We live in hell.

That’s not doing facial recognition though, that’s a reverse image lookup. It’s a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.

About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized ‘seven’ wasn’t accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.

…Four more to go.

I’d imagine they include their off-hours in the ‘averages’.

“So crazy that we’re getting more calls when we’re open than when we’re closed!”

I’ve been playing couch co-op with my husband on both of our Switches. It’s not too bad if you don’t force a turn timer. The game will give you a ding when you’re the last one to play, but we both have ‘side games’ or play with our cats in the meantime if the other needs more time. I wouldn’t do it online or with a turn timer, though.

10-15 Celsius literally isn’t “freezing” though?

Well, mostly. You still need to use Kelvin so you don’t get negative numbers for sciencing, but using them simultaneously for both day-to-day and science is nowhere near as common. Most people just want to know what to wear, and using Celsius loses a lot of the fidelity that Fahrenheit gives. This is after I spent 2 years only looking up the weather in Celsius so that I could get a feel for each degree of difference, and ended up just getting frustrated at how the same degree temperature in Celsius could feel drastically different to me when it’s actually a 2-3 degree difference in Fahrenheit.

Also, FWIW, British people love to use Fahrenheit when it’s over 100 degrees because it ‘feels hotter’ to say that than ‘37’, but they also love using Celsius when it’s below freezing, as it ‘feels colder’ to say negative numbers instead of numbers in their teens or twenties. It’s more psychology than anything, but Fahrenheit still definitely has its practical uses, and I’m not ditching it anytime soon.

We can ditch feet/yards/miles though. Meters definitely make more sense in that regard.

Celsius is how hot water feels. Fahrenheit is how hot humans feel.

One is clearly more applicable for day-to-day life.

Somehow, I doubt THIS is what would drive anyone away.

I mean, it’s got a boot.

Hot damn, this is a lot of condescension for the shittiest “both sides” take.

Y’all should read ‘The Jungle’. The main character tries to solve every problem this exact way, by doubling down and repeatedly telling himself, “I will work harder.”

Mild spoilers, but it doesn’t work out great for him until he finds socialism.

D.A.R.E. has been proven to increase drug use, so I don’t think it was just him. The entire ‘scare tactic’ just doesn’t work.

Don’t forget shampoo!

My D.A.R.E. officer made sure we all knew that shampoo is a drug because it’s a chemical compound that physically affects our bodies. I definitely had fewer issues with drugs after learning that I was already a ‘drug user’.

You’re saying that it has nothing to do with marijuana itself that make it a gateway drug, only that we’ve made it illegal.

That means anything we make illegal is a ‘gateway X’.

“I got a 3 second video as a reward for beating this game on the hardest difficulty. It took me hundreds of hours and I hated myself the whole time. You can look up the video of the ending online, but I’ll be DAMNED if someone else can watch it from having FUN while beating the game.”

You could have just googled the doctor’s name and found the study yourself. Somehow I doubt ‘your own analysis’ is as unbiased as you think. https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1523119113

Churches “sponsor” people in other countries all the time. They could do the same for two people in the nearest city, they don’t have to force people to relocate.

There is actually an easy fix - build houses and give them to people. I remember when “Habitat for Humanity” was so much more prominent in churches.

I was told a long time ago that if it says “Made with…”, you should always mentally add “very little of…”

“Good marketing of a comment” is a concept I would like to remove from society, please.
