Neat, a yellow langolier

I agree with the title, but what you described seems more just like establishing agreed upon definitions.

Steelmanning is when you try to find the strongest possible framing/argument for a position you disagree with, and then arguing against that. That's why it's the opposite of strawmanning (i.e. arguing against a weak/inaccurate version of the opponent's view). One is an argument against a particularly generous framing, the other an argument against a particularly harsh framing.

Just restating a view in a way your opponent agrees with isn't quite that. That's not generous or harsh, it's just neutral.

Phone calls. The combination of audio compression, noise, and microphone/speaker quality make it extremely frustrating to have phone conversations.

To be fair, the shaft is typically mostly hairless, so unless you're going for the balls (which is appreciated obviously) it's not much of a factor. The pussy is under the bush, so if it isn't at least trimmed I'm gonna be getting a lot of hair in my teeth, which is not ideal.

Refusing to go down on trimmed bush is kinda wild, but refusing to go down on an untamed forest isn't all that unreasonable. It can be very distracting.

I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is

I. Hate. Sauerkraut.

The only thing preventing the entire world from being stuck in complete, abject despotism is that these people are often at each other's throats. When they collude, everything they touch turns to garbage.

That's the hope. I'm sure there are a handful of billionaires who are decent enough people, tech co-founders who didn't get all weird about the tech money. But the other 98% are legit sociopaths. They can't co-exist for long, they're all secretly undercutting each other. It's in their nature.

One possible future is letting the dragons fight it out, and picking off the stragglers. Fingers crossed 🤞

I think it depends on where you get your meat, eggs, and dairy.

A proper farm where the animals are kept safe, healthy, and happy for longer than they'd live in the wild, and in the case of meat killed quickly and painlessly? That could be considered morally okay.

Factory farms where they lead short, filthy miserable lives, constantly being bred to maximize milk production? Nah, that is not morally okay.

I mean, we're gonna end up on economics and politics when we're cuddling afterward.

Oh shit we were supposed to get dressed?

"Christ, What an Asshole refers to a frequently used caption in parodies and remixes of comic strips, particularly the one-panel comics published by the New Yorker... The original blog posits that the phrase can be applied to any New Yorker cartoon, while others say it extends to just about any comic."

For me it's the hands. My hands are pretty big even for my size. I've shaken maybe 3 or 4 hands bigger than mine, and it's a bizarre experience every time.

Blessed to witness Pug's discordian awakening.

Did this offend you?

Same. I nearly got sent to one of these when I was 14. Dodged a bullet

I'm a largeish dude, 6' 230lb. Sometimes I'll see a person that looks like a baby deer and wonder how we're the same species.

To be fair, I also studied webcomics. I learned of the meme from internet webcomic-adjacent content.

Its a perennial favorite for those who don't know what what to say

Christ, what an asshole

Door Dash customer service is trash. Used them one time, driver dropped off the wrong order, best that customer service could do was a partial refund as credit. Did a charge back through my bank and uninstalled the app.
