  AI? Or a failure of the educational system?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you want to go back in time when you were a kid?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Up until a few years ago, I would have said “no”. Growing up during the Cold War meant always wondering when the nukes would come. Every day at noon the sirens would wail, reminding you of what you’d hear as you rushed to the closest fallout shelter. Car radios had special markers for the Civil Defense stations you would tune to when it happened. It was a lot for a kid to have to deal with.

  But the nukes never came. The sirens stopped wailing at noon. The shelters, and the signs that advertised them, are long gone. The supplies they were stocked with expired and were thrown away. The great enemy collapsed under the weight of its own incompetence.

  It was an unsettling time, but we didn’t have to worry about being apprehended walking home from school, or having someone from the government break down our front door with guns drawn. The government, to some degree, seemed to have our safety in mind (even if some of those measures would have been ineffective). It wasn’t a golden era, but it was better than what we’re in now.

  So, my answer is “yes, yes I would.”

  They’re tolerable when scrambled and suitably seasoned, but I detest fried or hard-boiled eggs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exploding 🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳🌲🌴🌳⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely did not have this one on the ol’ bingo card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely this isn’t the only conspiracy theory he believes in. Time for you to find better friends,.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student Parking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I teach at a local university and it provides some free parking in addition to paid parking. Of course, the paid spaces are closer to the buildings, but at least there’s some free spaces, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no instution or person that Trump go after? Or we are all just screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only significant opposition has been in a few courts. Everything else is mostly vocal and easily ignored. So, yeah, we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no eggs were harmed in the making of this video⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you think these are terrible, you have to admire the tenacity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doctors told my mom she had a “twisted uterus” and could never have children. My entire existence has been a big Fuck You to medical science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a random image unrelated to anything in particular⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a whole line of auxilliary backup old men waiting in the wings. Thinking it’s just one man is dangerously naive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨that is crazy!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can, but it’s not very comfortable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winner takes all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My eyebrows would look like that if I didn’t trim them regularly. It’s a Slavic thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A swing and a miss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wooooooosh!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Word.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Survival of the fittest inescapable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The problem is causing so many accidents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Another one of those signs whose backstory you’d love to hear but never will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember her from high school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOC is a terrible metric. The worst programmer I ever had work for me had the highest LOC of anyone on the team, and his code was crap that barely worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We evolved for a life of scarcity, but now we live in a world of plenty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do it Sasha!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sasha: How about just one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold and despair!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is evil genius-level, but for good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's nothing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Light up another Marlboro, you’ll be fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good job!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a speaker of this language I can confirm that this is in that language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  after string of lawsuits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Boston⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I flew into Boston back in the ‘80s and was driving a rental car to my hotel. I get to an intersection and it’s blocked for a 10K road race. So I ask the cop diverting traffic if there was an alternate route to the hotel. He shrugs his shoulders, says he doesn’t know, and waves me on. I ended up driving around until the roads reopened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Edible Wood⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Packed with fiber!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you ladies doing tonight ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I regret reading this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got so many compliments on THIS I'm going to quit my job and do ART full time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you should check with someone other than your mom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These are your only alternatives. ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Number 4 looks like a shoe horn, so I’d go with that since it more than one use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates that don't tell me what is being updated⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slack does this all the time.
