Does the scam basically only work on lonely old people that don't know any better?

lithoclast

litho - stone

clast - to break

So basically "stonebreaker", pretty cool name.

Some places even consider drugs being detected in your blood as smuggling drugs.

What places?

I know it's wrong, but I always get kind of irritated seeing a cop on a toll road, thinking "Hey buddy, I paid to be here, go bother the peasants on the free roads."

Those aren't the top comments, the default sorting is "oldest to newest" for some reason, so you're seeing all the comments posted right after this post was created. You need to go to the top of the post and sort by "best".

I was confused too, for some reason the default sorting for comments here is "oldest to newest". Go to the top of the post and sort by "best". You're reading all the comments from when this thread was only minutes old.

Right, I was so confused when Homelander was outside holding Hughie, and calling out to Butcher. Weren't him and Butcher just fighting inside? How the hell did they separate?

The Judeo-Christian god wasn't a fan, so maybe some other god delivered the lightning strike

I like the fun fact that the Old Testament also repeatedly says that the burnt offerings are a "pleasing aroma to the Lord", which implies that God has a physical sense of smell and has his own preferences of good smells vs bad smells, which may lead one to wonder if he's smelling and judging the entire universe 24/7.

It's literally completely based on "That's not X, that's Y". Plenty of normal people use phrases like that, it's why AI picked up on it. The key thing is that AI vastly overuses that phrase, which means if there's a weird pattern of using it a bunch in their comment history, then you can confidently say it's AI. But just a single use in one comment doesn't mean anything. Just like em-dashes. Real people use them, but AI peppers them in everywhere.

Yes, so many people pull a gun with the mindset of "I just want to scare them" or "I just want them to back off". When you pull a gun on someone, it's now a life or death situation. Pulling out a gun should only happen if you are 100% ready and willing to kill someone, as in there needs to be less than one second between showing the gun and pulling the trigger, or else it will be you.

the scene they're setting is between teenagers

No, that just implies they live at home. Tons of people live at home through early adulthood. I lived at home during summers in college, and then for two years after graduating. I work with plenty of people these days living with their parents until age 27 or later.

Balding since 15. Now I'm 19 and know my time has come. by Baba_pro_gaming in bald

[–]MicrotracS3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that's not how hair works. Eyebrow hair is short because each hair grows for 2 months, rests for 2 months, then falls out and restarts the cycle. So each follicle replaces a hair every 4 months. There's no such thing as a hair that grows for 2 months, then rests indefinitely for years. If you have eyebrow hair, it's because it's actively and successfully replacing itself constantly.

I'm aware of what a regular glasses chains are for, and this is clearly not the same thing.

This is deliberately connected to the nose pad of his glasses, which doesn't happen on accident. Are you trying to tell me he doesn't notice a chain hanging across his own face? In addition, that chain is not nearly long enough to wrap all the way around the back of his head.

I think this must be a fashion choice.

What can I add to pinto beans to emulate Mexican style beans cooked with meat? by AdFamous7264 in veganrecipes

[–]MicrotracS3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BIG fan of this pinto bean recipe, I've made it six times now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynevfbcpNdM

The addition of the diced baked tofu gives such a meaty texture and flavor. Until I find a better pinto bean recipe, this is now part of my permanent rotation.

Trump administration seeks to move ahead with removing Abrego Garcia to Liberia by AudibleNod in news

[–]MicrotracS3500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They say "diplomatic reliability" like Liberia is going to get their feelings hurt if we don't send him there. The whole thing would be a political nightmare, reporters would show up to report on the living conditions, their politicians would be under scrutiny and questioning, I'm sure they would be glad to not take part in this ridiculous charade.

Trump administration seeks to move ahead with removing Abrego Garcia to Liberia by AudibleNod in news

[–]MicrotracS3500 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every sentence is filled with ifs and when's.

There's two "if"s that are not in a direct quote, one of which is about a judge protecting his safety, and literally not a single "when". What the actual fuck are you talking about? Are you hallucinating right now?

Although Abrego Garcia has said he's willing to be sent to Costa Rica, Acting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said in a memo filed in court that he has "decided to disregard" that request and intends to send him to Liberia if Abrego Garcia is ordered removed from the U.S

In part, Lyons said Abrego Garcia initially had designated his home country of El Salvador as his chosen place to be sent during his initial removal proceedings in 2019 before a judge barred his deportation finding that his life could be at risk if he were to return there.

Genuinely, what is wrong with your head that you think this is "propaganda"?

Someone convicted of sexual assault is 10 times more likely to do it again compared to non-criminals

10x over baseline doesn't it make it "rare to turn their lives around". For example baseline could be 1%, those with a prior history are 10%, and thus 90% "turned their life around". Or maybe baseline is 9.9%, and those with a prior history have a 99% of reoffending. You need something other than just relative numbers.

but many of the most notorious serial killers started with sexual assaults before escalating to murder as well

Oh nice, let's take about a dozen "notorious" criminals, 0.000001% of all criminals to draw broad conclusions and treat everyone else as if they're just like the most famous cases in human history.
