How else are we going to work 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make our rent payment and buy eggs?
Corporate States of America. In a capitalist society such as ours you will be offered products like this because, you see, you have the right not to buy it. DOES NOT MATTER that it's inherently bad for you like seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, etc because it is a choice. Tread carefully as these companies are working 24/7 to get you hooked on something.
Just close your eyes and pretend the vibrating is a roller coaster and that you're having fun like the rest of us.

This will be all of us sitting with our grandchilden one day, I'm sure of it. My grandmother told me once how shen she was young pants wasn't really a thing for schoolgirls. So she went to school at winter in kneehigh wool socks. She also worked at 8 years old as a maid for a widowed gardner. (She hadn't seen the Monty Python bit The Four Yorkshiremen, I promise 😄)

I would absolutely have gotten in trouble for this if I had ever done it. However, I can’t say I wasn’t tempted a few times throughout my childhood. I’m just glad I never did it; neither egging nor toilet papering someone’s house would have been worth it for any reason!

With numbers this huge, it’s safe to assume that millions of them log in for the funny content, which there is undoubtedly an abundance of online. But there is arguably more than just humor that attracts us to the internet.
According to Dr. Noam Shpancer, professor of psychology at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, the internet technology draws us in by tapping into four elements that are inherently attractive to human beings: information, immediacy, connection, and novelty. “We like answers to questions, and the internet has them; we like speedy gratifications—one click takes you to an answer; we like to connect with people, our friends, but also role models and interesting strangers; we like novelty and are stimulated by it. The internet offers endless variants of whatever stimuli you enjoy,” he told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

If you don’t vaccinate your children, and they get a deadly disease you should go to prison
To be fair, in most civilized countries if you don't vaccinate your children, you WILL have some legal problems, or at least CPS will be interested in you
Load More Replies...I'm Gen X and we weren't even allowed to enroll in school each year, unless we had up to date vaccination records. Every year right before school would start, Mom would have to take all of us to the doctor. They would go over our records and give us a vaccination for whatever we needed for the school year. One of the fastest ways to p**s Mom off was to start that Anti-Vax b******t. Mom was born in 1933 and knows firsthand what life was like before vaccinations were available to EVERYBODY and not just a select few. She was more than happy to give idiots a reality check on what life was like back then, especially if you were poor as f**k like how she grew up.
The problem is that these memories are now two generations away and people are starting to forget. Also a problem for other things that happened in 1933 in Germany atm.

If your child catches a deadly disease that the U.S. and the world had basically irradicated through vaccines, you deserve any consequences that happen to you
Mom would take us August of each year before school would start, because until we graduated high school it was a requirement just to enroll for the school year. Back then they did NOT play around with that BS....No Vaccination, No School. Bonus: If your child was NOT enrolled in school each year, you would have to provide a Valid certification for Home Schooling or Exemption on why your child was NOT attending school. Otherwise, it would be considered a truancy and Mommy and Daddy, would be held responsible and would have DHS (Oklahoma's version of CPS) knocking on your door. We had an honest to God Truancy Court, if you did not have a VALID reason for missing that date, then it would allow DHS an opportunity to inspect that home. Before people get wound up, they encountered more cases ranging from Sheer Neglect, to outright all kinds of ABUSE. Surprise Inspections would give and allow DHS and Law Enforcement the chance to really see a home, before that person had the chance to clean up.
F kin anti vaxers should all be locked up for child abuse THINK ABOUT THAT !
Locking people up because they've been conned into false and harmful beliefs does not strike me as a way to make the world a better place. But if you do want to go down that route, I've got a *very* long list of false and harmful beliefs which should result in imprisonment. I'd start with the source of those false and harmful beliefs. I'd start by locking up all the fossil fuel company bosses and carry on from there. Fast food. Anyone spreading race hatred or other forms of xenophobia. Anti-vaxxers certainly are on my list, but nowhere near the top.

Spoon feeding loose, individual ingredients? 🤨 K. I won't try to explain how chemistry and vaccines work, but if/when your kid gets measles/mumps/rubella or polio, which were largely eradicated decades ago thanks to vaccines, and the present generation of doctors who have little to no experience recognizing signs of such diseases are less prepared to help, I hope your kid gets to live without lasting damage or disability caused by these easily preventable diseases.
Talking about the ways the internet affects our psychological well-being, Dr. Shpancer suggested that, like all technology, it can be used for good or ill. “The effects of internet use will depend on several factors, including rate, context, and purpose of use,” he said.
“If you use it too much, it may negatively affect your mood and or distract you from important life tasks. If you use it in the wrong time or place, it may hinder your learning or create conflict; if you use it for illicit purposes, you will inflict damage on society.”

