It’s true. I’m only here because I’m a loser with sporadic social skills and a tendency to think much better of my ‘average at best’ intellect. I’m like a John Smith here.

I mean, most countries drink 3-5 (some 7) years before Americans. By 21, people have kind of gotten over it and having beers for weekend chats and hangs is just normal. Drinking with intent or excitement to drink doesn’t exist without underlying mental issues.

This advertising wouldn’t exist because it would be aimed at actual kids and teens. Whereas in the US you join the military, kill people for them, then after a few years of that, you’ve earned a beer with some alcohol in it.

The Framework laptops have been selling out with backlog orders now. But with new models recently out, all the Linux ones sold out well before the Windows ones.

I think it just kind of goes to say, if you know a bit about computers, Linux is a go-to. Of course those that are a bit tech-savvy as well would just get a Windows one, clear it off and install the distro of their choice. Plus once upgrade is done, my OS and files are all there like nothing happened. Things like setting up Windows again on a new device or new install is like a full day task.

And dogs,so long as they’re rabid, which should never be up to a cat to decide.

Can’t blame her

Definitely a 100% male audience.

In someone’s head, this is a situation for an ER.

I hope they waited hours and hours because they just never made it off bottom priority.

Oh, dear. The WHO is gonna have to shut down Danish borders so the disease doesn’t spread.

I fear it may be too late, though. Perhaps the US can shut itself off to the rest of the world.

Ironically actual meta

That’s the Napoleon… All the kids with Sherlocks are doing it.

It’s argued it already is opt-in. That’s the ‘Agree’ button.

Congratulations to the 2026 Poster Contest Top Five Place Winners

First Place — Christin Billips, Westerville

Why’s there a human name in first place?

Yeah, we know. Is the FBI now just the FB?

Maaaaan. If only I were rich and living in the US. It’s a new frontier of snake oil.

Just get in His Majesty’s good graces and go to town.

Prophecy implies the Antichrist would be polling much better.

But also, the middle-eastern man named “John” had no fucking idea what the fuck America even was when he wrote all that. And it’s a very young religion too.

Yeah, right.

They’ve been saying this for years…

“Scientists” alright? Pff

lights a cigar with a barrel of crude oil

Idiots.

Place them beneath your nostrils, with eyes closed, you become more in tune with your own breathing.

This worked, but only because I was blocking off my breathing. I think it was a classic “instructions unclear” moment lol. Elaborate?

The bent back wrists is a gentle stress position that stretches the arteries on the inner wrist, sending feedback to the nervous system to adjust heart rate.

This one I get and is true.

The debrid goes without saying.

I should’ve mentioned that, but any of the guides for the 5-10 min setup include them.

Prob the only real effort in it is checking which one works best in your region. They all do, but some have better bandwidth than others.

Keep in mind too, my solution is the “your grandma can cancel her subs and do this right now in a few minutes” deal for the loungeroom telly. Set it up recently for my Aunt, catching up for lunch, along with SmartTube. A few months before, installed an adblocker extention. Life changers.

That does explain the kneeling and optional head bowing.

Got my theories on the eye-closing, but they’re centred around primal mammal submission or a capacity limitation requiring focus on one task at a time.
