So she was swimming for roughly 18 hours? I’m impressed and terrified.
- Comment on Laxative Effect 1 week ago:
As someone who worked at a gas station for many years, I definitely don’t miss this. For some reason the Women’s room was always consistently bad (I assume because they all hovered) while the Men’s room was relatively easy to clean.
But every week or so there was something like the image in the Men’s room that made me regret being born. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there about outliers messing up the average or something.

Outlook does too. Basically the only thing Microsoft has gotten right because it has saved me 100% of the times I forgot.

The science seems to indicate this has the potential to fix a lot of illnesses, but I am beyond skeptical of anyone claiming that it can cure mental illness. Especially something as complex as bipolar disorder.
- Comment on "I swear if that fly gets in my fucking ear again I'm burning the building down with both of us in it" 2 weeks ago:
Happened to my sister when we were kids. She got a junebug in her ear and it went so deep you couldn’t see it. We filled her ear with peroxide, which seemed to kill it, but she still couldn’t hear.
The nurse said she was making it up and just had too much earwax. We did peroxide rinses every day until it fell out a week later. Probably not very safe to have a bug rotting inside you, but we already owed a couple hundred for the nurse to dismiss us so we definitely weren’t going back to the hospital.

I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something “which they could do right now”.

You should do it more, not less.

Are you masturbating at all? I can imagine being so horny that a porn subscription seems tempting, but masturbating would clear that up. It seems like you’ve skipped several levels and gone straight to the most expensive masturbation enhancement.

- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 5 weeks ago:
Mary’s Test Kitchen I’m not vegan, but I like the scientific approach she takes to testing recipes.
3x3 Custom Woodworking channel
The Octopus Lady fun deep dives into weird ocean critters.
antiheroines humerous but vulnerable reviews of lesser known horror/thriller movies.
This question made me realize that just over half of my subs are woman-run channels.

That’s how I always imagine it when I read it too. Joel from Marvelous Ms Maisel says it almost exactly the same which just reinforced it.

Yeah, I’ve got mine in my phone as “Don’t answer”, but she changes numbers a lot and borrows phones so I still fall for it sometimes if I’m expecting an important call and have to answer unknown numbers.

Also your data is meant to be private and accessed by a single person. Basically a big wall around your stuff with a single door.
Corporate data, by design, needs to be accessed by many people inside and outside the company. So they are adding another door for each person, department, or API that needs access. Even if the wall is higher and stronger, it’s still full of doors to try.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 1 month ago:
At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
- Comment on The bigger story about that Norwegian tourist 1 month ago:
I feel bad, because it is horrific and deeply concerning, but I lose it every time I see that picture in relation to this story. Something about the absurdity is absolutely perfect. I hope that tourist really did smile through the tears after seeing it again.

I knew there were more niche types than the A, B, and Rh, but I had no idea we were up to 48. I wonder how much the lesser known types interfere with transfusions.

I like the concept, and I think it would fit the definition of democracy since it reflects the will of the people. The main issue I see is that it still remains stable if a majority superclass oppresses a minority underclass. Tyranny of the Masses is a problem with most forms of democracy, not just yours.
One tactic to mitigate it is by only doing a random sample each time instead of a full sample. So randomly select 20% of the population, require them to vote, and if 50% of them vote in favor then there’s no election. That only works if the mechanism to randomly select people can’t be tampered with, though.

Sometimes as low as $1 per day, sometimes up to $50 per day, all dependent on the state and specific prison. Hawaii doesn’t charge, so get locked up there if you follow through with this plan!
Sure, private prison execs already get to hoover up taxpayer money, and they profit from the slave labor, but how else would they get filthy rich if they stopped profiting off you just because you finished your sentence?

You’d better hope that art is good enough to pay for your prison rent or you’ll be in debt for the rest of your life. Especially given how tough it is to get a traditional job afterwards.
- Comment on Just be that way 1 month ago:
The setup based on the first image+caption would lead you to believe the second image will relay how boys feel if a girl walks into the locker room. The second half instead subverts that expectation by having a too-accurate caption of a strange image, unrelated to locker rooms.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
My mom said it to me frequently before I cut her out, which is a pretty good indication it’s not normal. A therapist would tell you that’s a reflection of her issues; if she had a different kid instead of you she would have said the same thing to them. You, as a person, don’t really factor into why she feels that way.
As for your feelings, let me know what you come up with. I’m in the same boat emotionally and I don’t see a way out either.
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 2 months ago:
You definitely seem to have the second amendment backwards, as others have mentioned.
Additionally, the US government has turned the military on its own protesters several times. The Kent State massacre, The Battle of Blair Mountain, and the 1967 Detroit riots are all instances where they murdered civilians and faced no consequences. It’s completely legal and, in all three of those cases, was happily endorsed by much of the populace.
