Ginkgo don't have flowers. They're older than flowers.

I wish didn't get bored of jobs so easily. Like, getting to use a cutting torch sounds fun, but I know that by the time I was any good at it I'd be sick of it already.

Oh thank you! I knew the password existed because I was able to do it with only one system, I did not remember having the other option!

The Oracle games didn't actually use the link cable, they had a password system.

Much safer than fidgeting with your actual switchblade, which is extremely tempting, lmao.

I was honestly shocked when I looked for a source and found out we weren't first anymore. We were first for a long time.

Are we not currently in an era of mass incarceration? It looks like currently the US is 6th in the world for incarceration rate and 1st in the world for total number of prisoners.

Because it's possible to joke about something while still treating it seriously? Acknowledging that the bear is relatable, and that that's kind of funny, isn't incompatible with urging people to respect its boundaries.

Innocent people plead guilty or no contest to charges all the time, tbh. I think what's crazy is running for office as a member of the party famous for its calls of "law and order" after spending eight years in the big house at the hands of the "law." You might think that would clue you in that maybe the legal system is not all it's cracked up to be.

It had a winning record for like 8 years in a row before humans found a strategy that beats it, that seems pretty good.

This one isn't even real. "Fewer" can only refer to countable things, but "less" can refer to both countable and uncountable things, and has been used that way for hundreds of years. It has never been wrong to say "less."

I don't understand the chart in this article about body type vs. underwear style. It doesn't relate to the question that it's located directly under, and it makes no attempt to explain why, for example, thin men shouldn't wear boxers.

I can't tell if this article is AI generated or just rushed out by someone trying to meet a quota.
