Oh god, please, no! Everything but that!

You know, I always thought this “gay agenda” thing was ridiculous. They only want equal rights and “be left alone” essentially, right?
But seeing this, they actually seem to successfully infiltrate the conservative mind… so maybe there is something to it? O_o

Thank you, this gets to the core of the problem. Exorbitant amounts of money and effort is spent to find where the letter of the law does not match the spirit of the law. Language is messy, so it never completely will. But in cases where the spirit of the law is so obvious I’m happy when it’s enforced instead of letting them off on technicalities.

I think that’s a very important point. If you “balance” the EQ like you describe but you boost a frequency band that our ears are more sensitive to and lower a band that we’re less sensitive to by the same amount of dB… The mix might still sound louder than before.

So don’t worry too much about the numbers and heed the great advice given in this thread.

This is not really “not the onion” though…
Sure, the headline is written kinda funny with the “forced to use brain”, but I don’t think the story is wild enough…

It’s surprising, I’d thought he would be team shark. But I’m glad he’s finally answering all the important questions.

Why are they using Word in an exam in the first palace? Like, to write an essay? Our non-pen-and-paper exams were all using some web platform that worked pretty well.

Absolute shittiest moment to be single…

Thank you for sharing your experience and may the winds blow ever in your favor! Ahoy!

I’ve heard good things about tidal in regards to paying artists (more) fairly. Does anyone know more about the alternatives or has experience with them? Also in terms of the library size I’m not sure how the services compare…

Yeah, I’ve seen better strategic thinking…

Her argument for being vocal is that her and her generation will have to live with the consequences of our fuckups the longest and hardest. I think that’s pretty valid. Also, she wasn’t “elected by the central climate movement council to be their representative”, if anyone, the media “elected” her and gave her a platform. So maybe be mad at them for not choosing someone “better”?

There are plenty of old white men with respectable titles saying the exact same thing as her. If a “climate change laggard” wants to hear the same message in a deeper voice, they certainly can. For those who can be moved to action at all (and there are definitely many who are “too far gone” in some conspiracy bullshit) she can be effective for many, especially younger people who have to be shaken from their stupor. So I think it’s a bit critical to “tell the girl to shut up”.

I mean the scientists have been loud and clear. So have some politicians, but that’s not a special “story” for the media. So it just happened that a very vocal (at the time) little Girl got a lot of attention, because it seemed so special.

But how does what she is saying distract from the real issue? That’s not an attack, I’m genuinely curious what you think the real issue is and how she distracts from it…

Thank you for clarifying.

Uh, watt?

You sound miserable. I hope you can find happiness, too.

Hey, random ass dude here. Thanks for valuing my time. <3

See, it’s like when the pticher catches a five yard touchdown right after being handed an off-site yelow card. If he doesn’t tackle a goal in the next round it will never be a double-birdie and I know nothing about sportsball.

Let me explain: The humor in this comic strip lies in the absurdity as well as the “comedic timing” in the pacing of the individual panels. The symbol at the start clearly depicts a very minimalist version of a person on a bike. The comic however “takes it literally” and imagines a person driving around with only two wheels, one of which runs between their butcheeks (also a “funny part” of the human body). It doesn’t show this right away but contrasts two panels where “nothing happens” with the sudden appearance of this… Thing. It gradually reveals three funny things: First, the absurd thought that what is shown in the symbol is literally what is happening, as explained before. Second, the wheel running through the butcheeks, and lastly, that the person doing this is suffering. This means, there must be some even more absurd circumstances that lead to this whole situation.

I hope I could explain to you how this is funny. Although jokes notoriously die while being dissected.

Edit: aaaaaand the comment is gone.
