This is the defrag I remember most. Back on a 286/386 it would really make a noticable difference in how fast files and programs would be found and loaded. From my Pentium-based Windows 95 machines and onwards I never noticed quite the same impact of defragging my drives.

It’s commonly used as a criticism of Obama to point out that his approval of drone strikes was significantly higher than any president before or since. This data point is a bit shaky however, because drone strikes weren’t nearly as prevalent during his predecessor’s terms as drones weren’t as technologically advanced as they were during his terms, and due to the fact that the Trump admin changed drone strike approval processes to no longer need presidential approval.

I bet this is going to involve the number of drone strike he authorized, so for some preemptive context: https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-countries-bombed-under-donald-trump-joe-biden-and-barack-obama-11273909 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_the_United_States_drone_strikes#Approvals_of_drone_strikes

There’s nothing like honesty as a foundation of a relationship. Also, getting both of your baggage out there is a good way to figure out if you’re compatible.

I’m pretty sure the for the vast majority of people Mike Tyson has a much better chance of finishing them off in a minute than Lana.

You’re trying to add nuance so this will probably not go over well in this dumpster fire of a comment thread, but you are correct. The butt of the joke is the person asking the questions because they look like a creep/pervert/overly horny. This is a form of self-deprecating humor on part of the original commenter in the screenshot, but apparently the internet is still where humor goes to die.

I’ll admit I was never a big techno, house, or other electronic music connoisseur so I’ll concede you’re probably right.

The video is absolutely a piece of absurdist art, but that track itself sounds very derivative of late 90s hardcore house music, and not in a particularly inspired way. Not my jam overall, but I guess I am also not the primary demographic for her art.

My bad on misabbreviating Super Sport, thanks for the correction. You are getting my point though, how did folks who actually fought the SS not feel weird driving a car labelled SS? I know I sure couldn’t without having some mixed feelings.

Yeah, it’s the same response I have to seeing it in other places too. Like for example American cars using the “SS” badging for their SuperSpeed variants of popular muscle car models. This goes back to like the sixtees too. Did none of the WW2 vets see an issue with that back then?

Yeah, I’d like to know too. Don’t leave us hanging OP.

That’s not wrong, that’s working as expected. You didn’t think those companies paid Google to not advertise their business did you?

That’s a stretch. I don’t need to hate someone (including myself) to deem them less attractive or just not my type.

And I honestly think that’s what’s at play here - straight guys are into women and will judge their appearance differently from how they judge the appearance of other men.

Perhaps we don’t collectively look like we dress poorly and barely take care of ourselves to women, as they likely look at other aspects of our physical appearance than we do

I mean, the chiropractor is technically correct. You’ll say goodbye to a lot of things, including IBS.

Or, get this, the poster is a guy who genuinely feels like this.

I can’t deny that I (as a guy) have often wondered what women see in us, because to me the vast majority of men are poorly dressed on top of looking like we don’t take care of ourselves.

While you are not wrong, the enemy of “perfect” should not be “good”.

In this case, presuming folks get into a new vehicle ever 4-5 years on average (I know the number is skewing more toward 6-7 in the US, but the point stands) having them switch to a car that has a slightly higher production impact but makes up for it after the first 1.5 years of ownership still means we achieve net lower emissions. There are numerous studies showing that EVs, even when used on less clean electricity sources, drastically reduce total lifetime emissions compared to combustion engine vehicles.

And let’s not forget that we can power EVs using renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro) which is just an economically and environmentally more sustainable practice than the single-use burning of a bunch of hydrocarbons.

Thank you for your service!

We need a version of that GIF of Bugs Bunny sawing off Florida, but for Canada.

I appreciate someone still remembering that, fellow ancient person.

This is at least in large part how the locking down of smartphones began. People either weren’t around yet or don’t remember how much of a wild west smartphones were for malware, scams, etc. when they first reached mass market uptake. There was a while there where companies were blocking smartphones from their networks because of the security risks.

It took Apple and their closely integrated/walled garden approach and insistence to sway the perception. And that’s what other manufacturers then decided to emulate.
