Never knew I had slavic tendencies. I’m picky though it has to be Claussen dill.

Oh, I missed that. Saw the part about owls in the trees, but sharks don’t seem like something owls would hunt.

A large bird is probably responsible. Eagles can pick up sheep.

This happened twice to me and my Dad. The last thing we usually do when talking the boat out of the water is remove the drain plug. It is kept in the boat’s glove compartment, when not in the water. Both times we noticed pretty quickly and were able to get it back on the trailer and pull it up to drain.

Yeah, the satanic temple is awesome. I love their t-shirts. I am not aware of anything “problematic” other than complaints by pearl clutchers because they have satan in their name.

I mean have you seen a redhead on a beach, they probably reflect the same amount as snow. Might burn your eyes if you stare long enough, they will probably turn into a lobster first.

Some people don’t have the skin for that. Instant sunburn.

Oh, so how dare a (checks notes) children’s entertainer give a fuck about children!

They are estimations. I do give them weight in the to eat or not to eat decision, but I also use my own senses.

I think it was both and the apathy of American voters who didn’t agree.

Yes, yes they are. And they have been doing so for longer than you think.

I mean the people affected by lead are still around. There was lead in everything, the lead in gasoline was found in roadside dirt from the exhaust. Not to mention all the new chemicals we have started using in the last 100years. There is definitely going to be side effects from the plastics. Heck they have proof that obesity and diabetes in pregnant women increases the chances of babies being born with Autism. Apparently the mother’s blood sugar swinging around during critical brain development stage isn’t good for the developing brain. But they aren’t going to tell people that because they want to sell their unhealthy food.

Oh my goodness yes! Not to mention the whole if you don’t dress “modestly” it’s your fault if you get unwanted attention thing. It’s a grooming ground.

I don’t think it started as a derogatory term, but it became so. People would use it to imply that someone was ugly or otherwise defective, so no husband would want them. A man unattached is still seen as more acceptable than a woman unattached even today.

I mean there were women too, they were commonly called derogatory names like spinstress.

CAPTCHA was never about keeping bots or AI out. It was always about tracking people. That’s why you get more of the “select correct images” CAPTCHAs the more you hide who you are online. It’s not that they are trying to figure out if you are a bot, it that they are trying to figure out who you are period. Interactions with a site exchange information the more interactions the more information they get. Also they can’t make a profit selling your information, they might as well use your free labor to train their AI.

2, I think I have always been 2.

It’s probably reduced brain function from COVID. I think that is affecting things more than people realize. Or everyone just got more greedy during that time.

Now I know I am relatively young (just making the cut off to be considered a Millennial). But my parents were very against allowing kids access to the internet but not ani-technology. As a result I was using a 1996 Toshiba satellite when I was 4yr for Scholastic Reader Rabbit preschool games, but didn’t have regular internet access until I was 15. So I am familiar with the eccentricities of Windows 95, this did help me at work once when we had to use some legacy software from the 90’s that would only run on Win 98. But anyway I only recently have started using Linux in Docker containers for testing environments.

After the recent “DEI replacement” cronyism maybe?Would almost bet on him firing anyone competent in favor of yes men.
