Richard, but specifically the Richards who insist on going by the full name all the time. I've met decent Ricks and Riches, and I've even met a few Dicks who weren't actually dicks, but every Richard I've ever met has been an "I demand to speak with the owner" rear end in a top hat who calls waiters "the help".

The sheer difference in scale makes any comparison worthless. If I lost 99% of my net worth I’d be homeless. If Bezos lost 99% of his net worth he’d still be a loving billionaire.

My issue with the "why is it a problem if they don't think it's a problem?" line of thought with depression and the like is that it's a condition that affects how you think and often leads to self-destructive behaviors. So is "I don't have a problem with my depression and don't want to treat it" a well-reasoned idea, or is it depression-induced self-sabotage?

"Nylons and lipstick" are rather sexualized indicators of exiting childhood, though. If I'm told that somebody can't get into Narnia because now they're only concerned about paying bills and getting promoted, I'm gonna assume it's because they've lost their imagination or sense of childlike wonder or whatnot. But if you tell me it's because now she cares about nylons and lipstick, I'm gonna assume it's "she's had sex and now she's a ruined woman" type bullshit.

There's nothing wrong with that, though. CO2 tank, regulator, and a hose with a carbonating cap. It's a pretty common setup. There's really only two possible dangers with it. The first is the same way that any tank of pressurized gas is dangerous, in that if you somehow shear the valve assembly off it'll turn into a rocket. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEJGNLTo84&t=31s. The second is if you crack that tank wide open in an unventilated area you'll flood the area with CO2 and it'll pose a suffocation risk. If you avoid those two things there's no real risk outside of overpressurizing a plastic bottle, which will make your ears ring and soak everything in seltzer water. If you're worried about this, do it outside and wear hearing protection.

Bag Balm was originally intended for use on cow udders that had been irritated by milking, but it 's just a salve made of lanolin and vaseline so it got used for everything on humans as well. Sunburns, cracked hands, diaper rash, etc. The cow udder is the "bag" that it's named after, it's a balm for the cow's milk bag.

Local Weather posted:I'm pretty sure this is all just scammy garbage but there's always this little voice in my brain that says it's just because I don't understand it. Can someone reassure me that this is indeed nothing but scammy garbage? Here’s how NFTs work, roughly. I put a picture of something in an envelope. You pay me enough money to buy a car, and I burn a stack of old tires to needlessly pollute. After the tire burning ceremony is over I give you a piece of paper that says “Local Weather totally owns the picture in this envelope I have” and I publish a notice so everybody can see that you bought the contents of that envelope from me. You do not get the envelope. You do not get a say in what I do with the envelope. If I want to take the lovely animal picture that was originally in the envelope out and replace it with goatse, I can do that. If I want to just light it on fire, I can do that. You do not own the item. You own the receipt. Khizan has a new favorite as of 11:20 on Oct 8, 2021 |

Lunatic Sledge posted:Captain America also had some pretty good I've always put a a good bit of it down to mutants like Cyclops and Rogue, with powers that can and will hurt people accidentally. Just today, my nephew accidentally knocked my glasses off of my head with an errant swing of a nerf sword. Something similar happens to Cyclops and he could kill people. This adds an element of fear to mutants that doesn't exist with Cap and Iron Man. Sure, they're perfectly capable of hurting you but they have to actively do something to hurt you. Miss a shot in a fight, gently caress up with a science project, whatever. It still generally requires them to take an action that has a certain amount of danger to it. There's an element of "teenage mutant might accidentally create a tiny black hole in the grocery store while I'm getting milk and eggs" to mutants that doesn't really exist with Cap or Spiderman or the like.

My favorite Obama nickname was Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers. Also, here it is: Edgar Allen Ho posted:King Hussein Obama I, flanked by his bodyguards, stepped out of his blinged Limoscalade and marched up the gold-lined marble steps of Washington Palace. It should have been a glorious day, yet under his heavy yet exquisite crown of carved human fetus-ivory his brow was ridged deeply as he silently brooded. Still, his posse, boomboxes on their shoulders, dance-walked up the steps, chains and gats jangling over the din as they grabbed their crotches.

rodbeard posted:Mormon missions basically exist to try to trick foreign women to come to America to shore up their numbers. The charity work is only there to make it less obviously a trafficking operation. They barely even try to justify it if you watch a show like 90 Day Fiance. The first season involves a Mormon marrying a teenager he met when she was 12. It’s not that, really. They’re glad to get converts, sure, but that’s really just a side benefit of the mission trips. The main purpose of the Mormon mission is to condition their young. They’re sending their youngest adult members out into areas where they are utterly dependent on the church because they have nothing and don’t know anything or anybody, and they’re forcing them to spend the vast majority of their time trying to hard-sell their religion to outsiders who largely want nothing at all to do with them. The real end goal here isn’t a smattering of new converts, it’s teaching their missionaries that the world outside of the Mormon bubble is hostile and miserable, so that when they go back home they’ll be happy to fall in line and get to work tithing that 10% and popping out the next generation of missionaries. I also think it may have something to do with encouraging quick marriages when they get back, by isolating them from 18-20 and chaining them to a permanent companion with orders to tattletale if they try and have any fun. When they fall back into the bubble they’re probably so lonely and horny that they’re willing to dive right into marriage and get to work on that swarm of kids they’re expected to have.

I get a better shave with a new cartridge than I do with a new double-edge blade, but my average shave is better with the safety razor just because I change blades more frequently. Double-edge blades are cheap enough that I can use a new blade every other day and it's still cheaper than using one cartridge a month. And really, the only real difference between them to me is the time it takes to shave. Two passes with the cartridge, three passes with the safety razor. Well worth the tradeoff, imo.

Unperson_47 posted:I'm late to this party but does Peter Molyneux think that women are just walking around full of eggs they deplete like a countdown timer at an arcade machine waiting for a quarter The idea that women are born with all the eggs they will ever have is actually a reasonably defensible position. This was mainline scientific belief for many years and, tbh, it still sort of is. You can find it referenced in lots of places that would be considered credible sources, like the Cleveland Clinic or the University of Michigan's Rogel Cancer Center. It wasn't until like 2012 when a team of researchers found evidence that it might not be true, and IIRC that research has never been confirmed and it wasn't about humans to begin. I don't intend this to be a defense of Molyneux at all, he's still a creepy loving weirdo for walking around thinking about this poo poo. I just wanted to point out that "women are born with all the eggs they will ever have" isn't a crackpot idea. Khizan has a new favorite as of 01:58 on Oct 26, 2022 |
