there is one extremely important thing to teach: pull the skin taut

so long as the skin is taut you’re way way less likely to cut yourself

holy shit the usb-to-AC cable is real

people are expected to teach their kids to wash under the foreskin, and some people apparently think it’s just dandy to perform genital mutilation on their children, so no: teaching them to shave doesn’t register on the weirdness scale.

that’s moving the goalposts, the previous poster claims that you simply cannot tell the difference between sounds that don’t exist in your native language, which is fucking obviously false and they should be ashamed of posting something like that

i have no clue where the fuck people get this idea, it’s clearly nonsense since people pick up accents just from living in a different country for a year or two

i’ve never understood this, i’m slightly older than 9 months and i’ve been perfectly able to pick up new sounds, and people learn new languages all the time…

PSA: they have another app that is way way more useful for non-nerds who just want to learn about plants and have some fun.

cars, like guns, should require a mental check and a license to even purchase and own, be kept in secure storage, and only used in highly regulated locations where safety is guaranteed.

when votes are anonymous you can just not give a fuck about what they paid you to vote, you can take as many bribes as you want and vote for yourself regardless, thus people don’t really bother buying votes.

frankly there should at least be an online refresher and test that people have to take every year, traffic laws change and people forget things.

now i’m hungry

cite my balls

have a look at their post history, they’re clearly not here in good faith.

well even if you subscribe to carbrainism it doesn’t make sense to just add lanes to roads, lanes are almost never the bottleneck. What you want is higher-capacity junctions.

goodness no, we can’t show warcrimes on tv

IP bans are something you should resort to when it’s literally that or your servers choke to death on botnet spam

what you’re talking about is people who treat capitalism as a fucking religion, who think the only point to life is to make number go up.

A sane “capitalist” will realize that it should be a means to an end, that the actual goal is to make life nice, so it only make sense to apply capitalist practices up to the point where it causes harm.
Like, what are you going to do with billions of dollars if there’s no one to maintain the roads and airports and railways? What joy would you experience on a wasteland planet with no pretty nature and human culture?

Think of an old-timey shopkeep for example, sure they operate under capitalism, but they still want to fucking talk to their customers and be part of the community, and they’ll give kids some extra candy for free because they can trivially afford to do so and it brings them joy to see happy kids, plus those kids will then grow up and remember how ol’ shopkeep Williams was nice to them and they’ll help him out in his twilight years.

unfortunately a lot of people blithely stand around defending the wealthy as the wealthy kick them in the balls

really telling on yourself there

my point is why the fuck would one need any sort of gpt-like thing? are we seriously already at the point where people feel that is a necessary thing in daily life?
