Yeah, I just mean it’s easier to manipulate the intake side of the equation. Burning a couple hundred calories is a lot of work; choosing not to drink a soda is easy.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 1 week ago:
The takeaway here is that calorie management is WAY easier on the eating/drinking side of the equation.

That would be insanely handy in surgery. 99% of inner ear instruments look identical at first glance, but have different shaped tips that are plenty distinct under the microscope. Setting up for that shit is a pure guessing game if you have bad eyes.
And vascular… loading and keeping track of 150 suture needles that are 1/5 the size of an eyelash… yeah…

Guys it’s a trap! There’s a hard thing in the middle that doesn’t have any flavor, and I nearly killed myself swallowing it!

- Comment on This one is going to be controversial 4 weeks ago:
What belongs on pizza vs not is an intimate decision between your tastebuds and your brain; place your order according to their findings.
To my knowledge, my personal tastebuds are not capable of communicating with your brain, nor vice versa, so in the event that I’m ordering a pizza on your behalf, then yeah I’ll need to know your preference. Otherwise, if your brain gives you nom-dopamine when you eat a sauerkraut, cookie dough, and pre-workout powder pizza, then you do you.

Borderline germaphobe here. Get that disgusting, sticky menu as far away from my food or my fingers as possible. I fucking love the QR code menus.
That said, if it directs me to the app store, I’m not only leaving, but you’re getting a 1-star review. I’d take the germs over that bullshit any day.

…starts?
Dude’s been intubated with Russian dick for so long that he’s probably developed tracheal stenosis by now.
And now he’s getting spit-roasted with Musk on the other end, too.

After eating Thai and Mexican back to back, I do recall a snip in the new testament decrying his asshole as the gateway to hell. Never heard about him speaking poorly of tits.
My money’s on he was a boobs guy.

Insurers fuck cops over too. While I doubt it’s an act of solidarity with the rest of us peasants, it could actually be an enemy-of-my-enemy situation where cops find themselves hating UHC as much as the rest of us.
How crazy would it be if the next Luigi is a cop?!

…in an it was the worst thing ever kind of way - cuz that meant it was over Q_Q
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 2 months ago:
Especially in the era before just looking shit up on the internet when you hit a snag. I remember scouring levels in that looking for a path that I’d missed when I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go next.
Definitely a highlight of the N64 for me. It’s up there with the Zeldas in my book.

My parents didn’t let me buy any shooter games other than jet force gemini
At least you landed on solid gold! Jet Force Gemini was the single best shooter for the N64. Far superior to Golden Eye. Yes, I’ll die on this hill.
- Comment on A scientific discovery 2 months ago:
Kinda depends on the context of the word theory. In non-scientific settings you’ll hear people say “I have a theory…” as in they have an idea or speculation.
In a scientific context, a ‘theory’ is a pretty high standard that’s almost interchangeable with a ‘fact’.
- Comment on A scientific discovery 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t the hypothesis be first, then tested via experiment, then after a significant amount of peer review confirmation finally confirmed as a theory?

Considering the relative speed of literally everything we can experience as humans, and that light ranks at the tippy top of every single one of them as INSTANT in pretty much any context other than math homework, it’s honestly pretty fucking wild that we not only got humans 1.3 light-seconds away from Earth, but got them back alive to tell about it.
That is straight up amazing.

“The planet’s dying; the Nazis are not only back, but overwhelmingly popular; my wife and I’s dual income can barely afford a shitty apartment + costs of living; our rights are dropping like flies; and if something goes wrong with the pregnancy, our doctor would have to risk going to prison to provide healthcare, which he won’t do, so pregnancy could realistically be a fatal decision for my wife.
We will never entertain the absolutely cruel thought of forcing a child into this dumpster fire. Don’t ask us again.”
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 2 months ago:
When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata… Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.
…and I made a lot of alts.
100% full-blown addicted.
Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn’t really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.
The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn’t going to provide that fix anymore.
Then I
started making healthy life decisionsdiscovered Ark >_< - Comment on I want a name for this 2 months ago:
Text-to-speech is your friend here.
I use a website called “speechify” but there are a lot of options.
Still helps to read along with of, but having that auditory input on tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you’ve never experienced.

Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.
- Comment on This might blow up in our face 3 months ago:
Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.
We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”
All it takes is on ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.
I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.
