My whole childhood the Gates was touted as this super altruistic, good rich person who was all about charity. It was only after I found out about the whole Oxford vaccine thing (indenting my aside/rant)

Gate's urged Oxford to exclusively allow AstraZeneca the rights to their vaccine "rather than sticking to the university’s own guidance that any deal it makes include non-exclusive and royalty-free licensing", a deal with no guarantee of accessibility or affordability. Given that the vast majority of the funding of this vaccine was public funds...fuck that.

that I found out that the Foundation was always just a way to rehabilitate an image of ruthlessness I never knew he had. I guess it worked, given how he was discussed when I was growing up, but hopefully he won't be able to do it again.

I went from 6 to the 7 Pro which I'm still rocking, even as it starts to crave the abyss. I just...really like not having a forward facing camera unless I summon it.

My husband's fun fact is that apparently they're bodies are hydrodynamic backwards because to swim they sweep their tail up in front of them. So it's better for them to be hydrodynamic in that direction.

My husband's work in R&D often involves him looking to nature to find ways to improve the efficiency of designs and materials. Evolution has done a lot of trial and error that often results in the most efficient way to deal with a problem, so giving a look to natural adaptions seems like a smart move.

And that's why everything that we've designed to solve a problem in our house is a crab.

Yeah, the meme itself made me laugh out loud, but I almost didn't save it because the word "bootyhole" gives me the creeps...

(Not to judge OP, or anyone who uses the word, this is a me problem)

It's interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I've seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.

Although, I'd love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn't feel as unproductive if the videos are educational...

Thank you for explaining! I'm almost impressed by how thoroughly I missed the joke.

Oh my god, I'm such a fucking idiot! Thank you for you patience and sorry for being so slow!

But how does the ex come in to it? Did they sign them up spam?

Could someone explain this to me? Are these gift cards?

I feel like the comparisons of chickens from the 1950s to those today really highlight this

I swear I blinked and suddenly AI was so ubiquitous that I feel like I'm living, studying and writing incorrectly...
