the greatest trick god ever pulled was convincing us he exists

I'm looking through a textbook for EMTs and, uh, I'd just like to call attention to the fact it refers to the Auvi-Q epinephrine autoinjector as "An Auvi-Q EpiPen". Yes, a textbook for EMTs uses "EpiPen" as a generic term for an epinephrine autoinjector. Just sayin'

Woah black betty

"With two attractive people alone in a room like that, what did anyone expect?"

This was said in regards to (art of) a man and a woman who were supposed to be working on something but were instead having sex. Do cishetallo people not understand the concept of a man and a woman being able to do anything alone other than have sex? I'm really worried about them. Are they okay?

(yes, I'm aware it doesn't help much, even with the P100 filters. I just had it lying around and wanted to wear it.)

The one upside to covid is that it's made wearing a respirator in public socially acceptable. Now if only we could make collars socially acceptable...

Incidentally, in case you're curious, the black covers history up until the first cellular lifeforms. The red is after the first cellular life forms. The blue is after the dinosaurs. The incredibly small green bit in the bottom right (which you'd really need to zoom in to see) is all of the existence of homo sapiens. So, geo fact of the day for ya: earth is *ooooolllllddddd*.

So, for a discussion on visualizing earths history in my geo class, I mocked up my idea of using a 4K television. Does, uh, this look familiar to anyone else?

"Explaining kills the joke" applies when you're telling the joke, not when someone asks you to explain it. If you have to explain it while telling it, maybe rethink the joke and whether the audience is a good one for it. If someone asks you to explain afterwards, that's when you *should* explain the joke.

If your response to users getting fucked over by horrible software design is "Oh, it's the user's fault," you deserve to have the ability to design and build software taken away from you forever. It is your job as a software developer to ensure you aren't bring harm upon your users, and if you think they should have to protect themselves from *your* shitty software design, you should never be allowed to build software in the first place.
