Humans actually created gators; they’re a crossbreed of citron and crocodile. So in a way, we already made Gatorade.

Fun article, except I think there’s a lot of other factors like the type of seat, hi vs low flow, and which surfaces you’re talking about.

If it mitigates getting shit on the sink counter / toothbrushes, but not the floor, that sounds like a win. And yes, always use proper cleaners… what madman cleans a toilet with just water?

The people commenting that we made me sad, lol.

Also. Lid down when flushing is mandatory flushing imo. Poop aerosol isn’t exactly something I like all over my bathroom.

Great, we’re halfway to publishing this thesis! Let’s send your analysis to a Tier 1 research journal ASAP!

/s :)

AOC was probably more out of necessity since white America can’t handle a simple pronunciation.

Although mispronouncing Marjorie Greene would probably really piss her off. Rep. Greené

Well, I’ll settle for basic computer literacy as I still run into college students without a working knowledge of file systems… buuuut one would argue it’s worth covering the basic building blocks of how all this works.

I’ve heard similar arguments for teaching people the fundamentals of how data works too, as we have data harvested from us at alarming rates and knowledge is power.

Bizarrely it’s probably more eco friendly than not having the tradition since those tree farms probably wouldn’t exist otherwise. It’s not like the meat industry, it’s probably net positive on emissions.

Though, it would be better if we just reduced urban sprawl and deforestation of natural forests, etc., but that’s how it goes I guess.

Y’know, I keep reading about this but what’s the point? My kids talk to their stuffies anyway, and usually about way more interesting shit than the CCP. Imagination is wild.

Ugh.

At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?

Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros’ll think you’re coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.

Flannel’s plaid disrupts any curves so it’s pretty good for covering up bellies in particular. A big reason I’m a fan of the season of flannel (plus scarfs are nice, too).

Fun unsolicited social psych lesson: in terms of persuasion, spontaneous messaging is catchier but thoughtful messaging is more likely to have a stronger long term impact. Often best to use both.

It’s not always the same level as debate, but the idea is there. Why buy? It’s got safety standards. It builds strong bones. It’s good for the environment. Good? Ok now here’s emotional music and a celebrity you like.

Research shows spontaneous messaging without the cognitive side isn’t going to sway attitudes in a meaningful way, although the latter might be needed to get attention (and most won’t work if someone is already decided, then you really do need debate lol).

That said, I’m pretty sure the average ad is just trying to keep a brand in public consciousness, since that’s taught in marketing programs. Some research on associative learning might support that but I think it’s weak at best.

That’s just what I was thinking. Do they swoosh the joke and just assume OP is an asshole?

I can smell the internal mold growth in this picture.

When I was younger and was just freshly moved out, I used BNPL 0% interest a lot (iirc it was Newegg, was like 15 years ago). It was kind of necessary to get a computer and I had just got an RA contract that paid stipends monthly, guaranteed for 5 years.

If you already have money and can get 0% interest, you can reinvest that cash as long as you can guarantee a payoff (set reminders!). You can put that $2,000 in a CD for that exact amount of time, too, and earn yourself back 3%-4%. That said, they might have caught onto my grift cause they usually offer 5% back OR 0% interest, lol.

True, that was one unique part about this one was the Texans said the quiet part out loud. Was obvious enough to the lower courts, anyway.

You telling me those images of Trump swimming through flood waters to save people in a hurricane haven’t already swayed voters? Lol

Depressing but not surprising. Their corruption aside, the argument is that it’s not race based because it’s partisan gerrymandering… which is the official (and fucked up) reason for the maps. Partisan gerrymandering is legal, for some reason.

That said, race and politics are clearly intertwined so a bunch of black and brown folk are about to be disenfranchised. So long as the GOP remains the party of White Christian Nationalism, any partisan moves will continue to be racial ones inherently.

Should just show the original, genuine photo (which you can see from another comment from a snopes link); the added L and crimes part just make the real SS thing look faked.

Truth be told it’d be weird if that part said literally anything else. “Supporters say it’s over her potty training videos.”

Sure enough the vast majority are Republican shithole states, although Virginia and Arizona are a surprise.

It’s not that it’s immortal to want IDs for porn (although GOP generally is immortal), it’s just so… technologically stupid. The red states are stupid states.