My office mate just stropped because her scanner suddenly stopped working - I let her sulk for a day before pointing out the USB cable was not fully in after she had tried to unplug it and replug it to "make it work". I let her stew because she printed off a document that was emailed to her and then wanted to scan it back in and the stupidity left me floundering.
It does something else, too: ensure that the cable wasn't loose. First thing I do when something hardware-related isn't working is to unplug all of the cables and plug them back in, because just checking that they are plugged in is insufficient. (...I blow on them too, and the ports, but that's not because it does anything: it's because I'm from the NES generation and I can't help myself.)
That's not as funny as the IT guy telling his customer to pack the computer and accessories back in the boxes and send it back when he found out the customer had no electricity.
Heck, bed sleepy doesn't translate to actual sleep. Hence why I'm writing this at 3 am.
Also that when you're reading in bed, catch yourself falling asleep so immediately turn out the light you will then be wide awake.
For real. I absolutely hate this phenomenon! Who's with me? I'll get really tired suddenly working at my desk and sometimes fall asleep at my chair and wake up later with all manner of muscle aches due to weird posture while sleeping. But if I get up and go lay on the bed for that quick 10 minute recharge, nothing. I suddenly cannot fall asleep but I'm not crisp either. What the heck.
Well, when you succumb to couch sleepy, when you wake up, bed sleepy is impossible for another 12 hours when you’re doing whatever you do at 12 pm
it does for me. you need to master the level of laziness i have achieved to fell this.
So true, I can fall asleep in 5 minutes on the couch - in bed 30 minutes!

The same way the internet can be used for good or ill, it has certain advantages and disadvantages, too. According to Dr. Shpancer, the main one of the former is that it provides everyone with access to information, something that in the past was the domain of the privileged few. However, there are disadvantages, too, starting with the fact that it does not sort good from bad information. “And since bad information is easier to produce than good information, over time it comes to dominate the digital space, sewing confusion,” Prof. Shpancer noted.

They were found deceased in their own laundry room. They had been in that state for more than a few days. Please don't let this happen to you.
For some people that is a downside. Humans are social animals. This isn't to say we should work more. We should work less hours and have more free time.
LIke what, Ms. Hogan? Do you mean saving the environment a bit by not needing to buy gas to get to / from work, and saving the wear and tear on a car?

Saving our sanity by not having to deal directly with office politics, maybe?

If you tell a woman you're against abortion and immigration, you've just told her you're a racist misogynist with no empathy. In other words, you're a Trump supporter. She should run. Fast and far.
It's not necessarily racist. When the UK was in the EU, people were upset about immigration from Eastern Europe (who were largely Caucasian, like the majority in the UK). Immigration is a much more complicated issue than skin colour; indeed, different religions and cultures are presenting a bigger issue.

While I agree on the "smart move" take, I disagree as to the cause of male loneliness. Men are not alone because we hate women. We are alone because we are not taught at a young age to put effort into our friendships with other men. You can be single and not be lonely. You can even be an incel and not be lonely. So long as you have a community of people with you (and not just randos online). I am a man who after I split from my ex I realized that I had put all of my effort into that failed relationship, and had neglected all of the my other relationships. I was quite lonely for a while, until I started getting involved with larger community groups. I decided then before I started dating again, I would first build up my own community of friends around me, and then work to maintain those friendships. Now I have a great community of like-minded people around me, and a girlfriend who understands the importance of those relationships as well. Just as her friends are important to her.
Absolutely astounding how many people think woman's body autonomy is about politics. Men's sperm has the same potential for life and a lot more of their sperm equate to life than 1 egg. But we don't ever hear anything about men jacking off and throwing it in the trash or washing it down the drain being a crime. F*****g b******t and has nothing to do with life and all about control, submission and the patriarchy.

“Another advantage is that it allows people to connect where in the past they wouldn’t be able to, and helps maintain connections that would otherwise wither. A disadvantage is that it may reduce people’s reliance on face-to-face contact, which has unique psychological and social benefits,” Dr. Shpancer continued.
“Another advantage is that the abundance of available connections on the internet—for example, in online dating—may provide people with a rich array of options. The disadvantage here is that over-abundance is stressful for human beings, and tends to reduce our confidence and satisfaction in our decisions.”

