No one is impressed with this. This is cringe. Go touch grass.

What Are ‘Scientology Runs’ and Why Is Gen Z So Obsessed With Them?
On the one hand, this is very funny. On the other hand, however, it’s still very funny, but also maybe we shouldn’t turn running full speed into a house of religion, no matter how hokey that religion may be, into a trend? Yes, the whole enterprise is shady at best, and they believe in some weird space alien magic. They also have a history of harassing former members and anyone who dares to pull back the veil on the secretive organization’s scare tactics.
Fuck off with this whitewashing. Scientology isn't "hokey" or "shady". It's outright evil.

It did, but it wasn't as bad as this. My hope is that as Lemmy matures, this will happen less.

So they say they don't perform autopsies, and the warden was surprised they wanted the body. Either they're lying about the autopsy or there's some sick fuck just cutting up bodies and taking parts as souvenirs.

Difficult decisions
I was legitimately sad when I had to stop watching AvE.
His content quality had dropped but I still watched because I enjoyed his delivery. But when he started praising the Canadian convoy protestors, it completely ruined his channel for me. And then he kept espousing awful politics and I couldn't watch anymore.

Mathematicians Have Found The Ninth Dedekind Number, After 32 Years of Searching
Reply in thread
I looked it up on Wikipedia.
In mathematics, the Dedekind numbers are a rapidly growing sequence of integers named after Richard Dedekind, who defined them in 1897. The Dedekind number M(n) is the number of monotone boolean functions of n variables. Equivalently, it is the number of antichains of subsets of an n-element set, the number of elements in a free distributive lattice with n generators, and one more than the number of abstract simplicial complexes on a set with n elements.
Pretty simple to understand. I mean, I understand it, for sure. Totally.

Irish fashion
Irish wit is sharp and quick.
My American wife said to a short round woman at a pub, "You're as cute as a button."
The woman scoffed, said "I'm a bit big to be a button. A door knob, maybe."

Privilege is blinding. The dentist can't fathom how a "normal" person they are speaking to couldn't afford to go to a dentist. It doesn't even register. The dentist then must assume it was pure laziness or apathy.

London Cop Who Shot Dead Unarmed Black Man Charged With Murder
Reply in thread
The headline is grammatically correct and only confusing if you're not super familiar with the phrase "shot dead".
It would be clearer just by saying "shot and killed".

The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement
Reply in thread
Return to office has nothing to do with the people who do better in an office environment. It's about forcing those who don't do as well in an office, and those who the commute or time away from the house isn't feasible, back into the office.
Sometimes that "chance encounter" is really just one mouthy coworker cornering another coworker who doesn't like saying no even though they have work they need to attend to. For those people, just avoiding chatty coworkers is a challenge and they get less done because people won't leave them alone with tangential bullshit.
Some of your coworkers have sensory issues that are constantly irritated and distracted by being in a loud, bright, and chaotic office.
This isn't about you. You were always allowed to be in the office (save for pandemic lockdowns). So don't make it about you.

They All Got Mysterious Brain Diseases. They’re Fighting to Learn Why.
A well loved coworker died of Crutzfeld Jakob disease this year. That shit is terrifying.
He was in his 50s and went from normal, to nonverbal, easily startled, and not recognizing close family, to dead in a span of like 4 months.
Absolutely terrifying.

Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie.
There's the "Seven Up!" series by the BBC. They filmed a bunch of kids at age 7, and then again at 14, 21, 28, etc.
The first was filmed in 1964 and 63 Up was filmed in 2019.

What movie or show you didn't know was THAT good until you watched it?
I avoided Bojack Horseman for years because I thought it was going to be like so many other edgy adult cartoons. I thought I knew what it was going to be like. I was so wrong.
