If you go to the other side of the world, there’s a good chance your actions won’t be understood or might even convey the opposite meaning. Namely, mixing western and Asian body language is messy, depending on how much British colonization happened in the Asian half of the dialogue.

Source: I’ve been to India with Americans that believed they could communicate if they repeated their English statement slower, with the same verbal shortcuts, and angrier. This works in the big cities at customer service. The success rate drops as population density drops.

Somehow both anti-fascist left wing activists (paint, scratch, protest) and anti-ev right wing reactionists/“car enthusiasts” (scratch, cord cutting, gas pump-sucking circle jerking). Yet, Teslas keep selling and people keep buying, despite getting attacked from “both sides”. I think it’s a great example showing the general population does not give a fuck. The apathetic population outnumbers the voting population. The nearsighted self-interested demographic (tax, rebate, and fuel incentives) prevails over the shouty demographic.

It’s vocal minorities all around.

I’m a pro-ev general vehicle enthusiast. I’m surrounded by Teslas. I can’t knock Tesla for putting evs on the road. I’m still waiting for the real manufacturers to get up to speed. At least we had some good PHEV options?

They’re not apples. Clearly they’re bananas. For ants.

For my most successful keto run, it was 6 months of picking one weekend per month to party on beer and simple carbs (supposed to focus on whole grains monthly). I had places to go, foods to experience. But I went from 235 to 195. Using a whole weekend to carb up all the wrong ways ties into me using this diet somewhat carelessly but still effectively. Carbing smartly would smooth out the weight loss but, instead, my chart looks like a slinky falling down stairs. After I hit the bottom for my big day, I gained about half back in the following year. I’d like to get a 3+ month run started in a few weeks. I started Jan 1 but work trips tripped me up, sending me to places where it was impossible to go carb free.

From what I remember, the bad cholesterol was high and good was average. My blood pressure reduced somewhat over that 6 months, although the dramatic weight loss also promoted more physical activity. I didn’t really add exercise, but I was able to do all the random daily stuff for longer before overheating.

Et al, brute?

75mph is a lot, regardless of vehicle. A deer’s mass is horizontal whereas a human’s is vertical, altering the results. Fuck the cybertruck, but at least be logical.

I’m mildly infuriated for having to scroll pass this. Twice. Once in my feed, hoping it was c/mildylinfuriating, and a second time to come down here and tell you about it.

Sofa king, a couch?

Room temperature water because I chug a pint at a time and get on with my day. My bean water? Also room temperature, but because it’s the temperature that takes the least amount of work across preparation, storage, and consumption.

Is the roast one usually set to a sprint through some crazy Minecraft route? Not sure if that’s the same song type or if it’s just my feed that presents it over Minecraft. Funny, while enjoyable, I always noted the subtle lack of musical coherence or something along those lines so it’d make sense

Paying, in the exact context of this topic, is to feign a legitimate connection with the performer. Whether you know it’s fake or not, direct interaction feels better. General examples of meaningless connections could be a celebrity answering your AMA question, could be a food company acknowledging your complaint, could be a car company noting your taste, could be a vibrator in a OF performer’s pussy matching the cadence of your tokens, could be a stripper listening to you cry in the vip booth. We are humans and we have silly feelings getting in the way of logic.

For the broader porn topic, paying is something you might do for appreciation of the content from particular sources or to maximize access to content not readily available by torrent. Or for addiction to novelty. I’ve thought about it because the hub/tube sites have shitty search algorithms that don’t do 100% keyword inclusion while pushing trending uploads that are either 90 second OF/cam teasers or overly abusive scenes.

“I think” applies to the reason for an evolutionary trait. They’ve presented that trait as fact.

It’s the same as Wendy’s having a department just to write sarcastic tweets. It’s makes you think of them as Corporation the Person instead of Corporation the Corporation. It’s brand imaging. It makes you form a sentimental attachment to a corporation so you choose them over competitors, alternatives, or not buying anything at all.

DOGE, but 25% more efficient?

“more ads” as if it isn’t already as flooded as meta sites.

Cars are way more complicated. Maintenance is somewhat the same for things like brakes and oil, but taking down a check engine i light trigger is worse than wifi. No scanning for a code doesn’t tell you what broke. It tells you what isn’t reporting right. Diagnoses is up to you.

That being said, cars are way more reliable in general. We don’t need to fix them nearly as often. Unless you’re me and keep buying 90s shitboxes to save money.

Stop? Somewhere around 1/3 of the diameter for a 45deg sloped pyramid, adding more layers would start projecting off the sides, offering no additional support for the new layer. Drawing a teardrop shape with a perfectly circular head and perfectly tangential tail with be the same as a cross section of this planet/pyramid

I’m not convinced Mt Everest represents the most weight normal earth can sustain but rather the most height gained by regular tectonic motion. However, I stead of asking how much weight can stony earth support before collapsing, it leads me to ask how much weight can the crust support before buckling? Perhaps this project has diminishing returns as more weight above causes the crust to bulge downward and compensate.

I don’t see why the base would have to be flat. It could have a spherical volume carved out the bottom to accommodate the goofy little planet below

This isn’t cursive so much as it’s dragged manuscript. Keep in mind there’s no single group of characters in cursive. There’s variations. Capital F is the whole reason I quit cursive. Some do a backwards print F, some do it like the Friendly’s restaraunt chain.

Regardless, here’s what I couldn’t read accurately that buried the message: fasting, that, climbing, mountain.
