  Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.

  If you have money to invest, you aren’t struggling to survive.

  I don’t disagree with you that slave labor is bad regardless of who, what, where, how. I disagree, however, that there’s not much difference between purchasing products you need and investing in a business.

  Some folks can’t afford anything except cheap clothing/household goods from overseas, where they are often made in sweatshops with slave and/or child labor; it’s not their fault that they can’t afford to purchase ethical products. No one needs to invest in a business, though, so choosing to invest in one that deals in slavery is that investor’s fault.

  For those of us who can afford ethically-sourced/made items, though, I agree that it’s quite similar. I have no excuses other than people are, as a whole, not good to each other. :(

  Anyone voluntarily participating in the US for-profit prison system is, almost assuredly, a problematic person with questionable morals.

  It’s literally making money off of slavery. If you would not be proud to call yourself a slave-owner, I’d hope you would also not be proud to invest in slavery.

  Royal “you,” by the way. Not OP, specifically.

  I’ve seen some folks say it could be a result of steroid abuse, and I didn’t care enough to research whether it was true. If he did abuse steroids, his supremely shrunken raisins could help explain the cybertruck.

  And not quite as perky. His chest bump is essentially in the middle of his torso. Makes me think of the 1990s polygonal Lara Croft every time I see it.

  This vandal has a garage full of downloaded cars.

  Seconding everything here, but emphasizing point 2. Some folks have metal allergies or sensitivities - nickel is a common one, for example.

  Surgical steel is usually safe, but still best to confirm she doesn’t have any particular sensitivities.

  As someone who also wasn’t sure what this was about, I appreciate the genuine (yet not graphic) explanation. Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Printer ink solution?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I want to know how they get yellow.

  There is not a single thing about this comment chain that doesn’t bring me joy.

  I was always more of a Walrus fan. Goo goo ga joob

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay frosty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish this were still the case. The last time I saw one of these was a year or so ago and I was excited to freeze. Unfortunately, the room AC was through a different, more modern, device. They just left the classic to toy with my emotions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the purpose of this plastic piece?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only time I saw one was on a cheap dollar store plug. I immediately thought it was defective.

  This is neat info!

  Yes! I love that one! Now with free shipping.

  Elle Cordova makes awesome videos; this is one of my favorites of hers.

  No, it got stuck because it’s dark, so I had to look for it with my flashlight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the streamer says their favourite pokemon is Pikachu...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so disappointed in myself that I can’t find a way to make the surprised pikachu meme an appropriate response to this.

  I cackled nonetheless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the streamer says their favourite pokemon is Pikachu...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But…I actually love pikachu and gaming. :(

  Specifically Ash’s pikachu, and no other, but still.

  Wait, does this mean Nintendo owes me money? Because I’ll accept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syrup⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This…is disturbing. And bizarre.

  I like it. Humorous NSFW wordplay may be my new kink.

  Look again at the community you’re in 😂

  As someone who has both worn makeup and grinded against furniture in my time, I consent to you making fun of JD Vance for whatever you want.

  For the nth time in general, I am calling on Lauren Boebert to provide the American people with proof of decency and respect.

  Also, some would want them to be their usual bastard selves to some convicted felons.

  It’ll be a while, since the parts would need to be made in the US if they’re going to be president.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be taking questions.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a young kid, I had a cat that was front-declawed (this was before it was well known that it’s an abusive practice - my folks didn’t know better at the time). Because he couldn’t shred the paper with his claws, he showed his spite by chewing up the roll so it looked like he’d clawed it.
