I see how, it’s not unreasonable :)
I took it at face value, but particularly enjoyed the absurdity of a situation that couldn’t happen; that such an innocuous song might get cancelled for being non-inclusive. A comment on the times, perhaps, but I think more reflective than judgemental
All good, easily forgiven. I found your comment somewhat amusing anyway due to the woke undertones of the cartoon
It’s pretty self-explanatory, even if you don’t know the common children’s tune or the reference to the headless horseman.
I guess this joke works better with a Turducken
My girlfriend saw this episode for the first time recently. I knew what was coming, but I knew no amount of warning would matter. We cried
That’s… depressing
I recently became the AI guy at work. It’s funny how quickly it went from “wow this works for a lot of stuff” to “but nothing I actually do.” About a week, if you’re wondering
This is more or less the case. Advertising psychology is a wildly lucrative field, if you’re good at it. Turns out “I know how ppl think, I will unveil the mystique” and “you can make more money” is right at the intersection of $$$
To your last comment: overstimulating environments both heighten awareness and reduce critical thinking capacity. I’m not sure how that translates in groceries, but I would guess something to the effect of a fight or flight “secure more food” and not worry as much about prices
I have a vine at home. For years, it did very little. My gf moved in, actually watered the plant. Is doing better.
Anyway, in another two years, I figure I’ll be paying rent to it
Never underestimate the value of walking a lot. Add weights, cycling, and yoga to add strength, stamina and resilience, respectively. Eat healthy but don’t forget to live a little too.
Then in 9 hours it’ll be completely outdated and in 20 years it’ll come back as washaed and be bip again (god forbid you use trendy or hip)
I agree, my only contention is: not something important. Something fundamental to existence. Humans are primates, and touch is one of the most natural interactions a primate has. It is calming, safety, belonging.
A recent study I saw on science alert talked about how “men experience touching their partners as one of the best solutions to their anxiety”. Yeah, no shit, the sun also rises in the morning lol just my 2 cents
I’ll add to your last point, significant time in nature (hikes, sitting in a park, hell staring out a window at greenspace). I find many city folks don’t know how therapeutic this can be
One of the most utilitarian xkcds i know of. 10/10
Ah, a one way trip to the caves!
Will have to go back and watch but I think so!
Professor walks into conference room: “G N Eee”
I don’t remember what episode, but first time i caught it, I rewatched it several times and laughed so hard it became part of my identity
The best kind: committed :D
Something about quantum physics and change the outcome by looking at it? There now it’s science
