  “I have to sit through a three hour, one thousand dollar a plate lunch meeting three times a week with the dullest assholes imaginable, that’s work.”

  It’s time for tzatziki sauce on everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Small little shenanigans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  MRIs work because strong enough magnetic fields will interact with any material, not just ferrous metals. This can be impacted by the structure said materials form (stents are a weave like a finger trap and therefore more prone to interaction with magnetic fields than say a solid cylinder) but I’d be inclined to say your friend was lucky. Ball bearings like in the OP are nearly always steel outside of specific high end applications and therefore would behave like they were coming out of a shotgun shell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Small little shenanigans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was told that because I have stents (plastic coated with platinum) I can never get an MRI again by my cardiologist.

  A friend who makes knives felt the little bits of metal that he’s picked up in his skin over years of grinding blades getting pulled out of him during an MRI.

  Maybe aluminum foil in your pocket would only “interfere with the scan,” but those magnets are powerful enough to make any metal in your body come out, violently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing they are tracking is primarily money. If people are playing games they already own and spending money on crypto chasing a big win, that speaks more to increased economic desperation than loss of interest in video games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annon relfects on W doing it for the love of the game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Family of Secrets is such a goddamned mindfuck. That plus Chaos (about the ties between MKULTRA and Charles Manson) made my summer a few years back real freaky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that while nudity at home should not be an issue, the nature of the film industry means that even if the nudity is presented in a naturalistic fashion, the fact it is on film makes it exploitative.

  Imagine being 10-12 years old, naked, and surrounded by adults (mostly men,) some of whom are more or less ordering you around. I can’t imagine a way to make that anything other than deeply distressing for a child.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s a shitpost, but…

  As cool as they might look, imagine trying to keep those things clean. Just constant vacuuming.

  It’s the name of the stadium ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Are Being Misled About Renewable Energy Technology [Technology Connections]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I read a summary of a film before I go to watch it, I don’t assume that I have absorbed the intensity of an actor’s performance. I have been disappointed too many times by excessively long YouTube videos to spent an hour and a half without knowing what the general content of the video is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Are Being Misled About Renewable Energy Technology [Technology Connections]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ITT: deliberately unhelpful comments.

  You know why text summaries are good? If I read a thesis statement and go “yup, I agree with the thesis and know enough about the major points raised to skip this” I save NINETY FUCKING MINUTES of my life. Alternatively, if I see something in the summary that piques my interest, I can watch the video to get more detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Le Tits, Now!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like there was some weird drama around her but I couldn’t find any details other than some vague claims about death threats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's right there 😖⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the many calls of the void I experience frequently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences of not building enough housing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Appropriate that something in a neoliberal community is in the shitposting community too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every day is violent swinging between 7 and 9.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t Catholics subscribe to the doctrine of TRANSubstantiation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Creator Studio is launching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All good points. FCPX was by all accounts a major step back from FCP, the comparison I heard the most was that it was basically iMovie.

  Also, wasn’t the main selling point of FCPX that it was cheaper? I feel like they sold it for ~$100 for a long time. Going from that to $129/yr is bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sold in Belgrade...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So…the orcs are the good guys in this one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, it was written for a minstrel show, to mock black folks. The songwriter later moved south to join the confederacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen some sellers figure out workarounds. If you have a different SKU, it doesn’t get considered. So for example, Poppi soda sells a 12 can variety pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 can variety pack for the same price at Costco. Different SKU, lower price per unit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apologies for the YouTube link but Cory Doctorow explains this phenomenon really well: youtube.com/shorts/vrgtV_yxxn4

  Sorry, let me clarify: your tattoos won’t look cool when you’re older. This dude isn’t you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Hmmm,” as in “hmmm, is there already a dontputyourdickinthat community?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it would be both normal and probably welcomed by a lot of them (as long as you’re not pushing an MLM.) Worst case scenario, they decline your friend request, but it’s not “weird.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox is a problem — but it’s a symptom of something worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit, I knew that without reading the article.

  I’m not diabetic and the situation with insulin fills me with a white hot rage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold on, you can simply tack on 10-50 dollars to your cell plan and get a “free” upgrade every year instead!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It genuinely floors me that few medium and large-sized companies don’t use Linux for desktops. You can customize gnome or KDE to work very similarly to windows from a UI/UX perspective, especially with the number of web based apps companies rely on. Windows and Office might start sucking less if they had real competition.

  Who am I? There’s a sign outside says Lou’s Tavern. I’m fuckin Lou. Who the fuck are you?

  Listen, slick Willie might be a child raping scumbag, but he knows a DJT blowjob is going to be all teeth and self-aggrandizement. No one wants to have oral interrupted every 10 seconds by the person giving oral talking about how great they are at giving oral.
