I also have rosacea, is the MedSpa stuff helping? Is it very expensive?

I love this kind of thing and appreciate the humor. I don’t think it’s something that would come to me easily if I were to create one on my own, however.

But thank you for the illustration, it is helpful and made me smile :)

Thanks for asking this, OP. I’ve been wondering this same thing for awhile with no real results when I search.

Someone took their Nintendo games a little too seriously.

I love that Siri is kinda stupid for just this very reason.

Lucky you then that Amazon now has their own pharmacy!

The other things were like a large purse/tote bag and a rug, so yeah it was kinda random (so it seems) but apparently the evidence is pretty solid in that case.

Doesn’t make it any less weird though.

Undiagnosed ADHD until I was almost 30.

This is fucking bullshit.

I review science proposals for the government that come from private companies responding to an announcement about grants for specific kinds of technology.

I have to submit a financial form every year disclosing stock that I own to make sure there are no conflicts of interest.

The fact that is guy is allowed to shrug and say “nah” and just keep going blows my mind.

No, but I come with 2 cats.

Holy shit will you adopt me? That sounds amazing!

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but airports. And their bars. I have had so many interesting conversations with random strangers at airport bars.

And I mean genuine, honest, conversations. I had a layover in Vegas the day after a guy killed like 60 people at that concert. I had been in the Vegas airport many times before and it’s always so loud with the slot machines and people are excited and happy…there’s a lot going on.

That day, it was absolutely silent except for people crying and quietly chatting. It hit like a ton of bricks…the contrast. But everyone wanted to talk about it and tell their story - what they saw, how they escaped, etc. And granted, this isn’t a typical story and it’s tragic as fuck, but everyone has a story and I find that fascinating.

I fucking hate that so much.

“People think a thing is cool, so the person who owns the thing is cool and should get a monetary value based on a lot of people’s opinions”

And everyone is lIke “Yes this system is great! Let’s do this with more people”.

And then one day nobody thought the thing was cool anymore for…reasons (Tesla) and so that person loses money relatively proportional to how many cool points they lose in the minds of a bunch of other people.

But that’s a travesty and this person’s coolness now affects a lot of other people’s coolness to the point that it could severely fuck up the economy if enough people stopped thinking they were cool. So we have to keep telling this person we still think they’re cool so that shit doesn’t get really bad until we have a better plan in place to deal with it.

And then we’re like fuck…that was stupid…we shouldn’t do that again. And everyone agrees.

Meanwhile we’re still doing it with countless other people and things and we’ll act just as shocked pikachu face the next 30 times it happens.

It’s so fucked up and dumb.

This is an excellent article. I’m glad they took time to go into the history of these folks.

Random anecdote - years ago there was a hurricane heading in our general direction but not a direct hit. There was also a big UFC event that my partner wanted to watch. A friend invited him to a local sports bar to watch it, but I asked him to please stay home because the weather was still shit.

So he did and I found it on the high seas, problem solved.

The friend went to the sports bar and got stranded when the parking lot flooded pretty badly and his car was ruined.

World Federation of Advertisers

There are no good guys in this fight.

Musk posted about the lawsuit on X on Tuesday, saying “now it is war” after two years of being nice and “getting nothing but empty words.”

Stop sounding like my mom with Borderline Personality Disorder.

In November 2023, about a year after Musk bought the company, a number of advertisers began fleeing X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with Musk inflaming tensions with his own posts endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Musk later said those fleeing advertisers were engaging in “blackmail” and, using a profanity, essentially told them to go away.

And they did. Now fuck off.

Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.

Fucking finally!

Why is it not for some people? Serious question - seems like a few mixed in here and there would be the norm but I’m not sure tbh. But just based on movies, tv, etc, that’s what I’m accustomed to hearing. And real life too.

Years ago my friend and I were driving in NE Mississippi at about 2 am to visit another friend. Out of nowhere this kid - maybe 12, but doubtful if that - with no shirt on just sprinted across the road.

We both looked at each other and said, “Did you see that?”

We both had. No idea why he was there at that time but I hope he was okay.
