One of my most baffling social nights was being invited to poker night at the home of a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses. My buddy had married one (that's a whole different kettle of fish, set that to the side for now lol) and that's how I came along for card night.

So anyways... there's no gambling allowed... so the deal was everybody put in $20 dollars and whoever "won" was awarded the trophy. To keep it totally in God's hands and not humans gambling, the poker game's River card would mutate all cards with the same value to Wild cards. So no matter how shitty anybody played or what anybody did, the outcome was quasi-random. Then once everybody had all the chips, they were awarded the trophy. The trophy was a 40oz bottle of whiskey. Which Jehovah's are not allowed to drink. But don't worry, it was agreed beforehand nobody would actually drink it, it's a damned trophy for crying out loud!

Also we were not allowed (per JW rules) to be socializing in the first place. Also there was rock music in the background while we played which is not allowed. And the JWs would individually disappear to the laundry room to make their pop-only drinks with whatever (pop only!) products each person brought to the gathering in a zippered gym bag.

I mean. Yeah. It was so fucking weird man.

Tell us your idea.

FYI you're going to get absolutely shredded by technical responses about how light works.

Right but my memory goes back a lot further than present. The fuck corpo mentality has only been "real' for a couple years. Meaning it's finally popular to say it. It's been festering among people who are really real for a longgggg time.

Like really? Nobody could see this coming? Nobody could see that corporations are parasites enriching themselves off others' struggles?

This is legitimately a good thing in the long term, hopefully it will allow people to refocus, and take back their pursuit of justice and equality in this society.

I never watch what companies say, I watch what they do, and I will always factor that behavior into my purchasing decisions.

My experience with this shows that you cannot only use an adhesive if you expect it to stay fixed.

Drill a tiny hole and add a metal post between (you can trim any rigid wire like even a paperclip) then glue.

Take your medicines and consider returning to therapy.

You desperately need help .

Hey if you want some arrogance try this, learn how to read.

The thrust of my comment is that people who pour coffee for a living cannot process the concept of black coffee.

Best of luck with your education, I hope you stay in school so you don't end up as an incompetent "barista" 😘

If men bore the children then women would have to do the sexual pursuing. The human race would quickly die out.

Thanks! That's pretty fucking hilarious actually.

And 50% of Veritasium is presenting a false statement, then going at it with faux-discovery and acted wonder. That channel makes people dumber.

If I put them in the dryer they'll wear out quickly and then I'll have to buy more sweaters and I don't want to.
