I will say I think my mom gets it. She used to smoke for nausea and sleep, and one day it just didnt help. Found out it was making things worse rather than better, and once she stopped it was gone. Hasn’t felt the desire to touch it since.

Don’t get me wrong, this is likely being way overblown, and I’m a daily dabber myself so I dont want to come across like I support the fear-mongering, but I have seen evidence myself of at least its existence. Might be a misdiagnosis even, but nothing else changed and things improved for her. Not sure how common it is, or how severe it typically is, but to me it’s an accepted risk like skin cancer and sunlight. I’ll cross that bridge if it comes and deal with it appropriately, but I’m not hiding inside out of fear.

Oh shit i never realized brunette witch was Kathy Najimy

The delivery of “in Thy mercy” sends me every time

95* meetings

Bruh just give me my cube of bland, it doesn’t need to be a wolf-shaped, metal-tread-packaged, Xtreme-Howl-scented monstrosity.

Just had this experience with some .png files I downloaded. Apparently Chrome, which i used on my work computer to get some game files, downloads images in .webp by default. Even if specifically saved as other formats. Game wouldn’t recognize my pngs until I changed them back to .webp like you described, opened them in PS, and exported as .png. The filetype does some funky stuff

I’m a drummer, so mine is usually just finger-drumming to whatever is stuck in my head at the moment. But when I do use an object, spinning a pencil/pen or bic lighter around the thumb will keep me busy for hours

It’s the same as tomato being taxonomically a fruit. Taxonomically does not mean culinarily. Most people use culinary terms for these. Tomato is a vegetable. The first berry group is berries. Etc.

W-what?? It’s n-not like I think he’s sexy or anything! Baka!

Nah, im just saying, someone (fictional) made a cat into a humanoid with washboard abs and a toned physique that would be the envy of many and said “yeah, not only is this cat a solid 10 but your garden variety cat is better than a 3, that’s almost halfway there baybee”

Nothing against furries or anything, just saying the bar needs to be higher. Please.

I’m sorry, only 200%? You mean to say the original (plain old) cat was already 1/3 of the way to however sexy this one is?

By their own definitions every single one of those people is going straight downstairs

Leveraging one of their biggest recruitment tools as additional propaganda? Say it isn’t so. Well luckily, it’s not like CoD is actually on the government payroll, so of course a cease and desist will be following shortly… right?

Pretty standard, really

Saw them at a tiny hole in the wall pub nearby known for underground shows with surprisingly big headliners (Slipknot stopped by on a whim a couple years ago, $9 tickets for the lucky fuckers who heard in time). Outdoor show, standing room only, but such an intimate venue that the people in the back were still only like 60ft from the band. I showed up early, saw the whole show from 10ft away. Absolutely magical, bought 3 albums at the table.

The negativity around AI is hurting society

Ngl when I first saw the image I thought it was a Dr Disrespect and Saddam Hussein mashup

I think they meant that the people saying #2 are rarely the people saying #3, and vice versa. But it’s very easy to see them all as a giant, contradictory monolith when you are exposed to millions of people, which is what I think the comic is falling into.

Imagine being more confident that cancer will be cured than the US going to war. That is some optimism I truly envy

Happy new year, bud. Oh, and also OP.
