No, the last one. Imagine having to expose what regime is bribing you.

While you raise a valid question, this is 100% a joke.

Can confirm, southern Europe here.

Typical restaurant opening hours are from 12 to 3PM for lunch, then they close and open again at 7PM for dinner, close at 10:30PM.

It figured out the issue with my front panel 3.5 audio jack not working when I plugged in headphones in my Mint desktop pc.

AI is decent at combing through all that documentation and forum posts and getting to a sensible approach.

As someone in the patriarchy, I definitely think we need to do more to protect our witches.

Sure, burning people at the stake has fallen out of fashion recently, they just get beaten or murdered by their husbands or boyfriends instead.

Or outright dismissed when they’re probably the most qualified in a room. Or passed over for promotion because God forbid they may want a family at some point. Yeah, we’re not there yet.

At this point I’m certain the guy is from Kentucky, and just proved his point like a boss.

I’d go with “OK” as well, but on the grounds that the intent isn’t sating hunger.

Wait, I mean, not that kind…

Did you find that people were supportive of your transition? Did it take long for people to stop deadnaming?

You can’t just fire off an entirely subjective opinion and not back it up with anecdotes.

I absolutely despise the game, so there’s two of us.

Is this just a meme, or not? I can’t tell. I expect that as a proper, responsible tiefling pyromaniac, I’d always be touching myself - and occasionally casting Protection from Energy while I’m at it. Or keep Absorb Elements in my back pocket.

This sounds rather vain and I hate it, but when I was younger I was fairly attractive. Flashing a quick smile - the genuine kind, with your eyes, like you do when you’re happy to see someone - to women especially, but even men, would do wonders when I needed help.

Like in a crowded coffee shop - catch the busy waiter’s eye and smile, there was a huge likelihood my table would suddenly come next.

Of course being nice helps, people want to have pleasant interactions, but being attractive adds to that and gets you noted quicker.

The reply here would be to post an AI video of Trump leading several young girls into the Oval office and locking the door.

Of course you can! I blame people all the time, and for a lot less!

And am I dead? Only socially.

How? Did they have a straw?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a good example of how certain people come to believe in conspiracy theories.

They are faced with a seemingly overwhelming argument that destroys some fictional narrative they chose in their head, probably because they misremember or misunderstood some basic fact behind that narrative in the past (like not listening to a thing during math and sciences classes).

Re-evaluation of all the facts in light of new information would be too taxing, and probably lead to an undesirable outcome even if completed successfully (like realising they were wrong, and possibly start questioning themselves), so a different strategy is employed.

This consists of cherry picking a very minute aspect of a bigger picture (here, that trump puts the medal in his pocket) and spin a whole narrative around it.

This works surprisingly well, at least for them, since their brain has either forgotten the conflicting facts, or outright fails to recognise their glaring ignorance about all other possibilities to explain that minute aspect differently (like the fact that the guy handing over the medal to trump is talking to him, in what looks very much like the act of gifting him the medal).

Where this unfortunately breaks down is when other people, not so reality-impared, challenge them by pointing out the glaring factual omissions.

This is usually seen as a personal attack, like they’re being called out individually and being called unpleasant things (which can be usually the case), and will respond by questioning the other person’s character, intelligence and/or intentions.

Oh, and downvoting.

This reminded me of “tapa na pantera”.

Drinking seawater will kill someone quite fast…

I don’t think that’s where we’re failing.

It became very obvious, a couple of weeks into Israel’s retaliation, that this wasn’t ever about the Hamas attacks but about wiping out every single Palestinian from Gaza.

But the EU is still searching for a spine, the US condones it, and the rest of the world doesn’t really care enough.

And here we are, with dozens and dozens of innocent people being massacred every single day. It makes me sick to my stomach…
