Semi relatedly, there’s some new blocks in my city that are both ugly and expensive to live in. It’s this soulless, almost corporate feeling type of architecture. Doesn’t fit into how the city looks at all. They had the opportunity to decide whether to build affordable housing or something pretty that aesthetically fits into the city and picked neither. No doubt the shareholders shed a tear of joy.

I mean if you just talk about your profession and never link anything, surely it won’t look like an ad? And it’s a fascinating profession that I’m sure people like to learn about.

The reason for that is almost certainly psychological, you’re way more careful if you can feel every tiny slip and know there’s no metal cage protecting you. Similar to how youre less likely to hurt yourself with a sharp knife vs a dull one (though theres more reasons than the psychological aspect there). And I guess part of it is ow speeds; but even then:

Bicycles are more likely to slip on a snowy, icy or even wet road, simply because they have a smaller surface that touches the road. Also, as opposed to anything 3+ wheeled, they lean into turns and can slip sideways that way. I have a cool laceration scar on my chin to prove that.

So, I guess my point is, don’t take this comment to mean bikes are the safest vehicle in the snow, folks.

I don’t cycle when there’s snow on the road (bc I hurt myself that way once), but know from others there are spike tyres for bicycles. Keep in mind though that this still won’t give you the amount of stability you may be used to from something four wheeled. Be careful not to lean into turns too much, ime that’s the situation where slipping is most likely.

If it’s not ai or Photoshop, they did them for the shitpost and removed them soon after, in pretty sure.

If 250ml of garlic sauce is a menu item, someone likely conceived of this ahead of time.

Someone else using fortran in research checking in. In particle physics, were basically writing huge, physics heavy Markov chain monte Carlos in it. Just one example.

This is not meant to be a counter, I’m curious: have you? Cause I haven’t, and I’ve always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it’s stupid, and I’ll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can’t chew or sth like that, or can’t keep solids down) or if they’ve misplanned and can’t have real food (like between two appointments).

You know, I keep wondering this, because it genuinely is a similar amount of work. It’s just putting two dry and one wet thing in a pot. It takes me maybe 3 minutes. You don’t even have to do the ‘bring to a boil, then turn the heat down’ bit the other person described. Just turn on medium heat and leave it be. I’d probably take longer reading the package instructions and following them correctly on something ready made.

That said, I’ve gotten ready made meals for lunch when my work only had a microwave and no real kitchen.

Ok but absolutely slaying in terms of your look intimidates people and makes them leave you alone

Oh yeah I do that already!

Most of them are, because they were built centuries ago when contempt for the disabled was even more en vogue than now. The difference is that this one is apparently going backwards in that regard, while many others are trying to go forward. For example, my city is gradually remodeling bus/tram stops to allow level access to the vehicle.

People keep saying this exact shit like ‘shitpost’ is synonymous with ‘anything goes and shall not be criticised’

Edit: guys stop criticizing this comment this is a shitpost community

The only thing in the way is my astounding lack of object permanence

I wish, I struggle to keep focus if I don’t physically turn the page

Ugh but books are just about the main thing I’m consumerist about. I WANT to have them in my home indefinitely. I want to be reminded a specific title exists by seeing it on the shelf, and then reread it. And I want to underline or comment on my favourite passages in pencil. They’re the one non-necessity I’ll keep splurging on; pretty much everything else is handed down, borrowed, or necessary to some extent.

Gay is when you have a girlfriend. So regardless of if you’re straight, lesbian, bi, pan, etc., if you have a girlfriend, you’re gay. If you have a boyfriend, nb partner, or no partner, you’re straight. Poly people are gay as soon as they date at least one person who they use the term girlfriend for. If you’re a middle aged woman who refers to her female friends as girlfriends, guess what, gay. Hope this helps

I’ve seen and heard both men and women bring up their own stretch marks, but I’ve almost* never seen or heard anyone of any gender bring up someone else’s. And I have stretch marks, and have been seen naked by several people of various genders.

*the one exception I’ve seen is as part of a list of reasons husbands have given for why they find their wives unattractive post pregnancy. And that was maybe twice and in anonymous comments.
