I vaguely remember something about organelles inside a cell used to be seperate entities too

Can confirm, am shaped like a weird donut

Yeah, I also think its cultural and not an instinct. We don’t have screens on the windows, so letting spiders roam freely means I don’t get flies, which are objectively worse to cohabitate with.

My local grocery lets me skip the step of buying them and taking them home, because they’re already moldy on the shelf.

It’s been a hot minute since I played it, but I remember a lot of his backstory is hidden behind player choices. You may have to play through multiple times or just look up spoilers to get the whole thing.

My state is one of the few that guarantees paid time off. At minimum we get 1 hour of PTO for every 40 hours worked, so that works out to about a week of combined sick leave and vacation.

There was also a large influx of money as Europe rebuilt after WWII, but that also a one-time-thing.
Unless…

Adam Smasher is actually evil, yes. Anon is ignoring large swaths of backstory for this greentext, lol.

Whaat, my library barely has computers.

Libraries don’t have playgrounds, and don’t allow food, drink, or birthday parties with friends.

When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I’m mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.
I don’t know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.
- Comment on The 11foot8 bridge opens another big can 1 week ago:
Part of the problem is that we’ve got a hodgepodge of roads, built at different times, to different standards. Rail crossings are also complicated, because the train companies own the rails and the land under them, so cities are largely unable to force them to make changes to their property.
In this particular instance, the tracks would need to be redone for a few miles on either side of the bridge to raise it, and the North Carolina Train Company just isn’t willing to front the cost and eat the downtime. There’s only so far you can dig down before you hit groundwater problems, so the city can’t do much to lower the road under the bridge.

I don’t know if I’m sad for them, not getting the joke; or sad for me, for being here so much that I get the joke.

Both actual moths. The black and white one is Haploa clymene, and the colorful one is Dryocampa rubicunda.

- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 1 week ago:
For any other game, I’d agree, but cyberpunk being full of chrome is an aesthetic that predates the video games by a fair margin, haha.

I’m assuming that’s a typo, and you don’t really think every job has benefits.

- Comment on I throw hands (grabbing my soup) 1 week ago:
Part of me is so done with humanity I feel like a lot of these kids deserve the consequence of being self-absorbed and undisciplined.
That’s understandable, considering the amount of propaganda that has always been generated about the kids these days. The best propaganda has a grain of truth in it, and preys on the fear that you’re being taken advantage of, that your efforts are for naught.
There will always be ignorant people, there will always be lazy freeloaders, there will always be room for improvement. If you feel this means some people do not deserve solidarity, you cannot expect others to stand with you, and this is how the left crumbles.
If the internet is making you lose faith in humanity, you should get off the internet.
- Comment on Make dinosaurs weirder 1 week ago:
I agree, and think this ties into my pet peeve, if I may stroke it for a bit; The fact that science is so isolated from the outside world, that the only way the average person can access it is through pop culture interpretations. Pop culture science needs to be held to a higher standard if we won’t fund good science communicators. We’ve left it to ‘market forces’ to fill the gap, and they’ve decided the most cost-effective way of doing that is stuffing it with garbage and slapping a pretty veneer on it.
People go “yeah, but you can read the studies online”, but that ignores that 1) paywalls are a problem and 2) even if you don’t run into a paywall, you need the education to understand what you’re reading. The average american can barely read common english and is exhausted from work, expecting quality self-education to be the standard is a fool’s errand.
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
Depends on where you live. I grew up taking Oklahoma City public transit, and you could get mugged for pocket change at some of the bus stops. Now I’m in Washington and my area is pretty safe.

No such luck here. It’s also like that across multiple devices, so I think it might be my instance?

I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.
The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

And please don’t take any of this as meaning you shouldn’t be a girl if that’s what you want. For a lot of trans women, it really is easier to be a woman, it’s just not because dick vs boob.

Ovaries are a literal pain regardless of pregnancy. I want to get mine removed because they’re malfunctioning anyways, but I can’t because doctors are worried I’ll regret it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
As a counterpoint, I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, and we started as a one-night-stand. It’s backwards from how it usually happens, but he was particularly cool so I took him to breakfast the next morning, and then we got to know each other better. We became FWB, broke it off, dated other people, then got back together for real and haven’t quit since.
Yes, sex can’t be the only reason for love, but you can start there and find mutual interest after.
