You can note how little effort is put into many manga noses. Are big noses flattering? No. Are they hard to draw? Yes. Get rid of them!

"The researchers said the PFAS concentrations were low and, bearing in mind that most people tend to only use straws occasionally, posed a limited risk to human health." So how low? Articles like this just seem to raise more quest

I was a juror for a divorce trial recently where the wife had a salary job while the husband spent their entire lives presumably accepting checks for contract work and cashing them without a bank account. So that portion of their joint inco

You can think of what Apple would get from buying Disney: 2 movie studios, a major television network, 2 more streaming services, some cable channels, several theme parks, a cruise ship company... I can't see Apple wanting to shell out

I've heard that this is a generational difference: xers thought of free speech as being an essential value and to hell with the sanctimonious totalitarians who are telling you that you can't listen to rap music. This gave way to a

I'd think their specific behavior is the sign of the problem. Is this a non sequential fallacy? I think the worst offender of this argument that I see on the internet is, "if this offends you, it proves that I'm right".

I don't personally see MacBooks as a viable platform either right now, but I would say that this looks like a steady decline for windows x86 laptops until Chrome laptops take over or an arm-based windows replacement takes hold. "H

While I think people who organize these meetings might have a benefit of being able to keep track of everyone, I'm usually surprised how much dead time there is when people discuss what they're working on and there are only 2 or 3

It's doubly annoying to switch back and forth between using an Xbox controller, where a-b and x-y are reversed as well. Good luck on those quick time events. Compliments to the switch where they simply used a diamond pattern with the n

The fact that management doesn't directly do the work is definitely a problem. They're ultimately recycling other people's opinions to evaluate performance, perpetually out of the loop, yet they still have to be the bad guy i

I get that you're saying that when a team wins or loses, you clearly didn't have anything to do with it. So associations with an organization that just wants your money are as arbitrary as divination. However, as a Vikings fan I&#

Think about all the mosquitos, stink bugs, yellow jackets and false ladybugs they're eating though. Pretty much everything they eat is something you don't want in your yard. I try to leave the webs intact, but I guess I'd fee

We aren't grounded enough in reality anymore. For younger people, this is related to the twin evils of social media and video games, both of which are more captivating than ever. The disengagement from reality can also be seen in being

I agree to a point: polyester blends tend to hold their color better and smell better. They also tend to be constructed better as I've had too many issues with cotton shirts that get holes in them or get wrinkled too easily. I'm n

It sounds like a boiling frog problem: they could only monetize the original idea so much and struggled to come up with original ideas in mobile games. So all they could do is just try harder to milk the original idea. Apparently, there

Some have said there's an undocumented labor shortage after the pandemic. This is, well, undocumented, so it's hard to determine actual numbers for it. Unfilled jobs aside, housing maintenance has become far more expensive.

When you think of the primary roles of each member, this conflict definitely makes sense. John: rhythm guitar. Paul: piano and bass. George: lead guitar. The Beatles catalog is very accessible so it follows that they put a lot of effort to
