    If a manufacturer asks for an increased quota and the DEA denies it, they have to do so publicly, with a notice. Guess what, no notices.

    Another source:

    Shortages, particularly of generic drugs, have been a longstanding problem. The industry has consolidated and some manufacturers have little incentive to solve shortages because cheap generics generate thin profits.

  • The "necessity defense" stuff: I tried all the other avenues and nothing happened, I had to turn off this oil pipeline.

  • I was watching some anime on hulu and this ad for dishwasher detergent came on:

    I used to wait to run my dishwasher until it was full, but now I run it all the time [..] sometimes even after a snack. You might think that's wasteful, but it's not, because even half loads use 80% less water than hand washing.

    I'm so mad. What are they thinking?!? "We hope you suck at basic math and will buy more of our product and fuck the environment!"

  • Statista is a website that steals data from everywhere, it's not a source as they don't do any research.

  • Thanks for sharing! The last time I picked nameservers was quite a while ago and I just went with fastest ping times :p

    OpenDNS turned out to be the fastest for me.

  • You can eat any mushroom.... At least once.

  • This always cracked me up:

    The brand is not named after the famous St. Pauli neighbourhood in Hamburg, which is home to one of the world's largest entertainment and red light districts. Rather, the name comes from the former St. Paul's Friary [de] in Bremen, which was next to the original brewery established in 1857 by Lüder Rutenberg. There are currently three brands of beer brewed: St. Pauli Girl Lager, St. Pauli Girl Special Dark and St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage. The beer is only produced for export and is not sold in Germany.

  • Proudly representing the people who brought you the Opioid Epidemic™️

  • This was driving me crazy.... at least I know why now.

  • The death penalty is super expensive, no doctors or pharmacies want to participate, it's been proven to be a lousy deterrent, it's not applied fairly, ... No wonder he loves it.
