And the account was made 3 days ago. Ugh, to the block list they go.

You lower most of your fingers if they tried to cut you off.

I love how you phrased this.

Lived in the states my entire life. Never heard of that.

This isn’t an oversight; it’s a promise. TDF says that if your work can’t leave the building for legal or privacy reasons, the only way to prove that later (during an audit, for example) is if the software never gave it anywhere to go.

I love this. It’s a subtle burn, but it’s well-aimed.

You say it’s not relevant to the joke, but a realistic reflection wouldn’t show a side-by-side depiction. The way it’s portrayed here highlights the hair cut that the animal is upset about, which is key to the joke.

It might not be realistic, but I see this as “artistic license,” along with the other absurd elements.

A varied diet provides protein as well.

Science time! Proteins are made up of amino acids. Certain chains of amino acids form “complete proteins,” which are what most people think of as “protein.” However, the constituent amino acids connect with each other in our bodies even if they’re obtained from different sources. So two sources of “incomplete” proteins can still provide “complete proteins” if both are consumed. Which means it’s a lot easier to get your protein from a varied, vegan diet than most people might think.

Incomplete vs complete proteins on WebMD.

It’s also not how “1/2 off” cuts work, animals don’t go to a barber, nor do they talk.

But the reflection being unrealistic, yes, that’s where we draw the line.

I’m not the OP, I’m not the one talking about child-marriage. Thus why I’m basing my distaste for fundies on the things I said above.

Okay okay, message received. I’ll just stick to being upset at fundamentalist Christians for indoctrinating children, inhibiting their ability to develop critical thinking skills, sowing hatred and fear, and for holding disproportionate power in politics that drags back science and cultural progress for everyone.

Cries in poverty

I was watching a nature documentary last week. Rattlesnakes are some kinky motherfuckers. When the male approached the female to mate, the first thing she did was smack his head around with her tail. Then when it was time for copulation, she wrapped her tail around the male’s penis and dragged him by it to their mating spot.

I once dated a guy who was an extreme sub, who really wanted me to put him in a dog cage while I went off to work (I didn’t do it, I wasn’t ready for that level of kink at the time.) I think he would’ve been down for a rattlesnake-style mating ritual.

I often joked that my old dog was secretly a cat. Hanging out on high banisters, playing with my yarn, purring when I pet her (it was a low growl, but if I stopped petting she’d swat at me to continue, then resumed the low growl/purr.) I could almost swear she was a cat in a dog costume all along.

[Copying/pasting the response I gave to a similar question above.]

There are best practices to follow, including keeping it away from heat sources and sunlight, making sure it’s on a sturdy, heat-tolerable surface, and, yes, not leaving it on too long. (Though one hour is barely enough for the thing to heat up properly. What I’m finding online shows the limit to be around 8-12 hours. There might be different limits for different ones.) I keep mine on a tray table with nothing else on it, so it’s isolated from anything flammable. Safety care instructions say that you can tell it’s overheating if all the wax goes into one blob and stays near the top of the lamp.

Basically, as long as you follow the safety advice that comes with it and don’t leave it on too long, it should be safe.

Wow, an extra fee for the disabled to disproportionately pay.

… I’m starting to worry about the shapes of y’all’s dicks now.

Or maybe I’m desensitized because I’ve seen this thing definitely makes more phallic shapes sometimes, so this doesn’t register in comparison.

I suppose it could be a rorschach test

Your comment inspired me. Enjoy some authentic human-made, lazy MS Paint art.

Yes, I agree. My advice is more for situations I’ve witnessed where a kid’s diet is dangerously limited (I knew a kid that, no joke, only ate chocolate chip Clif Bars. The family had to plan their vacations around places where they were sold.)

But in most cases, just let the person be.

I remember when American Idol came out - far less trashy than reality shows, though still not my thing. I was in middle school and when the topic came up, the people who said they watched it “watched ironically,” that they don’t really care, they just “like to make fun of the bad singers.”

I would think, “But that’s worse than watching it sincerely. That’s just being a jerk.” I felt bad for the people who got embarrassed on national TV, the idea of watching a show just to laugh at someone is so mean-spirited.
