I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

  1. by that logic people wouldn't need to wear seatbelts if they sat in a back seat in any car.

That logic is the exact reason in some places it is(was? My info is a few years old.) legal for adults in the back seat to not wear a seat belt. Not saying I agree with the logic, but that actually is the case in some places.

We mostly don't here in the US, either. It's not federally required for them to have seat belts, but that may change in the future based off things like the NTSB's recommendation.

Weather is too hot? It's because of global warming.

Weather too cold? Also global warming.

Literally yes. It's not our fault if people are too stupid to realize weather =! climate, are too skeptical to trust the science. Regardless of whether people believe it, it's literally the facts of the matter that global warming is the cause of these extreme weather events.

I'm really confused what your point is. Climate change deniers looking at objective facts and rejecting them because they can't comprehend a warmer climate could cause colder weather means they are fucking stupid, not that the facts are wrong. We don't need to play advocate for dumbassery

Maybe it's just cold because it's January?

January had been super mild near me, average lows in the 30s with actual average being like 50, up until this past week when the cold front came in from the north and literally overnight temps dropped to the negatives. I was closely monitoring weather radars this week, I literally watched the cold front coming in... and look at that, the cold front has finally mostly passed over me and it's once again in the comparatively balmy 30s, and supposed to be even warmer next week. Huh, guess it's not just because it's January, who knew?

The whole winter has been super mild actually, besides literally this weeks cold front it's been warmer on average than it would've been in early Autumn here 15ish years ago. We used to frequently get the first blizzard of the year in October, now it takes an abnormal cold front coming down from the literal arctic to even get a blizzard at all, in January! That's fucking alarming.

There are still thousands of infections daily(~35,000 in the first week of 2024), and thousands of deaths weekly. Unless Plague Inc. rules have changed, Covid hasn't lost yet.

It's not just that. Ovens cook with heat originating outside of the food, so the skin cooks(and cracks) before the inside gets hot enough to detonate. Microwaves on the other hand cook by exciting water molecules inside the food, and since the inside of the potato has way more moisture than the skin, it heats up much faster than the skin does.

The destruction is epic but I'm really not a fan of the only 2 game modes. Just give me classic TDM or something...

Not old enough, apparently. They originally were two wheels, and even when they switched to the ball, there was actually still two smaller wheels inside which were turned by the ball.

Yeah, no. By the sounds of it, you're a piece of shit and have no right to speak for anyone but your own shitty self. You're right about one thing; you're not better than others, you are far worse. Fuck off projecting your awfulness onto everyone else.

Never combine adblockers. ONLY use Ublock Origin.

Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be picking domains based on stuff like "hehe it says queer as fuck lul"? What did they expect to happen picking Afghanistan of all places for the domain of an LGBT instance?
