“For instance, the virus can directly cause death, Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Baltimore, told Live Science in 2016. The flu can also kill indirectly, meaning that the virus makes a person more susceptible to other health problems, and these health problems…

Did you get the flu after having breakfast? Maybe breakfast caused your flu.

It’s been a really long time for me too but if you get your license at 16 you can’t vote yet and you might not have to go to the dmv for years afterwards. So when you are actually of voter age you just never get around to it until you are motivated enough to do so. I wasn’t registered to vote until after I graduated…

... quality jokes similar to this one ...

This is so over-dramatic.

While I’m not the biggest fan of the heavy-handedness with which Windows is now applying updates, there is a very easy way to deal with this.

Too many people cling to the counterfactual of “any other Democrat”, while forgetting that Trump and his minions would have ruthlessly attacked and spun crazy conspiracy theories about any other democratic nominee too. We just didn’t see what the Trump cult was capable of against anyone else.

You’re assuming that a crew that forgot to pressurize the cabin gave a thorough pre-flight safety briefing.

This right here. Homeless or not, don’t be a fucking asshole. There is absolutely zero excuse for him to fling his used shaving cream onto the floor and the seats. ZERO. Making excuses for him does nothing to better his situation, in fact it only stand to make it worse by letting him believe this behavior is…

Right, most of the comments from locals are “Yea, I also hate when people do X bathroom routine on the train”.  Those stories are generally not about the homeless, they are about commuters who are wildly inconsiderate.  I have definitely been on trains with people in suits who shave, cut finger nails, use hair spray,…

From what I saw, most of the comments were “can you believe that this commuter is shaving on the train?” and weren’t shaming him...certainly not for being homeless. I don’t think any of the commenters realized that this guy was homeless. Riding NJ Transit gives you some interesting perspective on human behavior.

To be fair the video was made in the vein of all the incredibly rude and inconsiderate behavior of many NJ Transit riders in combination with awful and inconsistent service. See twitter feed FuckNJTransit for more.

Technically this particular origin is THE first origin story ever written about the Joker

Literally no one is creating a “definitive take on the origin of the Joker”, as evidenced by two movies in quick succession featuring different takes on the Joker coming a decade after a movie that itself included several different takes on the Joker’s origin and concurrently with comics where there are three…

That’s what kills me about people writing “articles” like this. What business is it of theirs how much someone chooses to give away, or who they give it to? No one made Bezos give that money away, so no matter if it was $1 or $2,000,000,000, it’s up to him to decide if and how he wants to use his money.

So he would have been better off keeping the $2 billion and doing nothing with it?  I mean there are plenty of appropriate grievances to be aired towards Bezos.  Be better Hamno.  This is fucking weaksauce.  

I don’t condone greed, but I also am not one who thinks it’s my job to tell Jeff Bezos what to do with his money. 

I found this headline to be much more trashy and manipulative than a typical Jezebel headline, and was sincerely surprised. Titles like this are why I refuse to read BuzzFeed. So far all my comments have been approved, so if this one isn’t at least we know why.

Sorry, maybe I didn’t explain the terms thoroughly enough: Predictive text is the bit that displays whole words right above the keyboard, which you can tap to finish the word without typing it all out. Autocorrect is the bit that changes what you actually typed (on the assumption that it’s wrong) to what the software…

Force-touch on your keyboard and you can move it around pretty precisely.
