My company costs the government billions each year for weapons that haven’t been used in nearly 80 years. Talk about inefficiency!

God the center of that must feel like being in a carwash with the spinny bristles.

Additionally, the average brain is about 1300 grams. 0.5% of 1300 is 6.5 grams, and plastic credit cards weigh roughly 5 grams.
.5% is really hard for me to visualize. A credit card in everyone’s brain is unfortunately easy…

Fun fact, the average adult brain also has a credit cards worth of plastic inside. So that bacon has some company!
- Comment on Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs 5 weeks ago:
Imo anyone considering a Tesla won’t really care about the price and quality, for the reasons you describe. They’re there for the brand.
- Comment on Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs 5 weeks ago:
Apparently Tesla’s on board with this. Their thinking, which I think is correct, is that the rebate benefits other manufacturers more since Tesla is much more established as an EV brand.

Idk what the exact definition of a full lock in is, but if you have to break a window to get someone out I’d think it still qualifies.

Now that’s a bold and uninformed take.

Yeah, I don’t really have a solution there :(

Y’all gotta try some Korean spas, they have them even in the US.
Those are super relaxing and luxurious.
First you shower, then you get REALLY clean by exfoliating your entire outer carapace, or paying someone to do it. You’re not properly exfoliated until you have flecks of your dead skin flying off.
Then you take a nice hot soak in a series of increasingly warmer hot baths.
Finish it off with a plunge in cold water.
Yes, there are other folks of the same gender. Nobody really cares, you just do your own thing.
Walk out to the lobby, hang out with friends and eat some freshly made Korean comfort food, feeling like a new person.
My friend took me to one after a long day at a theme park, and it’s changed everything, and now Korean spas are mandatory after each theme park. Instead of ending the day tired and sore, you’re relaxed, and generally feel rejuvenated.

- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 3 months ago:
I was going to say, there were definitely horny games but you wouldn’t talk about them in the open.
Honestly genshin and honkai aren’t even that bad. You want a bad one, look at nikke. Ass and titties jiggle physics: the game.

It sounds like you’ve already got a curated list of games - what are a few standout multiplayer that you enjoy?
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
There were no citations to back up relatively unknown claims besides digging through the comments of a reddit mega thread.
If that counts as making a good argument to anyone, I envy their free time, or worry for their information hygiene.
I told you I don’t care to read any more comments from you, yet you persist. Weird.
Do you fancy yourself royalty dismissing their subjects? Lol. At once, my liege, I will be gone from your sight. Toodles!
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
You have been given the opportunity to find more info if that’s insufficient.
“Do your own research”, a line associated with the great and credible orators of the internet.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
I think a compelling statement should be made with citations if it’s not a well known fact, especially when provided to a general community.
I don’t care enough about niche old game drama to chase down the facts myself.
Does that resolve your proposed cognitive dissonance?
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
“why can’t you be like everyone else?”
Idk guess I just like to verify shit before picking up the pitchfork. My b.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
I also made the 16% error lol, math is hard.
Yeah I realized the difference is unpacking the clickbait as opposed to providing a verifiable claim.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
Ah that’s fair, lol.
I realized we’re talking about two different things, you’re saying that the post unpacks the clickbait, and I’m saying that there’s no documentation of price increases, which tbf isn’t OPs main point anyways.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
Just to be clear, by “read the post” do you mean go through all the comments of the mega thread OP shared? That seems unreasonable as opposed to “OP could’ve been clearer”.
Is there a more summarized version then “all the reddit comments on a mega thread” anywhere?
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
Ah, that would’ve been much better for OP to include as an example…
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
Oh.
I don’t think I care enough about drama in a niche game to do a deep dive on all of the reddit comments to learn about something…
It would be helpful if you or OP could provide links, or at least quote things. Most passerbys simply have better things to do than to find better context of what OP is saying about a game from 20 years ago.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
I feel like I’m missing something completely - maybe I do need to learn how to read. The only thing I’m seeing on the jagex page is new prices for a handful of currencies, SEK is not one of them.
There’s no mention of past prices at all?
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
So OP wrote a misleading description when saying the increase was from $12 to $14?
I don’t play RuneScape and I’m just going off of their description, which is inconsistent and the derogatory “just read lol” has so far shown to be wrong.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
Wait hold on, how does an across the board increase from $12 USD to $14 USD result in 50% increase in price?

I’ve had the same fascination!
A video I really enjoyed was a simplified experiment where they had some cars drive around in a closed loop - a single lane circle.
Traffic jams still inevitably somehow popped up, suggesting that we’re simply bad drivers haha. Higher level autonomous cars cannot come fast enough.

The only way I’ve made used tires work is to put in a lot more leg work - pick a part salvage lots would sell them for like $20-25 ea in the past, and you can pick some good ones with good tread.
