Ya’ll if you don’t want to serve just tell the court you know what jury nullification is and ask to be dismissed. No need for biological warfare.

You should be asking who his publicist is. Whoever they are, they are very good at what they do. The only reason we all figured out Elon is a trash fire nazi is either he stopped listening to the publicist or he fired them and went rogue.
- Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit 1 week ago:
I used to hit reddit forums for internet queries because they are usually at the top of search engines. Now I blow right past them to the next in theme answers (steam for gaming for example) because the join us we are a cult splash screen is annoying. Anyone that is going to create a reddit account/use the app ALREADY IS. The enshittification is so painfully bad.

Thermal shock.
- Comment on She was churning plastic 2 weeks ago:
Nah. In my experience it’s normally dudes that cause this problem by pouring cold coolant into a hot engine. Hot engine block plus cold fluid = BAD. The engine block cracks. If you ever need to add coolant only do it when your vehicle is cold (If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait for the engine to cool make sure the engine is ON and you add coolant slowly). If this only happened because someone just poured the wrong fluid into the wrong hole, hell yeah, because I’d rather do a clean out then have to replace my whole god damn engine.

I’m aware that this is a shit post, buuuut I just want to point out if this was very old oil it would be black sludge. This oil looks contaminated. Probably with coolant. If we’re going to do a sexism let’s at least accurately identify the engine problem.

So destroy more forest to grow food for one person? May I suggest an alternative. We protect the little forest that remains and instead relax zoning laws to allow people to grow food on the countless acres of grassy yard space/land we already have. Grass is an outdated non native crop originally grown by rich assholes as a staus symbol to say “I have so much I do not need to use my land for anything productive.”

I think when future history books are written about the downfall of America they’ll be entire chapters dedicated to his contribution to the collapse.

Have you ever met someone like the people you want everyone to act like? I have. Many times. They are usually either SUPER neurotic or very rigid and extremely unforgiving of themselves when they don’t meet their own standards. Everyone bitches about them or pathologizes them. So no it’s not human nature because humans are not a monolith with default behaviors.

I think it pure enshittification. They want to push hard for the subscription, monthly service fee model. Easier to extort people if you paint them in a corner.
- Comment on So wise. 4 weeks ago:
I was taught: IS over OF, PERCENT over 100.
Is/of × %/100
Is = x
Of = 347
Percent = 67X/347 × 67/100
Multiply 347×67=23, 249
Divide by 100232.49 is 67% of 347.

In traditional tanning different chemicals are used to process leather. Brains, egg yolks, urine, they all work. The urine isn’t a requirement, it a possible chemical compound a tanner may choose to utilize.

Jesus fuck. Why don’t we make MMOs anymore? This hybrid “single player” game with online match making is the dumbest shit.

He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.

- Comment on Handy tip 2 months ago:
It’s like knowing a cow is the room next door. You are aware of the cow but you can’t see it. If someone says the cow is brown, you are now aware the cow in the room next door is a brown cow but you can’t see it because it’s in another room. Except the other room is your mind.
I don’t need to see a cow to imagine it in the next room. Same concept.
It’s easy to figure out if you have aphantasia. Think of a cow. Do you see a cow?
It’s not a condition or a disability, it’s just a different way that some brains work. Don’t fall into the trap of - it’s outside the majority so it must be a deficiency. Most people with aphantasia don’t even know they have it.
Also, strangely I can rotate a cow in my mind, but there is no visual feedback. I “feel” the cow rotating. I choose where in the physical space to project the imagined cow and there is the imagined “physical” sensation of the cow spinning as if it’s an extension of my mind. I can imagine sound as well. But I don’t see anything.

Absol-fucking-lutely they would. 14 year old me was dealing with some bullshit and would be ecstatic that we got through it and that things got better. Kudos to anyone who survived their teens and come out even mildly well adjusted, much less happy.

I have a few theories.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 3 months ago:
Why do you think you’re chronically dehydrated? Is your urine brown? Have you been fainting? Do you have kidney stones? (I don’t actually want to know - please don’t share your personal health information on the internet - but if the answer to any of those questions is yes please see a doctor.) Otherwise if the answer to those questions is “no” you are likely getting more then enough hydration. It’s a myth that we need 8 glasses of water a day or need to be constantly drinking water to be “hydrated.” Just keep your water of choice available and drink when you are thirsty. You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) force yourself to drink beyond that. Our bodies are really good at self regulation and forcing more fluid into our system just equates to extra unnecessary trips to the bathroom. You don’t need to force yourself to “like” water. If it’s the only thing you have on hand to drink you’ll drink it when you get thirsty.

- Comment on Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing. 3 months ago:
Agreed. Doing well on any test just proves that you’re good at taking a test. Intelligence is measured by far many variables then test taking. Nevermind that test scores can be raised by coaching and practice. If the IQ test were a true indicator of intellect the score would be fixed each and every time it is taken regardless of outside influences.

Difference between printed and calligraphy? Otherwise I got nothing. They’re the same.
- Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars? 3 months ago:
Your question is too broad. Which vehicle against which vehicle? The thing is today’s average driver drives an SUV or truck which is a literal tank in comparison, whereas in the 70s most people drove cars. The bumpers wouldn’t even line up (btw this is a modern issue between “cars” and “SUVs/Trucks”) leading to the bigger vehicle overtopping the smaller vehicle. Modern vehicles are also on average heavier and have better safety features. The only thing I will say is an advantage of an older vehicle is in lower speed crashes it has a better chance of being repaired then a modern vehicle that crumples, but at 70mph even solid steel will get wrecked (as will the passengers).
Also bold of you to assume a lot of these vehicles from the 70s can easily reach 70mph without shaking apart.
