- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 1 day ago:
Used to be? This is still common in many industries and localities.

It was specifically a contrast on the colonizer mindset that was common both in culture and literature at the time. Showing a bunch of useless british aristocrats coming to “savage lands” and rather than taming the land they were shown that without their wealth and power and being taken care of by competent natives and labourers they became the savages they claimed to be inherently divinely better than.

I both dislike the book and dislike this comic for missing the actual point of the book, which is not in fact, haha, this is what would actually happen and it’s just a group of random kids. It was specifically portraying british aristocratic children to criticize the colonizer mindset while discussing larger issues of human nature amd civility and structure vs chaos.

I have jellyfin for movies/tv because there isn’t a more convenient option available. I am not going to VPN from my phone or anywhere to home to play music when Tidal is available.

Okay, but I can access my full library from anywhere at full quality from multiple devices, I have several 5,000 plus song playlists with little to no overlap between a few of them and I have had CDs lost or stolen and had drive failures delete digital libraries. But sure.

Those aren’t life threatening vitals, they are just not healthy vitals. If you introduce a wild new experimental procedure to someone already unhealthy holding steady is a good thing, they aren’t crashing. Those are fairly standard vitals for say, someone with covid requiring hospitalization but hopefully not yet intubation, or someone with pneumonia or emphysema.

I’m still really new to it but it can be painful to get right but it’s really not painful at all once you’re situated right and used to it. Your balls just go up the front of your pelvis kinda behind and to either side of the base of the shaft. And then everything else just gets tucked away. The weirdest part for me was leaning against the counter while doing dishes and realising that my balls were at the front of my pelvis instead of safely down below and it felt very weird (though somehow affirming) to be sensitive in a very different way.

It’s not that I’m modest, it’s that I don’t know if I can tuck that flat.
- Comment on Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought in WW2 2 months ago:
This isn’t based on sketchy diplomacy at the time, this is based on private writings gone over by historians. Also, Britain declared war on Germany in response to the war in Europe, not the other way around…
- Comment on Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought in WW2 2 months ago:
Then you need to dramatically reread your history. The Nazis were pretty ready to share the world with the British Empire and absolutely would’ve preferred to not get into it with them anytime soon but Britain decided it was going to do total war to prevent the Nazis overtaking mainland Europe.

I would fully agree but you all couldn’t afford my input.
- Comment on Would we be able to use the measles virus to reset the immune systems of people with autoimmune disorders like MS or rheumatoid arthritis? 2 months ago:
This is actually being done with immune reset gene therapy though I’m not sure if it’s at all based on how the measles virus works. It’s also a potential cure for Crohn’s, Type 1 Diabetes, and many other ailments.

I mean, this is a good idea for a big reason other than genes though, people who are currently addicted to meth shouldn’t be having kids, not from a gene perspective but as an unfit parent and as an unsafe pregnancy standpoint.

I feel like there was an uptick in ghost and similar unexplained phenomena sightings every time some new camera technology came out though just from people not understanding the new kinds of artifacts those medias produced.

No that was 90 years later as school budgets were cut further and further until they were using things like pickle relish as a required vegetable. Our public school system is an embarrassment.
- Comment on USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 3 months ago:
Hilarious but we’re gonna end up with a few weird things like jackfruit and bananas becoming vegetables.
- Comment on USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 3 months ago:
This is dumb, botanically tomatoes are a fruit doesn’t preclude them being vegetables because vegetable isn’t a botanical term at all. Tomatoes are fairly sweet but they have more culinarily in common with vegetables. Nutritionally I’m not positive but it’s a separate issue.
Regardless the supreme court decision was regarding tariffs/imports/customs which makes sense to classify it simply by the way in which people consume it. People eat tomatoes as a vegetable, just like we eat zucchini and cucumber as vegetables despite them all also being fruit.
