not a thing you or your parents decide just because.

If you want it done for yourself, I’d say that’s ok. Personal autonomy. But yeah, no one should be making the decision to have it done to you (barring medical necessity).

I agree with your underlying point and don’t wish to detract from it though.

I’m American and don’t trust U.S. firms with data.

To be clear, I also don’t trust Chinese firms.

Black beans are perfectly suitable in chili.

Friends don’t let friends use Meta AI app

TIL that they still made these

Sandwiches for snakes

Certainly changes the meaning of “super duper”

I’ve become progressively more apathetic as I’ve aged. The highs aren’t as high, but the lows aren’t as low either.

They could probably use sand

Same rules as Reddit apply here: know your target audience.

I disagree. The deaths can be directly observed and also allow for post-mortem examination. They are not some sort of hypothetical conjecture.

It would also be patently ridiculous to suggest that poison is effective, but only the ones that cause painful death.

Furthermore, presentation matters. OP presented it as “definitely” being a horrible death with details that would support this. Follow-up comment was straight-up presented as conjecture with nothing to support it. If they aren’t confident in their own point, then why should I be?

My point stands. Nice try though.

Fairly quick, when someone just looks to be arguing in bad faith rather than furthering a discussion. I don’t have much patience for bullshit.

The flipside is that I will generally unblock after a month or so unless they made my permanent block list (which is much less common).

Considering that I don’t see any reason for this to be the case, I’m not going to presume that without some supporting evidence.

Yeah, the simplest answer is to just skip the leather look rather than going with a bunch of plastic junk.

If you still want to, I would consider cork and waxed canvas to be reasonable options. Waxed canvas in particular is quite a durable material, so it can be a good choice for bags and jackets.

The “positives” don’t usually translate to any sort of benefit for the average person. Yes, I am aware that there are exceptions to this.

I have become very cynical of tech over the past several years and am strongly opposed to any sort of space colonization.

“the unthinkable”

Hyperbole much?

It’s been overshadowed by other current events. Quite a shame, really

If you know that the rat poison you use causes a horrible death, why not do some research and pick a better formula or a different type of trap?

Haven’t listened to the radio in about 15 years.

Drive to work in the morning would piss me off. Stop the jibber jabber and play some music already!
