The case was later dismissed due to a lack of probable caws.

“Alcophilic memes” has enough content to be its own community lol.

High effort comment in response to a ridiculous topic. Love it.

Knocking up your entire neighborhood is an essential duty 🫡

Mint flavoring was added to toothpaste as a strategy by Pepsodent to make their toothpaste more appealing because it masked the flavor of other ingredients and the cooling sensation became associated with freshness. It became the default toothpaste flavor, but really you can flavor it any way you want.

I once got a gift set of these mini toothpastes in assorted flavors.

WITHDRAW CONSENT (projectile vomits)

It does come off as insecure when someone makes a culture they have little connection to a large part of their identity rather than just showing an interest in it, but most of the time it’s harmless and not worth making a big deal over. I would loosely define being part of a culture as fitting in with other members of it: ability to express yourself in the native language and understanding its nuances, familiarity with customs and mentality, not feeling out of place when around natives/locals regardless of your ethnicity or ancestry.

Only if I’m already in the shower to wash myself lol.

Thanks for the clarification. I wrongly assumed Microsoft was using Wi-Fi positioning systems (which is used for geolocation, just not in this particular case) instead of reading their documentation.

I’ll update the comment.

I also don’t think most workplaces are going to punish you for opting out of this feature even if organizational policy requires it to be enabled.

This is what I gathered on the subject, feel free to correct if anything is wrong:

The WiFi tracking works by scanning for nearby WiFi networks, identifying which routers are nearby and their signal strengths, matching those against their database of known WiFi access points, and using that data to estimate your location.

For now the feature will be off by default, first has to be enabled by your company, and then the user has to opt in for it to be used.

For those who are required to use Microsoft products, it can by bypassed by using a wired Ethernet connection and not using Teams on any devices using a wireless connection.

Edit: As @[email protected] pointed out, Microsoft is not using WiFi positioning systems to determine location, but rather updating your location to “in the office” or not depending on whether your device is connected to one of the organization’s WiFi SSIDs.

I guess you are being downvoted because people don’t like to be confronted with such cruel practices, but having lived in a place where anesthesia is a privilege very rarely given to village animals, I can confirm that it does happen. The main reasons given are that it fattens the piglets faster and makes them less aggressive though, not boar taint.

Yo mama so hairy they filmed Gorillas in the Mist in her shower.

Smaller, recurring donations to several of the projects you use most often or whose purpose you most support is what I would do. You can browse for projects you might want to donate to from this list on codeberg or OpenCollective, or look for individual developers you want to support.

Personal recommendations: your Linux distribution and Fediverse instances of choice, LibreOffice, WireGuard, Archive.org, Anna’s Archive, Signal, KDE, Wikipedia.

The Feast of the Ass has been celebrated since the 11th century and somewhere along the line, things were lost in translation.

It is custom in some cultures, including mine, to host holidays and personal events in your own home and visit friends and family in their homes when it is their turn. There may not be (or have been at the time) a good selection of restaurants, those restaurants might be expensive or exclusive, and inviting someone for a home cooked meal feels like the more personal and thoughtful thing to do. Some older generations have a hard time letting go of these customs without understanding that circumstances have changed (less family and community support, more options for eating out).

It can be exhausting having to regularly host and clean before and after large groups of people on top of all your other responsibilities and I can’t blame anyone for wanting to celebrate in a restaurant or somewhere outside the home.

No intentional murder, but I assume that if grandma gets drafted into the ski jump or if random untrained people like Dale the electrician are pitted against each other in Olympic fencing, boxing, or rugby, there are going to be a few deaths.

This is almost the plot of The Hunger Games.

According to my beer-drinking friends, several companies have not only discovered the precise point where people will fold, but successfully marketed it too.
