  • Grow up and live your life free of internet nonsense like I am.

    Bruh I keep seeing your name pop up multiple times in this thread and you’re always complaining about getting downvoted as if it matters or something.

    You sound insufferable to be around and your comments read like someone who is compulsively online and just figured out how to base their personality around an edgelord DnD character.

    Seriously in one comment someone asked why you’re even here and you responded with “let it burn” or “watch it burn” or some variation of that. Straight up same energy as saying I brood in a dark corner of the tavern lol. Get that 2010 edgelord cringe out of here man. Take your ass to a gym and get out of that nihilistic funk

    The world may have a gun pointed at its head but that don’t mean you need to give it the ammo



  • Yeah then they switch to eating the douche, then switch back to the turd. It’s just a constant flip flop between the worst choices cause the electoral college and fptp voting we use are a cluster fuck that leads to terrible results and nobody except the wealthy getting what they want. Because people can’t be bothered with understanding cause and effect of actions and policies because the people on the tv told them what to think already.

    And then Republicans cut taxes to rich again.

    And then democrats don’t do or can’t do anything again

    And the Republicans raise taxes for everyone else

    And then democrats still do nothing except maybe hint at giving us free health care

    And the Republicans repeal climate change bills

    And the democrats still do nothing but act like maybe they might legalize weed even though they wont

    And then a school gets shot up

    And then no one cares

    And then Republicans are elected

    And then democrats are elected

    And on and on the world turns and we confirm time is just a flat circle where we do the same thing over and over again until we all die or start a revolution and then watch the same cycle repeat just with new names.

    Everyone constantly bickering over stupid shit not realizing the real issues are caused by the people high up in the ivory towers holding all the wealth and resources


  • The only reason people get worked up over pineapple on pizza is because there are extremely few places that do it correctly. Most just open a can of frozen chunked pineapples, plop it on and hope for the best. It makes the dish disgusting. Also doesn’t help that certain areas of the world prepare the rest of the pie in a completely different manner resulting in very different flavor and texture experiences. A Chicago style with pineapple would be very different from new york style with pineapple.

    I’ve also had properly made pineapple pizza before and subjectively speaking, it was just ok at best. Not anything to rave about or get up in arms about, honestly pineapple has more than just sweet in it’s flavor so it still tastes off and doesn’t vibe well with the rest of the ingredients like your other examples do. Only a select few people will like it. Probably the same reason most fruits aren’t used with pizza like strawberries or cantaloupe.

    Combine both those things together though and you get a recipe for a controversial dish.


  • I think it’s more practical in terms of being used for layering with kevlar to reduce overall weight of a piece of body armor. While at the same time making it cheaper and more cost effective than traditional body armor materials as mentioned in the article.

    So rather than this being used as an upgrade to kevlar (which with more testing it might be able too) it’s more like a side grade to reduce costs, as mentioned in the article silkworm silk is already used on a commercial and industrial level for other applications.

    Granted it’ll probably be a good few years before the silk being made by these genetically modified worms is both made consistently and is more refined with further testing and then distributed. But still it’s something that material scientists will likely put to good use for reducing costs in lots of fields.



  • You’re probably right and it’s worth it for them to do so. But at the same time I’ve also come to realize that companies are fucking stupid.

    On multiple occasions at multiple jobs I’ve worked. I’ve watched managers implement awful policies and procedures that percentage wise increased revenue in one sector but decreased it in another by a smaller percentage. However the sector that was decreased was orders of magnitude larger than the sector that got a percebtage increase. So in reality when it came to the actual Dollar amount we actually lost a fuckton of revenue for multiple years until someone spoke up about it.

    Idk if that’s the case or not with this stuff. I’m just tired of feeling like every annoyance and detail in life is just another stupidly planned out attempt by a corp to try and manipulate another dime out of me


  • I really want to find out who these psychologists are studying to come up with these findings. Anytime the layout changes or items are placed in obtuse places that make no sense I just get pissed off. I start brisk walking and scanning the aisles faster than normal and ignoring stuff even more. A lot of times I just say screw it and leave without buying anything out of spite. Then go buy the item elsewhere. A month or so later after they move all the stuff around again, I’ll randomly find the item in the dumbest place ever, but no longer need it now.

    Like I don’t want to be shopping, I hate navigating around idiots that block entire aisles for no reason. It’s not a leasurely or fun experience. I understand why they want me to stay longer, but they don’t seem to understand that no matter how many times I look at the same stupid products my wallet and the lack of fucks I give about their stupid products far outweighs the amount of time I stare at it.

    So tired of of having my time wasted by marketing analytics that report a 1% increases if such and such stuff is done. Makes me feel like I’m trapped in an MMO with only hardcore players who optimize their builds for the smallest negligible increases. It’s exhausting
