  And off of them if you fuck up, I’d imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British plugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Lovely, I’m glad there’s more than one of these hellplants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British plugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  An actual answer: you very quickly learn to pull in a way that prevents your fingers from slipping onto the prongs

  …Do you, though? Because this thread is the first time I’ve considered this as a problem- which I agree it could be better designed in general but especially for child safety purposes- and I’ve been around American plugs my entire life. I’ve never been shocked, unless we’re counting the time I grabbed an electric fence because I was an idiot teenager being goaded by other idiot teenagers.

  I’ve always heard them called sand spurs, and they’re the devil. Nothing in nature needs to be that sharp, ffs.

  At least chestnuts have the decency to be really localized and large, despite being spikey balls of evil. These little fuckers are miniature, everywhere, and can hide in carpet for a solid six months before you notice them the one time you decide to go barefoot.

  I’m so glad we don’t have these where I live.

  That’s exactly my point, though. I don’t know their marriage, I’m not their friend. What they have going on isn’t my business. I don’t know if Jackie Kennedy even wants me to be offended on her behalf, or if she’s perfectly happy being his wife while he goes full on fuckboy.

  Maybe he’s cheating, maybe they have an open marriage, maybe he’s not built for monogamy and she’s fine with that because she gets to be first lady. It’s not my business.

  That’s true- hypocrisy is a bad look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the time, Marilyn⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just don’t care, personally. Infidelity is the kind of thing that makes me go, “that’s kinda not cool, but you do you.”

  I don’t know what JFK and Jackie had going on- maybe they had screaming fights on the regular over it, or maybe they were both explicitly on board with him fooling around. Their marriage ain’t my business.

  As long as everyone involved is of age and consenting, I largely don’t care who politicians are fucking past the memes being funny occasionally.

  Well, shit. You’ve got me there ngl.

  People always talking about how extremely hot metal looks tasty.

  I’m an amateur blacksmith. Glowing metal looks like pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom doubles down on its decision to go pay-per-view during the Street Fighter League despite the fact that nobody really likes it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rainbow Six Siege has had a pretty strong competitive scene for pretty much the entirety of it’s lifespan- it’s definitely fluctuated a bit in popularity, but every Invitational has had the same prize pool.

  Ha, I didn’t remember what I used so I grabbed my phone to try Librera FD, and realized I already use it.

  That’s a weird limitation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Existential Questions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer is always ’no’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THEY'RE EVOLVING⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m ngl I also got told that and believed it. I don’t really feel very gullible since I’ve never actually been stung by one? Even destroying their nests doesn’t seem to make them aggressive.

  Not parody, but still amusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lara Croft is a Sociopath⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve discovered ludonarrative dissonance!

  I’ve always thought it was funny how fast she goes from crying over a deer she had to kill to remorseless murdering machine.

  Nobody would’ve heard paracetamol, but you’d probably get some hits with acetaminophen. Not a lot, to be clear, but some.
