Yeah, I didn’t ask or say anything political. I was just baffled and nervously chuckling that apparently fishslaughter in broad daylight was seen as a “New York thing”.

That eel story just sounds grisly. If I saw someone murk a wild animal that large by hand, even one intended for a meal, on the street in broad daylight, I’d probably audibly mutter “wtf”

Yeah, I might have to delete Twitter just to get away from political ads.

I subscribed to YouTube premium specifically to avoid political adverts while still supporting content creators (political adverts are even more repetitive and uncreative than commercials, in my mind), and I actively avoid any room my parents are in when they’re watching any TV at all during campaign season.

I’ll get my info on how to vote by actually looking up the candidates’ actions on databases, thanks.

Silly question, but if Acclaim is gone, who has the rights to this franchise to authorize a remaster? I don’t think I was ever taught what happens when a corporation dies.

I’m rather out of the loop on Ayn Rand and her philosophy. What even is objectivism? What was Atlas Shrugged trying to preach, and does it align with modern principles?

I’m out of the loop, but I’m too afraid to ask about the person being referred to in the sign.

Edit: decided to Google it. They’re from Atlas Shrugged.

Is the Irish Sun owned by the same guys as the British version of The Sun? If so, I probably would look for other sources entirely. Preferably far, far away from the “games journalism” sphere.

As a Christian who actually paid a lick of attention to what the Bible claims Jesus said, I agree.

In case anyone isn’t aware of the actual reason we die when we get overheated enough:

At the point where that happens, some of our bodily enzymes would stop working, meaning some of the tiny processes that keep us alive would no longer be possible.

Stay hydrated, friendos

Also, we can and do eat some mild poisons because they’re tasty somehow.

I have a love of chocolate, but smaller animals can’t eat as much without severe metabolic issues that might kill them.

And capsaicin is straight-up an anti-mammal deterrent. Birds might be able to eat it with no reaction at all. Meanwhile humans just deal with their temperature receptors being freaking hacked for seemingly no other reason than fun.

I’m 25, and have my own income and tax filing, but I live with my parents and help out as needed when I’m not at work. I’m kinda tempted to just inherit the house someday.

Gonna be honest, this is the post that caused me to learn (via dictionary definition/Wikipedia) that I’ve probably been using the word “debriefing” wrong (I assumed debriefing referred to something like aftercare, but in a military/espionage context),

Probably not at all what you were expecting to accomplish with this post, but thanks much regardless.
