Imagine if growing a plant in your home was legal and the police had to figure out something else to do with their time
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 day ago:
I’d argue it’s worse. I’ve met people that never stop vaping. I’ve even know some sleep vapers.
I’d say if you used it as a 1 to 1 replacement for smoking it’s probably better, but if you hit it 10 times as often as you’d smoke a cigarette you’re going to be worse off
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 day ago:
I smoked occasionally while drinking at bars/parties. Bought a few packs to smoke/share. Never smoked outside of those times and at worst it was maybe every other week.
I guess I had a decent addiction tolerance.

Ah yes my daily nicotine coffee

A drunk cigarette is quite nice ngl, usually makes the hangover worse though
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 2 days ago:
Not to mention the failure to actually develop any characters. Most seemed to learn a lesson/grow one episode and then revert back immediately the next episode

Cartoons did, but most shows aired for adults lasted 40+ minutes

My dad did the exact opposite and it has absolutely trashed our relationship.

It’s basically why I don’t order pizza anymore. Even if you directly order from the store they just partner out with a random app. Like no I don’t want my pizza to arrive 2 hours later cold. Thanks though

My good friend Bill Dillon himself in friends homes and leaves the shit covered object under their couch.
I have a habit of leaving pantry doors open when cooking.
Same thing really

Archaeologist here, maybe it’s just new wave training but widely taught that it’s not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.
Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.
Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.
Also fun fact, you can’t measure this morphology when there’s still skin and muscle fucking attached.
- Comment on Polar bears 2 weeks ago:
Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.
Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.
Look up cave bears for a treat.
- Comment on Polar bears 2 weeks ago:
I mean we basically successfully hunted every animal in the planet. Wouldn’t say it’s fair to call them morons

Construction or archeology?
- Comment on Hotel prices 1 month ago:
It really depends. Holiday Inn Express can run close to 115-125 depending on location and nearby events. And there are certainly a lot of hotels under 100.
But if you’re anywhere near a decent metro under 100 is basically non-existent

They do plan on using the tech for those applications though.
The “dire wolf” is just a media strategy to show off their technologies.

Travelers was good and honestly I’d love a reboot that continues the story. It’s literally designed for it

They call it a job for teenagers, but will actually have a meltdown if mcdonalds isn’t open during school hours. God help if they have to wait 2 minutes because staff is low
- Comment on Anon calls in for financial advice 2 months ago:
Plus, at least here, if you lose your job the following happens:
- for 2 years you’ll get 80% of your previous paycheck (assuming you worked long enough to qualify, iirc 5 years. if not you get time deducted)
- at the same time as the end of your current employment you have the option to stop/reduce payments on the loan for a time due to special circumstances (technically not mandatory but not bank will give you a large loan without this added insurance, iirc interest will still accrue in this time essentially extending the length of the loan)
And that’s the difference. Here you just get to be foreclosed on.
So yeah with having reasonable social safety nets in place the idea is a lot more reasonable
- Comment on Anon calls in for financial advice 2 months ago:
Disagree, sure you can make more in the open market over time by getting another mortgage on a paid off home.
But that invested money means absolutely nothing if the market has a downturn and you lose your job. Now you’re on the hook to a mortgage you can’t pay and risk losing a place to live.
While on paper you can make more money, it’s very dumb to gamble with things you need to survive. And that’s all any loan is, a gamble that you will be in good health and have the means to pay it back.

At least in the US inheritance tax really isn’t a thing. It’s only a couple of states that do it, and for federal taxes the estate has to be very large. In 2025 the exemption is 13.99 million per individual from any estate taxes. I certainly have never had a family member with an estate anywhere near that size

She wasn’t even a scientist. She just kinda showed up, made friends with the research facility, and convinced them to let her try teaching the dolphin to read.
Ironically her “method” did start to show some success
