  And to be fair, not all of those are equally bad. Seamus Finnagan and Anthony Goldstein could very well be real people. The other two are so much worse, especially now that you’ve made me realise the slavery connection.

  Right, sorry, I kinda assumed the US had good tap water (except that one town), so people there would fill their bottles at sinks, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahh, my good friend water pressure.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Like a sink?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahh, my good friend water pressure.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Btw I’ve always wondered. What’s up with those fountain things? Do Americans not carry water bottles?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨poor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh, having tried high sex before, I honestly prefer low sex.

  You can pronounce any word any way you like, full stop. But pronouncing them the way most people do just makes for more effective communication.

  Personally dislike these performative overly pc terms. Call me an aspie slut or sth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh, that's... umm....⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘investigating claims’ isn’t exactly saying theres clear evidence it happened. I’m not at all saying it didn’t. Does anyone have a better source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Become unrecognizable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm, have takeny concerta, skipped most of it to look for the joke and only read the second from last one properly. Efficient humor consumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Become unrecognizable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s two possibilities here: either you were already getting proper hydration from food (fruit, vegetables, soups, stews etc all have a bunch of water), or you weren’t getting proper hydration from drinking water. The latter could be because you lack electrolytes (you can buy em as a powder and add to your water), or you weren’t spacing out your drinking properly. You can only absorb so much water at once (about 250ml every quarter hour at most). Sipping slowly all day is key, chugging a lot at once isn’t going to benefit you much(unless you’re trying to fight a urinary tract issue like kidney stones or sometimes a UTI).

  Interestingly enough, I’m 80% sure, because it was a weekday, and I sat in the exact same spot for all of high school. The 20% are for the possibility I was sick, in the bathroom, or had a special class I had to leave our classroom for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let a 10 year old boy make a shirt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite are little kids, who can barely read, but whose parents definitely can. Taking note of the shirts was one of my favourite things about summer camp. They were all like ‘horses! pink!’ or ‘summer, sun, flowers’ or ‘dinosaur pirates’ or other nonsensical collections of vaguely related words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Contents of Queen's Purse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is how you know it’s fake. She’s the type for a pre-PP Walther. She’d also carry it in a case, because that’s what gun owners in Europe generally do. Also, there’s no reason for her to carry the coke, it’s served on a silver platter on demand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do no harm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and on a scale of 1-10, that integer overflows to 10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk has an h-index.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that is a nice illustration for the fact that listing an h index with no context doesn’t mean much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twinkle twinkle little star⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of them might, a lot of them won’t. But most of them would be happier if personal freedom of expression weren’t at direct odds with professional fulfilment. Just like, yano, human beings in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twinkle twinkle little star⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Girls want to be able to choose how to look. Femininity often causes people in the sciences (and other places too) to take you less seriously. So, there’s negative consequences to choosing to look pretty, making it less of a free choice.

  Huh, this is how I learn mall Santas exist outside north America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I said society. The word ‘men’ isn’t even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less ‘all men’. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman’s responsibility. Can you explain why that’s a sexist thing to say? Or, if it’s not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?

  Also, I didn’t have to look that up. It’s common knowledge. But, as I said, there’s no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men’s responsibility. You didn’t even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.

  I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn’t always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There’s people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I’m just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men’s responsibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree. The fact that they’re only researching it now has been hurting everyone involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you please point out the thing I said that you consider sexist, and why? I’m striving not to be, and like to learn where I can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok I’ll ignore the name calling one last time.

  I’ll put it super simply, in the hope that you misunderstanding me wasn’t as intentional as it comes across

  1. barrier methods have always been, and continue to be, a shared responsibility

  2. all other non-permanent methods have been purely on women until very recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like it would make sense on the surface, but is just not true. You can look up pretty easily that there wasn’t really any research on the viability of male hormonal birth control until half a century after female hormonal birth control became a thing, so it’s not like they made a rational decision based on scientific findings. When they found out how to do it for men, it was roughly comparably complicated, with similar side effects. This too is easy to look up.

  It makes sense that the side effects were too much to legalize hormonal male birth control because today’s standards are much higher. Which is a good thing ofc- im glad they don’t allow new medication as easily as they did in the past. Female birth control wouldn’t be legalized if it was invented today, and neither would, for example, aspirin. They get to stay around because they don’t take that stuff back out usually, even if it wouldn’t pass modern standards. That’s a bit of a tangent though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is everyone in this thread acting like men are always the ones providing and insisting on using barrier methods? Have yall talked to a woman who’s had casual sex before about what it’s like out there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s less of a conspiracy and more that it didn’t even occur to society until pretty recently (in historical terms) that reproduction isn’t solely a woman’s responsibility

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It really depends on whether you want the newest games with 128k graphics. I game on a 5 year old Thinkpad* and a first gen switch and am happy about it.

  *granted, it was refurbished and still like 2700€, but the same laptop would be cheaper today

  Thanks for this reminder that I can ardently disagree with someone’s opinion and still think absolutely nothing less of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm fine with being stupid⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They’d just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It’s not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it’s just repetitive and lengthy. There’d have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.

  On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don’t want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it’s an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.

  Cursive is wayyyy more accessible for lots of people with chronic pain in their arm/hand/wrist. Also helps prevent those conditions for those who have do a lot of hand writing. I dread the day that people will no longer be able to read the least painful way to write or me.
