Fwiw, apps like Boost don’t even show avatars (unless you tap through to the profile)

They burn it?? Balloon sinuplasty kinda squishes it back down or something but I haven’t heard about the burning procedure, eek

I assume the post is describing a 20 mph school zone because then yes, perfect thanks

If they’re matching the pace of the car ahead, explain the offense.

This is a common problem when studios want a seasoned non-white actor: they find out they haven’t seasoned any. If you fail to cast minority talent in small roles through the years, you end up with only white actors with the chops for big roles.

Thank you, I was struggling to remember where I (and the cartoonist I guess?) had originally heard this joke.

I’m not sure it’s a meme yet…right now it might be more of an obscure reference? Seems like people don’t recognize the photo, and out of context it isn’t obvious what it should add to the text. I am curious about the context, though…like…maybe this will become a meme and we’ll start seeing it a lot? What’s the deal with the picture? Are they celebrities?

It sounds like your group wouldn’t readily welcome a member who wasn’t an intelligent, rational individual. I wonder, if a current member experienced a crisis that led them to a kind of blind, irrational faith, would they still be equally welcome?

You’re right that it’s wrong, but ostracism doesn’t strike me as something that can be outlawed—not just because it’s one of our fundamental primitive social behaviors, but because of logistics. I’m curious how you envision it working? That is, you could probably forbid a church from declaring excommunication in a formal fashion, but could you actually stop its members from shunning someone? It would raise a lot more questions, like what if one member of the church is revealed to have abused another? Does the church still have to welcome them back?

I can just see people trying this for the first time, knocking the foil out of alignment and pouring a whole pan of hot grease down the drain

I don’t know that the high prevalence of RGB items on the market necessarily reflects a love for it. I think it just means it’s cheap to produce and can be marketed as an extra feature.

There’s a wide distance between supervising a young child responsibly (which obviously must be done at all times) and engaging in play (which you should do when you can and you’ll be glad you did, but if you just don’t have it in you, it’s not a crime to sit quietly for a few minutes).

You’re not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.

Wtf is “redneck agenda,” the farmers almanac?

This is an extremely common thing to hear from a teacher the day after they return from an absence, indicating that your class’s behavior drove the poor substitute to leave the teacher a note so searing that it will go down in school history. Punishment follows.

The highlighted section of that link reads as follows:

The research found that putting the toilet lid down reduced the number of both visible and smaller droplets during and after flushing by 30-60%. However, use of the lid also increased the diameter and concentration of the bacteria in these droplets.

The article doesn’t indicate whether the total bacteria contained in the now larger and more concentrated droplets is thought to be comparable to that contained in the full spray of open-lid droplets, which means a precise comparison isn’t available, so technically I guess it could go either way. However, common sense tells us that many of those microorganisms will either get stuck to the underside of the lid or fall back into the water, so it seems nearly impossible that closed-lid flushing could spray 100% of the microorganisms that open-lid flushing does, right? So if the best (seemingly unlikely) scenario for open-lid flushing is that maybe it only sprays the exact same number of farticles into the air, then what’s the appeal?
