Jurassic Park.

Everyone was blown away, like holy shit, that was amazing

“The reason is, people hate Jews,” Ostroy said. The host then briefly expounded upon the pervasiveness of antisemitism before concluding, “You know, if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses, there’d be an uproar.”

“Oh my god, forget it,” Margulies answered. “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them…

Wow. What the fuck, lady.

Despite our robust economy, the US trails both Europe and China in terms of EV adoption.

Yeah, about that. The economy only looks robust because its health is based on the stock value of a limited number of U.S. corporations. The average American human being is fuckin broke…ironically, because of the pursuit of eternal continuous growth (which is impossible) for profit.

Sry but you’re too late, I already paid a visit to Post Nut Clarity bank

Ah thanks, I didn’t know they made stuff like that!

That is really cool and looks incredibly cozy, especially this time of year. Part of me wants to try this with space heaters mounted into the wall for a more immersive experience, but I’m realizing as I type this out that I don’t need another stupid way to for me to burn down the house.

Because everyone knows only terrorists take hostages, so using the term to describe one side tells the public who to think is the terrorist side without having to actually say it.

The captain is down and I’ve resorted to kicking. Form an orderly line, folks. Let’s face the end with dignity, shall we?

Alligator. Chewier than chicken. Tasted kinda like chicken. Would try again, I guess.

Also had ostrich burgers a couple of times. I’m told I was shitfaced and enjoyed them immensely, but I couldn’t tell you for sure, for I was shitfaced.

You might have figured it out by now, but “megabits per second” is abbreviated as “Mbps” with an uppercase m; yeah, it’s kinda pedantic, but using lowercase means it’s a millibit, which is much, much smaller. The same applies to “gigabits per second,” which should be expressed as “Gbps.”

At any rate, thank you for posting this, it really is good news. And about time they did this, too.

Hey, this is my hometown, fuck you man

Same here, it hasn’t gotten old for me yet! Hahah, I’m sure you get this a lot, but I saw your username and assumed I was looking at a Risa post (or at least a post in the startrek.website instance), hence the Trek reference.

Thx for posting this comic, it’s nice to be reminded you’re not the only one, ya know?

This frickin comic, gets me every time. It is a lot like that. I try to reason, be rational, consider options, but I get nothing back. It’s like trying to hail the Reliant, all I get is static.

What a crock of shit. Johnson & Johnson netted $17 billion USD in 2022, so it’s not like they can’t afford to pay any settlements. They just don’t want to. In the last 5 years they netted 84 billion dollars, and that is all profit. Yeah, fuck you, J&J

Israel has made many attempts to share the land and has allowed to them live in territories within the land for decades

Bruh, they’re annexing the West Bank. If that’s your idea of sharing, I’n dying to see what you think bullshit looks like.

This is a great list, but the repo has not been maintained since July and it’s starting to look outdated. There’s a few projects here and there that are now defunct, e.g. Reddit clients :(

Holy shit, good for you, lemmy.world. Was wondering if it would ever happen.

It’s not a question of “Can you read the book?” It is a question of, “Did you extract information from the book? Can you connect the dots asked in the question based on the information that you read?” Lots of people who identify themselves as literate have a lot of difficulty doing these kinds of things.

I’m really sorry if this comes across as a TL;DR, but there’s a name for that. I’m positive you already know, but for the benefit of those interested, it’s called “functional illiteracy.” And it’s wild, still blows my mind to this day. Like, if you’re functionally illiterate, that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to read…it means you can read but can’t understand language written beyond the basic level. There are a lot of variables involved and I’m oversimplying a lot, but that’s it in a nutshell. It’s fucking terrifying, to be honest, especially because it’s so widespread.

Read to your kids, folks! And talk to them about it afterwards!

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

Octopus, if I had to guess
