Hearing “don’t talk to strangers online” from people who post their SSN on Facebook.

I’m gonna take this as good news and not get involved in some tribal dick-shooting.

They ain’t worth the resources they drain because people keep giving them huge incentives. In Virginia for example they don’t even pay sales tax, pocketing $1.6 billion a year.

accidentally using extremist terminology

That’s similar to how I learned about Reddit’s stance on punching Nazis.

This is just kind of how all software is; operating systems, video games, whatever. It’s going to be shit for a while after launching. Sometimes it becomes less shit as it matures.

Steam Workshop is more of a player-level storefront.

I’m surprised the 49ers haven’t already built a data center right next to their stadium.

The pickles are out there.

The noses on emojis didn’t make the cut. :-)

CLANG CLANG WOOSH

Yeah, I’d be pissed too if I had to watch an armored up fatroller die over and over.

You seem to be talking about SpaceX, but I gotta point out that with the fast-track it’s not just the retail investors holding the bag. It’s anyone with a retirement fund.

If I’m dealing with text, it’s a directory. If I’m clicking around, it’s a folder.

taxing inheritence and transfer of assets

Wouldn’t happen in CA. As blue as they seem, prop 13 makes them basically a feudal society with actual landed gentry. I’m not making that up.

Bro, didn’t you know solar panels get hot when in the sun? Global warming!!

Clearly everyone should run a diesel generator in their living room just to be safe.

They just take old Switch articles and swap out the names.

What lawyerspeak TOS bullshit are they going to cite as a way to avoid refunds and lawsuits?

I dunno, man. I’ve blown $200 on worse things.

Like with most new drugs it’s something to keep an eye on, though I would be weary of using a source with such a significant financial bias.

I’m not sure where you read that, but as far as I know it doesn’t cause people to starve themselves. It suppresses hunger so they eat a normal amount of food in an era where calorie-dense, hyperpalatable food is the norm.

Diet and exercise is the gold standard, but some people just can’t regulate their diet for whatever reason. Be it discipline or genetics. Ultimately though it doesn’t matter because the bottom line is a staggering amount of people are at an unhealthy weight.

Being overweight is so bad for your health that known side effects of a drug like ozempic are negligible in comparison. The ones we know about, anyway.

I agree, but if we look at the CDC: Percent of adults age 20 and older with overweight, including obesity: 72.4% (August 2021-August 2023)

72 point freakin’ 4 percent.

With numbers like that, obesity is more like an epedemic and ozempic is a potential treatment.
