I can relate to the "how the fuck is being a concerned human being extreme/poltical?" energy in the post hard.

Doctor House would be top right but partly because you wouldn't need to run very far.

I disagree with the implication that users should "settle down" when faced with user-unfriendly experiences.

User silence is often taken as permission to continue shitty practices that build up overtime. Bloated games that are unoptimized, online subscription to play online, not even fully owning the games, not able to use your own bluetooth headset etc.

This tweet just perpetuates how consumer-hostile nature of these companies. It attempts to play down a potential revenue stream at the expense of UX, subtle gaslight users into thinking this is part of the "over-reactionary culture" when this a perfectly valid criticism, and makes no attempt to be sympathetic about these implications.

Honestly, this has made me swore off a PS5 and future sony consoles. It's no longer affordable, convenient, or simply. I do love my DS4 controller tho.

In 2075, The Nintendo Switch is widely regarded by scientists and engineers all over the world as the most stable object in the known universe.

raises an interesting question - would taxpayers be able to sue or compel the city to sue the Trump campaign to make them whole? If we allow a precedent that bills can go unpaid indefinitely then the trump campaign essentially siphons funds from unwitting taxpayers and maintains an otherwise defunct campaign.

Oh wait, that's just how the wealthy live.

You're mom's your best friend? What is she, a bad mom??

This phenomenon hits too real

They're all couples from The Owl House - would recommend

As it should be. Very 2000s internet

Including it would eliminate ALL doubt that this is a baitpost.

honestly not trying to be a shill but there was a brief period that caught a glimpse of a post-piracy world where there were very little streaming services that had all the content you could want. It moved me away from piracy because of the convenience, library, and being able to share with friends and family.

Ideally a post-piracy world would have the options for uncensored/original versions of content, the ability to buy and store said content locally and own in perpetuity, with a price point for access to a vast library from a very small number of services. As many have said, the way to combat "piracy" is to offer a service better than piracy itself.

What's that phenomenon where as a child you were told a "fact", internalised it, and lived your life presuming it was true until someone points out how obviously wildly untrue it was that you momentarily question reality?

Because I was today's years old when I realised how ridiculous cutting complete blood flow would be. Thank you (genuinely!)

If I'm reading this correctly, the findings of this particular paper are more directed towards a relationship between stress/anxiety (such as life-challenging events or religious-related existiential stress) and religious beliefs rather than critical thinking via hippocampal volume (the neural section associated with emotional responses).

It's interesting that there was a pattern of hippocampal atrophy however they do not definitively claim the direction of a causal relationship or if even is one (such as correlational).

Interesting read that sheds into how religiosity may induce additional stressors from having a specific belief system.

lowkey how I feel when I see AI/upscaled 60fps from 24 fps animation.

Great Parks and Rec episode

I refuse to let a platypus tell me what to do.

I just presumed you turn on "shower thoughts" mode after you've done a thorough clean.

Though this is similar to what some Japanese households do where they do a thorough wash and shower, removing any dirt and sweat, and soak in a bathtub to relax afterwards.

Cerberus is singularly the goodest boi in the world. He's three good boys in one - you can't beat that. Any single boi you name is logically outnumbered by the sheer concentration of good boi in one being.

Posting memes always seemed so easy until you have to do it lmao

The width of a scarf matches the height of a human neck, so a scarf for an ostrich would look closer to a blanket. That or a tube sock.

Edit: I just realized, given the length of the ostrich and relative proportions, a human scarf would be closer to a decorative necklace or choker.

Loved this chapter, especially in the webcomics when Zombieman visits Genius.

However, I feel this is going to get retconned due to the inconsistencies - I hope apron Mosquito Girl at least stays
