Showerthoughts

We mostly watch news and sports in my house. So unfortunately, live TV. Occasionally we watch other things. I mute the commercials and browse my phone when they're on.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes' uniforms. Hide the ads on the pitcher's mound. Hide the billboards and signs in the stadium. Show some cool little generic animation, music video, or slide show during commercial breaks. Hide the damned popup window ads and scrolling ads that some channels do. Remove product placements from movies and shows. Basically make all ads completely vanish.

Like engagement rings denote the engagement... Maybe it's just English being its usual mess

I frequently post in AskLemmy so I think about questions a lot. For example, I was thinking about this in the shower and I was thinking "I really like this handmade soap. It's much better than the usual stuff we get" and then I came up with a related question: "What is something that you would rather buy handmade instead of mass-produced?"

If you ever come across a skull without an incision line, you can be damn sure there's a brain in there.

Mixing every color using light = white

Mixing every color using pigments (paint, ink, etc.) = black

I can only imagine the difference it would make if instead of telling about your idea you could show it

All we have are scriptures and texts that could have been a series of meme that built/improved from eachother but lost the common knowledge between the generations that it was fictional.

• Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
• Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
• Both are in populated influential trade centers
• The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
• The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.

This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven't got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.

How BS is it?

I'm sure the wrap shops love getting those calls

I won't be taking questions.

If you use "they" to describe a nameless group of people and you mean anyone other than The Man (That's how they get you.), you're probably the one who's wrong.

Looking forward to reading some fun exceptions.

The way our bodies react to mosquito saliva motivates us to avoid being bitten. Which must have had evolutionary benefits, keeping us away from diseases.

I.e. all those people that didn't mind them and never got itchy from mosquito bites appear to have died out. And mosquitoes really wish that wasn't true.

Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

Saw a post on the Canada community and basically was just talking about how this guy is Joe and it would be good if he was replaced by someone like Harris and even better if it was someone like AOC. I've seen similar stuff on the Aussie communities. It's interesting that American politics is so well known it's easier to convey information about local politics as analogies to American politics

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

When we get too involved in online matters, disconnecting from the internet and getting a hold of the real world is an analogy to the Greek Philosoper's work

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

ethical edit: For a toss-off gag that even I thought was a bit sketch, I'm learning a lot about this situation and I appreciate it

Edit: eg. the Apple ads

Actually this would be a neat mechanic in-game: everyone around you nopes the fuck out at the sight of you, especially if you killed them previously.

They don't know and they don't understand, but things are very firmly Not Ok.

Partly the cost of failure, possibly a strategic tool.

He might have run in 4 years. But assuming he doesn't want to run against an incumbent, he'll have to wait 8.
