That’d actually very similar to how trig points work! It’s a giant orbiting trig point. Someone call the ordnance survey!

Bear this in mind next time something like a unite the right or Jan 6 happens.

No no, you see, chemtrails look and behave exactly like contrails. They’re entirely, completely, 100% indistinguishable from contrails. So now that theyve banned them, you can be sure that all those trails you see in the sky are pure contrails and you’ve got your local Republican politician to thank for it!

Its definitely not just that they want an easy win without actually having to do anything, do not look at the man behind the curtain!

I think the bit most people miss here is that most of these weirdly obsessed homophobic types dont think its “just a matter between two concenting adults”. Most of them, either on a consious or subconsious level believe gay marriage etc is somehow causing harm to society as a whole. It doesnt just disgust them, it quite literally terrifies them.

In the case of religeous folks, that terror can extend as far as divine retribution (i.e. floods, hurricanes, natural disasters). In non-religious folks, the terror is probably more akin to stuff like “the breakdown of law and order” or some nebulous threat of societal upheival creating chaos. But in a sense, both are effectively the same because it wont ever work to tell them to “just ignore it”.

When was the last time that calmly explaining to a religious zealot that their god doesnt exist actually succeeded in convincing them?

I dont know the actual solution to this problem. At least for the religeous folks, it will have to involve religeous figures demonstrating acceptance and disavowing sects that refuse along with a lot of actual progress and exposure to get people to empathise and humanise lgbtq+ people and realise that theyre not a threat. Its possible, its actually quite easy once the balls rolling, but its a difficult thing to do to start i think.

And this is obviously not to excuse or diminish the actions of homophobes and anti-progressives. But its important to actually understand the root of the problem if its going to be possible to change them for the better in the future.

Not so fun fact, ths cia used “i love you” by barney the dinosaur as a method of torture for prisoners during the war on terror and beyond!

I would shoot hitler twice, then bin laden, then beat meta to death with the gun because it would hurt more.

If being declined concent is going to kill your industry then maybe your industry deserved to die.

Fucking rapist mentaility right there.

Idk what cables and devices youve been buying but ive seen an insane difference in durability going to micro to c.

For a start, none of my usb c cables have lost their gripping strength, one of which ive been using daily for over 6 years.

None of my usb c devices have had the central pin blade thing fall off or fatige to the point of not making a connection,

The one down side ive seen to usb c is that when i accidentally rolled my chsir over a connector, it did crush the oval inwards but i pried that open again and stuck it in my desk mic and its been working fine since.

Also, lead walking! Most cats can be trained to be very receptive to lead walking especially if you start them young. Your cat still gets the enrichment from walking around outside and all the lovely smells and sights that entails but without the danger of cars or the cat killing everything is feels like.

I mean ive never tried it. Perhaps theyre onto something?

Which continental model you use here is entirely irrelevant anyway because in neither model is north america referred to as just “america”. The only time that just “America” is used is to refer to the union of north and south america.

There is no country of America. There is the united states of america which would make the pope a statesman. So you can have the first north american pope, the first statesman pope, or just settle for second american pope.

Hes the second American pope. America refers to both north and south america. The United States of America only referes to a part of America.

He may be the first north american pope and the first pope from the united states of america, but hes not the first american pope.

Idk if its the same where you are or not but cars in my country DO have multiple internal tiedowns throughout the passenger cabin. Theyre called seatbelts and you are supposed to secure any heavy objects using them. Infact, if you as a driver have not secured heavy objects down and one of them kills or injures a passenger, you can get prosecuted for negligence.

Sure, i dont know the exact intention behind the law, and it being a fine does indeed serve as revenue stream for cops, but it does at least in part help prosecute drivers who are putting theie passengers at risk while promoting safe driving habits.

Depends on how many people are in the car doesnt it?

Dude, not even sofas are safe.

1 or 3. I cant stand forks with curved outer tines. 2 is good but i prefer a straight handle over a curved one. My preferance leans towards 3 though as 1 looks like it would have slightly sharp stamped edges.

If someone tries to srike up conversation with me in the toilets my first thought is that im about to be mugged

Honestly, if the culture war has been going on this long and the “greatest victory” they can show for it is feeling comfortable using the r slur again, thats just deeply sad for them lol.

As if thats not bad enough, someone wrote an entire book that contains the exact date and manner of my death and put it in the library of babel.

You can emulate almost any Nintendo game from before 2016 on a steamdeck. Just got to wait a few more years for the switch emulators to get efficient enough to run well on the steam deck!
