“Are there no prisons?” asked Scrooge.
(…)
“And the Union workhouses?” demanded Scrooge. “Are they still in operation?” (…)
“The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?”Just a reminder this was the most heartless, most horrible man that could be imagined by a truly great author.

What’s that saying? Remind me, if you can’t do the time, what should you also not be doing?

My neighbor told me Permian Fauna keeps eating his lawyers so I asked how many lawyers he has and he said he just goes to the law firm and gets a new lawyer afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding legal representation to Permian animal and then his daughter started clapping.

It’s archaic euphemistic jargon, and that’s why you generally don’t see it used outside of the niche.

That’s what it’s called when it’s inhumane to let them live after an experiment.
Certain rats have incredibly elevated chances of growing tumors, for example. Letting them grow old is basically torture, so…
- Comment on About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash 1 day ago:
Ok, I’ll bite. From the trailer, it just looks like another season of Discovery. Same look and feel, same era, many of the same cast members. And since I didn’t care for Discovery, I doubt I will care for this either.
Exactly!
The post apocalyptic Discovery future is just something I couldn’t care less about. It’s not interesting, and this show looks like a direct sequel to it.
They didn’t even change it to an actual Academy, instead also putting it on a spaceship to just keep doing the same kind of thing, but with more excuses for the “younger and edgier” crew. So many alarmbells ringing.
It doesn’t help that I grew up with the Starfleet Academy videogame, and thus that period is forever linked to it.

- Comment on YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy 4 days ago:
I hate that I now live in this reality, but the US head of immigration is significantly more cruel to animals than the actual Nazis. She’s roughly aaaalmost on their level when it comes to human welfare though, that’s more sure to public perception than ethics though, I’m sure.

I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, the devs are .ml fans, and they know such a feature would ruin their instance because people fucking hate them.

. I don’t have it blocked because not all users are like the admins but like fuck am I ever adding to that shithole ever again.
Blocking an instance only blocks you from seeing communities there, it doesn’t block you from seeing users posting in other communities.

Saving “the bees” is easy, since bees in general are doing fine.
Saving solitary wild bees the real task, and that’s much harder.

Well, I think it depends on how many crimes you committed in El Salvador.

Because Canada says “move to a state that is less terrible”, which is not entirely untrue, but also not entirely true.
- Comment on Day 380 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
The helicopter is a helicopter. After about a week, it arrives and if it spots you, it follows/observes you for nonspecific reasons.
The helicopter is also extremely loud, drawing zombies from a huge distance to you. The best way to deal with it is by being inside, so it doesn’t spot you. Then it’ll just fly around and not do much.

It gets much worse when you look at the outliers. 9.4% of the US had severe obesity (BMI>40) in 2023.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are around 1%, I couldn’t even find a number for France that was more than “<1%”.

it helps with understanding some British accents which can be tricky for non-natives.

The observations are a fact, the 2nd part is a possible explanation that you could call an opinion.
Is it possible the 'higher-skilled", again an opinion, players have a different common factor? Like maybe age.
Ok, but that doesn’t change it
