The illusion of choice is even more illusory than it seems.

Even if there was real choice inherent in the systems themselves, most people have limited ability to take advantage of said choice without completely starting over, usually with damn near nothing.

What I mean is most people aren’t wealthy, they don’t have in-demand skills, they don’t have family abroad, they can’t get sponsors to other countries. That means they are effectively stuck wherever they are, until something so bad happens they have to abandon their lives and flee.

Yeah, there was another account, cosmicpancake, doing the same thing earlier in the day. I didn’t realize they were not the same account, so I overestimated the age even tho the account page said it was an hour old when I looked at it. Figured it was a federation bug.

Having seen an absolute gob of these comments, I’m inclined to agree. They all read largely the same way, there’s an awful lot of comments for being a 1 day account (easily rivaling some of the most prolific humans we’ve had), some of them make very little sense, and they are all top level with very very very few replies to anyone, but they still address other commenters in their top level comment which is super weird. They also only seem to comment on images. Or at least I haven’t seen any that didn’t.

There was another account, cosmicpancake, that was basically the same. I didn’t realize they were not the same account. That one was purged.

Cats also have them. You sometimes see them in the corner of their eye, or partially covering their eyes when they’ve just woken up or are sick or something. They are sort of a translucent milky white.

It’s because they evolved in desert conditions, from what I’ve read. They can see well enough through them but it protects against sand and stuff.

It’s when you put ice cream in your hope.

This is going to cause problems for them…

Don’t republican conventions and things of that sort tend to impact Grindr pretty heavily?

Silly, you have to phrase it the way new parents do.

Legalize abortion through 129 months.

Eh, I’ve worked in a few call centers and from what I’ve seen, they just constantly hire, training groups for various contracts are frequent, and people are pulled from closed contracts to fill in when people leave or are fired from ongoing contracts. They also tend to overhire for each training group because a lot of people will quit or not be good at it.

They CHURN, and they don’t give a fuck because everyone is going to burn out or move on in short order anyway. That’s just the nature of the job. If you don’t seem like a good fit quickly they won’t keep you around. Is all metrics.

They are horrible places to work. Often referred to as “employment of last resort” by employment services people around here.

I’ve genuinely never understood how people can stand chocolate and fruit together. Or fruit and coffee for that matter. Chocolate and coffee taste kinda similar to me though so those mix well..

But fruit with either is just super nasty to me.

All that said, the best chocolate I’ve ever had was some imported thing that tasted vaguely of raspberry, but wasn’t actually supposed to. It was just chocolate that got stored with other candies.

I’m imagining a t-Rex with a high capacity O2 tank strapped to its back, and a little tiny human size oxygen mask covering like a single nostril..

But oh no! The O2 is low and it needs to change the tank, but the itty bitty rexy arms can’t reach so it’s just spinning in circles trying to get the strap off. It’s getting dizzy now from a lack of oxygen and, well, spinning. Eventually it just sort of falls over and maybe some other Dino comes and changes the tank for it (altruism isn’t just a human trait!). That Dino sighs and says “you do this every day. Just ask for help, dingus.”.

Thanks for that giggle :)

I’m just gunna leave this here… I had to go searching for it from the meme. Highly related. But SpongeBob.

Is this chucklefuck implying that there aren’t enough horny men out there to keep birth rates high?

Pretty sure that’s not the problem..

Maybe it happens in the future, but they come back through the birth channel and all, so it goes a bit further back than the 70s.

That’s why we ended up with boomers fucking everything up. It’s just how it always went. The few shit-ass survivors of the incoming shitstorm went back and fucked everything up, because they feel it’s their only chance at anything good. Ironic. Causing the very thing you are fleeing.

Ungh I hate missing garbage day.

Granted, I compost everything I can so it’s mostly just plastic that can’t be recycled, and then my recycling that goes every other week (for which I have two bins because I often forgot to take them out on the correct week, and a month of recycling definitely doesn’t fit in a single bin)

But by the time I actually go to take out my trash, it really needs to go out. And it’ll still take 2-3 weeks to actually get it out there on time..

Not to be “that guy”, but technically it’s the fetus’ placenta. It’s formed by the egg, not the mother. So it’s still wrong to say the baby is in its mother’s placenta.

Omg I would literally kill myself if I tried this. Not on purpose or anything, but frankly I’m amazed I haven’t yet killed myself. My stairs fucking suck.

They are old original stairs and they turn a corner halfway. Where they turn, there is a four-stair fall in the inner corner if your foot slips. Meanwhile on the far side it’s unclear how much further they go, because they aren’t particularly logically shaped, or even.

I… don’t think that’s insulation..

It’s a really shit grainy picture but I’m pretty sure that’s a massive bee or wasp hive..

Omg are hip huggers and flares finally coming back? That’s amazing news!! I fucking hate wearing high waist pants and in the last few years that’s basically all one can find. Same with skinny pants. They are so fucking uncomfortable. I literally cannot tolerate them (autistic sensitivity for the win..)

Can confirm. Not squeamish per se, but not interested in putting things into any holes (other than food in mouth, and even that’s a pretty weak drive) and I’m definitely not passing on my shit genes, so.
