Right?

When that fuckhead gets incarcerated I want him sent to the military wing of Leavenworth.

I’m with you. That’s the clear solution, and it’s frustrating how many people overlook it!

I know a few Jacks (and a Jaques and 2 Jacobs) and, according to that wiki page, my experience is typical.

Do you have to possess below-average intelligence to be a member of sh.itjust.works, or is it just a good way to fit in?

In the article they state:

Using trigonometry, they had to create a new proof of the Pythagorean theorem, the 2,000-year-old rule that explains the relationship between the lengths of sides on a right triangle. No one told the teenagers that mathematicians had long considered this task “impossible.”

and THEN casually mention:

Two people had previously proved the theorem using trigonometry: Jason Zimba in 2009 and Nuno Luzia in 2015.

WTF?

Copper pipes only need replacing that often if a) you cheaped out on construction and used the thinnest kind (M-type, which isn’t even legal in some states), and b) you had some pressure issue along the way that left the pipes only partially full of water for a time.

God damn, it’s been a while since I’ve crossed paths with an honest-to-god rube! Keep on keepin’ on, you flickering bulb.

…and yet, as evidenced by the many back-and-forth discussions in this very thread, plenty of people do care enough to reread older texts and workshop theories to explain the discrepancy. YOU think that no one cares because YOU don’t care, but you are clearly wrong.

Not every method of viewing Lemmy shows things like that… all I see is “muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee,” no flags or whatever. Thankfully, I have a good memory - so I’ll be able to remember that you’re an international twat.

Is your skin this thin in real life, or only online?

I’d hazard a guess that they’re just taking pity on you for not having an older fridge. Many appliances made 25+ years ago are still working just fine, perhaps with a bit of maintenance, but nothing made in this century is built to last.

My mom’s fridge is over 30 years old, as are her washer and dryer, and all three are just chugging along like champs. My refrigerator is just about 25 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the gasket on the lower door needs to be replaced soon.

I live on an island in the Atlantic. There’s this beach cottage nestled in the dunes along the southern shore, and it’s been there for over a hundred years. The wealthy family that owns it no longer lives on the island, but they love the space and don’t want it to fall into ruin so they’ve had a series of caretakers for the past thirty years or so. The position is unpaid, BUT it comes with the freedom to use the property year-round. I was the caretaker for fifteen years, and a few years back passed the title down to a friend (so I can still visit.) It’s one of the most magical places on Earth, and every time I’m there it’s like my health and mana bars get refilled.

…has nothing to do with the OP’s question.

What you think about them, they think about you.

True, but irrelevant.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

Hard disagree - they have to be at least one of those things to be MAGA, usually both.

If they lived nextdoor you would probably find each other very pleasant.

Hah! They DO live next door and I most certainly don’t find them pleasant.

To be safe, we should just grind both of them into sausage…

Maybe I’m just not quite awake yet and am missing the joke… but did you seriously miss the fact that “Snrub” is just “Burns” in reverse?

Because (based on their post history) a few weeks back they had a crisis of identity and needed to do something - anything - to feel seen.

Sadly, they chose an annoying as fuck thing to harp on about in pursuit of being a special butterfly. Normally I’d just block and move on, but I want to observe this particular slow-motion tragedy as it unfolds.
