Right-wing furries are in the minority, but they do exist - which is what I thought your original comment was saying. Again: furries are people, and any group of people isn't going to be homogenous.

I'd say it makes you less likely to be right wing overall (since the right is hostile to you), but yeah, I've known some very conservative furries. Furries are people, and any group of people is going to have a lot of different vi

I think they're saying that diet is easier for people to commit to than going to the gym regularly and other lifestyle changes.

Obviously witchcraft doesn't actually work, but the timing on this Jezebel article "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" is darkly comical. https://www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some-etsy-witches-to-curs

"...the problem is with impure products and people misusing / abusing them." That second part "people misusing/abusing them" is a lot bigger than you're letting on. People can get hooked on opiates easily

I'd guess that you're not from somewhere that water is scarce. In the American West there's not really a lot of water. I won't turn this into a multi paragraph lecture, but I'll give a few bullet points to give you

Any time I see something like this, I'm reminded of a tongue-in-cheek* post I saw of someone showing off the fancy "egg separator" they found at a thrift store (it was a chastity cage). *I hope

*no consequences for transgressions by anyone in law enforcement. Qualified immunity has snowballed into some serious bullshit.

Yeah, the whole thing gets messy in an interesting way. - if the rod travels across 7 light seconds in a round, the only way to avoid breaking relativity is if the 6 seconds the round takes are measured in the frame of reference of the rod

I’m nervous about how willing SCOTUS has been to throw out precedent and side with this administration.

I might do the same if they weren’t a privacy nightmare. The tech company running the robotaxi service would need to buck some Silicon Valley trends before I’d use their product

I loved my SanDisk Sansa. It had a specific category for audiobooks, and there were a lot of quality of life things - features that wouldn’t matter when you were listening to songs but that made listening to books on tape way better. - If y

No? Your plumbing shouldn’t matter if you’re distilling the water. Some volatiles are going to come through (which can be mostly mitigated with an activated charcoal filter at some point in the process), but you’re vaporizing the water and

Who do you think has the most interesting time of it? People from Hamburg, Lesbos, or Frankfurt? Those are the only three I could think of, tricky to put together a search query to find more.

Oooooh! I saw “I’ll have to teal deer it” and thought it must be some strange idiom. Had to go to Urban Dictionary to find out “teal dear = tl;dr”, and now I feel as dim as a garter snake that’s evolved resistance to large amounts of tetrod

You have one misfolded protein that “teaches” other proteins to misfold in the same way[1]. It’s very slow initially because you’re talking about individual proteins, and it takes a while for each prion to bump into a normal protein of the

I feel like some of the angels would probably be able to calculate very large primes easily. I’m not an angeloligist, but maybe the ones that are wheels all covered in eyes.

Given how similar this reply is to the emails the customer was trading with customer support earlier (it looks like it’s fixed, try again!), I wouldn’t assume it’s actually fixed until the customer says it is.

Aside from the issue of biometrics not being covered by the 5th amendment (so I won’t use them for login purposes), I’m hesitant to arrange incentives such that melon baller based crime is lucrative.

I wanted to get a sense of what that MEANS relative to the rest of the gas giants. Apparently it’d be roughly the size of Uranus or Neptune. I guess I’d always put all the gas giants in the same “very, unimaginably big” bucket. I knew Jupit

The fact that it’s so bare bones (no stereo, etc. unless you put one in) makes me really hope that it doesn’t phone home with a firehose of telemetry like pretty much every other new car. If so, they’ve got my interest

Whoops, you’re right! I read the article and then some comments that were (I see now) tangentially related. Stuff got jumbled up, and I confidently posted something incorrect.

One concern I might have is that I’ve heard (and Wikipedia confirms, though with caveats[1]) that ejaculation can help avoid prostate cancer. “These [studies] suggest that frequent ejaculation after puberty offers some reduction of the risk

“Fully encrypted network with strict privacy policies” God I wish that was me. Xfinity has a raised middle finger where the privacy policy should go.
