  • TIL there are four major blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Mosquitoes love to drink O blood, they think it's delicious.

  • I’ve watched them sting through my clothes and one time even a jacket

    I stupidly watched thinking no way it can get thru my jacket and then it just popped its thing right thru it

  • Yeah it more applies to people who actually get their primary socialization time at work

    A lot of people have social lives that are dominated by work relationships from being regular friends to hanging out after work and such

    So wfh for them is basically just isolation because they never had to socialize for themselves, school and then work provided it by necessity and proximity

  • People who socialize in the office hate wfh

    People who socialize outside of the office love wfh

  • Would you rather have hundreds of millions of dollars and be acutely aware of all the bad things going on, or a meager yet sustainable life and completely ignorant of everything.

  • I can go buy myself plenty of happiness and it’s not like being ignorant automatically means you’re gonna be happy

    Being ignorant won’t protect you from the world knocking on your door and tossing you in a van for deportation or worse

    I’ll take the money every time

  • Sounds like a consequence free hundred million dollars since you should already be acutely informed as to the horrible happenings of the world

  • VPN usage to get around geo broadcasting is not popular in America so the most likely explanation almost certainly aligns with an explanation not involving vpn use (except hardcore fans would definitely use it)

    So I think you’re actually wrong trying to deduce stuff from those stats and the reality is simply fewer Americans care about Winter Olympics (lotta stuff going on rn not just w Super Bowl too) + more people just watch clips off YouTube and TikTok and instagram/fb

    But none of that requires a vpn

  • That’s true winter isn’t as popular but between app subscribers and older gen with actual tv packages most will just watch it normally

    But you’re right anyone legitimately into it will seek out a vpn but that’s still a small portion of the actual watchers. Most will tolerate the sloppy coverage or if it’s really that bad just turn it off and move on with their lives

  • So what you’re saying is not many Americans heard it because most will watch it through nbc or wherever because not many people use vpns

  • Even if we removed the health effects…sitting in a wall-e chair chugging Alfredo sauce is being irreparably damaged in body and mind

    You can also just do that already by staring at your phone all day and eating processed food

    Jump

  • Are you sure you’re not confusing what a want is with something that you don’t want?

    For example you actually don’t want a wall-e chair because you would never actually accept one. Similarly, you don’t actually want a 20-liter bucket of fettuccine Alfredo because, again, you would never accept it.

    A want is something you’d actually like to have so if you wouldn’t accept it that sounds like something you don’t want to have…

  • lol professions often require you constantly be reviewing and keeping up to date with meaningful changes in the field

    Real life may actually require you to keep on learning 🫨

    I swear it feels like people genuinely want the wall-e chairs

    That’s like asking why the managers don’t just kill all the workers…who would do the work lol
