In this context, “prostrate” is super confusing.

Worse than the monetary theft, he appears to have stolen the identity and likeness of Good Guy Greg.

I mean, it’s not “funny haha” throughout, but it’s great double-edged satire.

It did make me laugh out loud when the punchline showed up at the very end (the title of the short film in Comic Sans).

Health insurance is a scam. American healthcare is atrocious. Stochastic terrorism is never okay. Don’t you dare claim that it is.

Let this be a warning, kids. Tats like this are a gateway. Don’t think that he can hide behind a mask forever. Don’t follow his route.

Has someone being awkward or a bit weird ever dissuaded you from having romantic interest in them?

"Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

You got this! Good luck!

They probably did read UK and just went off on a sine or cosine about how bad it would have been with an American lawyer.

You should listen to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports if you haven’t already. It’s beautiful calm for when you’re in a chaotic environment.

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s maybe too harsh. Maybe just downgrade him to ad-supported?

I’m another Libertarian to Socialist convert. Also ultra-conservative religious to nonreligious.

I started reading up on the origins of beliefs I held. I learned that Hayek (author of The Road to Serfdom, a father of Austrian economics) thought that his ideal laissez faire economics could only be sustained with universal social safety nets like UBI and healthcare for all. Smith (author of The Wealth of Nations, father of American capitalism) basically replaced royal bloodlines with wealth birthright, using class separation of ownership (and heavy emphasis on slavery) instead of historic feudalism. His system was basically the same, just replacing the tiny ruling class. And I discovered Marx wasn’t some evil terrorist trying to destroy the world.

For religion, it was all the internal inconsistencies. The problem with fundamentalism is that it’s self-destructive. Everyone fights over smaller and smaller interpretation differences, searching for The Truth, ignoring that you can literally back up any conclusion by justifying it backwards with the text. And everybody in a conservative religion has a lot of immovable conclusions they will defend to the exclusion of all evidence or all people.

Also a fan of the serial comma, but I don’t think a bulleted list works for your example:

This

• That

• The other

And so much legroom.

I mixed up a few words and in the context interpreted this as “horse genitals”.

Ibram X. Kendi said something about this that made me stop using the term “white trash”. Basically, the idea of the term is that “white trash” don’t uphold the virtue of whiteness, that whiteness is goodness, and white trash are white in skin color only. Thus, using the term supports white supremacy, whether or not you realize it.

So thank you for saying something, even if it’s unpopular.

It can save data by excluding data streams that you don’t need. For instance, I don’t need French, Italian, Japanese, German 5.1 audio streams that each have 700Mbps bitrates or higher, nor do I need an English 1.5Gbps master audio stream, a 700 Mbps English stream, a 500 Mbps descriptive audio for the blind, and 5 different special edition commentary tracks for a film I’ll watch once or twice. All those tracks can really add up, and torrent sites are often country or language specific, so remuxes might have original language and/or native language audio only.
