Nothing about potatoes, it’s the Vaporeon copypasta - mashed potato takes its spot in the graphic.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female potato breeding, mashed potato is the most compatible potato for humans?

So, what’s your point? Other people might have a lot more boring childhood anecdotes to tell, but it’s not like I’m suffering in any kind. I still remember people or useful skill - the stuff I do use.

As an added benefit of growing up quite poor, I probably just had less unique experiences I actually could recall. Like, I’ve been on three travel vacations overall. Kinda like those COVID years blurred together for most people.

Nah, it’s just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.

I don’t find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it’s “use it or lose it”.

I’ve already forgotten most of my childhood and I’m only around 30. So I’d assume, yes.

I don’t know the episode, but the joke is about the TV broadcast experiencing difficulties. The broadcast warns against any sexual interactions to pass time because years of TV radiation shriveled up their genitals.

I’ve waited months to collected one of these points! Let’s hope I’m right.

I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

Ich werde nie verstehen, warum alle es so geil finden nach unten zu treten. Klar, Populisten brauchen einen Sündenbock damit wir nicht noch auf die Idee kommen Ihnen oder ihren reichen Freunden das Geld wegzunehmen - aber das die Wähler das geil finden trifft mich.

Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.

I’m really glad I wasn’t born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I’m not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.

Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I’ve finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

• Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
• Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

I couldn’t name a single street in the city I’ve been born in except the ones I lived in. I’ve learned to navigate the city before I could read and never bothered to read street names thereafter.

The same goes for every other city, my mental map of cities includes almost no street names. Maybe that’s because I don’t use cars at all, after all I could name bus stations and such (some of which are named after streets, I guess, but I’ve still got no idea about how they connect or even which street of an intersection actually has the name).

I guess my wish came true, and we’re done with setup episodes. The only thing still missing is a reoccurring villain - the original Dragon Ball was at its best with Piccolo, Tao Pai-Pai or General Blue.

I’m still not very interested in Glorio, but Panzy seems like a fun stand-in for Bulma. In fact, she seems so similar, I’m wondering why Bulma will join at all. Maybe both groups will be on their own adventure for the most part. The new alien guy joining up with Vegeta seems fun, I’m sure they will annoy each other to no end.

Goku almost went Super Saiyan and up until now nothing came close to a challenge. I guess it will be quite some time until they hit a wall, which is a shame, since training arcs are always my favorite ones.

Otherwise, there isn’t much to say. Shin still did nothing, they still lay it on thick about Glorio being suspicious and with the ship crashing after mere minutes, while funny, the episode ended where it began.

Who cares? Just like most things your average programmer relies on, they are written by smarter or at least more specialised people to make your job easier. They have learned to write memory-safe code so you don’t have to.

That approach may work for journalism and such, with a single person collecting primary sources and verifying them before writing an article. However, it does not work on the internet.

Instead of one person verifying the claim and adding further sources in an article, every single reader would have to do it. And anyone using the internet would have to do so hundreds of times every day. Nobody does that. It only makes sense to shift the burden of further proof onto the primary source or disregard it.

It’s just too easy to lie about them. They allegedly had primary sources for “They are eating the dogs”.

Trusting your common sense to filter these just doesn’t work, asking for a better source is never wrong.

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don’t antagonize women?

It is obvious, you’re right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn’t have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it’s not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.

Probably talking out of his ass. I like to read conservative threads to see comments outside of my bubble - they say the same shit, just about other platforms like reddit.

It’s the age of post-truth and I don’t think there is a fix for that anytime soon.
