Because it’s possible to joke about something while still treating it seriously? Acknowledging that the bear is relatable, and that that’s kind of funny, isn’t incompatible with urging people to respect its boundaries.

Yes, please. Subject politicians to the same indignities as the rest of us.

Perfect! :D

If I weren’t lazy I’d make a “I’m literally the guy in the photo” meme about this.

Zero. I typically browse All/Top 6 Hours. Nothing bothers me enough to want to block it.

I usually am pleasant, though. I would feel much less human if I just demanded things!

A measuring cup is a specific size, about 237mL. There’s a whole system of US measurements, actually:

3 teaspoons in a tablespoon

2 tablespoons in an ounce

8 ounces in a cup

2 cups in a pint

2 pints in a quart

4 quarts in a gallon

Not all cups are measuring cups; if you are having a cup of coffee that doesn’t mean your cup is exactly 8oz. You just infer from context that if someone is talking about ingredients then you should measure them with a measuring cup. (Very commonly you also see cups with graduated markings, which are US Imperial on one side and metric on the other, that go up to 2 cups/500mL.)

Very cool! I’m looking forward to it, but it also seems like the first expac that I might not want to enable for every playthrough, which is interesting—I wonder if we’ll see more of these themed packs going forward.

I did as a kid, but my tinnitus covers it up now.

It doesn’t have a lot of room to take the high ground on microtransactions, though. Like half of the characters can’t wear pants without a paid cosmetic.

From the link:

Prismic is still early in development and not yet in a usable state. Most of the features described below are planned but not yet or only partially implemented.

I don’t think it looks like anything, yet.

Yeah I haven’t done this with a gas nozzle, but I walk off without stuff I need and which I was just holding basically every day, so I will probably manage this feat of incredible stupidity eventually.

I told my dog I’m going to lay off sharing my food with her, because I think eating too much of whatever crap I was eating was starting to affect her health; I noticed her licking the air, which is a sign of nausea. She now believes I don’t love her anymore and howls mournfully whenever I am eating. 🤦‍♂️

This is the same guy who completely blew a town hall by not being able to read the room about Israel’s war on Gaza. Maybe he’s not cut out for politics.

That mothers shouldn’t co-sleep with infants. Every other primate I know of co-sleeps with their offspring. Until very recently every human mother co-slept with her infants, and in like half of the globe people still do. Many mothers find it incredibly psychologically stressful to sleep without their infant because our ancestors co-slept every generation for hundreds of thousands of years.

I would bet money that forcing infants to sleep alone has negative developmental effects.

Reminds me of:

(Sorry, not sure why this has weird artifacts after I uploaded it. The copy on my phone looks fine.)

I have the opposite problem where Youtubers who I watch because I enjoy their unedited, off-the-cuff content keep deciding to put more effort into their channel and start producing videos that are scripted and edited well, which I find way less interesting and watchable than their stream-of-consciousness rambling was. WolfeyVGC is a big one. He theoretically has a second channel for low effort content but he rarely posts to it.

It goes without saying, but don’t commit crime, and certainly learn from your mistakes if you do.

Bootlicker!

This is the first I’ve heard of Jumplight Odyssey. It looks potentially cool, but $30 for an early access title is a big ask in a year completely saturated with banger games, and based on the reviews it seems to need a bit more time before it is really ready. I’m not surprised, then, that it didn’t do as well as they hoped: if they hadn’t just announced that they’re stopping development, I would have put it on my wishlist to come back to in a year or two when it’s feature-complete, and when hopefully I’m not in the middle of so many other games already. If that’s a typical response, they probably didn’t get many sales.
