I find myself liking the intro to some of these songs, only for the singing to come in and ruin it for me. The instrumental probably sounds fine, but the vocals are a completely different story, and I feel like that affects how I vote...

Yeah, some voices are a very acquired taste!

[rpepperpotshipssciencebros]

It definitely affects how I vote. While I realize there will never be more than the current four options, there are times when I wish for a "well, the music's nice..." option.

Oddly, I don't think I've ever come across one where I like the vocals but not the music.

scientists have recently announced that exoplanet HR 3499a is no longer believed to be potentially capable of supporting life, after new spectroscopic readings indicated that it doesn't even have a dishwasher. "i mean, it doesn't even have a fucking dishwasher," said the lead researcher. "I guess you could live there, but, like, would you really want to?"

[idk-whateverthisis]

I do not have a dishwasher in my home. I do not understand why do people need it

[rpepperpotshipssciencebros]

It's more water efficient

Sanitizes as it cleans

It's faster to load the washer than it is to wash by hand, leaving you time to do something else while it runs

Saves counter space (no drainer on the counter)

Looks nicer (no drainer full of drying dishes on the counter)

Some people just fucking hate to wash dishes

You don't have to stick your hands into gross, greasy water

Less chance of getting soapy water all over the floor, counter, and/or your shirt

Can be loaded with one hand, which is useful if you've got a clingy toddler who screams every time you put them down, or have a cast on your hand/arm, or use crutches/a cane, or are missing a hand/arm/fingers

Sponges/dishcloths quickly become hotbeds of bacteria if not changed/laundered frequently.

I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. Obviously there are some things that should never go in the dishwasher (eg crystal glasses, cast iron cookware) and if you're only washing one or two items before using them again while cooking, then handwashing is the way to go.

If it makes you feel any better, I was 44 in 2008. Also that's one of the most fun spellings of "orphanage" I've ever seen, congrats!

The Republican lawmaker's office said Graham died Saturday night after a "brief and sudden illness."

Wow it’s almost like the oversexualisation of queerness is one of the reasons why asexuals, non-binary folks and aromantics are not seen as queer enough to be part of the community

I am going to actually attempt this. This is exactly the kind of shit I like to do in my spare time. When they evaluated me for autism it involved giving me an IQ test that involved arranging a series of large shapes made up of colored triangles as fast as possible and I did it so fast that the test administrator was visibly shocked. The doctor who diagnosed me told me I must be incredibly smart bc I scored in the 96th percentile of patients who'd taken their IQ test and I was like yuppppp that's me and it's crazy how I've never even thought about the placement of a colored triangle before haha

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

Remaining time: 1 day 18 hours

(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)

After school care pulled me aside about my child dropping an f-bomb “without remorse” and I put on my concerned face and nodded a bunch.

Apparently he was building something with a younger kid “who really looks up to him and is just starting to make friends” and said “Hey, you’re really fucking good at this.” which is, in my estimation, really a parenting victory.

I absolutely failed at doing this:

A lot of American politics seems to boil down to asking “Hey, can we have that cool thing other countries have?” and then the government says NO that would be TOO EXPENSIVE!!! and then the news breaks that another fifteen billion dollars has been spent on the Machine That Murders People Horribly instead.

[rpepperpotshipssciencebros]

Accurate.
