To Cheney? That’s wild, thanks

I understand the waterboarding, but what’s with the shotgun?

I mean yeah that’s pretty much it. My dad’s cooking is unseasoned cucumber in a pan with some grocery-store veggie balls, which is not enough for 2-3 people. My mom’s cooking is much better, but it’s cooked more out of expectation than enjoyment. Eating together is expected but not enjoyed for its own merits afaik.

Desserts are the exception usually. Still, it messed up with my relationship to food, made it a lot worse than it could have been. Eating full meals with someone makes me gag, I have trouble eating normal quantities.

It’s not intentional. There’s tons of times where I’ve acted poorly because I was hungry, and even if I’m aware of it at the time it doesn’t help much.

More things feel like personal attacks, you have less self-control, and generally you get more emotional. In retrospect, sure, I know I’ve acted like a dick, but when you’re hungry enough that you can’t think straight…

Trans woman who pays a bit more attention to mannerisms than most people, both in men and women.

1. Yes, it’s a real thing
2. It’s at least 90% men, and I’m being generous
3. It’s not most men that do it (especially in the sillier ways)
4. Size matters not

Picture a teenager in black sweatpants and a hoodie, on his own in a bus. That’s the most common I think. It’s generally men who try to project an image of strong masculinity or coolness. They don’t really do it with other people because it’s silly. It might be an unconscious thing, idk. It still looks stupid. It’s mostly men because it’s a masculinity thing.

It’s great if you don’t do it, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you didn’t. But there very much is a type of guy who does it. And there is no common type of woman for that specific behavior.

A lot of germany has deposits actually, so an extra 25-50 cents on top for cans and glass bottles

Proposal: have a shorter way to write “global time” (or you could have, say, 4 quarter-global times), the same way we have C, F and K for temperature, then make that a more common way of communicating time.

Yeah UTC kinda does that but nobody uses it like that. Shorten it to U and it’s much punchier. Also abolish daylight savings, too confusing.

If you don’t wanna bias to europeans too much, use the international date line.

Weird flirting would have been my guess

Or even just a bad attempt at small talk

They can, but it’s not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don’t use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you’re interested in the exact details.

They’re trying to block adblockers again, it seems. I got the “adblockers are not allowed” popup again recently.
