Make Justin Long stand in the Mac Mansion while John Hodgeman stands outside the Public Community housing.

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

You can’t accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.

yeah I think the extra ammonia and hydrogen gas emitted from the nitrogen fixation process fucks with the regular breakdown of sugars to make more CH4 instead of CO2.

The products of the nitrogen fixation make the environment inside the stomach less aerobic so you end up with the anaerobic breakdown of sugars.

“Oh my God lmao”

Yeah they were called CHEX QUEST and it was awesome.

As someone who hasn’t watched the show since it aired but who has seen it referenced continually on the internet, I definitely expected pocket sand.

I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.

Those food based subversion names are all alphabetical. I guess back then they didn’t have enough avocados in the code to call it “California style” so they went with “Cupcake.”

My understanding of hard water is just that there’s more calcium and magnesium ions than would otherwise be present in softer water. The varying degrees of hardness would just be the varying concentrations of these ions.

The way you experience as a human (as opposed to measuring this with a water probe) is that soap will form a complex with these ions and maybe precipitate out a little soap scum, and this reaction will happen at the same time as the reaction which complexes with any oils or dirt so it’ll effectively be wasting some of your soap and you will have to use more soap.

So you’ll be shampooing your hair and you’ll use the same amount as you used back in the soft water city and you’ll be thinking “I used the same amount of shampoo as I always do so why does my hair still feel oily?”

I have one of those articulated segmented hose things on my shower head so you can pick it up and move it around while it’s spraying and the whole thing gets all covered in limescale super fast because the hard water evaporates and precipates out the magnesium and calcium as calcite or aragonite crystals. I had never seen this happen so fast and it ruins the hose so often that I thought I was dealing with excessively hard water.

This doesn’t really fit with my understanding of what hard water is and I’m very concerned.

The place I live now has hard water that is way different from what I grew up with, but it just means that I have to use a lot more soap to clean any oils off my skin or hair, and every faucet gets a ton of lime buildup obnoxiously fast.

oh cool, I can see that it’s similar Borderlands by the screenshots, and I can see that it’s like Star Citizen because it’s not actually released yet and they’re taking money for early access.

🎵life is unfaiiir. 🎶

Yeah it was a different time. The gameplay was solid though imo.

Hell yeah, diablo with guns.

It repeats. The same “have you ever read Harry Potter” is three lines from the bottom too.

It looks like it repeats every ~5.5 lines if you track the “OK, I can’t handle typing like this anymore.” which is easier to spot with the capital “OK”.

Lefty detected.

The F sound is usually a labialdental fricative in English. So you are putting your bottom lip on your teeth and letting some air go by to make the F sound.

English has bilabial plosives where you touch both lips together and let air stop for a moment which makes the P or B sounds.

English doesn’t have a bilabial fricative so you might be doing this in your dialect and it doesn’t stand out to anyone because it doesn’t otherwise have a phonetic meaning. But, interestingly, in other languages a bilabial fricative has distinct meaning from a labial dental fricative. I believe I’ve read that in Japanese the “F” in “Mount Fuji” is actually a bilabial fricative and not the normal F that English speakers use.
