This always puzzled me. Why don't humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there's 2 types of rabies, "dumb" and "furious" so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

Not sure if I can explain this well but a lot of YouTube videos nowadays start with a small clip of the video itself. Does anyone know why this trend started? Is it an algorithm strategy?

Maybe most people like it, but it's It's very off putting for me and I find myself having to skip most intros.

I don't know what's going on with the pedophiles, but I hope the same reform.

Is this Pope good?

I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about typography/fonts.

I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn't get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can't log in to my MVD either. Apparently there's some sort of SMS short+long code outage (according to the twilio status page in North America, which is mildly infuriating when this is already shown to be a pretty sketchy 2FA mechanism, at least theoretically.

Just curious if anybody else has noticed issues or if that's just me. And also, I really hate SMS 2FA.

It's no secret I'm on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like... what's the deal?

That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary.

Please post an outlet where it can be usually streamed (Streaming service)

I just discovered

Billions (Showtime)

The Sopranos (HBO)

With your life, or artificially happy, knowing it’s temporary?

To be clear, this post is semi-autobiographical. My life’s not bad, just kind of dull. Recreational cannabis use is legal. Am I wrong to enjoy it? Should I focus on improving my life instead of getting high?

Ho everybody,

I would create a Little Digital Clock that shows exact time of a city (for example Amsterdam) and I would insert the time of sunset for a WordPress site, but I'm a noob in HTML. Can you guide me please? Thanks in advance

It's friday, so lets try to end the week in a positive note with a laugh.

My own: got the first compliment of my life after a locker room raid.

I was told I was pretty easy on the eye with no top on, with a smile and a wink to boot, after a few minutes of playing the toss the bundle around game.

Basically as the title says. A local gas station chain has released a new app. They give you a one time $10 off your purchase of any purchase over $10 promo coupon.

The only unique identifiers for your account are an email and your number from a different loyalty points service. I noticed they don't verify the loyalty points number so you can put any random number in as long as it's the right length.

The $10 off only requires a $10 purchase. So if I spun up 3 accounts and went to 3 of their gas stations, pumping $11 worth of gas I would get $33 worth of gas for $3. Furthermore, it looks like this promotion works for anything in store, groceries or even gift cards. The only restrictions printed on the promo itself are tobacco, alcohol and lottery.

Their terms of service doesn't specially state anything about having multiple accounts.

Is there anything actually illegal here or is this a loophole they didn't consider?

Edit

After comparing two coupons back to back I just realized it's the same barcode each time. I don't even need to generate new ones.

I was thinking "Howdy tooth man" and a little tooth wearing a cowboy hat or the word "No" for a more literal meaning to the idiom "Read my lips"


To be clear I'm not actually going to get a tattoo on the inside of my lip this is just a shower thought.

Attached is my best attempt at AI generating an image of a cartoon tooth wearing a cowboy hat.

The two-panel comic I’m looking for describes how the level of care parents give plummets after the first child. The dialog goes something like this:

Panel 1

The child has a thermometer in their mouth.

[Father:] She has a mild fever.

[Mother:] To the emergency room!

Panel 2

The child twists their head around 180 degrees.

[Father:] Exorcist?

[Mother:] She’s fine.

Thank you!

Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.
