Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)

Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it’s still better than twitter

He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.

Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff is trying to own the concept of award shows

Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Well… I wish I hadn’t seen that

No way he doesn’t have something under his shirt, right?

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.

On the one hand this is creepy as hell

On the other fuck mosquitoes

The bottom arrow is, definitionally, pointing left.

If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?

No, because humans have a pretty clear forward direction. Screws don’t. You say turn a screw to the right, do you mean make the top of the screw move right or the bottom move right?

Most people assume the top, but not all, and the language is ambiguous.

If you’re looking head on to the screw/nut/whatever then we’re talking about the top of the screw/but/whatever.

You can also imagine if the nut was actually a wheel. Which way would you spin it to make it roll left or right.

Confused the hell out of me at a young age. That’s how I came around to thinking of it

Even she could not save the Borderlands movie

I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available

Clearly, op agrees

It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don’t travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don’t often have to tell people where we’re from who don’t already have a good grasp of American geography.

Also, frankly, people can usually tell we’re American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.

You could probably sell Americans on lowering the drinking age in many States, but there’s some big legal hurdles and pretty much everyone agrees we’ve got bigger problems to deal with first.

It’s typically both. So little chlorine you won’t notice unless you have a particular condition like op or you’re doing something weird like growing algae. You can also just leave a glass of water out for a while and the chlorine will evaporate out of it.
