That’s definitely not what this is or enables.

“Unalive” is stupid NOT because language changes and ree, but because it came about via over-censorship by megacorporations.

I mean, 1/4 a lb is practically nothing ontop of the bread. Though don’t worry; the cheeto got rid of most regulations! I’m sure this situation will only improve … for the corporations.

Could be. Just explaining why it could be an unhinged goofball, too. Even bad people can be goofy. Only context we do not have could definitively prove it one way or the other.
- Comment on We're more like a family here. 1 week ago:
It’s not the ‘fun’ part that’s unhinged. It’s the ego to cast one self as the buff minion when you’re in a position of power. Pushing power dynamics is something creeps, narcissists, and fascists do.

I mean, beating Hillary was semi-predictable given all her baggage, but beating Harris was … quite a sad display of how shitty the US is.

No. Stop giving the wannabe

Every lady’s experience in a red state. Seriously, I’m not making a joke, being a “conservative” as defined in the US political system NEEDS to be categorized as a mental disorder that precludes people from being doctors at the least.

2nd to 8th centuries… so it’s been out of fashion for over a thousand years, before a certain group decided to ‘popularize’ it again. Hmmmm….

lol bad dentist. Flossing is the only thing that has stopped my teeth from falling apart. Went from a cavity or root canal every couple years to near perfect checkups time after time. I brushed before, too.

You’re right, but that just shows how shitty the US, and humanity as a whole, still is.
- Comment on Anyone else dreaming of demoncores? 1 week ago:
The demon core could never blow up like a nuke without a lot more specialized stuff around it, so… not really.
- Comment on Welcome to industrialization, bitchass 1 week ago:
Yea, the reason slavery is lesser now is because we fucking fought a war over making it overtly illegal… You’d have to be a moron to think it wouldn’t be around today in the US without the civil war.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
lol no. It’s the lesser of two evils. You morons are paying the people destroying the planet.
Ya’ll are the same idiots that vote for Trump or skip voting because, “well they’re all corrupt anyways so it doesn’t matter.”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
rofl good job failing to understand the basic concept of lesser of two evils. Don’t pay the people destroying the world, dumbass.
Ya’ll are the same idiots that vote for Trump or skip voting because, “well they’re all corrupt anyways so it doesn’t matter.”
Genuinely, your attitude is fucking pathetic.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
lol no. Good job not understanding the lesser of two evils concept. Absolutely fucking braindead take from you buffoons.
Ya’ll are the same morons that vote for Trump or don’t vote at all just because, “well they’re all corrupt so it doesn’t matter.”
Genuinely, fucking pathetic.

- Comment on Stay hydrated, folks 2 weeks ago:
lol no. It says “a day”. It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.
I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn’t be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you’re already low on. They’re not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.

Yes, some people do have glandular problems or underlying health issues.
No, that is not the vast majority of obese people.
Again, stop infantilizing grown-ass adults.

The two going straight up just to terminate are also not contributing to a functional shelf.
- Comment on That's a no 2 weeks ago:
Completely wrong.
Zipper merging is a merging technique. It doesn’t give a fuck where it happens. Period. Ever.
What determines how many cars get through is ONLY determined by how many through-lanes there are and how fast traffic can flow. The morons flying up an empty closing lane just to cram into a lane that’s already slow or stopped, ARE NOT ZIPPER MERGING. Ever. They’re dipshits cutting in line. Period. Ever.
They NEVER help solve congestion. For fuck’s sake, this is not a hard concept, but all you idiots apparently cannot even fathom why traffic slows down when a lane is GOING AWAY. Fuck, humanity is doomed if ya’ll are even remotely ‘average’ intelligence…
- Comment on Well done, all of you! 2 weeks ago:
The road IS going away, at least temporarily. That’s the whole fucking point of this scenario. That’s why the throughput is determined ONLY by how many lanes will continue through.
It’s not hard to comprehend. It’s basic traffic throughput…
The people racing up an empty lane when the through-lanes are slow or stopped ARE “cramming themselves in like sardines”.
- Comment on That's a no 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Not only is stuffing yourself into denser traffic bad for throughput, it’s not a part of zipper merging.
It’s just something they’re taught because it can reduce the tail of congestion and can sometimes keep it from spreading to other roads. Bad teachers and idiots conflate it with zipper merging so that idiots like these commenters think it’s part of zipper merging and defend it.
Whereas actual zipper merging doesn’t give a shit where it happens. All it requires is that through-traffic gives roughly 1-1 room for merging traffic, and that merging traffic look for and take an opening.
If they were ACTUALLY practicing zipper merging, neither lane would let themselves condense past two vehicle lengths per vehicle, which obviously doesn’t happen when lane closures cause congestion.
- Comment on no chances for life around red dwarfs 2 weeks ago:
No chance of life … as we know it.
We’re finding some pretty damn hardy forms of life all the time, though, so I’m willing to bet all “no chance” claims are purely ignorance.
- Comment on Nobody ever knows 2 weeks ago:
Oh no, poor ignorant supposedly functional adults, totally unable to chnage anything about their behaviors or learn something new! Awww poor wittle
babiesactual adults.Stop infantilizing people. Shit like this is half the reason there are immature adults that do not know how to take accountability for anything.
