We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere

Loki be like…

Most map projections dramatically underestimate the size of the Pacific Ocean:

We’re just not used to seeing this half of the planet depicted, and the Pacific IS almost half of the entire planet.

Why did his eye color change? Lol

Agreed wholeheartedly. That said, Oppenheimer is officially the only biopic I’ve ever watched twice and will definitely watch again someday. Which makes it my favorite biopic, for whatever that is worth about a genre that I loathe.

Maybe let’s try focusing on content and not personal characteristics of the presenters:

I’m way more annoyed by that terrible echoey microphone

Good.

If you think that’s true, I feel like you didn’t live through the same 90s I did lol

YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south

These women have valid fears of risking their careers by speaking up, but go off I guess

Yeah I’m absurdly good at not speaking in my native Appalachian accent, opting instead for a sort of “generic midwest.” Unless I’m tawking to ma day-ed-dy, n’ then all bets is awf."

My sister and I cover so well and so often that none of her four children who are literally being raised in Charleston, West Virginia has even a trace of our accent.

Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote “similar content”)

Never go into healthcare. That’s all I’m saying.

It’s a rather bizarre argument, essentially saying “it’s not the whole solution so it’s not a solution at all”

Lawdamercy, can you please say it louder for the people in the back whinging that they refuse to vote for Biden because his Climate Bill wasn’t perfectly everything all at once? In the face of the Republican denialist obstructionism, it’s pretty fucking miraculous. The ultimate solution to climate change is going to be a patchwork quilt of a million different tiny solutions

You’re a good teacher, working around the things they find important in their lives. Thank you

No this is different, actually. The other event is the hypothesized genetic bottleneck triggered by the Toba supervolcano eruption only 74,000 years ago as opposed to 900,000 years ago for this newly proposed event.

I’ve had multiple issues with very recently released movies (like Crazy Rich Asians) not playing at all and only giving me pixelated nonsense or the aspect ratios being completely fucked up. Never happened on HBO Max. Only since the forced migration to the new app
