  • I like the metaphor where you deny someone's dietary/moral choices, essentially made them party to a grave sin in their eyes, rob them of their ability to consent, and then laugh at them when they're upset about it. It's really fucking telling.

  • Compressed air. Used to clean electronics. You can also use it to get high (which is what is being implied is happening here) with some very serious side effects.

  • Late Qing-era Britain was all sorts of fucked up!

  • On one hand, it's a dumb joke and I'd normally upvote. On the other, should I reward a Brit for purposefully ignoring cultural significance when it's minorly inconvenient to them? Stinks of colonist. Decisions decisions.

  • South Koreans hunt for old LG air-conditioners after logos turn out to be pure gold

  • I actually think the metaphor doesn't really work when applied literally, except in the tautological sense. Banditry was a very poor lifestyle, only engaged in by the truly desperate.

  • Imagine a 4D object if you think human imagination is limitless. Good luck

  • Woman charged after Mississippi Walmart shoppers say they found razor blades in loaves of bread

    Jump

  • Why is this local, low-level news story being pushed at a national level?

    Someone put razor blades in bread and was caught before anyone was hurt. Cool, why is this news?

  • The people who made out like bandits during the 1849 gold rush sold panning equipment and shovels. This is the modern version of that.

  • Sounds like a plan

  • Practical Magic does sound weird when you describe it like that.

  • TIL: A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus

    Jump

  • Yeah, most planets have the same rotation direction as orbital direction (counter-clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise orbit) but Venus rotates clockwise.

  • Anyone been there?

  • "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." Dumbass

    Jump

  • Is it possible that your interpretation is valid? I mean, sure, but it's not likely. People's choice of phrases often shows their thought process. "If you can't do the time..." is a phrase that's often used to emphasize personal responsibility in a given situation. That, paired with the emphasis but reversal of the key phrase from the headline, strongly implies that this person thinks that it's the failings of those convicted (ie, they did the crime) for their convictions, rather than the police.

    The interpretation you bring to the comment is less likely for three reasons. One, a person agreeing with the headline but adding emphasis that the cops need to be held accountable would likely mention the cops somewhere in their comment (only people mentioned are "criminals" ("can't do the time")). Two, people most likely to be critical of cops are likely to want to talk about the systemic failures rather than individual failings (talking about conviction rates for DAs or case closure rates for cops or just plain racism being a large contributing factor). Three, and this is the big one, the most likely comments on Facebook are going to be from those who disagree with whatever is being shown since Facebook feeds you content based on what causes you to engage the most and anger is the most common reason for engagement.

  • Heracles or Hercules is a Greek tragic character who at one point murders his wife and child when in a rage. Thinking Disney's Hercules is an accurate portrayal is where they messed up in describing their character, and both the DM and history buff know it, but the DM won't let them ruin the surprise.

  • Solid Rs is probably better than hard Rs. Was wondering why the hell you were throwing around a slur for a hot second. Either the R word or N word.

  • Panchen Lama says reincarnation must follow Chinese laws, be endorsed by Beijing

    Jump

  • No matter how silly you think someone else's religion is, you don't get to dictate what others believe or how they get to believe. China has effectively made a religion functionally extinct with their actions. No matter how you slice it, it's a loss for humanity.
