Y’all don’t sneak in snacks? It’s cold out and it’s easy to sneak in soda bottles in a jacket. I snuck in a KFC meal in my jacket to watch Avengers Endgame.

I’m genuinely dumbfounded that you even managed to spend that much at the movies.

Peoples’ values generally align with what’s in their personal best interest. Zuckerberg and Musk see the trend towards oligarchy and are happy to signal to the kingmakers that they are on the same side.

I grew up in Spartanburg, SC and find this unsurprising.

You guys are gunna freak out when you find out about dynamo hubs.

It would be bullying and misogyny.

Wash chickens lunch?

What do you mean “skill against skill”?

In my perfect world, sports wouldn’t be gendered, but would have some sort of class system like boxing weight classes. The best boxers in the world will be the heavyweights but smaller people can still compete against somebody their size. Why did boxing figure this out before basketball got height classes? I’ll never know.

Another way of interpreting your comment is dismissing differences and simply making people all compete against each other. This would obviously exclude all women from most sports so you’d have to be a pretty committed misogynist to think that was preferable to gendered sports.

That’s a crazy comparison to make. Segregation excludes people while women’s sports includes people. Many “men’s” leagues are actually just open. The only reason women don’t join is due to sociological and cultural reasons. As women integrate more into the culture, women’s leagues are less and less needed since the women who want to compete will prefer the open league. It’s an inclusive force.

Frankly, if you start by trying to include women and end up segregating based on race, I question whether you were ever working in good faith.

Exactly. I know chess has women-only events and open events. There is no men’s event. There just wouldn’t be any women if a space weren’t dedicated to women. The culture is so male dominated that it’s needed with no respect to advantage. I imagine e-sports is the same way.

Is this worth bragging about? The purpose of the Shahed is to keep air defense systems busy. They’re cheap for Russia to mass produce and expensive for Ukraine to shoot down. Russia lobs a bunch of them at cities, forcing Ukraine to divert air defenses away from the front line.

I like it. I’m a cyclist and the bike lane is already blocked all the time by delivery trucks. These are a more human scale alternative to those. The visibility of these in the bike lane will spread the idea that the bike lane is serious infrastructure that should be plowed and maintained. Even if it isn’t the last step, it seems like a step in the right direction.

A cis man getting breast reduction surgy is a form of gender affirming care. Tranphobes won’t acknowledge that fact because cis people get surgeries and it’s normal. When trans people get surgeries, it should be made illegal.

The only way to find new music you like is to occasionally listen to music you don’t like.

Is this trolling? I’ve never heard any of these fake quotes.

I’ve never been a big fragrance guy. When I found out about people like you, I decided to just go fragrance free. If it’s not a big deal to me and it gives a few people headaches to be near me, might as well just not do it. There are some tangential benefits. My deodorant irritates my armpits less now. My hair oil used to irritate my skin if it got on my forehead. Now it doesn’t.

It was cultish. What really woke us up to that reality was googling the org and finding a bunch of people online who got wrapped up in it and how they were isolated from friends and family. The “cadres” were basically living off the grid upstairs from the office living off of donated food. Anything that wasn’t 100% time commitment was not enough.

Also don’t join a political cult. My friend and I were briefly wrapped up in a political cult thinking we were part of something cool. Then they started demanding more time from us. They made my friend feel stupid for needing to spend less time in the cult to take some classes.

No flavor‽ Sure if there’s 6 of them on top of a burger bun you won’t taste it. There’s a Greek restaurant near me that serves bread covered in sesame seeds and it’s a very noticeable flavor improvement. Have you ever had sesame sticks? They’re delicious.

Man I wish we had better terminology for this type of game. Roguelike and roguelite give the same energy as “Doom-clone” for every fps in the 90s. Later we called them FPS games. That genre has since been refined into tactical shooters, arcade shooters, milsim, etc. Meanwhile, we’re still stuck calling all games that have randomized runs “rogue-likes”. Being pedantic about the definition doesn’t make this situation better.
