Sounds like a rule that would end up landing Hitler in the Medium Place with Mindy and Derek.

Fucking xenos and heretics everywhere.

As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?

When given a robot voice, all it learned how to do was scream endlessly.

I hope bears are not like cats, where brushing can cause a sudden switch from happy purring to happy murder spasms.

Seems like we’re overdue.

No Italian rebel crisis, no more Cato, no more independent Pompeii, Julias Ceaser got married, this Cicero guy really knows how to argue. So much better than the 70s.

I know it’s a real thing, but I still think of a sexy FBI agent every time I see “interrobang”

In the end, the real forbidden fruit was fossil fuels.

I always feel like these induced demand arguments are suggesting that adding more lanes means the same number of people are just choosing to do more driving. Maybe, as you add more lanes you create the infrastructure for a city to grow, and it adds more people which then fill up the new lanes. People aren’t just going out and buying a new car or rolling an existing car out of the driveway that they were previously not using because a new lane is built. These are net new drivers, who would not be in that city if the infrastructure for them hadn’t been built.

Isn’t this kind of a garbage comparison? Your chance of dying by childbirth is zero if you choose not to have kids, or if you biologically can’t have kids. Same with almost everything on this list, other than the only other medical intervention of GA (which you may not have a choice to avoid if you need it for a medically necessary procedure). Wouldn’t it be better to compare it to the risk dying of COVID? Or the risk of dying from other common vaccines?

Made the same mistake before too. Lemmy learning curve.
