I’d like to think that I wouldn’t, but I guess you never really know until you’re in the situation. Family would make the equation harder as well, I think I’d be much more willing to trust a stranger with my life rather than the lives of my nieces and nephews.

Would you press the button?

Truth be told I’ve never really read up on him, I only recognized the joke because they make a similar one in the movie Captain Fantastic lol

For anyone unaware, this joke references a conflation of the Spock we all know and love with Dr. Benjamin Spock, who wrote some of the most prominent books on child rearing.

This is just misinformation, Linda Yaccarino confirmed that Twitter is down from 140 million daily users at the end of 2022 to 121 million daily users now.

Of course, I’m mostly joking. I feel like many people who live in areas with both cardinals and blue jays are told when we’re young that they don’t get along very well and we just pick a side and stick to it lol. I love seeing blue jays too, or any corvids really. Much better than seeing all the invasive birds in my area like European starlings.

This was my thought too except i thought bluejay. Bluejays are super pretty, but people who live around them know that they’re giant assholes lol.

Charisma is being able to sell a fruit salad with tomatoes in it.

Just like God intended

I love the prestige, but Interstellar was his best work in my opinion. Definitely gone downhill since then, although I still enjoyed Oppenheimer. Tenet hurt my soul

Just for the sake of information, the two common ways to put this in English are “How it feels” and “What it feels like”. The former phrase is just descriptive, so it doesn’t need the “like” at the end. The latter phrase is comparative to another thing, so it needs the like. Also this is something that native speakers mix up all the time, so don’t worry too much; your English is great!

No, the number comes from a macroeconomics text book written by Gregory Mankiw and its based on research by Harvey Brennan studying the correlation since the 1950s.

Economic instability has been found to increase overall mortality, infant deaths, fatalities from cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis, suicide, and homicide as well as morbidities, alcoholism and admissions to mental hospitals. M Harvey Brenner has publications studying the phenomenon going all the way back to the 50s if you’re interested in the scientific literature.

For everyone saying “A 50% increase in unemployment would only take us from 3.8% to 5.7%, that’s not bad” keep in mind that 37,000 people die for every 1% increase in unemployment. This man is essentially wishing for the deaths of 70,000 americans.

Edit: just realized he’s probably talking about Australia from his accent. Not sure about the numbers for Australia on unemployment deaths, but I imagine the point should still stand.

I literally heard this comic in Joel Havers voice

The context is that little frog guys make everything better

Having worked for a state government which maintained data for federal submissions in 15 different versions of the same giant excel file on 15 different computers, it’s scary how accurate this is.
