Artist’s rendering for the uninitiated:

Not arbitrary. Base 10 because we usually have 10 fingers and those are useful for learning counting. If you have to choose a base, 10 is a good option for humans.

Right but it says “the skin of a discarded pineapple” — meaning the pineapple was discarded, not the skin. Just a silly grammar joke.

Why was the pineapple discarded? They could have eaten it 😭

The rice paper can get a little soggy and the noodles turn kind of hard/chewy like refrigerated rice. Still edible but definitely much better at room temperature and eaten within a few hours.

Neither the gun alone nor the person alone would have killed. Therefore, the dangerous thing is the COMBINATION of gun + person. In conclusion, we shouldn’t ban guns, just make it illegal for people to interact with them in any way.

If you’re a procrastinator it can help to use that “skill” to incentivize stuff like reading. I habitually put off going to sleep, so I’ll read as a way to delay bedtime. If I want to avoid working on a big ongoing frustrating project at work I’ll do a bunch of little work tasks to put it off. Using that desperation to do literally anything else to avoid a particular task kind of feels like a superpower!

It will never be exactly the same, but I feel lucky to have found something that captures at least part of the feeling of what Reddit used to be like. There’s the potential for it to grow into something just as cool in its own way, or maybe even better. And for now, it scratches that culture and discussion itch well enough that I don’t feel the need to wade back in to Reddit at all except for searching for specific answers to niche questions.

If I paint a study of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, even though I painted it it’s NOT my art. Trying to sell a reproduction without acknowledgment that I’m not the original artist is forgery and fraud.

The medal is actually made of chocolate. The rumor is if you steal and eat someone’s nobel prize you absorb their power.

Ostrich rodeo? Rancher? Member of Jackass?

I mean it’s not hollowed out and literally filled with them, but we do have SOME cassowaries.

I suspect many survey respondents were right for the wrong reason, or vice-versa. I have two dinosaurs in my house right now.

Do you understand your opponent’s argument well enough to phrase it in words they would agree with? Because this seems like a gross mischaracterization that leads me to think you’re either ignorant of why someone would be happy he’s dead, or you’re deliberately lying.

So give it a try… why would a rational person actually be glad Kirk is dead? You can disagree with the reasons, but if you can’t even ARTICULATE them, I’d argue you’re the one who is either an idiot or a psychopath.

Block individiual porn subs / instances as they pop up. Eventually you end up with minimal porn.

Fuck! Shit!

If Mamdani was running as a third party spoiler candidate? Absolutely.

He could have just kept his damn mouth shut about it. I was nauseated watching that video.

If the concern is about the longevity and reputation of the quack institution, you could point her to a woo factory with accreditation and a better reputation among the crystal crowd, like Naropa in Boulder, CO.

I’m going to hold your hand while I say this, and I mean it with all love and sincerity. Have you been to a doctor recently? You sound schizophrenic.
