Tall brunette, striking blue eyes. She did dye it blonde before I knew her.

I wasn’t speaking about anyone in particular in this case.

So, no forgiveness?

Sounds like my ex… From Seattle. Does the word “Ace” mean anything to you?
- Comment on Great Advertise 3 days ago:
Line weight. The round eyes. The color. The exact same smile. Same angles to the viewer. 45 or direct… There are so many telltale signs.

You’d love to know it’s still sold in Japan.

Someone who likes flavored selzer waters?

Reminds me of the meme I saw two weeks ago where a wife said her husband had been drinking a White Claw before work because he thought they were energy drinks. That shit’s hilarious.

So, like the Chinese national merit system? That’s super fair and nothing ever goes wrong.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
That’s corporate social media/apps in general. Does this thing basically let people list crappy things that happened to them by specific humans?
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
How does this app even work?
- Comment on Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold 1 week ago:
“All you have to do is find it.”
The value of gold is not just in its properties, luster, purity, etc., but also in the effort it takes to find or mine it. So, sure. Trip over a nugget and you’re…golden.
The same concept can be loosely applied to the abstraction of crypto currency. It takes energy and computational effort to acquire if you don’t just buy it.
- Comment on Rain barrels are the exact opposite of "Saving it for a rainy day" 1 week ago:
If it weren’t for the lengthy explanation after the title, I’d say this is the real “showerthoughts” post I’ve seen in weeks.
I don’t understand why this lemmy comm has such a hard time with the concept.
- Comment on The Death Of Industrial Design And The Era Of Dull Electronics 1 week ago:
Boring is cheap. Look at the way houses and apartments are being built now. Soviet Bloc Block Housing. No need for architects if the preexisting plans are pre-approved.
Yay capitalism.
- Comment on Americans could see their credit scores fall through floor soon 2 weeks ago:
I read it.
Medical debt can be forgiven through several means. The debt itself is bad, but because through programs aimed at reducing the debt, or even through filing bankruptcy, it can be removed, your qualifier, “worse than” is met by Student Debt.
Student debt cannot be forgiven. As in, there are no means by which it can be reduced or removed, even in cases of bankruptcy. This is why Biden attempted to remove the debt entirely, failed, but was able to do so in smaller chunks for some people.
I may not like most of what Biden did - he was far too weak and didn’t represent the people well enough - this was a good thing and would have assisted millions.
Please educate yourself on the types of debt, the actions people can take to expunge it, and maybe some financial stuff. Not everything is equal.
TL;DR: While bad, medical debt is not worse than student debt.
- Comment on Americans could see their credit scores fall through floor soon 2 weeks ago:
Student debt is unforgivable.
- Comment on Americans could see their credit scores fall through floor soon 2 weeks ago:
As if there wasn’t enough evidence that this shit was a fucking racket before. Now, saddled with shit we can’t remove - student debt being the worst - we’re subjected to this new rating system.

I know. But this just leads to a dog pile on Lemmy. It already started. It’s impossible to discuss human evolutionary biology without emotions getting involved for exactly the reason you stated.
Because bad faith actors cooped the language for their subverted messaging, it’s just a wash.

Christ. I forgot that it’s impossible to speak about science online.

My ex would say, “that rules like anarchy.” Cute.

Also, Social Conquest of Earth.
- Comment on the living dead 2 weeks ago:
“Ed Wilson”
More commonly known as E. O. Wilson in his publications. Highly important scientist. Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Read his book “The Social Conquest of Earth” if this intrigues you.

Crazy. I live in Seattle. Normally we snag in September… I will see if I can find them in my spots when I get home from Mexico in a month.

Amazed you’re getting chants midsummer. Where on the globe are you?

Poor Megan Fox… how far she fell.
