I’ve become a fan of the “We’re already in a black hole” theory. The Schwarzschild radius for the mass of the known universe is larger than the radius thereof.
It’s probably not correct but I do like it.
1: She’s a woman of color so she has to be 75% better than average for anyone to pay attention.
2: Executed moral standards are more important to the left than the right. Declared moral standards are more important to the right.
I don’t speak French, but I did translate “cat, I farted” into French on Google Translate and had it dictate the result. It sounds a good deal like ChatGPT, especially if you’re primed to listen for it.
EDIT: Or at least it used to. Now, if you translate “cat, I farted” it gives you “Cat, j’ai pété” and pronounces the C as a hard C, like it reads. Maybe it’s deciding that “cat” on its own is the name “Cat,” and thus not in need of translation. If you give it different context you get the expected result, as with translating “I had to tell the cat, I farted” you get back “J’ai dû dire au chat, j’ai pété,” which when pronounced the last bit sounds as expected.
This is genius but too high effort. You may sit on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of shitost.
Red Bilk is the best.
Human beings are subject to the laws of physics. If you eat more calories than you consume and do not otherwise eliminate from the body, they will still be in the body. The body stores them as fat. This is simply the mechanics of biology. If it weren’t, things like Ozempic would not spur massive weight loss.
We have more obese people now than have ever existed. Countries that do not have US/Mexico levels of easy access to heavily processed, calorie-dense foods do not have obesity problems like we have. Clearly, calling people names and making them feel bad is not a good way to get them to adopt healthier habits. However, there are plain, uncomplicated things that people can do to lose weight that will work, but they will ONLY work if the people want to change, are honest with themselves and truly stick to the changes they need to make.
Losing weight is absolutely within reach of 99% of obese people, but comments like this reinforce the absolutely incorrect notion that getting healthy is some big mystery that’s for a different class of people to solve. It’s defeatist and makes it seem like a problem that a person can’t solve on their own, which is straight up wrong.
The plain, uncomplicated things you can do? Find out how many calories a body of the weight you want to weigh uses in a day. Limit yourself to those calories. Given time, you will be that weight if and only if you stick to the plan. It may shock some people how many calories they actually consume in a day, especially if they drink soda or juice with any regularity.
The soulslike genre is simply bullet hell where you don’t always get to see the bullets before they hit you, stuck inside a metroidvania.
Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.
Male gorillas and lions both top out around 500lbs. Do you think you could kill a cat the same size as you if that cat wanted you dead? With your bare hands?
Paralyzing is super broken in Skyrim. It doesn’t actually matter how long the target is paralyzed, because paralyzing them at all causes them to fall, starting a lengthy stand-up animation, during which they’re vulnerable. Hit them, they fall. They start to get back up, so you hit them more. Eventually, they stay down.
My cat is a sweet baby, until you pet her 1/4 inch too close to the line near her belly that’s invisible and keeps moving. When you do that she turns into a furry squirming angry thing that’s sharp on 5 of its 6 points.
Shit, I’m a dog person and you’ve got me rethinking things.
If it’s big and metal there’s a scrapyard that will, at the very least, take it off your hands for free. Free metal is free metal. Getting the big metal thing to the scrapyard is another story.
Dont add to the problem. Just buy some headphones or earbuds.
Hey everyone, make sure you aren’t doxxing yourself. Comments in the Fediverse can be very hard to delete.
Drives do this on their own.
Ah, the Harrison Bergeron school of parenting.
Do you have a full complement of toes to prove it?
Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.
