It’s not news to me.
I still am motivated to kill them before or after they bite because they are a known irritant. If they just took a tiny bit of my blood without the irritation I wouldn’t be so motivated to kill them

I was thinking it would be to their benefit to evolve to not make us itch. If they could just steal my blood without being an irritant it would make me less aggressive towards them…
…but since they’re infamously disease vectors it would actually be to my (and humanities) detriment long term.
So, sadly, I guess I’m happy they haven’t…

- Comment on I can get a 430 hearing on any family member I want. Hell i can even testify if someone else needs one. So tell me why I can't go through the legal system to get an invasive one for Trump? 8 hours ago:
Also, for (some of?) us US folks…

Good thing this isn’t a real world conversation, huh?

Your argument “They’re the same only under specific conditions” only proves they’re not the same.

This is a great comment; my initial reaction was “No because it would be easy to claim others OC was your own” but then the same could be said about text or link contributions.
Then I thought “well maybe reputation should only be based on comments” but that could be unfair to those who primarily post vs comment.
So now I don’t know what my position is. The best method is probably a blend of multiple strategies that can only be determined by engaging with the enemy.
tl;dr: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think either way could possibly be exploited.
And putting all that aside, I think all image-centric subs should probably be included. It’s just as easy to frame karma with cute cars and flowers as it is with memes.

- Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.
Is this self-designated?
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 1 week ago:
I did it (we called it 6x12s) for about 2-3 years in my 30s. At the time it felt worth it; food, lodging, and transportation were all covered as well. I don’t really regret it most days but looking back years later I think it may have damaged friendships more than I’d realized until recently.
There’s no fucking way I’d do it now. Now I’m just one bad day away from rage quitting and retiring. Unfortunately I’m in a great position with a great boss and a reasonable work load and ample coverage and support and never been denied time off so that bad day isn’t likely to come anytime soon.

I’m totally OOTL on this. Saw the video linked here and was trying to find the CEOs statement but what keeps coming up is the company is now saying that his response was “fake” 🙄🙄
I can’t find what the origin of the “fake” statement was though. This Mirror article(yeah; I know) just says it “emerged online”.

Same - I’m super confused now. I don’t know what I can do anymore. I thought I just crossed my eyes until the images overlap but when I do that I’m seeing a hole too…so I guess not?
