It’s all real if thats what you’re asking

Yeah i remember reading how, when telling/making up stories chat gpt loves to say that characters “smirked” which is a very fanfiction/online erotica thing.

Also cool - the Spanish word for jeans is vaquero. So the English word for vaccine and the spanish word for blue jeans are both derived from the Latin word for “cow”. I always thought that was neat.

I’m not crying for the banks, but that’s why they don’t just give out loans to anyone.

That’s not completely true, because it depends on the future value of your house. Plenty of banks got burned in the early 2000s when they gave out too many loans and then all of a sudden the houses weren’t worth what people owed on them.

Casually Explained makes that joke lol

“You know, back in high school I had the biggest crush on you”

“Why didnt you tell me?!”

“Well… I am telling you now …”

“Ahh but I needed to know thennn”

Legitimately surprised Pussy Riot is still active in Russia I remember them stirring up trouble like 10 years ago. Good for them although I’m concerned for their well-being…

Edit: oh that makes more sense I didn’t catch that they are in Italy I thought they were actually in Russia

Just make sure you defecate in the woods as nature intended!

It’s … Really a pretty reasonable requirement. Yes, voter fraud is very rare etc etc but I think it matters psychologically. It’s kinda like how a lot of the airline safety talk is there to reassure the passengers. If voters have to get their ids checked to vote it might instill some more confidence in the system.

Yeah we can just call it GIMP for short

Solar panels are a classic “it takes money to make money” example. Pretty expensive up front. I feel like that’s the main reason.

I thought it was just that he didn’t need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha

Honestly I wouldn’t sweat it. It’s more something that seems gross than is actually going to make you sick. Pretty much ANY high traffic surface in public is gonna have way more pathogens on it than something in your house. And breathing the same air as your roommate is more likely to get you sick than touching something that they’ve touched. Still kinda gross though.

Yep, I’ve always thought that. It’s actually very sneaky of health officials, they are exploiting people’s perception of how filthy going to the bathroom is to get them to wash their hands more. Ends justify the means I guess…

Idk if the Nazgul can see that though

Delicious! Finally, some good fucking content.

Those would be harder too though. Right now we humans don’t have a material strong enough and the higher the gravity the stronger the material you would need.

Should have just used bleach if they don’t care about it actually being a viable treatment. Or, for that matter, we’ve already invented spermicidal foam…

I was a donor to that project, and right now I think there are still concerns about the long-term reversibility. The project isn’t dead but I doubt we will see it as a readily available option for the public within the next decade, if ever.

He is also not eliminating research, a lot of research projects are closing but this seems to be more of a re-org.

Some jobs will change and some employees will be asked to move to new locations, according to a March 31 email that Thomas M. Schultz, Jr., the Forest Service chief, sent to employees of the research and development section.

“The consolidation of research stations does not mean a retreat from the agency’s research mission,” Mr. Schultz said in the email. “Forest Service R&D has produced world-class science for over a century, and that will continue. The consolidation is about organizing the research enterprise more efficiently, not diminishing it.”
