A fair amount of motorcyclists manage to do themselves in on their own, but based on the shit I’ve heard from riders about near misses I’d bet it’s more car induced than anything.

If you’ve never wanted to die on a bike, you’re not pedaling hard enough! Or it’s not 95 F/35 C outside, one or the other.

No dead rat?

Because it would be weirder to end on it: sexual predator, cheater, nonprofit bankrupting, racist white Christian nationalist, and public urinator.

I had a made up name that I used online (don’t feel any particular attachment to it now), and 20 years ago the advice was to use a name in the top 10 or 20 for your birth cohort to blend in more easily, so that’s what I did. I let my parents pick my middle name, as an olive branch over transitioning; it didn’t get them to use the right name or pronouns, but I still like the name or I wouldn’t have used it.

I’m entirely convinced the whole thing was invented to scam Meta. So congrats to all the people who got paid along the way!

My second round of college has been so much easier when I trick myself into doing a little work every day instead of all of it at once right before it’s due. Downside is no day off, upside is better grades and less anxiety.

There’s a weaving based job sim game?

E: I got excited because that’s been my white whale for a while, but I realized you probably meant look!

Even lyrics in my teenage emo songs were lifted straight from TOS dialogue.

You can’t say that and not name drop any songs!

The bill had proposed that a man “may not marry any woman to whom he is related by lineal consanguinity, nor his sister, nor his aunt, nor his niece,” while a woman cannot marry a man “whom she is related by lineal consanguinity, nor her brother, nor her uncle, nor her nephew.”

Incestuous gay marriages: absolutely fine 👍

Shoving a palm sized capsule up my ass for the motherland 🫡🇺🇸

Absolutely, using nail clippers is just like clipping your own nails: they grow back and there’s still some nail left, since you can’t cut past the quick (internal blood supply in the nail). They can still scratch and climb if they want to, but kneading and play fighting isn’t painful for the person if you clip their nails.

As a general rule it’s not a bad idea to have styptic powder on hand to stop bleeding from any clips that accidentally cut too deep, but I’ve never had it happen in ~10 years of nail clipping.

Maybe I’ve just had amazing luck, but my cats have always been fine with me clipping their nails. It’s not their favorite activity, but upfront payment with treats and treats afterwards has meant they always tolerated it. Then you can have the most aggressive kneading possible without scratches!

I’ve locked my money behind a “not paying for a streaming service from Amazon” tier.

The humanobserver guy definitely pinged me as suspicious as a 1 day old account with the thread trying to drum up interest in a community where people can anonymously tell all their juuuiiicy secrets!! Totally not a honeypot.

Are you really asking why compressing and uncompressing art made by a human being is different from slop produced by the slop machine?

One exists to reconstruct an image as closely to the original as possible while saving space, the other is meant to insert arbitrary changes to the initial image and produce something else.

I’m a computer dumbass and I managed to install Mint by plugging in a USB and clicking “next” until I had a new OS installed. Maybe something else would be marginally more suited to me, but Mint does everything I want: games, internet, and office software are all I need.

That was my main issue with Windows. I’m not here to fight with my computer, especially not with a corporation controlling MY computer.

The cure shouldn’t be worse than the disease, as they say.
