I very deliberately explained everything in too much detail that is common knowledge, except the very thing people would need an ELI5 for as a funny bit, and you still accuse me of using AI?

You should turn the screen off for today, prevents you from jumping at the shadow it casts behind you.

Marlboro is a major producer of cigarettes. Cigarettes, and tobacco products as a whole, are expensive, smelly and are proven to increase cancer risks due to the inhalation of carcinogens as the cigarette is lit and then inhaled. The burning of cigarettes also creates tar that is then inhaled, so there is literally black sludge that slowly accumulates in ones lungs as one inhale the smoke.

Reading all that, you might wonder how one could “love” it. Thing is, Tobacco products are incredibly addictive, once you start smoking cigarettes it is incredibly hard to stop. People start by only doing it with friends once a month or so, many people say it has a relaxing effect, especially when taken in a social circle, but then their brain craves it twice a month, and suddenly they want to do it every day or more often. It’s as we grown ups say, “a hooker who takes all your money but wont love you back”.

Cigarettes also make hrt less effective.

This is then revealed to be a breaking point for the portrayed smoker, evidently a hormone replacement therapy user. See, hrt is helping a lot of people growing into a body they feel comfortable in. It’s like puberty, but a more controlled process some people really want to do to feel comfortable in their body. This meme is showing that this desire is so great they even give up something that is incredibly hard to quit, because this step in their life is so important to them. The same way some people love to stay fit to feel good about their bodies, hrt users expend real effort to get to a body they don’t hate when necessary.

It’s easy, we create a problem with AI, and the best solution is to use even more AI, and when everyone is dependant on it to manage digital infrastructure that used to function for decades, then we raise the price.

Tunic is great, it really is a love letter to the instruction manual and note taking. The combat was so satisfying to improve at as well.

Admiral comes from Arabic “amīral”. “Amir” means king, prince, chief, leader, and “al” is the definite article, in English “the” (compare algebra or alchemy).

So admiral means “leader of the”, the Arabic for “leader of the sea”, Amīr al-Baḥr, was too long to survive the whole game of telephone.

That lousy plant ain’t doing shit to clean the air. You need like 100 gallons of algae for 1 adult, what is half a litre of a plant species going to do that also wastes energy on supporting tissue?

If you want to audibly groan, I cannot recommend this Siivagunner mash-up enough.

AI so shit it comes for my unemployment…

I recommend a targeted dive into Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae

Roughly halfway down, just above taxonomy, is a graphic of the clade. (True) hares are only in the genus Lepus, the rest may be called hares if they are big but that’s not taxonomy, just language.

There also is this helpful picture I found on the mammal page:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/OrthoMaM_v10b_2019_116genera_circular_tree.svg
Rabbits (well, the European rabbits Oryctolagus) are at the top left in blue, hares would be right beside them, as they are more closely related than the next animal group shown here, Pikas (Ochotona). Rabbit, Hares and Pikas form the group Lagomorphs. Deer are in the green category, left center, and thus distantly related.

Technically this is nor taxonomy, since we aren’t talking about relatedness. This is just linguistics.

No real biologist, but no. They are 2 different, but closely related species - certainly closer than deer!

Let me be an annoying pedant here and say that a huge number of media is made without profit incentives, we humans create a lot and share it for the fun of creating, be it free games, fan fiction or even music.

Sure I rarely consume such media for being a corporate slut, but you didn’t know that.

All the best media has already been made, hasn’t it? What’s new in the industry, Isekai? VR?

As long as I set a date in the past and stick to only consuming the media before that date, I don’t owe those weirdos any thanks, since they no longer contribute to the development of anything I watch.

So this is why I should be able to pirate snes roms, no idea what you are talking about.

Nah, it would be too much effort to shave and paint the nails every day.

I’d stuff another female leg just for the photos into my glove box.

You can “simulate” life inside your brain, too.

[Alt text: this is Bob. Bob is a figment of you imagination. When you leave, Bob will leave too. “Don’t leave” says Bob]

The Bob in your head is intelligent, it can communicate in English. Is it unethical to stop thinking about Bob? Was it unethical of me to show you this picture, creating a “Bob” in your head? Is any story unethical to tell?

Part of a sprinkler system to bury in ones lawn, that extends upward with water pressure.

I do not own a lawn.

I think the point is that she’s just a normal women, sharing uncontroversial articles. And there is this other half of the couple you just wonder about how someone could possibly see something in let alone put up with him.

I’m personally reminded of the parents of a childhood acquaintance, with a nice mom and a father that couldn’t even be asked to close the bathroom door when guest were there.

The other day I too “liberated” chicken from my local walmart.
