Also, the “more cars” on the photo (or even the “just as many cars” thing) doesn’t necessarily mean worse (or better): Solely focusing on actively generated pollution, I would pick 3 EVs over 1 intcomb car. Adding the pollution caused by manufacturing them and their batteries definitely changes the equation, and I’m not an expert enough to say which is better or worse, but the posted image just focuses a bit too much on the sheer numbers of vehicles.

“Drive to a library” - After all those decades reading about US stuff, it still baffles me how many things we take here for granted in Europe. I don’t bat an eye when people measure distances in hours, I’m completely aware of the vast distances and the reliance on cars, and I still get surprised whenever I read about another mundane thing that’s not just easily accessible by walking (or taking short range public transport) in the states.

151·2 days agoI was born back when a medium older than this was still in use, but I still had to come here for ZeroGravitas’s reply, because all I saw was this circular bit and maybe (but probably not) the rim of a microwave glass plate. I wouldn’t have known it’s a DVD case otherwise.
UPDATE: Aaaaaand I just saw the post’s description. Obviously it’s obvious now.
you just pull them out to use them and think nothing of it
And then I push it back in once I’m leaving, hey!
I’m not sure if it’s me not getting the point, but… If they are going to abandon that account anyway, what does it matter if that accounts gets banned from whatever?
Well, either case… I still don’t see why it’s necessary to delete the account by anyone/anything, regardless.
I mean, yeah… But if you do that, and next time you spam with a different account anyway, then why would you add an extra step of deleting a 30min old account anyway?
I was so confused my why went both ways. This answered one of the ways, however, I don’t get why you need to remove your account after posting. What’s the point?
You can say Brutain on the internet.

I only eat bread from Ötzi’s stomach.
Haha, suddenly it makes more sense. Thanks, I don’t know why I never considered that.

22·10 days agoAt this point I don’t even get the usage of the term ‘turn’, let alone ‘sharp’. It seems to be going in the same direction for a while now. It’s been far right for the past Jesusiamgettingold years.
Maybe it’s just me, but inconclusive results are still results, and get you a tiny step closer to the solution by redirecting you in a different direction.
That image compression is crazy.
Back around 2010, my girlfriend of the time ended up on someone’s page detailing how to pick up girls, and shortly prompting readers to buy their pheromone based product (obvious scam, but that’s not the point now). She got super upset. Outraged, even. She went on a rant about how she’s not a fucking moth that can just be lured by silly simple stuff like that.
About a year later we took part in a competition where two attendees (2 girls, maybe a year or two younger) were desperately looking for accommodation. One of our rooms was empty that day, so we offered that to them with another flatmate (my GF wasn’t around that day).
When she had heard about the whole thing, she got rather jealous. Didn’t matter how much I explained it to her that I am boringly faithful, that I only love her and I didn’t care about the girls romantically, or that I have always been like this: in her mind, if a guy is “alone” with 2 girls for the night (daytime is fine, but mystically, horny zombification happens at full moon), he will be as easy to seduce as it gets, not matter what (like any of those two girls wanted anything, anyway).
Am I a fucking moth, then? It goes both ways.














You look just like your parents!
