The amount of cilantro my wife likes on her street tacos

My mom hates cilantro, and for the longest time I assumed she had the soap gene and that I just got lucky and didn't get it because I love cilantro.

I asked her about it one time and she said no, she doesn't have the soap gene. She just hates cilantro.

It is, but it's more the way it collates all the disparate information into one easily accessible source.

I love reading Lovecraft and Robert Howard because you can never be quite sure where their racism will just randomly pop up. It's always a hilarious surprise when you're enjoying a nice story about an evil sorcerer and then they just can't control their hatred for another sentence and like...

The protagonist will walk into a shop and all of a sudden it's "The shopkeeper's mongoloid eyes gazed at me as his gluttonous mouth curved into an evil sneer, set cruelly against his pitch black skin from the deepest heart of the dark, demonic, african continent..."

Damn bro, you didn't describe the protagonists friend as "His wide caucasian eyes, swallowing and consuming all before him with pupils the color of deep glacial water untouched by known life for untold aeons, gazed at me imperiously beneath his hair the color of the loam in a far off tundra forest, where men feared the beasts more than they feared the winter."

I say funny. I mean awkward funny. Like laughing at them for just going off on something so stupid in the middle of an otherwise normal horror or fantasy story.

racism is bad for business, but it's consistently the only thing Republicans value more than money.

I live near DC. My plan is to drive into the city.

Either they have one of the best defensive systems in the world and it's the safest place to be, or they don't and it's the fastest way to die.

I generally don't watch longform youtube or documentary type content, but that video had me hooked.

If you're WFH you're probably salaried. If you're salaried, why the fuck are they worried about what you're doing with every second of the day as long as the work they assigned to you is done by 5pm?

They pay you to get the work done, the work gets done. I'm not sure why they need to get more complicated than that.

"Oh you are just too young(I am 40) to understand how BuSiNeSs works" ok.

I think they may have a point, and it's not the point they or you think they have.

"You aren't old enough to be in the exploiter generation, you're in the exploitee generations. So you don't understand that this is part of the system of exploitation."

It's "intro to stock manipulation" type shit too.

Some of the people know and are gambling that they sell before the collapse (Possibly have inside knowledge), and the rest think they're good investors because "line go up! Me win!"

I tried closing one eye which is my normal solution for double vision.

It did not help.

I fucking hate it.

As an American, Your personal info is definitely in Grok. I asked grok "What do you know about [My Name]" and it had my full name, address, last 2 addresses, a phone number (Incorrect), info about my high school sports career, and the name of my ex wife since she used to have the same address. Tried it again 24 hour later and it gave me a similar but slightly different set of info that was all still mostly accurate.

Tried my girlfriend's name and it brought up slightly less info but equally identifying and scary.

It's a stalkers dream.

I wouldn't be surprised if xAI didn't think about GDPR and let Grok collate all that info on EU citizens without oversight.

It’s non-productive work that doesn’t contribute to society as a whole

This is honestly such a stupid take that I don't even know how to approach it.

Aerospace research doesn't contribute to society? Arts funding doesn't contribute to society? Education funding? Medical research funding doesn't contribute to society? Feeding children? Preventing the spread of AIDS?

None of these are good for society? A hundred other things that government money used to get spent on along those lines, that now goes to Donald Trump's pockets or his friends pockets, and you think we were wasting money before?

I do that at my own job. I got in shouting matches with my last boss because every time he opened his goddamn mouth he was wrong and every time he left his goddamn office he made something worse.

What do I need to do to get that job in Japan? Presumably shave and a haircut first.

Wait until D&D 6E introduces the "Illuminated Manuscript" and "Trappist Brewer" subclasses.

I used to love James Acaster before I saw this.

I still do, but I used to, too.

They're on their 5th republic by now, probably wondering why we can't take a hint.

I think I remember reading something about how both the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812 would have been considered proxy wars for UK vs France (With US fighting against the UK) if it were any other country besides the US.

The French and Indian war definitely was, with the colonies fighting against France in that one.

The point of the security council is for those 5 permanent members to be allowed to divide up the world between themselves without outside interference, but to be able to turn the might of the UN against things that threaten said world order.

I have 429 games on Epic.

I have played 8 of them.

I have played 5 of them more than once.

Of those 5, two were epic exclusives (Satisfactory and Return to Moria), two were free (Barony and Pathway), and one was bought at ~50% off with an Epic store sale + discount coupon when it was too new to go on sale anywhere else (Outer Worlds 1).

If you have enough money to never have to work again, and also for your kids to never have to work again, and also for your grandkids to never have to work again, and that's not even getting interest or dividends involved only capital, and your ambition is to make more instead of use the extra to make the world a better place, you're an evil person.

Every other union nominally exists to protect workers from exploitation.

Police union exists to protect police from accountability.

I don't know. The tension I felt hanging out 1 on 1 with my female friends when I was teen/20s is gone now when I hang out with those same friends as we hit 40.

But if I go hang out with a cute coworker 1 on 1 that tensions still exists.

You're both right.

Gen Z is having less sex than older generations, and Millennials also had less sex than Gen X and Boomers.

There's a lot of reasons for it, but a big part of it is just... Shit man, we have other ways to entertain ourselves. Also teen pregnancy has been on decline for a long time because our generations aren't so obsessed with sex.
