That’s true, they could spin it as a positive.

“If you were going to have one last drink before you died, what would it be? Jonestown chose Kool Aid! What a great choice. Nothing beats sweet, tangy refreshment right before embracing oblivion.”

The Kool aid man would want to clarify this. I’m sure being known as “the drink cultists used to commit suicide” isn’t the best PR.

I can never not upvote the never slop kitto, but after zooming in, I think this may actually be one of the original images that was stolen and fed to the slop machines.

Wow I knew the US is a stupid place but I didn’t know you could get a tax exemption just for being super racist.

Why is iOS listed under “desktop operating systems”?

Last time I sullied my fingers with a copilot prompt, it decided lobster was vegan so I immediately scrapped that idea and went back to real intelligence. I would be 100.00% delighted if “AI” disappeared.

They had to make it worse so that the number of queries would go up. When you find what you were looking for on the first try, it doesn’t make number go up!

Literally this is what happened and why it’s so bad now.

That’s a pretty genius ad.

speakers on the back like those new chargers

How anyone could drive one of those without feeling like a total doofus the whole time, I’ll never know…

Oh sure you have usable space, but is your powerful (not even a little bit insecure) masculinity being projected effectively??

See that’s more like it!

I ride past the gas station on my way to work and think “$1.69? Them’s rookie numbers. Let’s see if you can crack $2/litre.”

“…to first face that challenge and to overcome it in some way that suits them as a player.”

Honestly when that player is me, this is just going to mean playing a different game. I’m old and busy, I really don’t have the time or energy for hard games.

You can also put a cone on the hood! (or so I’ve heard)

Literally the first 3 words of the comment you’re replying to: “sure it matters”

Personal experience is wildly unscientific.

If attempting to count calories leads to eating less, and that leads to weight loss, bravo, you did a thing. But you could accomplish the same thing just by going to bed a little bit hungry most nights.

Do you know how they figured out how much energy is in food? The burned it. Literally burned, with fire. You may be surprised to learn that’s not what our bodies do.

If you’re eating processed food from a factory, the estimate of energy contained in the food (note, this is not what you’ll absorb from the food) may be fairly accurate, but if you ever cook at home, then you’re just adding a wild guess on top of an educated guess. You may as well just throw some darts at some numbers and save yourself some time.

Sure it matters, but you don’t know. You don’t know how many calories you are actually absorbing from that food, and you don’t know how long it takes to burn them off. Your metabolism can do all kinds of shenanigans, and unless the CO2 you’re breathing out is being measured, you simply don’t know what it’s up to.

It’s not accurate enough to be useful. You know the difference between a snickers bar and a cucumber. One is very energy dense, one is not. Putting specific numbers on it adds no value when those numbers are just guesses.

Calorie counting is nonsense anyway.

Ok but if you’re nervous, presumably there’s an expectation that it might not go well…and then you’ll want to leave…in your car…while all that vodka seeps into your brain.
