No thanks, I’m not into Pokemon

The company also said it would “accept Twitter.com as compensation">

Lol

I don’t think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

When I’m feeling too happy, I wonder how long it would be before someone found me dead. I live alone and work remotely, so my boss and coworkers might be confused or annoyed if I didn’t login to work for days, but probably wouldn’t call the police or anyone for a while. I have group chats with friends and call family, but not really on a regular schedule, so not responding for 3-4 days wouldn’t be weird. I just hope my cat would find food or eat my corpse to survive.

They do have courses, but there’s also a lot of good quizzes to evaluate your critical thinking skills at ClearerThinking.org

I don’t like porn. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

I feel like important context is that they were kids of the manager. That changes this from a bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation to something else: a bad parenting/child abuse, bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation.

Space is hard. You’re strapping something inside a big tube with basically directed explosives at the bottom, hoping it survives the trip, then subjecting it to constant radiation, huge temperature swings, and other brutal environmental factors like micrometeoroids. Just because we’ve been sending satellites and people up to space for nearly 70 years doesn’t mean it’s gotten easier; we’re just better at knowing what to expect so we can test for it. Failures in rockets or satellites or even manned spacecraft are going to happen as much as we work to prevent them.

I don’t usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?

Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it’s usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.

A 2021 survey of 44 gender nonconforming people incarcerated in New York state prisons found that three-quarters had experienced some form of sexual assault or inappropriate touching by corrections officers. Over a quarter reported being forced by an officer to perform oral sex.>

What the fuck? I wondered what the number is for cis people. Best I could find was a report from 2020 that said the total rate of sexual misconduct/harassment by staff was 12.3 per 1000 (1.23%). Versus, with a low sample size, 75% in the article’s survey. What. The. Fuck.

Dear Quora, I ate this sandwich but now I haven’t pooped in 23 days. Should I go see a doctor, or will my friend’s MLM elderberry quinoa enema rinse help?

Find porn sounds and mute the tab. Now not sure where porn music is coming from.

A garlic press - saves so much time and effort over mincing garlic with a knife because I’m not a pro chef, and can be used in about 95% of situations where you need garlic. I don’t use it when I want the garlic texture, but otherwise I just adjust the amount or the cooking time versus minced garlic. There’s some hate floating around from professional chefs, but I bought one a few years ago to try it and haven’t looked back.

Yeah, the lawyer did a great job creating “reasonable doubt.” I think if we want a justice system that defaults toward innocence, we have to be willing to let a murderer out on the streets for every 100 innocents who also walk. I’d rather have that result than jailing 100 innocents so we can catch the one murderer.

Only if the shade is high enough on the glasses. I think the recommendation for eclipses is to go shade 12 or higher, usually only used for things like carbon arc welding. Lower shades of glasses will not prevent all eye damage.

I need an adult.

Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It’s an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn’t fly it without looking like a twat.
