This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.

Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you're a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.

Tarquin says it best, though much more humorously, here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html

By Rush's personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.

You don't beat such people with legacy.

This one doesn't even call her "Hawk Tuah girl".

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they're neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That's what causes the movement. If the weight didn't change there would be no movement.

From TFA “The pair of you came within the thickness of a pane of glass of irreparably damaging or even destroying this priceless treasure, and that must be reflected in the sentences I pass.”

Sooooo fucking close...

I invite you to touch an electric fence with a stick then.

I'm gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store...

I'm gonna copy my unedited response to this when someone posted this study as a Psypost link because I can't be arsed to change it and it's the exact same problem.

I like the overall lack of bullshit psypost articles on Lemmy and would like to keep it that way.

If you see a psypost article you should be suspicious.

If you see a psypost article about a paper with a conclusion that you agree with you should be extra suspicious.

EDIT: And now I’ve bothered to read the abstract of the paper and the first bit of the psypost article and they don’t say the same fucking thing.

The journal article is saying they identified brain regions associated with fundamentalism by looking at brain lesions. There may be a seemingly obvious connection to say that the brain lesions caused the fundamentalism, but I don’t see them actually say that after skimming the full text. They focus on what regions are associated with fundamentalism using lesions as a tool to find them.

The psypost article says in the first sentence the damage changes the likelihood of fundamentalism.

Apparently it's not just an American thing, but maybe other countries have more sense not to do it anymore.

They're usually in "high end" restaurants in big cities like Las Vegas. The ones I recall usually have the sinks somewhat separated from the stalls with a partition or turn, but they're not wholly separate rooms. The motivations are probably more needing money, access to a fancy place, and being an extrovert than perversion - more windshield wiper gig than peeping Tom.

I think it's a combination of a holdover from another time that maybe was useful when they had an expanded role - they probably actually used to keep the bathroom clean, and some guys will shine shoes etc. - and tip-based service jobs they gave to poor people. I think they do get an hourly rate, but it's probably below minimum wage for the same reasons waiting tables is.

Unfortunately the original article seems lost to time. https://www.badscience.net/2010/01/voices-of-the-ancients/

A gem from Matt Parker

Bathroom attendants - since people got all the high value stuff.

I don't mean people that clean the bathroom etc.

I mean the guy that stands at the sink and makes awkward small talk before handing you a towel you could have got yourself and expects a tip.

EDIT: Y'all I'm pretty sure no one's having sex or shooting up in the bathroom at the fucking Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas ... Coke - probably. I don't know where anyone else has seen a bathroom attendant, but every place I've seen one at I've been wearing a suit...

Cops can randomly look into people's houses. For example, if the blinds are up etc.

Because anyone can. It's not illegal.
