Better is better. Everything else is just silly pointless judgment

Aspirin is an NSAID

Known as acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the US

Eh they could do whatever they want. They could declare that “the point in time has been reached that god wanted women to be able to be priests from. His plan has always been that women were not allowed to be priests until a certain date had passed, and now that date has arrived.”

Honestly i kinda do like the feeling of having a fever. That pleasant feeling isn’t worth being sick, but i do like that feeling

If i could freeze technology at a particular era it wouldn’t be the 80s. I think i would pick some time after social media existed but before it was weaponized. So like maybe early 2010’s. Up through about the early 2010s it seemed like tech was constantly making life better, but since then it seems like tech is increasingly making life worse

Just because a show was “filmed in front of a live studio audience” that doesn’t meant it didn’t have a laugh track as well. Lots of shows filmed in front of a studio audience ALSO added tons of laugh track

An ancient cheap small laptop would do it fine. Plex or Jellyfin software

Just to clarify, are you talking about preserving stuff that was already on the Internet, or are you talking about like paper cookbooks and other digital materials? Because for Internet materials archive.org backs up the entire web, including all the recipes.

Fuckin yikes

I’d guess that’s probably true for most of them, this one is probably an outlier

We do have those things. That’s how many technologies already work.

The caller is clearly trolling

Nah, i think that’s signs of a cat in heat

Me as well. I crack up at nonsense type comedy like the eric andre show, and imo this snl skit is just plain unfunny

Russia is still profiting handsomely from oil sales, in large part due to India buying so much of it.

I don’t know what makes you think Biggie was some kind of clean cut do-gooder

I didn’t read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I’d add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.

Like:

“Hey [person’s name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I’m a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you’re a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you’ve made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you’re great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what’s needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks.”

This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted
