the worst first world problem is searching for a thing, reading reviews and then getting tons of ads for that thing for MONTHS even AFTER you bought it I already bought the thing you're advertising I KNOW THE FEATURES and i know it doesn't work as good as your ads, but WHATEVER GO AWAY

Just to be clear: the current astronaut corps has 42 members, about half are women. If you flipped a coin to select the Artemis crew, you’d end up with at least one woman out of four. (we all know they don't BUT…) With Artemis II, NASA built huge positive mention. This just tanked it.

Whenever I hear someone say something is “not manly” I try to ask: why? What about it? If a man, any man, does any thing — that thing is manly. As it was done, at that time, by a man.

I still have a (very mild) personal vendetta against my college English professor, who told me I couldn't use the word "hermitude" because "you can't make up words". Yes, I can. I just did. And you know exactly what that word means, even though you never read it before in your life.

One of the things I love about #HealthvsHype is we get to cover things that people *hear about in their daily lives.* Then we get to the bottom of whether they are actually worth the time, money, or effort! #VO2MAX was one of those that surprised me

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two friends at a table in a bar. One of them says, “here we go.” Panel 2: He continues, “Derek is doing his pickup routine again.” Derek is person-sized anole lizard in a brown leather jacket. He’s at the bar, drink in hand, extending his dulap (the red, retractable piece of flesh under a lizards neck) at a woman sitting next to him. Panel 3: the two friends at the table are dumbfounded to see Derek successfully attracted this woman, and they are leaving the bar together.

Amazing earthshine tonight!! The moon looks dimly lit from the “back”! This happens because the Earth’s albedo (measure of reflection)! We reflect light from the sun onto the side of the moon that is facing us! We call it earthshine! That illumination makes it feel like a pretty bauble in the sky!

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

This is why AI girlfriends (and boyfriends) are not a “healthy alternative” to a human relationship. It’s a real relationship, yes, but with a robot. The AI will never tell you off bc it had a stressful day, will never disagree with your opinion because of beliefs / experiences… It’s. Not. Real.
