If you deconstruct 90% of jokes with any crude aspect, they tend to turn out like that.

People don’t literally turn into female fish when getting sexually assaulted in prison. Implying they do was the joke.

Got a source for that? It’s pretty easy to manually make controllers vibrate until you tell them to stop

So is murder, theft, lying, death etc when it’s being told in a joke to an accepting audience.

If you mean to say you think he was saying it with implied quotations, no, he wasn’t. Neither his voice nor body language show that.

I saw someone say that he clearly meant to say “stop protecting pedophiles”, but I don’t know if they were saying it sarcastically or not.
It’d be pretty funny if that’s what he meant, though. “And we gotta stop protecting the pedophiles! C’mon, you’ve been doing it, I’ve been doing it, let’s just all agree to knock it off.”

Unironically I’m all against this. Unless you’re harming others, please dont work through your stuff at all, especially in a weird way.

Believing there is no reincarnation is just a religious dogma of Christianity
I don’t know that that’s true.
We as a society don’t know what happens when we die, conscious-wise. To state “we definitely do come back” or “we definitely don’t” would be incorrect, just like saying “there’s definitely aliens” vs “there definitely are not”.
However, we can use evidence we’ve gathered over thousands of years of existence and make assumptions. Unless I’m mistaken, there’s little evidence that has been accepted by the scientific community (Western or Eastern) to support reincarnation, so to say that “we don’t come back” is a Christian dogma is a little unfair.
To be clear I don’t have a strong opinion on reincarnation. I’ve heard compelling stories that are hard to explain otherwise, but I feel like we’d have been able to gather at least some concrete data on it over the span of our existence.

- Comment on A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning them 2 weeks ago:
Our libraries have mostly moved away from this model. I may have some details mixed up but I believe there was a study done that showed books were more likely to be returned without the late fee than with a fee.
Basically people will feel ashamed or embarrassed to return a book so late (or maybe in extreme cases cannot easily afford the couple dollars) so they end up stealing the book and never returning it. So now the library has to buy a $10 book because someone couldn’t pay the $5 late fee. It just makes more sense in the long run to let people bring the book back late without penalty vs not bring it back at all in fear of a fee.

Also your library will just buy more copies. Which means your taxes will go up to pay for the missing books.
Lolno. Libraries are getting funds cut. They will not buy a new copy, it will become unavailable, then those that would go to a library to borrow it no longer can, so they find it online, and the right can say “see? Nobody goes to libraries anyways”.

You mean the song “Stan” by Eminem, where he talks about a guy named Stan who is a fan of something (in this case a famous person)? “[term] Stan” has been a thing for a couple years now. It was a song about an obsessive fan who doesn’t understand parasocial relationships, but the term has grown to a much broader usage.
Don’t be such a Stan Stan, sheesh 🙄

- Comment on Hidden volume equalizers, whether in the OS, the audio player or the music. Also those players that skip the first second of music 5 weeks ago:
Re: first second skips. My old old car had a shitty aftermarket Bluetooth stereo that, to “save power” or whatever, would stop transmitting after a period of silence. However, it’s definition of a “period” is very generous - a split second pause for effect in a song was enough to trigger the cutoff. So any songs that had that dramatic crescendo to silent sound would get a few extra seconds.

Mate these are phenomenal. This is my favorite one so far.
You can tell that you’re learning/ getting a little better with each one, too. They’re obviously silly animations but the quality on this guy vs the first few is very noticeable.

My client also doesn’t have playback control on gifs, so I can’t pause or rewind. So I end up watching each episode like 12 times haha. It’s a good thing the animations are so clean and appealing to the eye
