Unironic question: is it possible to boycott goods from a country apolitically?

Look, people showing cleavage are aware it's going to draw attention. In the same way women know if they put words on their tits you're going to read them. There's a difference between noticing something and staring right at it

The Macarena I'd about a woman cheating on her BF getting drafted into the military with 2 other guys

Which is pretty intense for a song they taught to kids in grade school

Your mom has been posting a lot more on Instagram recently

An important thing to remember is that your job represents about a third of your life and almost half of your waking life. People as a species are sociable and want to know more about the people they spend the most time around. A lot of those interactions are not inherently trying to get something from you but are rather people just being interested in the person who are around them

Imagine being the woman who drags herself in there, still mostly asleep, orders her coffee, gets it free?, drinks it, goes outside and sees this

That'd be pretty fucking gross

Reposting one of my top lemmy comments:

NASA is a very safety conscious organization. So they want to overestimate everything and include way more than they need. So when she said a couple per day you can round that to 5 for safety, then considering it's a 6 day mission they want to include triple the amount of needed supplies which means 18 days worth. 18*5=90 which is pretty close to 100 so let's round up again. Plus tampons are a useful first aid tool, especially in zero gravity. You shove some into an open wound and it'll prevent blood from spilling all over the very sensitive equipment. Does a woman need 100 tampons for 6 days? Of course not, but she wasn't going to spend a week in the mountains, she was going to space, so the safety precautions were much more stringent

It was, I got laid plenty in college. I meant I would get a woman's number, text her, then she would give 2/3 responses and disappear. It stopped almost entirely when I switched to asking for Snapchat instead

Oh, OKC used to rock a decade ago. Before they started the monitization efforts they had over a thousand questions that you could pre-sort matches based off of their importance to both of you. There wasn't swiping, you just actually looked at profiles. It really rewarded writing good profiles which I happen to do well

You probably don't interact with a lot of teens then. It's pretty common in high schools and college campuses. I was told a decade ago that my green bubbles were probably why women stopped texting me after I got their number off okcupid

 

I was watching an XKCD "What-If" video recently and Randal off-handedly mentions the title fact as a given. Upon a further Google search I see explanations about why sound moves faster in liquids than gasses but nothing for my specific question. Is there an intuitive explanation for that fact or is it just one of those weird observable facts with no clear explanation

 

For those of us who still use reddit on occasion, I'm sure you've noticed AI is running rampant over there, from the multitude of variations of "Am I the Asshole", "Malicious Compliance", and especially in the comments. A lot of the explain the joke subreddits and in particular "Peter Explain the Joke" seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it's designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results. I know there're a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day? Is it just plain old karma farming?
