  If there’s no struggle, people will get bored enough to ask questions or adventurous enough to strain the program.

  Or it’s a plothole. I might have seen the matrix twice, and don’t know how tightly designed it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Matrix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but what kind of amateur hour distraction fantasy would be worse than real life?

  Other than 40k, I mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Matrix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, they accused you of not paying attention and then you brought out the deep lore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'm fucking devastated but there are no exception⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, she’s got the triple crown

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'm fucking devastated but there are no exception⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My sister used to be a born again Christian and I always liked Jars of Clay better than the other options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you ! That’s why it’s important that the language textbook labels this as polite. When students ask about it, they’ll learn about either a linguistic or cultural difference that could make communication more difficult, if it’s not addressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a polite conversation? I feel like it’s impolite to say that someone’s lying. It’s also impolite to lie (with a lot of caveats, but it’s at least impolite if it’s an obvious lie), so you don’t need to pretend to believe a person who’s trying to deceive you, but just accusing someone of lies without checking is rude.

  Sorry, I was just having fun with the folk etymology of dork, which isn’t actually specific to whale penises

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beloved whale mural painted over for FIFA World Cup artwork⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then those dorks will learn!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gymnast stanning JoJo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  She’s wearing two different heels at one point and she’s able to do gymnastics

  He’s actually the tech at the urinalysis lab, and this guy made an ill-advised gross joke when handing his sample over last time.

  It just goes to show, you know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Evil’ Palantir Should Be Nowhere Near the NHS, Staff Say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Palantir UK chief Louis Mosley, grandson of British Union of Fascists founder Oswald Mosley

  I know you don’t get to choose your family and it’s not Louis’ fault that Oswald was a fascist, but I do wonder if there were some “alternative” values that got passed down in the Mosley family

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh well actually-⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a screen capture of this ridiculous test though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not disagreeing with the point of your statement, but I do want to clarify that vaginas absolutely stretch, just not permanently. You’ll have a very different experience if you work up to fisting over a couple of hours vs. launching right into it, because vaginas loosen with arousal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3/8 phew

  Neurodivergent, anti-AI, and, given the number of times I’ve inadvertently referenced internet culture and had to explain it to people, probably very online.

  When does middle age start again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Language barrier⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do have similar expressions and dimples, to be fair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Put your phones down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Robespierre?

  Yin and yang

  Black cat

  Taps head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Daily Wire Fires Staff In Mass Layoffs As Ben Shapiro Loses 85% Of YouTube Audience⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if that’s due to Israel skepticism among conservatives or because he’s not far enough right anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Truck is Stupid Big⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels so good when he stops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Daredevil just get 'good' rich people to pay off judges and the anti-vigilante task force police, or get them to make sure Fisk doesn't get into office?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not seen it, so this is just based off of my general understanding of the daredevil universe.

  If he believes it’s wrong, why would he do it? Classic comic books are like morality plays and the point of this arc is that voter manipulation is wrong. A real person might do it in return, but Daredevil is an archetype, not a person. He does The Right Thing™.

  If you don’t both feel like the lucky one, it’s not worth continuing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Arthur Schopenhauer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an immigrant in Germany and my boss (from here) recently asked me if it was a jerk move to do laundry on a Sunday if she checked with her neighbors first.

  It made me realize I’ve been such an unintentional asshole. I’ve been avoiding things like carpentry and band practice, not laundry. There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning on Sundays though, so I’m not the worst in my neighborhood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glasses⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, although if I take them off or forget to put them on somewhere in public, I feel very naked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to imagine they’re 71, just hoping patiently for that youthful libido to finally abate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That feels like a valid poetic choice to me, but that “who’s” is getting to me,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New gf⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The barbed wire fence is a nice touch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Servers go Brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome, thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Servers go Brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea how uncommon this is here and hope I’m not doxxing myself, but there’s only been one option (the city itself) in the ten+ apartments my husband and I have lived in in this city for water, electricity, and heat (though obviously there are options for using pellet stoves and similar things, but that doesn’t come up much in apartments), so I don’t know if I live in a weird place or if there’s just one city office exchange that serves as a middleman for multiple options.

  Or I might just be misinterpreting you and you meant things like pellet stoves, fireplaces, etc. I guess I would have thought the Schornsteinfeger would have reported the heating method for your home to the city.

  It’s not technically a student apartment, but it’s right next to campus and we’re definitely the first married couple to live there.
