Meh, I was sixteen at the time and way more concerned with my friends laughing their asses off nearby

So I have a story for this, one I’m not proud of mind you, but it happened. One time in a lush store they had these bath bombs that were literally modeled to look like cupcakes, I remarked that they almost looked edible. A STORE EMPLOYEE replied with this.

SE: They are edible.

Me: what? No they’re not

SE: oh yeah they’re totally edible go ahead and take a bite

Me: wait really?

SE: yeah!

So I take a bite of the cupcake looking thing and immediately the bitter ass taste of soap fills my senses, my eyes are watering and I spit it out into the trash. I kid you not this was like a punch in the face, I was sweating, I felt a huge headache coming on and my nose was on fire. Again I’m not really proud of this but in my defence, I was a dumbass teenager and someone who I reasonably thought I could trust told me something to mess with me and I took the bait.

The employee was nowhere to be seen after that, obviously he saw my gullible ass actually did it and got out of there with a pep in his step and a smile on his face. As for me, I had a pounding headache and slightly lavender scented breath for the rest of that day.

This is a little helpful, but god that site has bad indexing and if you mention it even in passing prepare to bring down a shitstorm on your head

More or less, “keep ya big tech out of our pond” and all that

Finally!!! I’ve already been testing a bunch out, there are a few ones that arent working quite right but so many more that are

I know people are saying like bricks and wood and stuff, but if you don’t care how it looks, reams of paper are cheap and customizable, and even stable if you keep them in the plastic wrap and just slide out what you don’t need

Maybe it is, but I still think it’s garbage

Well it’s the first few days, let’s give it some more time before screaming sinking ship

Nope, and I know what you’re saying, but I personally consider the times to be garbage as a source or any journal for that matter as long as they charge a subscription fee. The simple reason is that if you’re going to share it with anyone, they can’t see it because of the fucking pay wall, that greatly diminishes its value to me

Why does anyone even still link to that trash publication?

Wait was it really 100k I thought the whole idea was it was super cheap to produce and buy because flat metal plates are way easier to manufacture

Do you really think any average citizen has any say in this whatsoever?

Also all those sites are still online and you don’t even need flash to play anything

Heel boy

I mean, that’s kind of what I was looking for as bad as that may sound, sometimes I just wanna spout out my shower thoughts without posting it to the showerthought community and getting bitched at that it’s not “shower thought” enough

Still not too early to return

See this one’s just called being butthurt

By calling it ridiculous he was colloquially challenging your whole “argument”. Though while a poorly presented claim itself You presumed that because your claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that the argument itself must be wrong.

This is called a fallacy fallacy

I’m just thinking of prior examples, such as how the internet was technically a military intranet before it got into public hands, or how radio and lidar technology was leagues ahead in the military before it became public

You think white folk don’t do cookouts?
