Seriously? I’d just laugh and call them an idiot.

Change their titles to “Quality Control Engineers”

See, I was excited, because a few days ago, we were supposed to be Anti-Beyoncé, because she performed in the Middle East. (As someone who never got into her music, this possibility was exciting for me.) Now we’re supposed to be lamenting her lack of awards for a generational celebration of the minority culture she…

are you really saying that Beyoncé, coming where she came from, is less privileged and more queer than Harry Styles? And wrote a discourse about it attacking him just because you like Beyoncé better? 

Build a 60k foot wall on the Pacific Ocean - DUH!

Structural changes won’t solve the obesity epidemic. A healthy diet can be had with simple cheap foods available anywhere, even in the cities. Egg whites, beans, and leafy greens can be swapped out for 2 meals/day. 

TIL that Beyonce’s publicist works for AV Club. What a bunch of absolute nonsense about an artist who doesn’t write her own material, choreograph her own dance moves, design her own costumes or direct her own videos. 

It shouldn’t be embarrassing that you can’t fit in the sits but it definitely should be embarrassing to complain about it and for you or other to claim fatphobia when a theme park ride has engineering limits.

Did you know that there are engineers whose job it is to figure out how to keep the occupants of amusement rides safe as well as make them work properly? Universal has lawyers who try to figure out what could make their company liable for damages and work to prevent that from happening. There are accountants too, who…

I don’t think they intended that size to be standard, rather it’s about the smallest waist size possible for a healthy adult male of normal (meaning not a little person) proportions. It’s the lower limit of a range. I believe their issue is that 40" is only average if you include outliers like the morbidly obese who…

I await with baited breath to see this era of unbridled fat acceptance if not outright endorsement do the trick then. 

You'd think sore knees and diabetes would be enough.

The 40-inch waistline requirement is fairly standard at Universal Studios, where it’s also applied to dark rides like Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey and Revenge Of The Mummy: The Ride.

I was comparing S23+ to my ‘antique’ S10+. So the new one has a main camera that’s better, with far more megapixels than one will likely ever need (as per a very long time photographer). BUT - front facing camera is badly downgraded this year. The 10 overall has a much better, higher resolution screen. A family member…

I refuse to be a luddite, but I also just hate to see internal combustion thrown out. Anyone who claims that EVs are more eco-friendly than a modern ICE is fooling themselves.

Yeah my basic understanding is that, beyond buying things that are illegal and thus difficult to purchase with cash, there’s no practical reason to use crypto for normal day to day purchases, and it’s often a mess to try to do so due to the constantly fluctuating nature of crypto. Anyone who wants to use their crypto…

Right? If Andrew Zimmerman is still walking around without a fear for his life, nobody will do anything to this guy.

“What snitches deserve”?

If they thought it would sell any better, they’d probably do it. It’s not for lack of processing power. The complexity would be in having different structural and material models for each car. I wouldn’t want to model each car’s internals in detail just to make crashes look realistic if it wasn’t a serious demand. I…

A&W should double down on the parody and announce that they’ve heard from their customers, and they’re listening; Rooty the Great Root Bear is going back to being pantless! But, as Rooty has no visible genitalia, they will be switch to they/them pronouns moving forward.
