When I was first teaching my son the alphabet, we got to “W” and, before I could say it, he called it “two vees!” It was so cute.

Stores still accept cash? What is this, the 17th century?!

I hate self checkout. I work all day to then check out my shit and bag my own groceries? And pay 2x for the same food and less service than 5 years ago?

According to Wikipedia, that slur is really only used in the US and Canada. If you go to the UK and say it, they will hand you a cigarette.

Fucking good. I so hate Harleys.

Hopefully the incel crowd will succeed in branding them as ‘too woke’ or whatever and once the boomers are all dead, that’s it

Steam deck has an emulator so it should

Having been banned from every subreddit I ever subscribed to, this sounds about right.

Then you message the mid, nothing.

My favorite was when I posted one comment on some obscure have subreddit about the Ukraine war.

Then I was immediately bagged from like a dozen other subreddits, many of which I had never heard of. Reasons included violating political rules … on a gaming subreddit about a game that simulates war between Russia and NATO. Go figure.

Noooooo thank you

Where in the world is that? I have never heard of renters paying for maintenance.

In fact, every single rental agreement I signed over 25 years said “contact the landlord if there is a problem” which was backed up by state law.

Houses are not “one time labor.”. Housing requires constant scheduled maintenance and upkeep over time.

Not to mention the financing required to pay for it all,which is normally spread over 30 years.

Landlords also do repair and maintenance (jokes aside) to maintain the property in good working order / habitability.

At least, they are generally required by law to do so. Your laws may vary.

Landlords also prep the unit for habitation between tenants and handle all of the paperwork for rent and utilities (depending).

Maintaining housing is very expensive, and many people cannot afford to just drop $25,000 to redo a kitchen or reroof a building when it is required.

So landlords are basically the middle manager between your living at the property, and all of the maintenance and financial details. You pay rent to them for that service.

Old school sun block was mostly zinc oxide in paste form, so not really cancerous

People have been making clothing for ~5 million years or so.

Have you ever seen an Australian rancher? They look like boiled lobsters

When you get old and spend a lot of time outdoors, you look like a dried up prune. Regardless of skin color, typically

No one is running 450 km to hunt though.

Another factor is, with endurance hunting, you will need to carry the carcass back to home base. So let’s take am antelope, which weighs 125 kg. You need the hunters to bring that all back to base, AFTER the multi kilometer hunt is over.

However, as far as portaging, women are very adept at that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-carrying

Olympic shooters would make the absolute worst hunters, have you actually seen them shoot? It’s a test of hand eye coordination to hit a paper target.

Women have a higher pain threshold, and may be able to handle long distance endurance better. However, judging by existing tribal groups in Africa who still practice endurance hunting, that really isn’t the case so it’s probably bullshit.

A marathon is not a speed race. It is a 42 km endurance race, similar to endurance hunters would have done on, say, the plains of Africa.

The vast majority of people today would be unable to finish even a half marathon without collapsing due to utter and complete exhaustion.

Not true, the fight or flight response is an automatic response of the nervous system.

The fight-or-flight or the fight-flight-freeze-or-fawn[1] (also called hyperarousal or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.

Well… many of the younger women would be constantly pregnant back then, and engaged in communal child rearing. So they are going to be spending less time on mammoth hunts.

Ancient people’s also worked way less than we do now.
