@Rightanglenews 57gm not 2gms.

An American man who says he knows he’s getting ripped off when he goes to Chipotle has finally whipped out a scale to measure how much chicken he’s really getting, only to find his $12 bowl contains barely two grams of chicken. I don’t know about you, but I remember going to Chipotle in 2015 and never being able to finish it.

@DefiantLs bigfoot is a metaphor for maga, and this sums up Trump Derangement syndrome verry well

"Mike, you used to be so liberal, what happened?"

@newstart_2024 Sounds like cherry picking statistics and recipients in specific groups. Has data perversion all over it without even watching the podcast.

In the 1970s, a small Canadian town called Dauphin was chosen at random for a remarkable experiment. The government gave every resident a guaranteed basic income — the equivalent of about $15,000 a year in today’s money — with no strings attached and no way to lose it. What happened next was fascinating. People spent more time with their kids. Very few quit working entirely, but many stopped accepting terrible jobs, which actually raised overall working conditions. Employers had to offer better pay and standards to attract workers. But the most striking result? Hospitalizations for severe depression and anxiety dropped by 9% in just three years. Johann Hari shared this story and it left me thinking: what if a simple floor of financial security could meaningfully improve mental health at a population level? It’s one of those rare real-world experiments that makes you question a lot of assumptions about work, poverty, and human well-being. Have you ever heard about the Dauphin experiment before? What surprised you most?

@Enezator Nah, the video was repurposed. A malamute street dog? No way.

A crane operator paused his work just to entertain a street dog. Spun him around a bit, the dog loved it, and it warms your heart watching. Sometimes the smallest things can make your whole day.🐶🏗️

@KieraDiss Please investigate the misuse of “daub”.

ISLAMIC CENTRE VANDALISED A lone hooded figure targeted the Jami Community and Education Centre in Birmingham, spraying graffiti including “no-one wants you here”. After finishing, he filmed his work on his phone before disappearing. Police are investigating.

@maru_goat @mathsrick_ You would be actually moron to think that.

@mathsrick_ Call me crazy, but because there’s no parenthesis or multiplication sign, wouldnt ab technically be 41?

ab = ?

@nekoyamamanager It’s crap, like putting wasabe in your eyes to stay awake in the early hours. You can do it, once. Ice cream on the other hand instead of peanuts is a winner.🏆

30年前くらいに村上春樹のエッセイで、アメリカではコーラにピーナッツを入れて飲むのがポピュラーだと書いてあった。「ふぅん」と思ってから長い時間が経ったが、ついにやってみた。 何だこれバカ美味いんでやんの。 これ以外でもうコーラ飲みたくなくなるレベル。

@MbarkCherguia No blanket required. Get over yourselves.

This woman’s receiving backlash for breastfeeding her (kind of old) child inside a restaurant on Mother’s Day, where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother’s Day and meals with loved ones. What do you think? Did she deserve the backlash?

@SBarrettBar They are universally known for it. Sad that you can’t stand being contradicted. Zig Heil!

I really don't recommend contradicting me Hide Reply + Block will be your fate.

Muslims don't hate dogs You are being told they do To make you hate Muslims Don't play that game.

@glorparoo @JamesLNuzzo @r0cketpocket Pretty immature comment. At some point you have to think of yourself. There is a range of risk from a local park right through to Everest, where the weak are literally left to die.

@blakenned @JamesLNuzzo @r0cketpocket “I would have left her to die because I didn’t properly prep her for this hike beforehand!!!” bro I hope you trip down an extremely steep hill lol

