I swear I have a kbin app called /kbin that got advertised to me here. For Android.

How does that work? Doesn't it need an API key to make calls?

I just feel bad for people like that. They don't understand what they're missing.

I instinctively scroll down 1-2 screens now to get past all the ads and promoted pages. It's like Amazon the few times I use that. Fully enshittified. I just use Bing most of the time which isn't any better.

That doesn't mean everyone living on stolen land gets a pass just because they weren't the ones to steal it. They have an obligation to make it right.

Them and Terraria. Love those folks.

Petty theft and similar crimes are almost always borne out of desperation. When you can't feed your family, have zero job prospects, or feel like the world won't allow you more than the barest subsistence, people turn to crime.

Vast majority of people aren't going to start mugging strangers when they are doing OK just because they want more. Personal risk of harm is just too great. Those types of thieves generally perpetrate white-collar and financial crimes.

Bottom left yellow person would be swayed if his initial motives were real. But the last motive shows yellow person is actually desperate, so while increasing guilt, is unlikely to fix the core issue and sway them.

How do you not know that Dr House is the villain in that show? Im this clip his own colleague calls him out for it. This clip clearly shows how biased and judgemental he is without basis. He fucking abuses pills in this scene. THAT'S A CLUE.

Do you think Heisenberg is the hero, too?

Their time is more important than your time because they've triple booked all their patients in order to maximize profits. I hope 7min enough to discuss your entire physical health and chronic pain treatment options. If not they'll have to schedule you a follow up because there are other patients waiting! /s

The hottest lava gets about 200C lower than the melting point of what looks like stainless steel. And the water inside will actually wick that temperature from the outside into the water pretty effectively.

That's also why you can boil water in a paper cup by placing it over a flame. The water eats the eat like a hungry jiraffe.

TBF, I have a 3-tier retirement plan (pension, 401k, SS) and I'm still worried for solvency in my senior years. I expect 2/3 of those to be unfunded and raided in the next 30 years.

Even with all that, as a millennial I'm expecting to die at work.

I spend my work downtime the 1 day I have to be in office writing dnd campaign material to save my prep time at home.

Nobody wants to change. It's hard and expensive. Until they have to because conditions have required it. Then they change as fast as possible to a new state that works in the new conditions so they can survive.

I had been waiting from pre-teen, through teenage years, and past my young adult years. Wonder, waiting, hoping I would someday feel like I had "grown up" and was an "adult" now.

That's the trick: it never happens. There's little difference between a "kid" and an "adult" besides obvious physical maturation. You just get new things to juggle and new worries. Bills and job instead of homework. Kids and coworkers and friends (if you're lucky) instead of HS drama. I still don't feel that much different at the core than I did at ~18 and that was 19 years ago.

This person emulsifies.

American cheese, like sliced bread, is an amazing achievement of food science. And then people shit on it because they don't understand it's purpose.

Inclusion and representation isn't controversial unless you're a bigot.

There's more but they had to crop out the 1ga bag of fries that they use as insulation for your burger.

In'n'Out fries are only OK. Honestly their burgers are only OK, too. Five Guys is superior. In'n'Out just has the distinction of being quite cheap.

It does but only due to practicality.

Seismologist Susan Hough has suggested that a magnitude 10 quake may represent a very approximate upper limit for what the Earth's tectonic zones are capable of, which would be the result of the largest known continuous belt of faults rupturing together (along the Pacific coast of the Americas).[17] A research at the Tohoku University in Japan found that a magnitude 10 earthquake was theoretically possible if a combined 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) of faults from the Japan Trench to the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench ruptured together and moved by 60 metres (200 ft) (or if a similar large-scale rupture occurred elsewhere). Such an earthquake would cause ground motions for up to an hour, with tsunamis hitting shores while the ground is still shaking, and if this kind of earthquake occurred, it would probably be a 1-in-10,000-year event.[18]

So a 10 could be like, if California decides to finally go walkabout. Physically possible, but the sheer amount of movement a part of the crust would need to experience is very unlikely and therefore a scale measuring that or above isn't needed.

Taunting the general public. Always a winning move.

Giving desperate people money for food and housing is clearly a plot to benefit BIG CAPITALISM!
