Except in Prometheus the effect was intentional.

I only had this at 7

I opted against taking a burner phone—a move that some legal experts had advised, in the press—believing it would provoke suspicion, and simply decided to give my phone and social media a superficial clean.

But C.B.P. had prepared for me well before my arrival. They did not need to identify me at LAX as someone worthy of investigation: they had evidently decided that weeks before. […] In either case, a U.S. government officer must have read my work and decided that I was not fit to enter the country. Because Officer Martinez had apparently read all of my material so long ago, he didn’t even know that I had taken all this material down. What this means is that, by the time a foreigner cleans his social media in preparation for a trip to the U.S., as much of our news media has been urging us to do, it may already be too late.

This had nothing to do with recovering any data from the phone. The information was already known to them.

But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.

I think Hanlon’s razor applies in this case

I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.

It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

Just checked and it’s a whole bunch of nsfw ones (I don’t block all nsfw, but there are a lot of weird communities in that category that I don’t need to see), a bunch of German ones because they were taking over the feed at one point, and theonion (which I don’t really find funny anymore)

They’re just arcs from an infinite radius circle.

If you want to go that way, the straight parts have infinite angles too.

It shows all downvotes first, then all upvotes.

No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

You’re very optimistic.

he did a few awful things in this state of terror(setting fire to the psychiatric hospital twice, push a old lady in front of a bus -she was not hurt as the bus was imaginary,too-, stabbing a kindergarten teacher in front of her class)

Scale this up for the richest man on earth and I dread what can happen.

Pretty sure it’s the East Sea Shellos

Lol, the word “meme” was introduced as a parallel to gene and religion was provided as an example of a very strong meme. At one point the word started to be used for memes that spread over the internet, and since most of those were image macros, a lot people came to believe that meme means “image macro”.

But jokes are a wonderful example of meme. There are jokes that have been going around since ancient times, some with almost no alterations.
