You’re not alone ❤️

Weird, here natural deodorant means it doesn’t contain any aluminum.

My guess would be that’d depend on who’s calling it “natural”. You definitely do see that meaning here as well, even in the same store

Huh, interesting. I could have sworn that the “block of crystal” thing I had N years ago was an antiperspirant and not just a deodorant, but it’s been a while and I can barely remember what happened last week. I just remember that it was some aluminum salt or another, but thought it specifically wasn’t alum (which I still use for small nicks and cuts)

“Natural deodorant” is usually just a block of an aluminum salt crystal, which’ll work just fine since that’s the kind of stuff in “industrial” deodorants too. Stains more and dries out your skin though since you usually end up with way more of the stuff in your pits, which is sorta ironic I guess.

So I think I’d go with Shiloh or Dayzie?

Ha I didn’t remember that at all. Been a while since I rewatched Community

They’re making money for a living.

I don’t think “what value are we bringing to the academic publishing industry?” is something anybody there really considers. Well unless you define “value” as “shareholder profit”, at any rate.

Seems to be my time to be confused but I have no idea what that means either

Honestly can’t remember much of anything about Vista either except some vague annoyance. I did use it more than 7 but not all that much more, I’d been too ruined by Linux

You have no power here.

Was that even a thing in Win7 yet? I only used 7 to play EVE, really, but otherwise I’d been daily-driving Linux since Vista days (which are further in the past than I’d really like to think)

They just consistently manage to fall short of even the lowest expectations I set. It’s astonishing.

Elsevier’s response, they said, was “to maintain that the editors should not be paying attention to language, grammar, readability, consistency, or accuracy of proper nomenclature or formatting.”

Fucking hell, Elsevier, we all know you’re shitty people who are doing immense harm to the world for personal gain, but do you have to rub it in our faces every time? Can’t you at least like pretend?

But… how do… I mean, that’s… uh… how do you know what cat tastes like?

Ah duh, right, of course.

I haven’t used Windows since whenever the hell Win7 came out, so I haven’t had to deal with IE for so long for any reason that the trauma’s all gone

The leopards are eating each others’ faces for once

I… uh… I don’t get it

Yessss let’s go back to the good old days where you didn’t dare get divorced if you were the “homemaker”, because who the hell’s going to hire a person who spent the last 15 years at home raising children? And it was awesome that when 1 parent was the one making money, they spent less time with their kids, so kids bonded more with just one parent!

Liiike, maybe start with work-life balance? Or, more importantly, have a think on how we do families nowadays? The “nuclear family” concept, which only really got going in the 40’s, is fundamentally broken and unsalvageable, but you’re just assuming that’s the way things should be and that the real problem is with both parents working.

Think about how children were historically raised in western countries, and still are in many many cultures around the world (and even in the west too for that matter.) “It takes a village” was pretty literal: it wasn’t just the parents looking after their own kids, but various grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends etc. were a part of it. The fact that kids mostly grow up without those kinds of “networks” has been a huge factor in how alienated people feel from society. Growing up in a hermetically sealed cube with much less watchful adult guidance or a feeling of community, yeah that’s going to cause problems.

We as a species dumped all out skill points into cooperation and being social, and we seem to have forgotten about that.

Shhh! No criticize, only worship!

“People who thought that Harris supports face-eating leopards decided to either not vote or voted for the face-eating leopard and are now shocked to find their faces eaten by leopards”

That’s certainly an opinion
