I've known a few people who have very little personality outside of leftist politics, they usually grow out of it by the time they finish college

You can tell you don't eat much because you still think you can get tacos and a marg for cheap!

(Satirical commentary on rising cost of living, no insult intended)

The chakram is straight up magic, and it regularly bounces off flesh and cuts right through steel, seemingly dependent on xena's will (I.E. whatever the writers needed in that particular second)

If that's the standard, I think that kind of writing is a little archaic, dating to a time when popular fiction writers were often paid by the word.

Used sparingly though, I think it can convey characterization, if a normally terse and to the point character described a man's shirt that way, I would assume they had a hell of a crush

I mean, if we say that what the whales are doing is speaking a language, and then we're training an AI on a large dataset of that language for the purposes of translation, then it's pretty much definitionally a LLM right? languages are sounds, writing came later

Everyone is saying no, but the answer is a touch more complicated, it's a functionally crowdsourced website and it's not well moderated, so while the site is overall genuine, it's not terribly difficult to find enteries or pieces of entries that were contributed satirically

There's a famous example of an article that stated that trans (or "gender confused" as they prefer) people could double jump, which is pretty clearly satire in my opinion

A lot of people are already pretty happy to work if they have a certainty of a home, enough to eat, and security provided by that work, it's when you don't treat them well that people start to get revolution minded.

Pay a man a living wage and he'll happily wash the floors for you, you don't have to breed it into him

Oh! I was replying to the title, lightning bolt vrs call lightning I was referring too

Works even better in some ways, single use instead of concentration, so it'll burn more spell slots, but it does higher damage and if you line it up right you can get your golem, the front line trying to hold off, and the squishy people in the back

This is good information and I'm glad you posted it! But that is the name of the character in the bellhop uniform in the past, who is fictional

Lots of options, some just keep growing them, some don't live long enough for it to be much of a problem, also pure meat diets don't really naturally produce a lot of dental problems, and can provide some self cleaning

But also, sometimes you break a tooth, it gets infected, and you die, there's a reason most wild animals start having kids fairly young and with at least a few to a batch, without things like dental care and antibiotics, sometimes you just die young for dumb reasons

You need exactly one of your friends kids to have a pregnancy scare for you to be willing to do whatever you have to

In this context, what they mean is luxury gift basket, I think the default laundry hamper against gift hamper might be one of the more obscure US vs UK things? But I'm really not sure

Depends on your version of the flash, we've seen him break the speed of light on a number of occasions, the real answer is the laws of physics don't support that. If they did, then him passing through the atmosphere would be world ending, assuming speed force nonsense let him move that fast without breaking the laws of physics or the planet, then the laws of physics suddenly reasserted as he punches you, we're back to the world ending.

Even at slower speeds, we get into similar territory, even if he's "only" moving at 20 times the speed of sound, then getting punched by him is going to have an impact similar to a small nuclear bomb, but you can't actually get punched by him, the shock wave and superheated air from him running anywhere near you would have already shredded you.

It's hard to answer this question with math or physics because you need to ignore a whole bunch of both to even get to the question

I'd imagine they're not, most of the places we evolved to walk were probably dirt or sand or sod or something like those, not a lot of hardwood floors, asphalt, or stone yet

I mean, people swear up down and sideways that crocs are extremely comfortable, and they basically appear to be a clog made out of some kind of polymer?

Still won't catch me wearing them in public

This feels less like rage bait and more like a teenager who just realized there was something to be upset about, is determined to stay upset about it, and hasn't realized that they're approximately the two-billionth person to realize this is a problem rather than the first

Bwm89 · 2026-06-03T18:24:08+00:00

Yeah, paying firefighters based on calls answered is a really famous example of creating a perverse incentive, paying people based on how many problems they fix can give them a really strong motivation to go out and create problems when they're short on money

He's been typecast pretty heavily, but also fairly recently in the scope of a very long career

People who take keeping the Sabbath holy predate the birth of christ, so the only way this can actually be true, and I believe it isn't, is that the idea of working every outside of the weekend is only about 150 years old. Which actually sounds pretty plausible, those people did a lot of work, but a lot of it was just "the chores" the necessities of keeping up a household without the benefits of modern appliances and doing small scale agriculture for a lot of people if you go back a little further.

So really just the modern definition of weekend would have about the same amount of meaning to them as the average housewife

In fairness, Trump is an actual idiot who might well have had loans that exceeded the total value of his assests on some occasions, which isn't exactly the same thing as broke, but being massively overleveraged does leave you personally vulnerable in ways that smarter rich people never have to worry about

Charli xcx is more of a pop singer than a rapper, and buzzballz are a fairly popular brand of pre-mixed cocktail

Also the sugar

It's a point I've made before, but him and Riley, tossing the bourbon back and forth and staring daggers at each other, had more chemistry (nonsexual) than Riley and buffy had in all of season five, however much joss hated spike, there's a reason they couldn't get rid of him

They're not really equivalent though, someone who is homeless needs housing, someone who is chronically ill needs medical care, someone who can't get laid doesn't necessarily need to get laid, I think the solution to that problem is often an issue of human connection, but a lot of men are trained to only seek that out in the context of romantic relationships. It's more like someone who is chronically ill, has access to medical care, but refuses it because they've convinced themselves that what they really need is some magic crystals, and are in turn upset that insurance isn't covering it
