neptune,

So how do I update Jerboa is the play store doesn’t have the latest? Uninstall and reinstall did not solve the issue for me.

neptune,

I use mine to work on my novella at starbucks

neptune,

Can you be more specific?

neptune,

Learn about one religion and you may become faithful. Learn about many and you may become an atheist.

There’s some truth and some idiocy behind this meme. Just because, for example, the US political system tends toward a two party system, does not mean you can always or always not find some amount of truth or good ideas based on what two parties tell you. In fact, the framing is irrelevant toward truth, and is even it’s own type of bias. There are certainly some third rails neither side of a debate will touch, or some things both find the need to lie about. But in some cases someone is sort of right about something and sometimes people are just wrong.

There are three things that every Greek woman must do in life: marry Greek boys, make Greek babies, and feed everyone blue foods.

Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?

Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...

neptune,

Yep. It’s the wild west for a new industry.

neptune,

I think mustard is a folk remedy for gas. And not the store bought condiment, that usually makes me fart, but rather mustard powder as used in Indian cuisine.

neptune,

I think science is ready to bring us the turbo encabulator in 2024

How will we ever get away from plastics when they are ubiquitous for safety

Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...

neptune,

It turns out that industry has more lobbyists than consumers.

Gear isn’t the whole story. My running shoes are safe but a slip or getting hit by a car are always a risk. In the photo, the risk isn’t necessarily the equipment: it’s human error or the unpredictability of nature.

neptune,

While this is a fair point, it isn’t the decisive argument. Do people ever starve to death in a fantasy world? Well many classes can cast goodberry so no one should have to starve in a fantasy world.

neptune,

I’m not sure the commenter disagrees with you. If a player wants their character to have a wheelchair, they are simply “saying” that some people have wheel chairs.

I had to go look up diegetic essential ism and basically the idea is that people get too hung up on the literalness of a character in a wheelchair.

What does it say about the universe that elephants can jump ten feet vertically? What does it say about the DM if they rule against this “fact” of DND?

neptune,

Capitalism is basically the story of money being allowed to influence everything.

Yes, I think universities as a business has gotten steadily worse in the US.

neptune,

It’s the shorter day, akshually

neptune,

The only times I ever deliver is when I cannot pick up. At work? Playing dnd? Then the delivery fee is almost worth it.

Otherwise we eat a frozen pizza or pick the food up ourselves.

neptune,

The church did frown upon it at the time, if I recall. For example, Newton spent years on alchemy yet that’s forgotten

Who's winning the war in Ukraine?

The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large...

neptune,

The media won’t give you “an answer”. Is a war like a board game where everyone can see the pieces and count the score according to the rules? What is Russia objective? Idk. Are they meeting it? Sure, to some degree. At what cost? We’ll we only have a small sense of the costs.

Is Ukraine “winning”? Well they have lost so much but not everything. Are they meeting their objectives? We’ll their state didn’t fall. That’s good.

And you just want some OP ED at NYT to just sum it up like it’s a football game?

neptune,

If you were a professional musician your opinion might be different?

neptune,

Ok

neptune,

Surpass, likely not. Yet make the career no longer financially viable?

neptune,

Wake me up when we are posting Hyperdrive memes

neptune,

It’s short for gasoline, which is the term for refined petroleum.

neptune,

Consequences aren’t the only thing that cause people to act they way they act. It’s certainly one reason some people don’t do certain things.

One reason Homelander is the way he is is because how he was raised. If tomorrow I got all Homelander’s powers, I wouldn’t instantly become a psychopath. I mean it might occur to me that any action I might take, and no one could stop me or punish me. But as Homelander observed (at least in the prior season, I’m not entirely caught up) that alienation from his fellow supers is actually a consequence he deals with.

neptune,

This is exactly what happens in The Boys too

Spoilers for the first few seasons: the righteous non supers find drugs to give themselves superheroes so they can battle the corrupt super heroes. Yes, this cheat code to power begins to corrupt them too.

