Where is the line between “on Earth” and not? If you’re orbiting the planet does that still count? Do you have to be below a certain altitude? Certainly flying in an airplane isn’t enough to qualify as having left Earth. Is it leaving the earth’s atmosphere? Is that even something with a precise enough definition?

I guess what I’m saying is we should exile Elon to Mars and then start the timer.

There’s always an implied “them” hiding the conspiracy as well. It’s just a couple of short steps from flat earth to “jews will not replace us”.

Coinciding (by happenstance no doubt) with the fall of monarchies.

What do you think “immunity” means in this context?

You don’t get immunity for legal acts. The supreme court didn’t just rule that legal acts committed by a president cannot be prosecuted. That would be fucking stupid. Legal acts done by anyone can’t be prosecuted ever. That’s what it means to be “legal”. Immunity applies to illegal acts.

Everyone loves a buffet!

The quote says “major complications” and defines what that means. It’s not just side effects. It is definitely surprising that the rate of complications is so much higher for the pills. Still, I think that’s something a doctor should take into account when prescribing and not a valid reason to ban it.

I love the way Fallout 2 (maybe also 1, it’s been forever and I can’t recall) changes your dialogue options if you have low intelligence. It’s like a whole other game.

I read it as Dad told the cop why he was going so fast, and cop thought it was funny and decided to help him win. Not totally unrealistic; cops get bored and hate paperwork, and love breaking the law.

It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.

This is the world feminists want. Dude is happy, bear is happy, lady is hiking without being attacked.

What percentage of women do you suppose have had a man threaten to rape or kill them? Get violently angry at them? Sexually assault them or a friend? I reckon it’s near 100%.

The fear isn’t that all men will assault them, it’s that any man might. It’s not irrational, it’s based on experience. There are men in this thread arguing that women should be arming themselves to stay safe, right alongside men arguing that fear is irrational.

Fuck the men with hurt feelings. Your fellow men have proved themselves dangerous, time and again. Women will treat you like dangerous predators until men as a group start policing their own and building a world where women don’t have reason to fear.

Is your definition of fascism essentially anti-democracy? Or military aggression/ colonialism? Honestly asking, because I’m not seeing what I’d consider hallmarks of fascism in your description.

If both trout and sharks are fish, then so are whales. Mammals are more closely related to trout than trout are to sharks.

Oh dear, he doesn’t know that humans can’t reproduce through mitosis yet. Ask your mom about it honey.

Are you disagreeing with the thesis of the comment above, or just critiquing the quality of their data?

If you disagree with the thesis, can you explain what your position is?

Easy, that’s just nRT/P, assuming the pineapple is an ideal gas.

Unironically, language dictates how we think.

Not all women get assaulted. Almost all of us who date men have had an experience where we were legitimately afraid we were about to be assaulted, though. The comic is saying most women have fucked up stories about dating men. Don’t ask if you don’t want to hear them.
