Adaptive headlights only recently became legal in the US.

The vast majority of what we do is just trying to get the body to a spot where it can manage the issue itself because we don’t have the means to do it ourselves.
Personalized medicine is the frontier that everyone has been trying to break into since the race to decode the human genome. What a lot of people don’t realize is that for every drug that goes to market there are thousands of promising candidates that are shelved due to a small population of adverse effects.
Now imagine what we can do if we can screen for those effects. Overnight the market would be flooded with powerful, effective medications with much fewer side effects. And that’s just medical drugs.

Actually by sheer volume they were taking all the horse paste away from the horses who needed it so rural supply stores had to lock down their supplies for only people who could prove they owned livestock.

They’re saying that critiquing is much easier when there aren’t nazis in power.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.

One of my favorites

Does any part of this suggest otherwise?

I used to be completely sober all the way through my 30s. I tried things later and they really helped me see life from different angles. I didn’t try shrooms until I felt I was ready. They are easily one of the best things that ever happened to me. I would not suggest trying them unless you feel comfortable, are in a very familiar environment, and you have a trustworthy, caring friend to keep you company.

I actually really like Bookie.

Asking Lost to give you answers is the reason none of us talk about Lost.

Have you ever considered that trans people are the reason that we don’t keep progressing forever? /s

I got a driver from the airport to my hotel in Rome. I decided that in Rome you’re allowed to break one law at a time while driving. So you could drive on the wrong side of the road but you still had to respect that red traffic light unless you got back onto the right side of traffic.

Comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love my Zojirushi. There’s a reason they’re a standard wedding present in Japan. Super high quality and buy-it-for-life.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

Combined with the various bold statements and it paints quite a picture of just how controlling this person is.

Good lord, how many armpits do you have!?
- Comment on Make a note 2 months ago:
You can’t consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?

It’s absolutely plausible. I know a guy who posts just like this.

Somebody wants to drink their coffee out of Marvin The Martian and this poster is committed to not let anyone enjoy such a thing.

“There are worse grifts” is not the discussion point you think it is.

I go to a lot of estate sales. A subset of the customers are people who have Airbnbs and are there for furniture and decorations.

Your statement dodges the point in many ways.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 5 months ago:
If your first lines are that ignorant it’s not worth going through the rest. It’s weird and creepy to just eavesdrop like that for hours then brazenly jump into their conversation to drop a pickup line.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 5 months ago:
“I’ve been listening to your conversation” is not a good way to start. There are some exceptions, but even then you’re starting on thin ice and have to ease into it.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Look, it’s not my thing either, but let’s not act like a game that just a few days ago peaked at 50 million players is some dying fad.

I’ll support anyone who references Far Cry 2’s malaria mechanic. A game ahead of its time…

Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.

To be fair, we’re all way worse on the banjo than that.

That would seem hypocritical if you’re completely blind to poetic irony, yes.
