Serving sizes are always the stupidest things. Tiny 99 cent bag of chips? 2.5 servings (when there's maybe 40 total chips if you get lucky). On the other end, cheap-o advent calendars, the kind with super thin chocolate in them, usually say "Serving Size: 1 Calendar"

The best is when a bottle of regular Coke is 1 serving, and the same sized Diet Coke is 2 servings, so the numbers look smaller (and better!).

I know two nurses. One of them is a really cool dude, in good shape, fun to party with, shares articles about local policies that are being passed that will either gently caress over healthcare, or help it, and various interesting health-related articles.

The other is as wide as she is tall, never stops making GBS threads out superstitions, inspirational quotes, and memes about how hard nurses work.

It amuses me that a lot of people go "hurr durr murrica so racism" when Europe is still insanely xenophobic and it's just accepted there.

Now I'm not saying that America doesn't have its share of bullshit but I'm just amused people don't realize it happens literally everywhere.

To be fair, I think America leads the first world in shooting minorities and having the cops go on paid leave.

I'm not even sure what this guy was thinking of because dust mites don't fit either of those facts. Was he thinking of water bears or something? Cause even with those I don't think they can survive a direct nuclear bomb and they're definitely recognized as living animals.

The only things I can even think of that have a complicated answer to "are they alive" are viruses, and even with them the growing consensus is that they are in fact living

Yeah tardigrades are sturdy as hell, but not invincible, and everyone knows they are alive. I remember someone talking about how fire fulfills a majority of the requirements for being considered "alive", even more than some of the more basic viruses.

It doesn't. No man looks better wearing one of those. 90% of the guys who wear them do it to try and hide their bald patch/receding hairline.

It seems like in order to make trigger warnings and random internet claims of PTSD as laughable as possible, people have started to think of it as this almost impossible to contract disorder that requires living in a war zone for a year and then being certified by a team of doctors. People attach emotion to things very differently and experience trauma in very personal ways, but a close death seems like an incredibly likely way for it to occur.

It's almost like there's a tradition of ignoring and disregarding people's mental health in society!

The first few times I saw that movie was on Comedy Central so that line took me by surprise when I first saw on DVD...which doesn't make any sense given the stuff that CC shows . I mean seriously, Drawn Together features a character with tentacles coming out of her vagina but, again, a girl merely mentioning her period and having a wide vagina is just too much for the edgiest channel on basic cable. I don't get it. Other than sexism but it's apparently very frowned upon to pull that card.

As an aside, as a lady I find that line to be super funny :v:

Men are made extremely uncomfortable by women's sexuality and sex organs. You can make a thousand dick jokes and nobody cares, but the second a period joke is made all the men squirm.

My favorite part about that is, so what? If anything that would prove scientists were on the ball. They came up with a hypothesis - she doesn't explain where the idea for dinosaurs came from if not from fossils, but we'll allow it anyway for the broader point I'm making - and then evidence emerged that elevated the credibility of said hypothesis. Eventually enough evidence emerged to make it accepted as a true and accurate account of Earth's distant past.

That is literally how science works. If this is what actually happened it should only reinforce someone's appreciation of science as an effective predictive tool!

Far more importantly, however, is that someone who believes dinosaurs were a hoax lives in a world where rad :black101: as gently caress fights between Triceratops, and poo poo getting Thagomized by Stegosaurs, is not a part of reality. Why the gently caress even live?

Exactly, we were sure gravitational waves existed about a hundred years before we were able to detect them. Scientists are pretty clever, which is what bothers me about the various anti-science and conspiracy groups. A bunch of vapid morons spend an hour googling, and think they know more than fields of people who have decades of research and experience behind them.

I've noticed that people with certain builds, mainly really fat people, do look strange after a shave (the face :mad:). My old supervisor looked exactly like a giant baby, I think it's the lack of definition.

Babies are fat and have no hair. When fat people remove hair, they look more like babies than skinny people. Problem solved.

There was a report a while ago that said if you were slightly overweight, you were less likely to die from Condition X than people of an average size.


Therefore, fat = healthy

It's not uncommon for skinny people to die from illnesses, since a person's ability to eat is often one of the first things effected and skinny folk don't have as much fat reserves to fall back on.

But that's the difference between rail thin and "in good shape but a bit of a tummy", not hugely obese.

I feel the same way when I hear fundamentalist Christians claim that atheists can't be good people because they don't have the threat of eternal damnation to keep them in line. If you can't fathom someone being nice even though there's no reward or punishment involved, it says more about you than it does about me.

These generally are the same people who beat the poo poo out of their kids as a form of punishment. They only know fear and anger, and live their whole lives around it.

I'm always baffled by how folks conflate an actual woman possessing consent and agency with a representation of a woman created for the purpose of male gaze. Like, wow.

A friend and I had an argument with some dipshit a couple days ago about this. He could not understand the concept that women in real life should be allowed to wear whatever they want, since they are real people who have their own thoughts and desires. Whereas women in videogames, a product made by and targeted to men, should maybe not be wearing "sexy" clothing all the time.

Every time I would mention that a woman going to war should maybe not have exposed cleavage he'd reply with something along the lines of "yeah, and we should all convert to Islam and have women wear burqas". Sadly the comment thread was deleted, there were some gems in it.

He also said he wouldn't care about Shani from the Witcher series if she wasn't hot.

"Third-hand smoke is thought to potentially cause the greatest harm to infants and young children, because younger children are more likely to put their hands in their mouths, be cuddled up to a smoker with toxins on their skin and clothes. Infants also crawl on the floor and eat from their hands without washing them first, ingesting the toxins into their systems."

I still hate that they put all that effort into something that literally does not and cannot matter. The type of game they were making was, blatantly and from the outset, at odds with the story they were writing. I really like the setting, I just wish they were hanging it off a game that could actually explore things like the Vishkar and the omnics.

As dumb as this discussion is, I have to agree. I don't get why they didn't write a story that explains why the characters are doing what they are doing in the game.

On a site that may or may not have been SA (It's been awhile and I've forgotten that detail), there was a discussion about --what else--sex. Some kid, who couldn't have been very old, tried to sound like an expert. And like a typical nerd he said, "Now that females have evolved hairless pubes--"

I couldn't read on. I didn't want to be a witness to the upcoming bloodbath.

Still, probably better than what he got in school.
