Trump says RFK Jr. plan to remove fluoride from public water 'sounds okay to me'
  • I mean, he's probably gonna say "Yeah, sure, whatever" to most things the crazy people around him propose.

  • Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands
  • In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

  • A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms
  • I've always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn't an accurate descriptor, and a "pro-life protest", or a "pro-life bill" seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

    Anti-choice is good too.

  • have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?
  • Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather 'fancy' office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

  • come on be honest
  • I think so, yeah.

  • come on be honest
  • Well, I heard Alex Jones was super buff once upon a time, so I wanted to see. When I saw, I kinda wanted to show some friends who'd probably find it funny. And then we arrived here.

  • come on be honest
  • Young, buff Alex Jones

    I can explain...

  • This picture flips upside down when I open it in Sync.
  • Looks fine and upright in Thunder.

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds
  • They're pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.

    People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.

  • Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds
  • Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn't very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

    Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

  • Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be 'full of shit' in a recent incident.

  • Boing Boing Boing
  • Meh, I told myself I'd do it if I ever get disturbed by a call that isn't important or interesting. Hasn't happened yet.

  • Squadron 42 Receives a 2026 Release Date, Will Have 30-40 Hours of Gameplay
  • I've also got the cheapest possible pledge. Played the game with friends a bunch, was a lot of fun when it worked.

    Honestly, I feel like I got my money's worth. If it comes out, nice, if it doesn't, oh well.

  • A failed mic leaves Donald Trump pacing the stage in silence for nearly 20 minutes
  • As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don't need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.

  • Americans when they visit Germany the first time
  • You don't. Autobahnen usually exist between cities, and are separate from other types of traffic. Your vehicle also needs to meet a minimum speed requirement to be allowed on. When an Autobahn runs through a city, there's usually a grade separation.

  • How to turn down lunch with a fascist
  • Or it's just the way they pronounce it, and want to give their cursing a bit of flavour.

  • Anon has a back injury
  • Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

  • What were you wrong about for a long time? How did you realize you were wrong?
  • It might be just because I'm relatively middle of the road bisexual, but I always liked the idea that most people aren't quite on the extreme ends of the Kinsey scale, but like, a tiny bit bi at least.

    I am definitely thankful for having a family that was very open about everything, and didn't mind either way, though I do feel that the years spent not wanting to engage with the thought partially came down to pressure from peers, as anything other than heterosexuality seemed to be seen as alien back then. From what I hear from my brother, that actually changed a lot compared to when I was in school, and things are a lot more accepting now.

  • What are you in for?
  • I'd take it as a reference to the stupid "What is a woman?" craze. Would assume the person shown is trans, or an ally.
