Sure, but you won’t get guys at a bar trying to lure you onto pissing in their mouth or exchange Cleveland steamers. But most women have had a guy go straight to “nice toes”

Yeah, being into feet isn’t inherently bad. But foot fetishists are always so damn creepy about it.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 3 weeks ago:
This is the inevitable result of “No Child Left Behind” linking school funding to how students performed on standardized tests. American schools haven’t been about education for the last 20+ years. They are about getting as much funding as possible.

What do you think testing is for? It’s to show what you know/have learned
- Comment on YSK that in 16 States in the USA has banned Ranked-Choice voting, including 5 that has just banned it in 2025, and 6 of those bans happened in 2024. 3 weeks ago:
The Ohio HoR just overwhelming voted to remove all state funding from any city that implements ranked choice voting. It threatens the parties in power, so they are both eager to stomp it out

They just pulled that in the Ohio House this week. They have been calling it “One Person, One Vote” and are going to withhold state funds to any municipality that uses ranked choice voting. It passed our house 22-5 iirc
- Comment on And sir cumference, the sphere 3 weeks ago:
One thing that is important to note is that King Arthur was sorta used as a template for story telling in medieval England, Wales, and France. There are dozens of conflicting stories and accounts because some tales are from the 7th century, and some are from the 14th. King Arthur and The knights of the round table are essentially a folk hero tale for the nobility of the middle ages.
Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur is the first compilation of Arthurian tales that were collected, but it was written in the 15th century and can be a real bear to read if you want something more casual.

It used to be so much fun to watch my chihuahua mind her own business and then just say “outside?” to watch her go totally stiff and freeze. Then i would say “Outaide?” again and she would go absolutely ballistic

12 years ago Skype and team speak were the go to for voice chat for gaming. Once someone comes up with a less shitty platform, everyone will start to migrate again.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
Lot of people in my town with “party plates”. Yellow plate with red letters to signal to cops that you are a frequent DUI fiend. No clue how youend up with those instead of just having your license revoked

- Comment on Panic! on the trade floor 2 months ago:
Europe is in the midst of a massive housing crisis.
Canada has possibly the worst housing crisis in the developed world
Korean homes are 3x as much in the major cities as smaller rural cities.
Housing has been consuming a larger and larger chunk of people’s incomes for the past 15 years. That’s a cost of living crisis. Because the 2008 crash allowed the wealthy to pick up all the pieces and restart the game using the exact same rules. Nothing changed, nothing improved, neoiberals just painted over the foundational cracks of our society and said everything is fine now. The finacialization of every aspect of our lives has only become more extreme, so i would definitely say the 2008 crisis was never actually solved.
- Comment on Panic! on the trade floor 2 months ago:
Replacing salaried desk jobs with hourly wages and no pay increase isn’t exactly employment growth. If everything recovered just fine, why are millennials miles behind where their parents were at a similar age? Homeownership has been steadily declining, savings accounts have steadily been dwindling, and the rate of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has only gone up in the past 20 years. That’s not a recovery, it’s an adaptation to a new normal.
- Comment on Panic! on the trade floor 2 months ago:
Idk how you can say it ended when the fundamental causes of the collapse were never addressed, the perpetrators were never punished, and the middle class continued to shrink. Stocks were pretty much the only thing that improved since 2008.
- Comment on AI crawlers cause Wikimedia Commons bandwidth demands to surge 50%. 2 months ago:
I recently started as a graphic designer despite knowing absolutely nothing about it, so i am constantly searching how to do stuff in Adobe suite at work. Half the time Google’s AI can’t even keep “Cmnd” and “ctrl” straight, telling me to use’ “cmnd+shift+H” on Windows or “ctrl+shift+H” on Mac’. I don’t even know how it botches that, but it does it about 25% of the time.
