Is the word you are looking for “confirmation bias”?
Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18


Is the word you are looking for “confirmation bias”?


I also always see people saying that having a coffee or a smoke helps them take a shit in the morning, because they wake up, have a coffee and cigarette and they take a shit… well, I wake up, don’t do either, and after 5-10min I take a shit too…


Where I was raised there wasn’t a taboo over coffee as a “drink for adults” (something that I learned from American movies and found quite funny). When I was a kid I’d drink coffee with milk because I didn’t care much about coffee, but nobody would bat an eye if I did… I also never understood that thing about people drinking coffee and getting energized. From what I learned, American-style coffee has about half the caffeine of the regular coffee we have here (Brazil), and not rarely I have coffee with bread or cookies before bed (if I didn’t have dinner and I’m feeling too lazy to make something). It doesn’t affect my sleep in the least and I never felt the least energized with coffee. I always thought this thing about caffeine getting you high was a joke from movies, but people in real life do seem to claim it :S (well, I do remember teens smoking oregano thinking it was pot and claiming to be high as well…)
ps: Nope, I’m not addicted to coffee. The regular breakfast here is coffee with bread and butter, but most of the time I don’t have breakfast before leaving so I don’t drink any coffee the whole day, and I go weeks without drinking it. If it isn’t to have coffee with bread, cookies or biscuits, I don’t have coffee at all.


I’d say they are even lobbying for that, anyway, average congress member age in the USA is 57 and in the EU is 50. Those aren’t boomers.


Boomers are retiring, and all Big Tech CEOS from the last 10 years are Gen X (a few Millennials too)


“Hey, you there with the nose”


Whenever I saw millennials in the 2010s complaining about planking, harlem shake, ice bucket challenge, and then tiktok dances early this decade, saying kids are stupid and shit, I remember we were jumping at bushes, going downhill on shopping carts getting wrecked at curbs, and actively hurting ourselves in many ways, because we saw that on the television lol


So… have you heard about Jackass? Everyone tried those at home lol


If people would use (and admins allow, and devs implement on mobile clients) the language tags we already have I would be happy already.


minimum and maximum body temperature (we are measuring humans, not the environment). I thought mentioning 50 as “normal human temperature” it was clear I was talking about body temperature


I should have specified minimum and maximum body temperature. Doesn’t matter where you are from, if your body temperature is like 15ºC or 45ºC you will hardly survive, and majority will die way before that.


Celsius was designed for water. A human scale would be like 100 = maximum temperature human is expected to be alive and 0 = minimum temperature human is expected to be alive (and 50 normal human temperature, so the scale isn’t even linear).


I swear people downvoting here would be upvoting articles saying “finally with auto target this FPS game fixed the problem of how hard it is to spot enemies”


“finally, decent inventory management” BULLSHIT! Diablo 2 inventory management is great, what they did now is give more slots because whiny modern players CAN’T MANAGE their inventories FOR SHIT!
This loot filter though, looks great.


But have you ever seen someone who is not far left using the term estadounidense/estadunidense?
It’s like when you ask if someone smokes and the person says “smoke what?” you already know he’s a pothead xD


Are you saying science gaslights society into thinking it’s more enlightened?


When they aren’t imperialist bootlickers.
ps: In Portuguese, United States is Estados Unidos - hence estadounidense.


In my country you can know someone’s politics just by knowing if they call people from the USA americanos or estadounidenses.

At one time, a man seeing a female fully naked was the equivalent of a man seeing a female today too… because, you know, everyone was fully naked all the time, clothes hadn’t been invented yet…
