The woman got HPV, which is so dead common I can’t believe that the guy was on the hook to disclose it.

Great! I look forward to it. Let’s fucking go. Show me the plans. Show me the permits. Show me the map with the pins that tell me when they’re planning to catch up. Tesla has been firing on all cylinders on this front for years. There’s a n

Bird doesn’t make the scooters, they just allow them to sit on the sidewalk clogging the pedestrian space and making life miserable for wheelchair users.

The numbers are the numbers. Care to take a stab at how they’re off track?

I think you got it right: most white people live in places totally devoid of authentic ethnic food of any kind. The big city (120k people) that borders the town I’m from has one Thai restaurant. The last time I was there, I heard someone sa

The food is trash, yes. So famously trash that it’s commonplace to joke about someone having gastrointestinal issues after eating it.

I’d recommend Carrot Weather because the commentary is hilarious, especially if you set the personality to “overkill.”

> cannot be made interoperable without a substantial modifications is a no-no. This sentence seems to imply that one cannot charge their non-Tesla car with the Tesla charging network without substantial modifications. What do you mean by

Consider paying the developers and artists for their work. It’s hard out there and it’s about to get a lot worse for both.

I hear you, but after COVID public transit is essentially dead in the US. It was barely funded to start with, but now that pandemic showed us the government could essentially turn off your ability to move… yeah no way.

Theft is theft, no matter the percentage. That you think the government doesn’t spend wisely has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that a commonwealth consisting of 25% of the world’s population continues to legitimize an institution w

The process of dissolving the monarchy is certainly more arduous than a routine election, though.

The Queen has the power, but she has no choice than to do what the PM says? This is autocracy with extra steps. End the monarchy, end the bullshit ceremonies, and write up some rules for when you’re allowed to trash the government.

> Having a non-monarch head of state wouldn't have inherently resulted in anything different. The Queen is unelected and has the power to dissolve parliament. That’s fucked. At least without her the person doing the shitty thing is

It seems to me that having the queen involved provides a false sense of separation of powers. Prorogation in most countries is a routine process that signals the end of a particular session. It seems unique to the UK that this power move co

It never really bothered me either way, being an American, whether the UK continued to have a monarchy. It seemed just a touristy thing, or like a very expensive reality show. That was until Boris Johnson got the queen to suspend parliament

Comments like this one are a real puzzler to me. Why does it matter that the higher royalty is not out of altruism? It’s money! Money doesn’t care. More money for artists is good. You can’t buy a cheeseburger with altruism. I guess I’m just

I don’t make any assumptions about why people have children because those reasons are entirely irrational. I also don’t care if our species dies out. That will happen long after I am gone

KOreader is massively annoying. You have to set up every book individually, and there's no consistency in the UI.

The greatest contribution we will all make is carbon emissions that are ruining the planet. Another reason to skip the kids and rescue dogs. The robots will take care of me in the nursing home.

I don’t understand this sentiment. I have no preference for whether I was born or not. It is an immutable fact of the universe that I cannot change. I was a pro-abortion rally (as a supporter of abortion) and an old man asked me, “Aren’t yo

I’m a pretty liberal guy, but IVF has never sat right with me. Thousands of dollars to produce a baby when living ones already exist. Of course adoption is no cakewalk and itself costs many thousands of dollars (plus the emotional toll). In

That’s when you buck up and let your boss know you mean business. Sorry to be crass, but fuck this hybrid bullshit. Commutes are a massive waste of time and doing it even once a week is unacceptable. I’ll quit before hybrid. It’s a great ma

I find street view useful, but I also think it's a massive invasion of privacy and if it were banned I would not be upset.

Damore was fired because he made Google look bad, full stop. It was not the message, but the perception of the message.

Is Street View still illegal in Germany? Are there places in the world that haven’t been co-opted by surveillance capitalists?

It’s really not a fraught term in demography, which is this context.
