  They would at MEPS, except the nurse would use a pen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't wait.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  At least English doesn’t have a “she” table, a “he” refrigerator, and a “neutral” lamp for everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t believe how cheap TVs are. I think I bought a 22” CRT 25 years ago and it was easily over $200.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Did it sell out to actual individuals or did scalpers buy up a bunch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the worst among us sacrifice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’re tbe same people that were snidely putting the Biden versions on the pumps a few years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or does it seem Google is either AI filled or becoming obsolete? Is there an up and comer that can be what Google used to be? Or are we stuck oogling stuff forever?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Google is garbage. It’s a complaint I’ve had for quite a while now. It used to be good at searching and obeying modifiers (-, “quotes” and the like). It would give you tens of pages of results and the result you wanted would almost always be on the first page. Now all it does is give you, in order: AI results that are incomplete or wrong, the best monetized youtube results, sponsored results, and then shitty SEO site results, and you’ll be lucky if any of that contains what you’re looking for. So you try “-“ to eliminate some garbage, but google takes that as incentive to offer you even more of what you don’t want. Then you try “search term” in quotes to be specific, and google offers zero results. Like in the billions of web pages that exist, nobody has ever written or discussed the thing you’re looking for? You get zero because it isn’t monetized or something.

  Google is no longer a search engine, it’s an ad-server returning profitably monetized web pages.

  Wrong /c/ for logic, friend.

  Damn. Lol.

  While not everyone should have kids and I fully support people choosing not to have any…

  You can have this and have kids. Just not every day. Unless you’re stupid wealthy and have a nanny or something.

  But maybe I’m weird and am one of the few that actually like my kids and having them around. Sure, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but not so much that I want to escape them or anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. All the stuff the kids watched. Pixar, Dreamworks, and others. Not so much the episodic cartoons, but I’ve seen quite a few of those, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people get fined for breaking the law and it goes to the state or county? Why doesn't the fine go to the victim or victims? Instead of having to pay restitution just fine them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because that’s a profit motive, and for better or worse, you often need to have money to hire a lawyer and file a civil suit to get money as a victim.

  If the State prosecuted crimes for you to get financial compensation I can assume you can see how problematic that might become.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like this version better than the stacked version. Definitely way more surface real estate for condiments and additions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PAWG P-A-W-G⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. TIL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PAWG P-A-W-G⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. What’s PAWG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll never guess what number one is!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone’s always figured out a “better way” than y’know, actual scientists. Always some bizarre conspiracy over why they’re “hiding” the real better way to do something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really care? Karma isn’t a thing here. If people want to downvote they can knock themselves out. Anyone checking my comment history that far back would come across this discussion and figure out real quick I got brigaded.

  Are you JAQing me off?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New mrbeast video is dark⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  Also, fuck Mr. Beast. A billionaire proposing yet another Trolley Problem for amusement and engagement bait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lotta you lot in here 👀⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically a beggar in rough clothing. Street kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  .ml deleted yet another comment I made on a normal news article pretty much saying something similar about authoritarians. And the mod had the balls to chastise me after deleting my comment and butwhatabout-ing “American imperialism” or some BS.

  I would have never even commented had I realized it was .ml. What a bullshit place that is, their private little Pravda and Memory Hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Language barrier⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think English is very context driven where I find other languages much more specific and precise. The word “cool” for instance can probably have a dozen different meanings depending on context so perversely IMO simple English can be sorted out by feel more easily where other languages are less tolerant of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Language barrier⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, it really is easier to get the gist of what someone is saying in a foreign language that one has some familiarity with, but constructing a sentence with the correct words and grammar is a completely different game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Example of how logic works in Clown World⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  August Weismann figured this out quite a while ago.

  (And Mendel, but he didn’t do “body mods.”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That logic works just fine if you have all the money and lawyers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember, they are the good guys. These are just the US ones.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A couple of those were directly profit motivated vs the government choosing to do some f’d up stuff on their own. Yeah, government stepped in, but who started the problem isn’t the same. Either way, wealthy people pushing the government to crush the peasantry for them isn’t much difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lmao⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconded. Bautista did dumb-funny well in Guardians, serious in 2049, and just plain old acting in something like Glass Onion. He does a lot better than some top billed actors IMO, but then he has some mediocre characters too. Win some, lose some.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immune⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wash them if you can. I find most poly filled pillows get lumpy if washed. But, you can toss your pillows in the dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes. That helps kill some smells, bacteria, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guessed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Game of telephone with that one, worse with every telling. No deer turned anyplace into a desert. Just the reintroduction of wolves improved the overall health of an ecosystem. I believe it was Yellowstone.
