the next administration to reside in office

Unless the US’ current trajectory changes sharply, I don’t think there are going to be any more elections.

And what exactly would we do to help? Invade? Arrest your leaders? Station peacekeepers inside your borders?

Probably a bit like Dr Frankenstein, watching his monster lurch down the hill towards the village.

If a bidet user was also an Arch user, which would they tell you about first?

I didn’t realize “banal” was pronounced “ban all”

I was today years old…

For years I drove past a sign for Eastport on my way in to the city centre. No-one every mentions Eastport on the news. I decided it must be the single most boring suburb in the city.

Last year I realised the sign actually reads like this:

East

Port

And things finally clicked.

Lotta downvotes in this thread. Seems like some of you feel like I’m disrespecting your non-beliefs. 😜

That’s kind of the opposite of what atheism is about. It’s literally about evidence.

Maybe I’m being nitpick-y, but I think you’re pointing at one small part of the whole and saying “that’s it, right there. All of it”. Atheism is literally about what you don’t do - believe in any god. Some atheists come to that point through consideration and self-reflection. Others don’t.

I don’t like to see science presented as a belief system. Science is a tool for establishing fact about the natural world in a methodical and reproducible way. For debating the existence of gods, you need philosophy.

Atheism is simply the state of nonbelief in a deity.

Atheism is a spectrum too. At one end you have small-a atheists who would believe in a deity if presented with compelling proof. At the other end you have people with a fervent belief in no deities who would not be persuaded by evidence.

What are you going to do to prove it? Take a blood test?

And tardigrades, just to give you the warm fuzzies.

Also:

The easiest way to remove hairs from bathroom surfaces is with a slightly damp paper towel or microfibre cloth.

When cleaning surfaces:

1. Wipe down once with a damp sponge/cloth. This removes loose dirt and softens the hardened stuff.

2. Spray with a surfactant.

3. Wait five minutes to give it time to work.

4. Wipe again to remove remaining dirt.

If there’s something you can’t get off, use a harsher cleaner like Barkeeper’s Friend. Wear gloves when using that. I can’t unlock my phone with my thumbprint anymore.

People who complain about snowflakes are snowflakes.

…I don’t know what that makes me, for pointing out that people who complain about snowflakes are snowflakes.

I’m currently debating whether I need a whisk.

When you’re tired from work but you’ve still got to clean the whole thing to ‘protect your investment’.

I do, and I’m not even ashamed of it.

Why are American men so concerned about their masculinity? From the outside it doesn’t look like they have anything to worry about.

I believe your break finished two minutes ago, now go help Aaron clean up the vomit in aisle 9.
