Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There’s a reason Bic won pens

Huh I didn’t know that thanks for informing me

You’ll never believe what pasta is made of

Jesus Christ. Even if I do think the story is fictional, I could believe that our current media landscape has been ruined by advertising firms.

Here’s an example of a scissor topic that I’ve been calling out for years: the Israel-Palestine conflict. It’s designed to be something that divides people. Not inviting your israel-supporting aunt to Thanksgiving and blocking your Palestine-supporting nephew is what the Man wants. That conflict, for as strongly as people feel about it here, does not matter to Americans. Nearly as many people have died fighting in the Myanmar civil war, and I don’t know a single person who even has an opinion on that.

I’m really curious where I said that. Wanting something doesn’t mean you only want said thing, and the vast majority of men generally want to have sex with women. You can ask them, and they’ll tell you as much.

Besides that, you’ve managed to miss my point entirely: that the original question is different on a fundamental level when you ask a woman versus a man. Meeting a random man in the woods is significantly more dangerous if you are a woman than it is if you are a man, and that’s a bit of nuance that a lot of guys don’t consider. Instead of taking it personally, and feeling like women think you specifically are evil, you should try to understand why women are so cautious around men. It’s not some irrational prejudice against us.

If you’re lost in the woods, would you rather run into a bear, or a man who is 10% larger than you and wants to have sex with you?

Hopefully this rephrasing of the question helps you understand the answer women tend to give a little better

I believe in the freedom of information, and to that end, enjoy this rare XKCD misprint

Fuck the sphere, marry the antiprism, kill the stellated dodecahedron

I mean yeah that’s their point, the dose needed to OD on THC is bonkers, so it’s pretty much perfectly safe

Every few months, “Nicole” mass spams a bunch of PMs inviting people to click on various suspicious links

Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second

The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version

My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album

Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums

I think it’s tremendously funny that you saw a list including Stalin, Putin, and Mao, and your only response was "I’ve never seen anyone defend Pol Pot.

Proves my point, there are plenty of leaders that users of this instance think were good people.

Some of them are, you just have to scroll way way way down

A lot of people think that to get to orbit, you just go up. That’s partially true, but in reality you go up to get out of the atmosphere, and then go sideways really, really fast.

Imagine throwing a ball in the air. If you throw it straight up, then no matter how high you throw it, it just comes back down. Now imagine throwing it across the room. It falls in a curved arc, right? Now imagine throwing it so fast that it goes past the horizon. That curved arc is still there, and it’s much longer now.

Now imagine throwing it so hard that it not only goes past the horizon, it actually never hits the earth in the first place. That’s an orbit! Of course, the earth has an atmosphere, so it would slow down because of aerodynamic drag. That’s why we send rockets way upward—to get out of the air.

So a satellite in orbit is literally just falling constantly, but because it’s going so fast, it’s always missing the earth. It’s for this reason that an astronaut can’t “fall off of” the space station. They’re moving just as fast as the station is, and so even if they pushed themselves off of it, they would remain in orbit.

Kinda like how the only thing John Brown did wrong on May 24th, 1856 was stop at 5

The first ever sour experience I had with MBMBAM was believing them about Nature Box’s snacks. The almonds and shit I got were okay, but definitely not worth the price, and there was some fuckery with the subscription where even though I cancelled it, it still charged me $50, non-refundable. I’ve never trusted a podcast ad since then

I’m assuming it’s a bad batch or something. Gonna give it another month or so before I cash in on that warranty
