Just fyi, I think you might mean “pithy” unless you were going for an onomatopoeia

I love this guy. From a different interview with him:

The part of this I am fine with is these poor regions are getting tourist money.”

He’s also quick to add that he has nothing against the super-centenarians – as people who are 110 or older are known – themselves.

“I think they’re the best part of this! They’re having a grand old time. What have you got to lose if you’re 96 and you can pretend you’re 119 and the whole world just goes along with it? What are they going to do – put you in jail?

…

“If someone’s selling you something to get the power of longevity, ignore them,” he concludes.

We already know what to do to increase our chances of a long, healthy life, anyway: “Don’t smoke or do drugs. Don’t drink. Do some exercise. That’s all you need to do. Maybe see your GP once a year.”

“There’s no other secret. I think everyone knows that deep down. The blueberry is not going to save you.”

Well said.

My dad has been saying that ck was never impolite, never insulting, never sarcastic, but tell me his last words weren’t sarcastic and racist.

I’m of two minds about celebrating his death, in that I do, but I agree that people cheering vigilante killings is a sign of an unhealthy society. We definitely have an unhealthy society, and it seems like there’s not a functioning justice system for prosecuting people who foment hatred or commit societal murder, but this could lead to an American Reign of Terror, which would obviously be tragic.

That said, there’s a difference between being glad someone’s gone and declaring war on half of the political spectrum. I won’t say it definitely didn’t happen, but I didn’t see anyone suggesting that we take revenge for that senator, even on Lemmy. Certainly not in as widespread a manner as I’m now seeing it for Charlie Kirk.

Spending time on a website where you enjoy 0.5% of the posts you see is not broadening your horizons though, it’s just hanging out somewhere you don’t like being.

“May well” absolutely indicates the right level of certainty, but feels a little informal to me. I don’t know if that’s universal, but particles in English almost always strike me as more for the ear than for the eye. Though given that this is from a speech, I’m just overthinking it, lol

There’s not a good modal verb in English to describe a likely consequence. “Will/would” are definite, ”can/could” are maybes, and “may/might” are (less likely) maybes. “Ought” and “should” signify moral(ish) perspectives and would probably be editorializing. I might use “dürfte” in German, but I’m not sure that would be right.

They probably shouldn’t have tried to rephrase it with a modal verb at all, or maybe “will likely.”

They also made great glassware

Where’s the lie?

Oh dang, I saw that post earlier and thought it was probably just him repositioning his hands, but it really was my phone not having enough resolution.

Edit: although the motion interpolation also makes sense. I withdraw my comment, because I frankly don’t know enough about ai nor do I have good enough eyesight to responsibly have a position on this.

I’m older than Laura loomer, and I’m a very pale smoker who doesn’t wear sunscreen. She looks at least a decade older than I do.

Edit: I remembered her name!

What a sad ratio of votes. Why spend your life hanging out on a website you dislike?

Hell of a way to set an example

If you’re physically up for it, doing a bunch of jumping jacks hits the perfect combination of using up adrenaline and making my lungs hurt to replace emotional smoking. It’s not well received in public though.

You know what’s sort of depressingly funny? The country would be better off if he were jailed for speech inciting violence. Not this.

Just as France would have been better off throwing Louis XVI in jail, but it was basically impossible to do. I’m very concerned about our coming reign of terror, but I didn’t realize how the tension slowly builds until you want something, anything to happen and finally move past it. Of course, a good chunk of those who died by Guillotine thought they’d be able to move past it at some point.

Damn, Gavrilo Princip must be in super hell then

Yeah, I honestly don’t believe trump would have been able to not brag about it if he’d arranged it.

It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.

Really? It’s not new, at least. Vegans love to disagree about what specific things are vegan- some are cool with honey, some are cool with nestle products made without animal products, and some are cool with anything they don’t pay for. Many aren’t cool with any of that, but don’t think twice about killing a mosquito in their home.

It’s an individual choice and you’ve got to decide what you care about and prioritize that.

I had awful menstrual cramps the other day and my husband made bread pudding for dinner. It was incredible
