California is not the center of the universe, but in the US, a fair amount of companies have to tailor their practices to accommodate California law, because A) it’s so weird a lot of the time, and B) California is huge and rich, so there’s a lot of business to be had. It just makes sense to accommodate the outlier. What happens in California has knock-on effects for the rest of the country, and occasionally the rest of the world; case in point, the recent systemd debacle. It’s not certain that they added the age thing in response to the California law specifically, but it was certainly a factor.

Was expecting this link to be a Rickroll tbh

David Bowie is overrated.

Tell me you never interact with trans people without telling me you never interact with trans people

I dunno if it counts as “controversial” when at least one of the Beatles would have agreed with you

Room-temperature milkshake is just melted ice cream, which is still delicious.

It’s just been on the air for a really long time. I wanna say 15-20 years? Something like that?

Similar but different, we have a kitten and it’s funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don’t use it that often and I guess he hadn’t seen it in action before.

My wife and my cats. We got a kitten a few months after my older cat passed and it turned out to be a really good decision (even though he does drive us crazy sometimes, because kittens are basically toddlers with pointy teeth and claws and a 1-meter vertical leap). Not saying kittens are a cure for depression, but it helps.

1. You are doing exactly what the OP was talking about, looking down on something harmless
2. “Degenerate/degeneracy” are literal Nazi words and you should probably stop using them [Edit: formatting weirdness]

A slightly more positive way of putting this is “choosing the set of problems you want to deal with.” I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.

Her first name. I think I’m “Firstname Lastname” in her phone but my name is more common than hers.

You can also rub your tongue on your soft palate to stop a sneeze but it tickles

You are the first person I have ever met (other than my mom, who I learned it from) who does the “sleep upside down” thing. It totally works!

I worked in a grocery store deli that made sandwiches, and we’d precut meat “kits” for the popular sandwiches to save time during the lunch rush (like Cuban, Italian, etc). We’d slice them for whole sub sandwiches, and then if someone ordered a half sub, we’d just cut the kits in half and put the other half back in the drawer.

One day, a girl I’ll call “Becky” was working the sandwich counter, and someone ordered a whole Italian sub. There were no whole Italian kits in the drawer, but there were two presliced halves.

It took like three people to explain to Becky how to solve this problem, and even then I’m not sure she ever fully understood.

I live in the general vicinity of Waverly Hills Sanatarium, if that counts. Also one of my friends said she saw a ghost in this old apartment building I used to live in.

originates from an Okinawan island with the longes average lifspan in the world.

Are we sure that the lifespan thing isn’t just benefits fraud

Same. I’ve been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.

Fitness Adventure Pro for the Switch. Is it an amazing game? No. But it is a fitness game, which means I can get a workout without any equipment to set up and break down, and without having to leave my house. I’ve only been using it a few weeks and I can already feel a difference.

The “tastes worse from a press” is entirely dependent on the material of the press you’re using. Garlic reacts with stainless steel, hence those stainless steel “soap bars” they make to remove garlic smell from your hands. I got a zinc press for this exact reason.
