Yes, and there’s actually some interesting results from this too. Pain medicine marketed as targeting specific pains, such as headaches or toothaches, are often just generic ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but there is some evidence that the pain medicine will be more effective if you believe it is targeting your specific pain. So whenever my wife wants an Advil I always tell her that it’s a special Advil that is for whatever specific thing she complained about.

Men with beards* tend to only eat out other men.
My sister keeps making my siblings do this and when Bard (gemini) came out she kept making it talk about marrying us should I be worried
The Costco multivitamins have the faintest hint of the smell and taste of those old vitamins, and it always gives me a rush of nostalgia.
They have the rounded bodies like east coast daddy long legs (harvestmen), but eight legs like the west coast daddy long legs (cellar spiders)? I’m beginning to think this Far Side comic isn’t that accurate

Opensource@programming.dev•Adafruit: Arduino’s Rules [New ToS] Are ‘Incompatible With Open Source’
3·1 month agoIntel kinda did for a while there, though they’re recovering. (Completely lost corporate direction led to the share price halving)
I must say, the legs on that last bird are amazingly accurate, perhaps the best depiction of any bird I’ve seen!
It’s an old-fashioned but beautiful word for a bag with different things in it.
The west coast city I live in is just a little further north than Philadelphia and has a very Mediterranean climate so this puts that into perspective for me.

Lemmy Shitpost•Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough
6·2 months agoI actually loved my Kin Twom. Didn’t require a data plan, had a decent camera, was a joy to text on.

We’re a good Christian nation! Our children should only be learning Church numerals!

politics •Top Republican says the Epstein files release is Democrats’ ‘entire game plan’ to bring down Trump
14·2 months agoThis was disgusting to read. For one, arguing in any capacity that it is acceptable to rape children between the ages of 11 and 14, and that it’s not a church problem because most of those children were boys, is absolutely heinous.
But they don’t stop there!!?! They essentially brush over that 22% of victims WERE prepubescent?! That’s still many thousands of pedophiles, even if you want to argue that most of the rapists are um actually hebaphiles?!
Yeah, I can confirm that that email was part of the release on house.gov. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030716 in the zip archive here: https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-additional-epstein-estate-documents/
I think it comes from an old joke about finding someone worse than Hitler. A version of it was made pretty popular by the American version of The Office.
If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice.
I kept reading it as NFT-able firewalls and could not for the life of me figure out what that would entail.
Can’t say whether another state banned them, but they’re still on almost all my bread products in northern California.












The ones who say that are for government tyranny when it’s the tyrants they like in power.
