  • but you were certainly thinking it loudly. or how else was one to interpret 'people from the 18th century wouldn't be able to do something if it was technically challenging'?

  • a noose or an axe both put much more need on the skill of the executioner, while the guillotine puts more need on the skill of the engineer. both the axe and the noose are materially simpler, but still very fuckupable without special skills or training, while the guillotine, once built, is much more simply operated by one with less expertise. the guillotine is a tool of mass execution, and its apparent mechanical complexity is there to facilitate that, via ease of operation and resetability.

  • i'm actually curious what they think the third color is, cause, at least where i am, grocery stores almost always have green, red, yellow, and orange.

  • if we assume the bottom right corner is a right angle and is the center of the arc, then it is solvable in the manners that others here have already described. if either of those is not the case, and the image itself doesn't state, then there is insufficient information to solve it.

  • it is a rhetorical technique, to present two alternatives, one of which is obviously terrible, to reinforce the correctness of the other option.

    it is extremely clear that these parents do not consider beating and supporting their kids to be equally valid alternatives.

  • when i got ghosted by my job, i wish i'd started looking for a new one sooner, before burning through so much of my savings.

  • actually there's this new thing they just came up with called 'bad dreams'. it's literally bad times, in dreams!

  • i have a counter-inquiry about boofing progesterone: why?

  • it looks like a stoop to me, but maybe you know better.

  • nobody, i'd guess. everyone just vibecodes their own personal shovelware. if theres any bugs, they just make some new slop and hope it's less buggy than the old slop.

  • what the heck is going on with the stairs just kinda ending?

  • kinda makes 'detransitioning' sound like a bit of a misnomer. more like retransitioning really.

  • prussia? i thought she was a proud polish girl from toronto. did she lie to me? T_T

  • i don't doubt that that is an added benefit. but the timing of his new human accessory (right after another shitty CEO got assassinated) seems to lend strong evidence to the 'human shield' hypothesis playing a roll. the kid can be both a PR move and a meat shield.

  • i feel like each sentence of that was less coherent than the one before. you should keep going, get weirder with it, see where you end up.

  • if they already have a local central heating system (extremely cool, never heard of that before), then why the heck not?

  • girl inbred

  • that's mean.

  • i'm a little confused why you ever "always considered [yourself] bi", when nothing you've told us here even remotely seems to point you to that conclusion.
