Civility had been in a downward trend since public discourse became mostly anonymized. When there are no real world consequences it’s easy to be rude and dismissive. Then, once people saw that the rudest and most dismissive tactics were the most popular online, the same behavior spread offline.

I detest USB flash drives. Most unreliable form of data storage I’ve ever owned.

They shortened the name of PTFE to Teflon because they wanted to sell it. Once there’s a market for frontotemporal dementia it will get a short name too.

I hope he eats them.

BTW, If one was already profoundly hypothermic, would it be unwise to fart?

Assuming the ambient air temperature is cold enough to induce hypothermia, farting is fine. Bringing cold air into the body is the problem. You’d be better off if you stopped breathing.

This helped me in the past, and of a good place to start.

You’re tipping too much.

In Michigan we passed a law requiring minimum wage for all tipped workers by 2030(?), and they FLIPPED THEIR SHIT. Said they would lose too much money in tips if they made minimum wage. The republicans rolled it back below minimum (still a small increase), and I’m not sure where it stands right now.

If tipped workers are going to fight against wage increases so much, then I’m okay reducing their tips.

BLASPHEMER!!!

Norway is getting 1000% tariffs until Trump gets his prize.

Where are people getting all these notes? I don’t have any notes, and [checks notes] THERE’S NOTHING HERE!

If you’re in the market for an electronic safe, here’s a list of brands to skip:

Beyond Liberty Safe, Securam ProLogic locks are used by a wide variety of safe manufacturers including Fort Knox, High Noble, FireKing, Tracker, ProSteel, Rhino Metals, Sun Welding, Corporate Safe Specialists, and pharmacy safe companies Cennox and NarcSafe, according to Omo and Rowley’s research. The locks can also be found on safes used by CVS for storing narcotics and by multiple US restaurant chains for storing cash.

Oxygen plasma sounds like something that could very easily set something else on fire.

I’ll probably be just another Boltzmann Brain.

“I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!”

Is this a Buckaroo Banzai post? I feel like this is a Buckaroo Banzai post.

Your question presupposes that everyone is a Christian, and it takes a conscious effort to reject that. It my be hard for you to see it, but that’s a problem with your worldview.

Who could have known the Four Corners of the Flat Earth would form a 2-dimensional manifold inside a 3-dimensional flat earth?

I’m going to tell you what I did. Don’t take mental health advice from some asshole in the internet.

I had two extra voices in my head. One would wait for me to be alone, and then bring up all the minutia in my life I was embarrassed about. The other would bring up my most depressing moments and just groan in my ear and distract me.

The first one I built a cabin for, and put him in it. Whenever I would think about one of those embarrassing moments, I’d put it in a plastic garbage bag, open the door to the cabin, and throw the bag as hard as I could into his face. Gradually I needed him less and less. Eventually he disappeared, so I just put the garbage bags in a can outside the door. Nobody lives there now, and the cabin has decayed into just a rough mound of dirt. The flowers from the window-box are growing in the mound.

I was more viscous with the other one. Every time he showed up, I imagined grabbing him by the neck and just pummeling his face bruised and bloody. Eventually he disappeared too.

I can remember those embarrassing moments or the causes of my depression without hurt now. They don’t have power over me anymore.
