Whoa o black Betty

The number of “reusable” bags I now encounter in the environment that contain way more plastic than the disposable ones (and can’t be used as garbage bags so now other disposable bags are created/used instead) makes me really skeptical banning plastic bags helps at all

I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I’d like doesn’t exist (I’m not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can’t. How much do all the ads I’m blocking cost? It’d be ripe for abuse but I’d essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Anyone notice how the thumbnails for each row are essentially the same, even with their order?

Yes I’m also the same way with ads. I’d happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an “ad surcharge” that would mean I’d never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

Where else can you store them while swimming?

Eh, maybe improbable without help, but I was hand-sewing clothing for my stuffed animals around 7 years old with no assistance so it’s not crazy to think a kid ahead of the curve could do it at 5

But some of us are pretty big peninsulas

Same here. I was able to tap the sliver of a button successfully at least

I will anecdotally observe anal sex, oral sex, and facials have gone up between partners as prevalence in porn has gone up. That suggests but does not prove a direct statistical harm caused by even "ethically produced CSAM

Can we look at trends between consenting adults (who are likely watching porn of real people by the way) as an indicator of what pedophiles will do? I’m not so sure. It’s not like step sibling sex is suddenly through the roof now with it being the “trend” in porn.

Looking specifically at fake rape porn maybe and seeing if it increases rates of rape in the real world might be a better indicator.

It’s apparently an audible “pop” which is kinda crazy.

Before dogs evolved, it was called dino-style

I’d argue they risk losing users who post links to their videos online. It’s likely the same group who tend to use ad blockers are also the ones more likely to link a video online, so YouTube would miss out on all the non-adblock users clicking links and watching the videos that way.

Make sure things are good and cold first, then just send into an orbit around the sun that’s at a Lagrange point far enough out to stay cool.

The dark side of the moon still gets just as much light as the other side so not sure why you mentioned that one, but you’re right it can be hard to get rid of heat in space if you’re producing it.

Well one of them has both eyes open and a large brain to process all they see.

The other just has a big belly button on their head, because they are naval gazing/pondering everything.

It’s pretty obvious

That’s why you gotta put the capsules in space

Probably why this scam works so well. It’s like how the bad spelling etc in phishing helps to weed out the less susceptible people so they don’t waste their time.

If you’re already falling for the Musk bullshit, then you’re a prime target.

I think that’s just from many years of rust and wear. I doubt that’s the original surface finish

An escape pod would need some thrusters, a heat shield, and parachute at bare minimum. Thrusters to cause reentry, heat shield to bleed off most of the energy while zipping through the upper atmosphere, and parachute once sufficiently slow and low enough.
