also if you want to be sciencey and technically correct, there are 3 daughters in the photo

i tried monjaro and garuda, seem to have had the best luck so far with pop_os out of the box. running an AMD ryzen 7 9800x3d and RTX 5070-- other distros apparently hated these things

if i was a business owner (which i never would be), in florida (which i also never would be), i would know to request that the interviewer leave that question out of the article, lest i add boycotts, vandalism, arson, death threats, etc to the money woes

look, if you insist on “people taking action” being exactly the same as “two or more countries engage in total war” then go ahead. you’re the only one who had a problem with the comment, so i’m not worried about it

it’s nations that do war. people take action. in this case, the people who took action failed to eliminate hitler. try clicking the link and know what you’re talking about before calling people dumb

or even by people taking action…

what a bunch of weak cowardly fucking babies

yea. for larger purchases it’s worth a trip to the library and ask them to see the consumer reports magazines for vacuums (or whatever you’re looking for). some libraries have them for in-house use only because they’re stolen so frequently

edit: just saw you’re in UK; no idea if the thievery applies to your libraries or not

seems like more than half the articles i click on anymore are shit-tier model garbage that was generated the instant i clicked the link

no proofreading, no editing, just instant word salad for the purpose of getting ad views

that’s a great question. but the answer doesn’t matter, because i’m not paying it.

I can see the cart abandonment rate

for the last several years every time i felt a craving for some food delivered, i’ve noped right out on the checkout screen with the final price with delivery fee and knowing that doesn’t include tip. not fucking worth it, i’ve got other things to eat

edit: the last time i did this, the delivery fee was ~$2.00. is $3.50 standard now? lol…no.

for kids i would agree, it makes sense that it’s better to have breakfast than not–their brains and bodies are actively under construction and need all the macros. but for the remaining 60+ years of life, there are studies supporting the notion that breakfast is optional: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-skipping-breakfast-bad#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2 all claims are cited

ultimately everyone should do what they want, but be skeptical of the “you must eat breakfast” claims bombarding everything everywhere, made by industries that have much to gain from everyone eating breakfast, and almost as much to lose from not everyone eating breakfast.

ultimately, every individual is responsible for what they choose to take as truth. this is why there has been such an aggressive assault on critical thinking in favor of “parental authority”-- just believe what you’re told and stop asking questions.

it’s not that hard to separate the plausible from the questionable, from the obvious bullshit.

as an example, dr. fauci is a doctor. he’s been a doctor for decades, has risen to high positions in the field, has been producing research, also for decades, which has been cited by other experts in the field frequently. and, prior to bullshit claims by trump and the entire GOP, was never the subject of any controversy.

so the discerning mind has no trouble concluding that it’s reasonable to assume that fauci, who knows what he’s talking about and has no apparent reason to mislead the entire world, is a credible source of information, while trump, a notorious conman who told 30,000 verifiable lies in his first term alone is absolutely NOT. so the GOP preaches “vaccines are bad,” and the “patriotic” american says “vaccines are bad”

yes it’s fucking mind-bogglingly stupid, but the problem isn’t a lack of availability of information, the problem is information literacy–the skill (yes skill) to separate truth (even if only “likely” truth) from fiction (even if comically obviously fiction). which the GOP is actively, deliberately, visciously undermining, while no one says a thing, because we’re preoccupied by nazi gestapo trump cultists rounding up innocent citizens because they’re brown

“breakfast is the most important meal of the day!”

tl;dr: it’s fucking not.

related: you’re not going to 100% die (or even get sick. yes really) if you skip a meal (or even 2), fatass.

edit: i have to add another thing

diamond engagement rings are absolute 100% bullshit, which, as a genXer, i only learned later in life. i wouldn’t be adding this if there weren’t still way too many people who are completely bamboozled by this fake “tradition” invented solely to make obscenely wealthy people even more obscenely wealthy.

you do you. enjoy your convenience. for my part, i will continue to spend $0.00 for the privilege of being the product.

all of these brands can take their smart devices and go fuck themselves with it. “convenient” GTFO

edit: it’s incredible to me, that people put as much trust as they do in the entire world

ok. tell me your account and routing numbers

“ok. tell me your account and routing numbers then”

it doesn’t take much critical thinking to conclude that smart tvs are bullshit, but apparently too much for most people

i want to go back to the time when durst was the biggest douche on the planet
