  • If it’s an organization-wide email group address that you’ve been added to, instead of reply-all, you can be extra chaotic by adding that group address as a BCC.

    Then just say something stupid like “could you please remove me from this group” so it doesn’t look like you know what you’re doing.

    It’ll spam the entire group, AND break any filters people have set up to delete/move/mark traffic hitting their inbox from that conversation.


  • Hopefully. But I’m not about to pretend I know where the positive feedback loops we’ve unleashed will go. Maybe the climate starts to improve a few decades after we’re all gone; maybe the greenhouse effect becomes so intense that planet earth becomes molten.

    Even extremophiles have their limits - we may well have set Earth on a trajectory that ends in absolute lifelessness. Hopefully not. Probably not. But we’ve taken the keys to the planet and drove it off a cliff… whether or not anything can be made from the wreckage remains to be seen. But not by us.











  • I’ve seen studies claiming that toilet seats are among the cleanest spots in a public restroom, and that slamming your bare ass cheeks down on those things is perfectly safe.

    I also work in an operating room, where we routinely chop condyloma off of people’s ass cheeks… albeit less commonly the cheeks than the hole, but enough times to showcase the fact that the cheeks are prone to spreading and contracting contact dependent pathogens.

    Those studies are bullshit - always build that toilet-paper-bird’s-nest on the public toilet seat.

     

    Edit - also if you get a skin tag that seems bigger than a normal skin tag, it’s probably not a skin tag. Get that shit looked at before it’s the size of a fucking golf ball. You’ll save yourself a lot of time, pain, money, and worry.



  • Yeah. Again, it’s a spectrum. Very few of them are 100% stupid or 100% evil.

    Some are more on the stupid end and don’t realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot; others are more on the evil end and even though they understand that they’re shooting themselves in the foot, they decide it’s worth it because they’re okay with their suffering if it means certain other people are dragged into suffering with them.

    I suspect a lot of the stupid we see is just a veneer to make the evil easier to sell. Look at Trump - we’ve given him the village idiot pass countless times… If he actually acted competently, the damage he’s doing would be way more obviously intentional, but so long as he plays a convincing enough dumbass, we’ll continue treating him like -just- a dumbass.

    We’re living the Darth Jar Jar theory and I fucking hate it.