Further, the super hero Council and corporation works hard to replace the roles the military covers. They then become an unaccountable shadow agency that the people want to keep doing the work of the government… But then democracy is slipping away.

neptune,

Oh OK, hubris of the jedi over here

neptune,

If in 1800s Europe Marx lived a “bohemian” lifestyle, it makes me wonder why that word means what it means. Are they calling him avante garde and possibly lazy, as compared to stereotypes of the Roma people?

neptune,

What town did they match you with?

neptune,

Yes, wild yeast and spontaneous fermentation are things in the beer and wine world. Yes her beer is possible. Also it will be possibly very bad. Or fine.

You could totally make a sourdough by rubbing your butt cheeks in the starter every day and I don’t think your friends would notice.

Its funny, because 200 years ago there were no commercial good products. To make beer you basically had to let it sit out for a couple days until enough wild yeast colonized your food. This is also true of kimchi, saurkraut and a bunch of other ancient foods.

neptune,

Even still, weren’t their dozens of people shoveling gravel and only a couple of vice presidents? The pyramid structure of corporations imply that not everyone can go from the entry level work to the c suite. It’s an attrition and numbers game.

Plus, most companies now outsource their grunt work. The janitor cannot become the CEO anymore, because the janitor is a contracted worker, making minimum wage, not invited to the Christmas party, and prevented from speaking to anybody in a position of authority.

neptune,

China is still a few years behind

neptune,

Boss just wants everyone to take a big deep breath (and pray?) before making a big decision

neptune,

It’s become a meme where a poor soul wants some thing, and the kid pops out of the well with a trite rebuttal.

In this case, the trite rebuttal is a cartoon about technological standards.

neptune,

I want to make a movie about the smoothie shop that was robbed by high school students outside of Washington DC.

If you are here to steal ideas, I’ll consider that as a win. I don’t need millions of dollars. I know this is rich material for a heist movie.

neptune,

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of “melts”. Almost every “grilled cheese” sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called “grilledcheese” is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It’s called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don’t know what the hell you’d call that but it’s not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I’ve eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled “melts” because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I’m not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I’ve seen post after post of peoples “grilled cheeses” all over reddit and it’s been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

neptune,

It’s a copy paste from reddit and I didn’t feel like editing the glory

neptune,

It’s a place where subs can gossip about their doms

neptune,

Yes. I have some albums gifted to me by my grandmother. I have my wedding photo book. And we also have some instax polaroid albums we have been making.

Then again, I also have some tintype portraits of us as well. I guess I like physical photos.

neptune,

Now you’re telling me I have to know French too???

Let's talk travel/insulated mugs.

So can we talk mugs? I tend to make a half liter (~17 oz) of coffee in a French Press in the morning. I run into the problem that I get about a half hour to 45 minutes (I’ve never timed it this number might be wildly off) in before the, “Crap! Its getting cold!” moment and feel like I have to accelerate my consumption to...

neptune,

I hate being a yeti fan boy, but I got a big ole thermos at work made by yeti and yeah you can absolutely fill it with hot coffee, or fill it with water and pop it in the fridge, whatever, and you’ll have a great drink hours later.

Inside me there are two wolves; One is a quasi-alcoholic slob with a home office, while the other is an overpaid and demotivated IT "professional" who hates his employer.

First thing I did upon starting my work day was to open a beer. Just one out of two purchased for the occasion of yesterday being payday. I then proceeded to skim through my inbox and appointments for the day, concluding that beyond migrating this one production system over to the new VPN there’s not going to be a whole lot...

neptune,

So obviously you’ll need to find your motivation elsewhere. Maybe get new education/certifications to get a more challenging job? Or enjoy what you have and use that spare time to develop new hobbies?

neptune,

I’m not talking about a restart. Get a few more things on your resume to find a more challenging version of your job at a less shit employer.

Need some (kinda dirty joke) names for my mead. Any ideas?

Designing some custom labels for when I start bottling before Christmas, so I finally have to get around to coming up with names. The cherry has had its name since before I even started it, as well as a tagline and description. So cherry is set. Need to come up with something along the same lines for the blueberry and the mixed...

neptune,

Jingle Ball Berry, Now with More Cherry ™️

neptune,

They’d probably search the database for anyone wanted of your name/description. And when it came back blank they’d probably leave you in a room for a few hours to see if anything happens. And then let you go.
