I’m not sure that more loose cannons is the solution to the number we have now. I suppose if he was on a tight leash they could always threaten people to smarten up or they won’t hold him back.

You mean, like this? Or this? I found better examples on my web search, but they appeared to be from personal sites, and I wasn’t broadcasting that.

There are curves etc. around the belly button that will stretch and twist fabric like that, particularly if they’re somewhat tight. Weight doesn’t have a large bearing on it, but lighting will make it more or less obvious. If you can see it in staged pictures, you will see it in more casual settings. And it’s not too surprising an artist would notice details like that.

I like Lewis, but he might be a little too angry to be in charge of missiles.

Oh, that’s our criteria? Because you did that in your first comment, yet here we are.

Nothing to do with the nipple or how it functions.

Welcome to the 70’s, although that was still in an adult context.

Look up signs of breast cancer in men.

I heard it was due to greater blood flow to areas that routinely don’t experience that level of flow, kind of like how you really notice the breeze on your face after you shave off your beard. Now, I don’t have any proof this is it, but a month or so of regular brisk walks should be enough for your cardiovascular system to adapt to the new requirements, causing the sensation to vastly reduce if not disappear completely.

Related to that, and a line that just stuck with me: A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into.

I’ll remember this whenever someone says you’ll run out of things to do when you retire.

My qualifier for the 200 years or more is because we have some crops that we’ve only grown extensively for a couple hundred years, and the almost is because I don’t know the details for some new world crops such as quinoa and amaranth.

Philip K. Dick would either be proud or try to kill you for reading his mind.

There are a number of antiviral medicines, some of which work against influenza A and B. I’m pretty sure these are prescription medications in Canada.

If by “a lot” you mean “nearly all commonly grown crops in the last 200 years or more”, then yes. There are very few crops we haven’t altered in our quest to feed more people with less work, and even things such as heirloom produce are just varieties that breed true (and may have been around longer than the other varieties).

I have some concerns about GMOs, mostly because we aren’t very good at it yet. When we start producing things with the behavior of cucumbers producing cucurbitacin (not a desirable trait, but highly targeted), or if we’re adding benign genes that make something produce beta carotene, I’m all for it.

It’s okay buddy, your definition of exodus was wrong. Just let it go.

As for the rest, I made a sarcastic comment based entirely on fact, they asked for proof of my statement, I gave them everything they needed to verify it. I’m sorry if my comment was too harsh for your sensibilities, but if that’s the worst you’ve heard on Lemmy, them I’m glad for you.

No definition I’ve ever heard requires an exodus to be initiated by the people leaving. Also, if you read the comment that started all this, I was explicit that I didn’t mean employee-led. So thanks for stopping by weeks later to display your ignorance and/or lack of reading comprehension.

the bidet temporarily connects my butthole

with a near infinite series of tubes

containing pure water and in that moment

I am the clean water and the clean water is me

That’s some wild poetry there.

This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don’t know how much they pay.

The text says deficient in fat and carbohydrates. I’m pretty sure they mean it only happens when you don’t have enough of either, not that carbs are an essential nutrient.

A 9v battery powered skateboard is viable if you pick the right combination of weight, speed, and distance. Doesn’t mean it’s going to change the world.
