Really still just sounds like you’re coming from a place of bigotry to me. I really think you will be a happier and healthier (and better person) if you learn to find joy in the things that are the same in other cultures rather than focusing on the things that are different. It is a picture of a silly sign making a silly joke about a common frustration in some bodies profession and all you can think about is how awful you think the people behind it are. The joke is not denigrating anybody, it is not othering anybody, the audience of the sign does not feel unsafe or threatened by it. You are finding issues with it because of the context. Because you have other issues with the culture displayed.
- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 3 weeks ago:
So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don’t know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what’s in the picture. Just say “I can’t find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans”

Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.
- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 3 weeks ago:
The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

Cyanide is legendarily fast acting. Among the fastest known poisons.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 4 weeks ago:
Thallium was pretty famous for this until its mechanism of toxicity and antidotes were better understood. Slow acting, tasteless, odorless, colorless, symptoms weird and mimic other things. Used to be used for rat poison but the risk of accidental exposure was too high. Requires late 1800s technology.

Only fresh pasta is made with eggs, dry pasta typically doesn’t use eggs. It’s semolina durum wheat and water, pushed through copper dies and then dried.
- Comment on 'Starship Troopers' Remake Set From 'District 9' Director Neill Blomkamp 5 weeks ago:
I mean, I guess I’m open if it is trying to do something controversial in actually adapting the book faithfully? Which I’m not sure would go over well or that I would like at all but at least would be making something new and relavent and dialogue provoking? The original was a pro-military pro-discipline novel written in anger at the suspending of US nuclear testing. Heinlein was frustrated at basically hippies that he saw as not really participating or taking responsibility for the country as a whole calling the shots and pulling back the US military development in the cold war. Agree or disagree and adaptation criticizing the current culture of western withdrawal from Afghanistan, the milquetoast supporting of Ukraine or other connecting issues could be a very interesting and relavent piece of modern political commentary. Again, agree or disagree with the stance, at least it’s making a movie that is worth making because it will make people think and talk about different perspectives. Just don’t fucking make a cash grab or an actual remake of the Verhoeven film (because it’s already perfect, it doesn’t need to be remade)

I mean, lens flare does happen in the eye, just much less dramatically because there’s only the one lens and everything is round. But “glare” like how the rest of your sight gets washed out because the sun is in your field of view is a manifestation of lens flare.

Kind of? Getting fat and eating too much regularly are great ways to get diabetes, and sugar is a great way to get fat.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
No, stop, let us have single player games, with 100-10000 players in an MMORPG you are suddenly diluted and weak, your ability to influence the world and be heroic and become powerful is suddenly dependent on competing for time investment and skill with 100s to 1000s of other people. THATS WHAT I ALREADY DO IN REAL LIFE. If I want to feel mid and not very powerful without putting in a ton of extra work, I’ll go outside. Especially when doing that extra work would actually allow me to spend EVEN LESS TIME on myself in the real world.

- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 1 month ago:
I mean, yeah it’s possible to watch a show and only watch the “MOTW” style episodes that don’t deal with the central overarching plot. I wouldn’t recommend it in DS9 though.

Fair enough if you’re in that camp
- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 2 months ago:
I agree if it’s the sole sweetener in a sweet thing. But if it’s combined with real sugar in a only lightly sweet thing I find it unnoticeable. I recommend giving it a shot.
- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 2 months ago:
How were you convinced sweet tea was a healthy drink to begin with? health.clevelandclinic.org/what-is-stevia Stevia to reduce the amount of agave nectar used is making it healthier if anything. Can you actually taste it if it’s used sparingly in addition to real sugar?

Sorry, I didn’t mean it can’t be done, I did it plenty in the 90s/00s, I meant that the resulting image tends to be noticeably less sharp. But perhaps analog->digital converters got better?