The following is a true story from my life, which is related to the contents of this article in The Guardian: In July 2009, I hiked part of the Grand Canyon with an ex-girlfriend, who I will call Sara. Sara and I were both in our 20s, and we were accompanied by four high school-aged relatives/friends. The plan was to head off early in the AM to hike the 10 miles down, stay over night at the bottom, and then hike the 10 miles up the next day. During the hike down, Sara's walking was slow, and she was pre-occupied with taking nature photos at every possible opportunity. Her slow walking was a problem because, although we started early, it was July and the sun was starting to beat down on us--something that would only becoming progressively worse with more time on the trail. As I recall, everyone in the group recognised Sara's slow walking as a problem. Everyone but Sara understood that we needed to get to the bottom of the Canyon sooner rather than later, because we were in the sun doing strenuous exercise, and we didn't have endless supplies of water. It was also the first time any of us had hiked the Grand Canyon. Sara continued her slow walking and picture taking. At multiple points, we offered to carry Sara's bag for her so that her load would be lighter and she could walk more easily. Sara refused to give up her bag. She wanted to prove that she could do the hike without help. If my memory is correct, around the 5 mile mark, the group decided to split up. I stayed with Sara, and the high schoolers went on ahead of us, walking at their "fast" (i.e., appropriate) pace. Sara continued to walk slow, and signs of extreme fatigue / heat exhaustion were setting in. Sara became unwell physically and mentally. Again, I offered to carry her bag for her. Again, she refused. Though I was fit, I was also starting to feel unwell. In fact, I don't think I've ever felt that close to health exhaustion in my life. I was also not in a good place. Making matters worse, we ran out of water, and there were no water stations for the remainder of the hike. The key reason that why we ran out of water was Sara's slow walking, which continued to expose to the sun. Moreover, when we ran out of water, we weren't even close to the end. As I recall, we were still about 2-3 miles away from the end when we ran out of water, and we didn't even know where the end was because we were unfamiliar with the trail. Also, by that time, there wasn't a single soul left on the trail--no one walking down or up. We were alone. It was an awful experience. At one point, Sara had basically given up; she sat down in the middle of the path and wouldn't move. Eventually, perhaps through motivational efforts, Sara continued walking and we got to the end. When we got to the bottom, the high schoolers told us that they were so worried about us that were thinking about calling a rescue party to look for us. We slept over night at the bottom and then hiked the 10 miles back up the next day. Remarkably, after all that, Sara still would not allow anyone to carry her bag on the way up. Sneakily, when she was not looking, we would take things out of her bag to lighten her load. Bottom line: Sara's stubbornness, her desire to prove how strong and independent she was, her lack of adequate fitness, and her unwillingness to listen to people who understood nature, physiology, and physical fitness better than her, almost killed her...and me. She caused the high schoolers significant distress, and had they stayed with us, she might have also put them at increased health risk. During the hike, Sara exhibited a set of behaviors that I wanted nothing to do with moving forward. The "alpine divorce" can work in both directions but for different reasons.

@SteveOnSpeed What I’m worried about is it’s the upcoming , those used to the idea of euthanising and harvesting, as a policy, like any other. I’ll get distracted by life and find myself in a bad way one day. It’s a no for me.

A nurse told me to opt out of organ donation because it might affect medical decisions, and not in my favor. Does this actually happen?

@RickyDoggin Hard candy

I don't even know what this is...🤮🤮🤮

@bigdgramps46079 @GadSaad Knife, same way I’ve seen it done on a bull. *maybe* anaesthetic.

@GadSaad How do you propose doing the castration?

Castration followed by execution. Thoughts?

@TheDreamProfit @realMaalouf I would feel nothing. My choices are irrelevant to you.

@realMaalouf I mean how would you feel if you were a vegan and I walked up and started eating raw ground beef in front of you

You see this sign at your workplace. What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

@realMaalouf Honestly, my first thought was “are there any cameras around?”

@DrChrisCombs 300=200+2*d

Evan you might want to ask for a refund

@DrChrisCombs He’s on the DEI track!

@SouthHampUpper1 @JamesLNuzzo @r0cketpocket 100%

I have hiked major big mounds in the PNW. Turned around when I did not meet my waypoint by the correct (safe) time. Your scenario: one hour in to a hike, July, Arizona, steep GC trails, limited water - the conversation with 'Sara' from me would get extremely loud and forceful and she is coming with me back to the trailhead and her being 'an extremely stubborn woman' is irrelevant. This is not a matter of options, or her opinion, or any other exigency. She's returning to the trailhead with me. Metaphysical certitude. You make her go back. Period.

Sorry mate that you were stuck in that situation. I don’t crave approval from others and would have lost my shit, taken that camera and left her. From what I’ve read of North American hiking trails they are not to be taken lightly. I suppose in hindsight these conversations need to be had before going on hikes with people you have no experience with.

@r0cketpocket She was an extremely stubborn woman.

@GadSaad @ZohranKMamdani @JoeBiden @AOC Your man card is rejected sir, it’s cancelled.

I tried tonight to watch Top Gun Maverick. Things that I would enjoy more: 1) Grooming the beard of @ZohranKMamdani; 2) Giving @joebiden an oil massage; 3) Listening to Occasional Cortex @AOC explain her foreign policy views; 4) Visit Raqqa, Syria wearing a “I love Bibi” t-shirt; 5) Injecting Ebola into my eyeballs.
