Made of chocolate, spent too long building sand castles in Greed and had to be refrozen.

That's what the folks at home call dickboxing.

No Evidence That Women’s Preference for Masculine Faces Is Linked With Hormones Data from almost 600 participants show that women’s perceptions of male attractiveness do not vary according to their hormone levels, in contrast with some previous research. The study findings are pu...

There is no evidence of any correlation between hormonal birth control and partner preference and studies that have claimed as such have failed to be reproduced.

I would die for Pombon.

Probably a bad idea to like a fire starter in a game that seems to be going all-in on tropical and watery environments, but the fluffiness-to-challenge ratio is very skewed here.

I actually keep having the problem where I think "I absolutely brought my thing in from the car, I *remember* bringing it in, where did I put it down???"

And then it's always in the car, and I gotta get my shoes on, and go into the garage, and it's a whole thing...

I liked the part where V1 turned to the camera and said "IT'S ULTRAKILL TIME" and Ultrakilled all those guys.

My experience with people who claim to "never get sick" is usually them hacking up their lungs every five minutes of the conversation because they keep catching colds and wait for them to pass on their own.

The deep dish ones especially, much better than the flatbreads IMO.

Yeah there was an issue with the recommendation system, the front page was up but completely blank. It lasted about 3 hours.

It's so weird they did this when Spongebob's most iconic feature is being yellow. They had the perfect color as a default, going for the dyed color was just pointlessly chasing a trend.

I cannot, in my entire life, think of a single situation where I'd just randomly get a blood test and not have my doctor explain the results to me.

It's a blood test, not homework.

They'll tolerate things that have existed for centuries like needing glasses (because "glasses cure bad eyesight"), but all sickness needs to be "cured" to them. That's why they get so mad at diabetes and cancer research; they think that if it hasn't been "cured" the research has "failed".

I keep noticing anti-medicine folks always ask for "cures".

As in, that's their idea of medicine: "cures", like playing a game and you get poisoned you so you chug an antidote and the poison goes away, that's how they think medicine works. They genuinely don't understand the concept of "treatment".

I think if you ask a lot of people it depends on the view itself.

The guy on Reddit who thought he was the incarnation of Jesus Christ was "weird". The guy on Twitter who took his newborn to a chiropractor because he doesn't believe in medicine needs a bit more...visceral...of a descriptor.

It's a really fun game, one of my favorites at 160 hours. If you like exploring for scraps of information/materials but aren't looking for combat-heavy survival it's great.

Though I do think a large chunk of the fandom has a tendency to put the game on a pedestal, which is kinda a bummer.

Returning Disney's Hunchback of Notre-Dame to its original roots by stripping away all the anti-racist messaging, brutally killing everyone at the end, and making sure Djali the dancing goat survives thanks to real-life poet Pierre Gringore liking it so much he abandons Esmeralda to the guards.

What is life if nothing more than a half-baked unskippable cutscene with minor bugs and excessive makeout scenes?

I mean, it does make sense; we do that in real life for stuff like jungle juice, where it's just a bunch of alcohol thrown together.

Plus "jet" isn't exactly a unique drug name, so it stands to reason there'd be people in the wasteland mixing up whatever they find and calling it "jet".

A picture of Sylvia, the weather-predicting armadillo from the town of Apex, North Carolina. Sylvia is rotund and, presumably, enjoying life.

All groundhogs β€” GROUNDHOG-DAY.com See a list of all 89 prognosticators, whether genuine groundhogs or otherwise. Despite the name, GROUNDHOG-DAY.com is all-welcoming.

There are apparently a lot of official weather-predicting creatures that aren't groundhogs, including:

* Multiple taxidermied groundhogs
* Several humans in mascot outfits
* At least one stuffed animal
* An animatronic
* A frog, Snohomish Slew

I'm half-wondering if I could just bundle a TTS with a web crawler linked to WebMD and scam techbros for millions by calling it an "AI doctor".

Could add a "includes tensorflow" to the code so I can say it "relies on neural nets"...

Yeah, I agree, it's the redundancy that causes problems, not the adverbs.

The redundancy is also why I feel like "just use said" backfires sometimes, you just wind up with a lot of repetitive conversations that go "he said, she said, he said, she said" over and over; it needs to be broken up a bit.

Richard Dawkins: 'Date rape is bad, stranger rape is worse' The writer was using examples to illustrate logical syllogisms

I didn't know about this so I looked it up and it's shockingly worse.

I can't even measure my own hands, it's maybe a quarter of an inch difference and the perspective seems to flip if I look at the other side of my hand.

Just in case anyone was wondering if it were even remotely possible to "tell the difference" by zooming in on a random picture on the internet.

Taking shuttles out to scream at uncharted planets is a very popular Star Fleet activity, very cathartic.

I really shouldn't engage with the Steam community, I don't know why I bother, it just fuels my cynicism and distrust in people's ability to properly engage with media.

They're not the only community that does it, but they're definitely the worst.
