Generally when I choose to do something, I have the hope that it will turn out well. Although I’m aware that it might not and I’m prepared to deal with that possibility, if I knew with certainty from the start that what I was considering doing would not turn out well then I would not choose to do it.

According to gay people I’ve talked to who tried to adopt but ended up paying a surrogate, adopting a healthy baby is very difficult. Children available for adoption are generally older and/or have serious health problems.

Yeah, although I admit that I thought biotech was the most interesting and important thing I wanted to do back when I chose it over 20 years ago, but knowing what I do now, I wish I had gone into machine learning instead.

But people actually do do this, if for some reason a PC is overheating or the built-in fans are making too much noise. A big fan running slowly moves more air more quietly than a bunch of little fans. I even wired an external DC fan into the PC’s power supply once so that I wouldn’t have to plug them in separately.

Justice League (the cartoon series). A must-watch for any superhero fan.

The President is merely acting according to his nature - the ultimate explanation of why he is doing this is that the American public chose to trust the sort of man that he is. Challenging the fox’s motives after he has been voted back into the henhouse is a waste of words.

Well, there was that thing with Nord Stream. I’m not saying that Orban isn’t making this up but it isn’t totally implausible.

It bothers me so much when people get distracted but don’t pause the movie. Sometimes they go to the bathroom and tell me not to pause it and I don’t care, I’m pausing it anyway! They’re going to watch it all whether they want to or not.

Online dating back when it was something normal people were embarrassed to do.

I don’t think it was strange for them to offer that shirt for sale, especially since they seem to have a print-on-demand system which does not involve any overhead for having an additional design. Offering the shirt is IMO less awkward that trying to pretend that Nazi Germany never existed.

The shirt itself:

I’m not sure why anyone would want one except to be an edgelord but there’s nothing obviously offensive on it.

That that’s not what “I don’t have the time” means, so the OP should not be surprised that explaining is often necessary.

(It’s a lot easier to say “I can’t” than “I choose not to” but then being self-righteous after people catch on is just going to make you look worse.)

Well then, since you’ve seen the movie yourself rather than baselessly speculating like the rest of us, what can you say about its appeal to its target audience?

But White Wolf VtM vampires aren’t.

Ah yes, vampires, those symbols of liberalism.

It’s possible that the kind of people who would choose to watch this movie actually do like it.

So if you know at least 30 people and none of them have ever been struck by lightning, that means you’re a giraffe.

It’s amazing. I use it as part of my work as a software developer, I get good advice from it regarding my personal life, and I can talk to it about topics that interest me but don’t interest my friends. Everything is great right now but I’m genuinely worried about the near future, when it might be able to do the entirety of my job better than I can. At least I got this far - I wonder whether my friends’ kids who were born recently will live in a future where they’ll never be capable of contributing anything valuable.

I think the opposite is going to be true. One thing I noticed when I moved recently is that’s it’s getting cheaper to throw out perfectly good stuff and then buy it again rather than paying to have it shipped long distance too.

So a 10 is a thousand times hotter than a 7? And a 1 is a million times less hot?
