Flock of scissors
One time my grandmother gave me two pears. She said, "Here's your two pears". I said, "This is just one pair" and we went back forth a bit before she got it.

Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?
I'm pretty sure his initial promises to release the Epstein Files was him blackmailing the other perpetrators.

This happens to rollerblades too. Of course in that case the failure is a little more catastrophic.

Tipping

And ironically one of the biggest proponents of keeping the tipped minimum wage was Herman Cain (who is black. Or was. He dead now).

Why?
I can see how they got there from the implementation side. There's a library they used for their site, maybe a CMS, where all those choices are just a click away. But for email they have to get their hands on an SMTP server. And that takes non-zero effort.

Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms?
Structured data vs. unstructured data. The form is structured data and it can be manipulated easily and reliably with code. With unstructured data it's a lot of guesswork and chance.
Also sometimes HR can't use the resume because the name could reveal gender or ethnicity and they need to blind that. And it's not trivial to manipulate any part of the resume to do that masking.

It makes them invest their money which puts it to good use. That makes credit cheaper for everyone else.
Inequality is an issue, but that's what taxes are for. You don't solve inequality by breaking the economy.

In a now deleted tweet, weirdo Azealia Banks shares that "fucking 14 year old girls was really only made a social taboo in the 1990s"
Even if you bent over backwards to agree with this tweet, just look at the facts of the Epstein case. These girls were sex trafficked. Epstein and Maxwell sought out vulnerable girls and took advantage of them. They were not girls in a traditional mindset trying to find a husband and have kids.

90s kid doesn't mean you were born in the 90s. It means you experienced your childhood in the 90s. So if you were too young to remember, it doesn't count.

Tobacco plant altered to produce five psychedelic drugs
I'd like to note that this is the third cromulent Simpsons reference in this thread. Pretty good for a show with only 11 seasons.

Noo! I loved Pocket. It's integrated into my Kobo eReader. It was the only good way to get articles easily synced on to an eReader. I hope Kobo buys Pocket. Or Rakuten, since that's a tech company and they own Kobo.

What’s up with Myrrh being more prevalent?
Someone's running a pump and dump scheme on Myrrh. Once that bubble pops they just transition to Frankincense like it never happened.

I guess I won't see a concert tonight.
Well luckily the FTC sued them for being a monopoly and then the Trump administration settled for a slap on the wrist, so they have no reason to change.

SNL’s Colin Jost said Hegseth sketch was rejected for being too ridiculous — then it happened in real life
I didn't think it was a real Bible quote. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass.

TIL USA banned asbestos only in 2024

Literally a joke from the Simpsons. Bart runs for class president and proclaims "We want more asbestos!"
