Holy shit that's such a small thing I didn't even notice until just now.
I shouldn't be surprised, my brother in law flipped his shit when his kids wouldn't stop sending the word "color" on their family group chat because rainbows fly around the screen. Went on a big tirade about how nobody should be "celebrating the 7 sins"
If I had been present, I'd love to have asked him to clarify which of the sins he means, because I have a good idea but I want him to say it out loud so I can argue about it.
I mean, if the genocidal shoe fits...
It wouldn't surprise me.
Every time one of the channels I'm subbed to posts a video, the first 20 minutes or so of comments are mainly bots trying to catch thirsty nerds.
Oh, you think that disembodied voice looks sexy? Please, go on, I love tasting hearing about synesthesia.
If I had to guess, the person got their panties so twisted and bunched up, they didn't realize the video had already changed when they hit "submit comment" and posted it to the next one in queue.
I've had that happen once or twice while commenting on something, just without all the homophobia and anger.

I hate taking the time out to do all the self-care things.
Then when I get in the shower I just want to sit down and let the warm water drip down on me.
Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth, shol'va.
Shame?
BROTHERS AND SISTERS. HEAR ME.
There is no shame in being mistaken, only in refusing to see the truth.
It is unfortunate that this scum bears a resemblance to Hammond of Texas. But you have seen your mistake for what it was, dwell on it no further.
I did a double-take, because for some reason I thought you had Don S. Davis in the picture.
I've got enough family from England, Scotland, and Ireland to want to make a trip to England just to piss on her grave.
I think the local constabulary still finds that a bit offensive to do though.
Legit that's what my last employer did when a soda machine had a recall on one of the diet sodas.
Just pulled however many quarters from a register, bought all of them, and boxed them up with LOTO tape all over the box. When the guy came in to resupply, he was given the box and pulled the quarters out of the machine and gave them back.
He also left a small stack of reimbursement tags to be left on the machine, fill out what the soda was, what was wrong with it (expired, wrong soda dispensed, etc), and whoever came back would leave the cost taped to the tag with the office to return to the right employee.
"sure, the forest I played in as a kid is silent, the trees are dying, insects are sparse, we go back and forth between buried in 10ft of snow and heat wave drought inside a month, the river is low enough that it exposed carvings of 1,000 year old famine warnings, but we keep getting flooded every year with once in a lifetime storms, but there's NO EVIDENCE of climate change and I can prove it because [politician/company] said so"
It's funny you say that, because I turned a good bit of my right side into what looked like hamburger by flipping my bike on a pothole.
There's a running joke (probably in every state, but I've mostly heard it in relation to Ohio) that the state flower is a traffic cone, and the state tree are the big orange barrels. Brand new roads get ripped up every winter because plows and road salt aren't good for... Well, anything except cars. And they're not even goor for cars long term.
Actually, I was assuming more people have heard the joke "more astronauts have come from Ohio because they're fleeing the state" more than assuming "this person is American"
But yeah, Ohio. People meme on it being boring and full of cow farms and corn fields for a reason.
Also occasionally our rivers catch on fire and trains get a bit tipsy.
Here in the Midwest, I got a lovely view of....
Clouds.
Theres a reason so many astronauts come from here... They want to leave so bad, they fled the planet.
Barely?
In my experience ops don't know shit. It's all about "gut feelings". "Well "his feels illegal so I'm gonna arrest them and if I'm wrong I get to sit at my desk all day or go on a paid vacation" is how it is.
I can't tell you how many times I've been stopped by cops for riding my bicycle on the road. Literally to the point where I have a laminated card I keep in my wallet with the relevant laws saying "this bike is illegal on a sidewalk and cars must give way on the road"
I've had a few threaten to arrest me "for being a piece of shit" or "for wasting my time" like I'm the one who made them stop...
I've been stopped because I "fit a description" multiple times, the "description" being "man on a bike" with nothing else, supposedly.
I've been stopped for speeding in a school zone before, and if it wouldn't have been a waste of time, I'd have let it go to court and showed my helmet camera video that clearly shows my phone GPS as well as cycling computer (glorified speedometer) readout that clearly shows I was well under 25. Granted I've gone 49 in a 45 for about 3 seconds before I realized one rock and I'm dead and slowed down, there's 0 chance of me speeding past 20 on flat ground unless I'm trying to set a personal best.
I've been stopped for "being a road hazard", not having enough reflective things, having "too many lights" (one forward flasher, one steady, and one rear/one steady rear light), not signaling "and hand signals don't count anymore" lol OK...
Pretty much whatever they feel like stopping you for, they'll stop you and come up with a half-assed excuse later. They don't know the laws they enforce, and if they did, they would be considered a liability to other cops and quickly be ejected.
The people who blabber incessantly about weed being a gateway drug are the exact REASON that I agree with them, but we VERY much disagree on the specifics.
Think of it this way:
Every adult in your life has told you that weed is JUST AS BAD as heroin and cocain and meth. You hear it repeated ad nauseum, ESPECIALLY if you were in DARE.
Now one day someone you have known for a long time offers you some because "it's not that bad, trust me you'll be fine" and they go ahead and take a puff or twelve. Turns out it's not that bad. They were fine after some initial uncoordinated attempts at doing something.
So if weed is this interesting, maybe heroin isn't that bad either?
Yeah turns out heroin IS that bad, and lumping it in with weed is like tossing the kindergarten bully into a maxsec prison.
So yeah, it's only a "gAtEwAy dRuG" because you fucks lied for decades and made false equivalence of things and taught kids they can't trust you.
Plot twist: those are great photos, it's the whole building that's sideways
You have to enter through the Escher gate near the parking structure.
I never thought I'd say this but "I want other companies to succeed at space travel"
To be clear, I don't want any companies in space because they'll simply ruin space the way they ruined earth. You will never convince me there aren't executives salivating at the idea of exploiting slaves employees far away from earth and it's " limiting regulations" so they can do whatever they want including just spacing someone out an airlock if they try to strike.
But so far it's been more or less one company who's been tossing trash all over LEO and larger trash between earth and Mars.
I'd rather space travel be open and easy for everyone, including some random guy who just wants a quick trip around Saturn. Of course we're likely centuries away from that, and I don't think we have centuries left as a whole.
