I’ve sometimes thought about that. Maybe in an alternate reality there’s a someone with my face who isn’t held back by any sort of morality whatsoever. Once you open that door, you can totally start spreading the stupidest ideas you can think of, and you’ll find someone who believes it and becomes your devout follower. I have a feeling that Scientology came about as a result of this sort of thinking.

Clearly illustrates the role of politics and economy. If you want to change things, you should make sure laws and regulations facilitate it.

Mastodon devs were clearly aware of the quality of text people tend to write online. It’s a very fitting term IMO.

So, is this based on the model where infinite coffee make you immortal?

It’s small ammunition for small guns.

And that’s why you always ask for a full glass instead.

I would expect that the union lawyer won’t mind that evidence is served on a silver platter like this.

They new title is approaching the style of academic papers. Let’s knock that up s notch!

“Preventative measures for statistically commonly occurring hazards and causes of death: An analysis of car accident, drowning, falling, and suicide prevention”

That page is also a goldmine for of numbers you can use for back of the envelope maths or trolling professionals of various kinds. Are you working with chemists? N_A=6 * 10^23 mol^-1 What about physicists then? c=3 * 10^8 m/s.

One of the rare cases when a factorial doesn’t lead to an absurdly huge figure. If that had been something like a “divisible by 12! rule” it would have been a lot spicier.

Mozilla also has a VPN, so that should provide some revenue. Might not be enough to let go of Google’s support, but at least it’s something.

Rookie mistake. You need to add text, a year and an emblem to check all the boxes. You get bonus points if the emblem already contains other flags.

Was it Randall or someone else who mentioned in a speech that infinite patience could be a superpower? Like, when you arrive at the store just when it closes, you would just stand there outside the locked door until it opens again. Anyway, this comic connects beautifully with that idea.

If they included that sort of bias in the data, America would be number one.

Is this a thing now? You’re trying to turn it into a thing, right?

Is the decade long transition period really over?

These numbers seem really small compared to all the headlines I’ve seen over the years. I expected Chile to be closer to 99% if it’s the leading country in solar power.

You can choose to browse all, local or subscribed. My guess is, you don’t spend much time checking the subscribed feed if you end up seeing stuff you don’t care about. It’s true that pretty much everything in the “all” menu is irrelevant stuff I don’t want to see, so I don’t really check that place very often.

If the vegans there can’t take a joke, they aren’t very chill. However, being intentionally offensive and rude shouldn’t be tolerated, even if it’s a chill place.
