I think so? That’s the guys who pokes fun at his nurses for using gloves while he’s using his fingers, right?

Watching the removal of mango worms still makes me oddly happy, and horribly unnerved as I scratch at the eye-hidden parts of my body.

If only the sensationalist headlines would get into the really cool science of geology/magma mechanics, I would have been so much happier in school.

I had an acquaintance who used a voice changer on dnd online, and was both given crazy loot and allowed to act like an absolute ass without consequence. It’s amazing how thirsty some folks can be.

Bingo, bango! Whenever gender comes up, I flip a coin for what I’ll answer. With rare exception, gender is meaningless in most places and is only being used by the other side as a red herring at best.

There’s a reason that they used “furfag” in the old days
Dude, that was a 4chan thing. It wasn’t about “bigotry.” Everything had fag added to the end of it. Newfag, oldfag, furfag, gamerfag… hell, I even saw gayfag thrown around a few times, though I’m pretty sure those were fully ironic since only a dolt wouldn’t realize the idiocy of it.

Furry hate in 2005 was from furry friday posts. I still have a bunch of memes saved from both sides of those flame wars.

Grey scale 5x5 pixels of actors that have never grossed over $5,000 for a movie. Everything else is just posing.

Hmm, they should probably specify whether the pool water is clarified from the septic waste…

Look, video may have been responsible for the murder of one, but we still have plenty of them in the solar system.

Interesting. Do your general practicioners not have doctorates? I wonder what that D stands for in the MD behind her name…

Cops receive more discounts than veterans. Firefighters/emts get jack shit in comparison.
You can even make the argument, a lot like the military one, that it is more deserved. ‘Paying’ a cop to be at your store temporarily in the form of a discount gets you pretty cheap security.

Seems appropriate. Much faster service for your medication than at the va.
- Comment on Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth 1 week ago:
billionaires… should be strung up in the town square and be given the blood eagle
Meh. People are always saying blood eagle this and blood eagle that. Of all the ways to die, the blood eagle isn’t all that bad. Once the lungs are pulled out, that’s it. You choke to death within a minute. All the good tortures last at least hours; look at crucifixion, which sometimes dragged on for days. The description of scaphism (which was written by someone who allegedly often stretched tales) said the longest one was 17 days, I think.
- Comment on I should call her. 1 week ago:
Yes, I get that. So what I was saying, in a continuation of your comment on insulin needles being used that way, was that the top picture here, showing what needles looked like after multiple times of use, was most often displayed near pharmacies, where insulin and needles were dispensed to diabetics. I saw them there more than I ever saw them in anti-drug areas/campaigns. I was further adding in the perspective that there was a good reason for doing that, as diabetics (and probably other users of injected drugs) were most definitely reusing needles, as evidence by the stories from my uncle and my own experience.
- Comment on I should call her. 1 week ago:
Aye, and besides drug users on the streets, that’s who the top picture was actually for. I can’t recall how many of those signs I’ve seen when I was picking up needles with my insulin. I also know my uncle reused his up to 10 times or so. Worst I’ve ever gone was like 5-6. It’s actually quite difficult to get needles when you’re not at home and forget some (and they’re annoyingly easy to forget).

Was that the fella who literally checked himself in at a hospital and just said, ‘don’t let me die,’ then said year passed by?

I have a friend who grew up in northern canada. It’s horror stories all the way down for my warm, balmy weather loving butt. Even my friend from minnesota scared me… I couldn’t believe the canadian terror.

Yeah, about 5% of the time…
- Comment on Anon saves up 1 week ago:
The hours makes sense for a lot of companies that have shift work, because different employees have differing amounts of hours in their workday. Plus, my old place of work would let you use a few hours at a time, so if you wanted you could have off every friday afternoon.

I was mostly referencing the mammals, because that was the top comment, but sure.
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 2 weeks ago:
So are shrimp and lobsters, basically. Some cultures eat dogs, others eat chickens, and some eat crickets/ants/weird-sea-crustaceans.
I’m sure that some of the foods I ate as a kid would squick out many folks, but that’s not due to anything inherent in them. There’s nothing weird about eating ‘bugs,’ it’s just a weird semi-trained quirk you have.

Seeing the videos of goats just casually chomping through the carolina reapers, I would bet there are differences in species.

Chili flavored? ewww. Cinnamon flavored? Oh yeah! Turn that spicy up!
- Comment on Laxative Effect 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that’s an easy clean. Spray the floor, let it sit for a bit, mop it at the end of the day. Shit spackled across vertical surfaces is a more involved process, especially if they have little shelves and curved areas.
- Comment on It would get old fast 2 weeks ago:
I think one lawn/arena for the cul-de-sac is fine. If I had 7 friends, spouses, and kids in that, we’d be playing pick up football/lacrosse/hurley/rugby/ultimate-frisbee all the time.

Right, but from their perspective, why do the extra work of blotting out the sun and cultivating plant life on the surface, instead of just using the super strength of the vampires to imprison a few hundred humans in blackreach…

I mean, if you’re going to force people into an underground cavern, why even have the extra step of blotting out the sun?
