  • Apparently T-Rex can live up to a couple weeks without food.

    So I would spend most of that time pestering it, throwing rocks and stuff just to keep it awake and agitated. Ideally get it to chase me back into my indestructible hut.

    After week 3, if it isn’t dead, it will be so lethargic and ill that I could hack away at it’s tail until enough bleeding finishes the job. It says I have food, it does not say he has food.

    “But it’s awkward in social settings”, “What if I’m going out to eat”, “What if it’s the only option”, “What if I am trying but don’t realize something has an animal product”

    Idk dude then eat meat in those settings I guess. 95% of your food is consumed outside of those settings so just be 95% vegan or vegetarian.



  • It really depends on how close to a supermajority the Dems get on their own. It’s expected for Trump to take some radical military action in the next few weeks, that could be the trigger to unify them around either restricting his power or fully removing him from office.

    I would put the odds of super majority action at “quite low” but during my entire life time the odds have been “hahahahahahahahahahaha I forgot that existed”

    The ‘+’ is not present in the meme.

    Queer sometimes includes ace people but typically not, which is why you normally see LGBTQA+ in modern contexts. The Q and A being different groups of people. I’m not making a political statement about A != Q just a linguistic argument about how I typically see the terms used.

    But the version in the meme does not have a “+”

    I adjusted my comment because of that exact thought.

    FWIW I find using ‘the straights’ as a pejorative like that distasteful. Like when one gay person does something antisocial and people attribute that action to the “the gays”.






  • Indoor cycling / running is “just as hard”, you can scale it to the difficulty you prefer.

    Exercise, for 95% of people, is about being healthy. Making that more convenient means you are more inclined to stick with it which is a win. Making it artificially harder in ways that don’t directly contribute to your goals just increases the chance of burnout, skipping days, etc. Or just making it easier in ways that actively harm your goals.

    I would prefer someone take every opportunity to make their exercise experience easier in non-material ways if it meant they tried a bit harder on the actual relevant stuff e.g. increase resistance, time, weight, etc.

    People who say this make me laugh because it is extremely obvious that you don’t exercise, either indoors or outdoors. It’s like asking “why would anyone ever buy an oven when you literally could just eat the raw ingredients”, presumably you’ve just never consumed food before.

    There are benefits to stationary cardio. 1) More convenient 2) Easier to zone out 3) Built in pacer 4) Safer 5) Doesn’t matter if it’s snowing/raining/humid/hot/dark. 6) Can be done from home, relevant if you have kids, on call duties, etc 7) Good way for adults to learn how to ride a bike in the first place 8) two people can run next to eachother at different paces while chatting 9) can be stopped at any point and you’re never 2 miles from your destination 10) Some people just don’t enjoy riding in the road, and riding on sidewalks is illegal in many areas 11) can be set for very long downhill or uphill segments that aren’t realistic in the real world 12) easier to follow a class/routine.

    Like. People aren’t just idiots. They use them because there are good reasons to use them.