Needless to say, the director of our Group loudly chewed them out and told them to get the fuses here now. He didn't care if they had to come from a competitor. Needless to say, they lost the contract, and the competitor that actually stocked those fuses and brought full sets of them on calls got the contract. Even though they were more expensive.

If there is one thing on the internet people should—and many arguably already do—take advantage of, it’s humor and the abundance of memes and other kinds of funny content that is shared online.
“People like to laugh,” Dr. Shpancer told Bored Panda. “Humor elevates mood, reduces stress, and delights our senses—particularly through the element of a pleasant surprise—and facilitates interpersonal connection.
“A genuine laugh can’t be willed, it has to be elicited, and we tend to feel closer to, and good about, those who elicit it for us. If we are both in on the joke, we both get it, then we are in essence allies. It feels good—and is also essential to our psychological health—to have genuine allies.”

I've learned that when I was in college, my only responsibility was my classes and my self. (I was fortunate enough to not need a job at the same time.) Now I have a job, a husband, kids, a house, pets, etc etc... I have soooo many more things demanding my time & attention, and that's the trouble... my mental bandwidth is over capacity.
I don’t have a husband or kids, but I totally hear that. In college it was like, I am responsible for this small and specific set of things. Now I’m 44.

I'd wager any given car model that was simultaneously produced in a Canadian plant and a US-american one had better build quality when it came from north of the border.
We're finding out with this possible trade war that most North American cars have parts that go across the border several times before final assembly. So I'm not sure there are many examples of purely Canadian car-maker or purely American.
Load More Replies...Free Healthcare! Because not being afraid to go to the doctor's office because it might bankrupt you seems like a better product to me.
Just to clarify: INCLUDED health care. It's not free. Our taxes cover it so every single person is cared for, regardless of their work, income or health status. And the USians think our taxes must be exorbitant to cover it, but they are not. Mostly because our health care is NOT FOR PROFIT, so we don't gouge prices on the backs of the poor. Our health insurance pays the medical providers what the medical procedures actually cost, not adding several hundred percent profit to it for shareholders. FOR PROFIT health care is just beyond the pale.

You ate them and didn't suffer ill effects. Seems pretty edible to me.
Reminds me of the time a few weeks ago, my granddaughter was easting a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. She had removed the foil wrapper, but missed removing the paper liner. After chewing for a bit, she remarked that part of it tasted weird. I had her spit it into my hand and then told her that it wasn't weird chocolate - it was paper. 🤭

This is why I didn't want to learn Q or R. Way too many results returned. With Python, however, the extraneous results can lead to amusement (and if you don't know, the language was named after the comedians).
As a certified old guy this makes me both sad and jealous. When I was a programmer we were inventing the web. I had a whole shelf of language reference manuals (worked simultaneously in 5 different languages). We spent ridiculous amounts of time trying to figure out how to use those weird functions that weren't described beyond their name and parameters. It was a wild and unruly time in the computer industry. I left the industry in 1998 - ironically the year that Google search launched.

Load More Replies...I suspect that part of the reason you have no hobbies is because you're worried about whether or not you have talent. You can suck at things. You have my permission. ;) Especially hobbies - nobody even has to know! Just try a bunch of things until you find something you enjoy. Maybe in 10 years you'll be talented, but it doesn't really matter - at least in 10 years you'll have 10 years of doing something you enjoyed.

I believe it's a reference to the fact that many toothpastes are "mint"-flavored. So some people will say "Eww, MINT ice cream?

I am NOT defending BP (as I also find the stuff they censor to be a little ludicrous) but it's not directly "their" fault (so to speak), it's from the pressure from the companies that pay to advertise on their site. Those companies don't want to risk that words like addict, drúgs, knób, äss, änus, díck, kíll, suícide, sèx, etc. might be "associated" with their company, if they bought ad space on a site that allowed those words uncensored. It's silly because it ends up censoring legitimate words like knób - which are the things one uses to pull drawers out - but oh no! it's also an insult in the UK! gotta ban it! And Díck, which is an old-school and completely legitimate nickname/short form for the name Richard, but again! Oh noes! Can't have that word on a site where car companies or makeup companies advertise, because people might associate the word "díck" with their company if they see their advert and the word "díck" on the same webpage! It's ludicrous, but it's why it happens.
