Imagine its 1994 or so, and you've just met a girl. Then you find out that she has set up a website to post pics of herself communicates regularly with guys who find her pics on that site has gone on a bunch of "dates" with guys who sent her messages on that site ... I have a principle. If a...

LoL that thing is supposed to be somebody's love interest? Wasn't pre-surgery megan fox the love interest in the earlier one? Clown world is so fucked up sometimes. Are there no attractive actresses left in hollywood or something?

even here - a text based forum - we've gone from literate arguments written out in text to literally just a place for people to post tiktoks. We used to have Lithose posts. Now we have one fucking tiktok after another. (Somebody is gonna come in an object, hey we also post youtube!) our...

Its so weird how all the straight white male superhero actors keep avoiding sexual harassment charges. Must be that white supremacy I hear so much about.

S1e4, spock says "phenomenons". Mother fucking Spock. I like this show but I dunno if I can keep going

TIL the Carrington Event was a nothingburger compared to its big brother the Miyake event https://bigthink.com/hard-science/miyake-event-worse-carrington-event/ That last line is profound. I considered putting this in the Ancient Civ thread. Its not clear that a technological society could...

Every time I saw that movie I was like WTF, why didnt he just scramble them? You can spare the extra 1-2 minutes bro, it'll be ok.

PIN number is even more common

raw egg white is a bridge too far. hell no. I am not making any health claims. but fuck eating raw egg white.

This was an interesting post cause it made me look shit up. Apparently electrons have been induced to move at nearly the speed of light in some materials. Also apparently when electrons move super fast it causes emission of gamma radiation. I may have all of this wrong cause nuclear physics is...

No idea who any of those people are, but bottom right for superman left for lois seem to be the only even remotely passable choices. Top right lois, surely thats a dude, right?

I got audited the first year I filed schedule C. After sending them 5 fucking hundred pages of documentation, they gave me every penny plus interest. Now it just feels like a game. Whats the worst theyre gonna do, audit me? oh no

And once you get audited once, the fear of audit goes away completely and you realize how much room for creativity there is in taxes. Especially once you toss a schedule C and a schedule F on the pile. I swear they must just use a RNG to determine who gets audited.

If I'm an ant, from my perspective, human behavior toward ants absolutely constitutes war. Also, if I'm an ant who notices humans and has the ability to wage war, damn straight it's war, for our survival. Nobody said war only happens between equals. The existence of sentient aliens would be a...

Yeah I don't disagree at all about the mechanics youre describing. I'm just saying that I constantly run into people who act like the decay will eat your profit if you hold longer than 1 day. The magnitude of the decay is all I was quibbling over. I find that many people overestimate it. I wish...

decay over time is wildly overestimated, especially on a little barely leveraged ETF like NVDS Dont hold them years :) My NVDS is a week or so old, I'll probably sell in the next couple days. not cause holding longer would be too risky but because its already a small profit and thats my...

UFOs are fake and gay, but if they were real, it would be hugely important for exactly this reason. Either they kill us or we kill them. The history of non-human hominids shows what happens when sentient species come into contact. Except in the case of aliens, without the occasional oops...

LoL. Thanks, that clarifies it. How hilarious. I wonder what my flip phone texts do to their silly bullshit.

Ever see a comedy skit that refers to like some movie or TV show you've never seen or heard of? Thats the experience I'm having right now WRT the blue text comment. I know from experience that if I ask I'm gonna get even more confused so I'm just gonna leave it alone.

Doesnt even matter much which coffee you buy, as long as its whole bean, not flavored, and reasonably fresh. Whatevers on sale is fine. The only important things are grind your own fresh before brewing and then dont add a bunch of bullshit to it. just water as hot as you can get it, and...

Hey, you'll notice I never said Apple didnt have effective advertising campaigns.

This. Everything Apple sells is inferior in some major way to the alternative but sells for a huge premium, and a large fraction of the population just guzzles that shit down and cant wait for more. It is the biggest tech investing paradox for me. How could they even survive let alone be like...

It's funny cause in relative terms they're not really worse than iphones or macs I read this as the market acknowledging that vr is fucking dumb

The mosquito eradication plans are pretty far along in terms of trying different approaches. In this thread people have expressed curiousity how engineering a less fit mosquito would work, supposing that they'd just be outcompeted by the more fit wild relatives. Its a reasonable objection. The...

Its all Project Blue Beam until proven otherwise.

your people literally serve instant coffee I mean, not as a deliberate insult, which can be kind of funny depending on context. your people serve this as an actual beverage. Thinking its coffee. No one from your Abo sniffing crocodiles asshole of a country is ever allowed to talk about...

I'm I'm after caffeine I'm drinking it the way God intended I just dont get why teapots still exist

The weirdest thing is there are Americans who still dont. Instead they wait like 5 fucking minutes and are rewarded with the second worst sound on the planet

wait a second. an internet discussion has undergone a slight derail from its original topic? Somebody call a mod. This is as unacceptable as it is unprecedented

I mean, it meant your mortgage was paid off in Scotland if you want to get attached to historical meanings. Like most traditions its detached from its original roots, now a red door just symbolizes hospitality for people who are into that symbolizing shit. I think it also has some Fung Shuei...

I've got a little NVDS. That shits ridiculous right now. I'm not sure what needs to be said about entry strategy on that one other than looking at the 1y or 5y charts. If not now, I'm not sure what signal a person could be waiting for.

The tipping thing is funny. I spent most of my life as a big defender of tipping. I worked in the restaurant industry long enough to know it was baked into the industry in that case so I was always a big proponent of tipping. But they've taken it so far I'm ready to go full Mr Pink. And if...

I don't know if anyones commented on this yet, but just go with me for a minute. Mermaids are part fish, right? Some fish - flounder, sole, and halibut, for example - undergo a remarkable transformation as they age. Their eyes start on opposite sides of their head like most fish. But over time...

I looked it up, Red is a traditional color for front doors dating back to like 17th or 18th century Scotland and the early US. Now that I know colorful front doors piss some people off I'm tempted to paint mine, except whats the point? if people can see your front door from the road you're...

That reminds me, I can't believe I've forgotten to wish you all a happy Pride Month Because I care about citing source, https://www.sdlgbtn.com/how-do-gay-guys-sit/

@Amod should fix this title and people who use apostrophes to indicate plurals should be IP banned from the internet

Yeah, I've tried three kinds of traps and none have ever caught a gopher. My wife worries traps will get the dog. But for fucks sakes, you can buy another dog. I never understood caddyshack as a kid.

I havent looked into the details of this Grail test but if it uses Illumina Sequencing its quite likely that the error was caused by a well known issue specific to this sequencing platform ("barcode crosstalk"). If so it could really hit ILMN hard. Like I said I don't know if that was the cause...

and yet they still sat like regular human males (yeah, technically roman, idgaf)

https://pjmedia.com/culture/gwendolynsims/2023/06/03/um-no-thanks-guess-what-stores-with-self-service-checkouts-want-from-you-now-n1700175 lmao I already get pretty rustled about the bullshit "will you round up for a donation to charity X"? (Fuck you - this is straight up tax fraud, asking...
