Something that’s not super controversial, but you still really stand by it.
I am convinced beyond contestation that carpeting a bathroom is an exceptionally stupid thing to do.
This is not warm, this is cold hard facts
The assignment was “not super controversial, but I still really stand by it.”
My bathroom was carpeted. By my direct ancestors. They built the rest of the world I live in, too.
“Brutal honesty” motherfuckers just want to be mean. Also they can’t handle honesty from others at all.
Allied with - “I just say it like it is”, nope motherfucker, you say it like you see it, consider you might be wrong.
And the ‘I said what I said’ and ‘Fact!’ dipshits.
Pizza is one of the best food forms we’ve ever come up with. I don’t even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.
I once made a seafood and butter sauce pizza for a highschool gf. Hated it myself but she still talked about it years after we spit. Pizza and Sandwiches are the peak of human civilization
It’s no coincidence that most pizza shops also sell sangwiches
Amen
Water is really good, you should drink it every day.
My girlfriend prefers her water room temp, and as someone who loves ice cold water, it’s so weird to me. So I think I’m gonna start thinking of this as her lukewarm take.
I am also a woman of room temp water preference, I’m glad to know there is hope for me in finding a boyfriend
Room temp water guy here, but already happily married lol
There are dozens of us!
I didn’t know I had to put this on my tinder bio, you have changed my life
I’m a woman myself too, but I see that @[email protected] has chimed in as well! So it looks like there’s hope, haha
Your girlfriend scares me quite a bit!!

Any home that doesn’t have central air conditioning should at least have a dedicated circuit outlet by each window. It’s like home designers are trying to make people sweat.
I don’t want to hear about your dog or baby.
What about baby dogs?
I don’t like puppies. Also unrelated Christmas. I’m a kid’s cartoon antagonist ready to happen.
oh, go on then
Dogs, fuck yeah. Babies, ugh.
People who are the most uptight about manners and language are the rudest and most vile shit talkers.
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
Grammar is descriptive, not prescriptive. <- The fancy way to say what you said. :-)
Bleu cheese is the best cheese.
To each their own, I think a good parmesan is my favorite, but blue cheese is pretty up there

The most important political issues are education and the environment, because those determine the future.

I’m okay with piracy. I think a lot of people feel the need to justify it with phrases like “it’s not stealing it’s just copying,” among others. To me that seems like being in denial about the moral ambiguity of what you’re doing. There’s so much free media out there you don’t need to pirate the stuff that isn’t.
Personally I’m okay with being told I’m a thief and am scamming the creators who worked hard on a product. Idc I’m broke, bored, interested in your thing and can steam it in HD from a website instantly. No login, no ads, no worries. I’m a pirate through and through and part of being a pirate is being morally bankrupt lol.
You are mostly scamming the corpos who host the content, which is a-ok in my book. If you really want there are lots of ways to support the actual creator much more cheaply than paying for a subscription to the hoster of the content. It always helps me to remember all the times that those companies screw us by changing rates, adding ads, restricting starting options, etc without providing better content to justify it. This is just payback, really. See also, stealing from your employer
Copium bruh. The creators are making this content with the expectation of being paid for their labour. By pirating you are denying them of this regardless of your reasons for doing so. Saying it’s mostly “corpos who host the content” is the ones you’re scamming is just shifting the blame. If nobody paid for subscriptions etc corporations wouldn’t profit and thus wouldn’t host or fund content and it’s creators. Obviously giving creators a larger slice is better, but denying them of anything because you think that is hypocritical (which I am)
You are assuming the corpos didn’t just buy the rights. Cause if they did, the creators got paid already.
Why did they buy the rights from the creators, tell me. Go on. Think a little.
From a technical standpoint and a legal one, piracy is copyright infringement, not theft. It’s a similar behavior but fundamentally different altogether at its core, largely because the victim of piracy does not lose anything tangible, only a perceived opportunity of a sale (which can be argued as not having been an opportunity in the first place depending on who is performing the piracy).
Both are bad, but people calling piracy theft have a terrible misunderstanding about it.
Studies consistently show that piracy increases sales.
Got any of those?
Yeah seems like there is about a 5% loss in sales for new movies and negligible loss for everything else according to that source. Notably the source does not say that piracy increases sales but of course it didn’t why would someone read a fucking source before citing it. I mean it’s not like the source addresses specifically what questions the source attempts to answer and the results they found in the opening fucking paragraph.
Just call it training the AI in your brain. You couldn’t be expected to be successful if you had to pay for all that training material…
Lukewarm water is great for showering
Private soil farming is a great business model. Low cost, high demand. With fewer chemicals and wider practice, the trade will be more sustainable.
More houses will be 3D printed — and smaller — in the future.
The internal combustion engine is the largest technological mis-step in human history.
I think components being 3d printed is more likely. It’s pretty hard to do cookie cutter complex objects like apartment buildings and family homes. Things like bricks, supports, ducts, pipes, insulation are much more adaptable. I think a hot take of mine is that 3d printing isn’t gonna be the next big thing in construction and manufacturing. There’s really sophisticated and efficient methods of doing those things on an industrial scale now that I don’t see 3d printers matching. I do think 3d printers will play a bigger role for personal use. Having a tool that could print out many different household objects just for one person seems useful. Things like toothbrushes, housing components for electronics, ceramics like plates and glasses.
