its to tell you the page is not accidentally blank. laying out text for a physical document has limitations on the page count and generally needs to be in multiples of 4 due to double-sided printing and paper stock options. if you have a layout that can’t cover the entire surface of your print media but you need to include the entire physical sheet, (especially if its a technical / legal document) its best to just say “there isn’t meant to be anything here, don't’ worry.” in so many words.
otherwise you get people calling / emailing being like “your form is missing a part! there’s a whole blank sheet when I print it out! >:(“
Kids are gonna be like “is that V for Vagina?” why not herald the reign of a new progenitor instead; or go full on with Mustofviganion the MMXI?”
Don’t give your children a stupid name or honorific that will just other them with their peers. no one in their life is gonna think its cool other than you, and its just gonna cause them grief growing up regardless of how innocuous it may be.
he wasn’t self demoted, he was demoted to the rank of captain as punishment for stealing and then losing the enterprise, but got a dispensation for saving Earth from the chatty whale probe.
in a post scarcity society with industrial scale matter replication and matter/antimatter power sources—why the hell not? I’m sure anyone could have one if they asked.
yall seriously need some media literacy classes. or basic reading comprehension classes.
NYT paraphrased some industry people who posited that Chinese manufacturing benefits from small lady hands. that’s literally just covering a story. they didn’t say “us can’t make stuff because we don’t have little china-fingers and only tiny-china-fingers can make the pocket computers.” they just reported that some unnamed assholes said that.
But like, the commercial said that making games is just sitting on a couch and pressing a sound board to add that one sound effect in level 3, so like I don’t know why they want money for it.
Almost as if the 50’s were being plagued by the same dumb rich out of touch assholes from the 1920s and it caused some trickle down issues for society down the line in the 90s. Turns out 35 years ain’t that long of a time in the grand scheme of things.
Conversely, I have never worked anywhere that paid bimonthly and only ever at places that paid biweekly, although a friend of mine did some years ago so… looks like there’s different payment schedules in different places—astounding.
I will say every single place i’ve worked has not paid enough to live in the modern era so at least that seems to be a consistent through-line.
90% of cyclists are irresponsible stupid dumb motherfuckers and I say that as a decade-long bicycle commuter. I hate most of them just as much as motorists hate them.
Fighting bears isn’t that common of an encounter. I’d be more worried about deer and coyotes or even a single cougar than the off chance of encountering a bear. They will definitely fuck you up but it’s not like they are starting their day to be like “Imma go murder a human” in the same way other urban-adjacent animals are—I think they just wanna get that sweet sweet pick-a-nic basket.
