Getting harassed by these assholes as I was walking by their house. Then again by the same assholes as they were driving by a little later. In fact, now I'm sure it's the same guys doing this for a few years now, shouting crap at me as they drove by.

Now I know where they live.

Just ignore the fucks. They get a hard on if you respond to their crap, and will get bored if you don't. Plenty of below IQ70 lowlife trash like that here where I live.
Ignoring works most of the time.

I have an entire lifetime of experience to prove that is entirely false. This has been going on for several years, and hasn't stopped. When they do their drive-bys, the drive off before any response. They don't do it for the response, they're perfectly happy knowing they just shit on someone's day regardless.

Yeah but what can you do that isn’t an escalation?
Or more importantly, won’t get you caught. Beatings hurt.

Well maybe a silent filing for harassment on them? Pretty sure you can do that without them noticing. If you succeed then at least something will happen.

Whatever your course of action, letting them know who you are/where you live/ how to contact you is very likely to make things worse, so keep that in mind.

Today I was reading about in vivo neutron testing.


'the body is bombarded with known-energy neutrons.  Certain elements within will absorb the neutrons, producing isotopes that will give off gamma rays; the timing of which can be measured to determine elemental makeup.  The advantage is that with some assumptions we can assess what the constituent makeup of the body and thus the level of complex molecules with some assumptions about average proportion variations.  The disadvantage is that the living body is irradiated, and the specific effective dose depends upon the element tested for.'

YoY textbook, you so fine.

Please don't even joke about that. This is one of the few places on the Internet that is largely uncontaminated by that imbecilic meme.

I've seen reports about it, mainly people warning teenagers not to do it. It's dumb as all hell and people doing it really should get Darwin Awards.

They look like yummy fruity candies. Who would make something look like that but you can't eat it. Monsters. ;_;

I can only assume, but I'm fairly certain that manufacturers were trying to make the pods look cool in order to get their marks customers to think they were new and improved.

They forgot to baby-proof it, though... (Why must everything these days be baby-proofed? Are we being flooded with man/womanchildren?)

The fact that apparently people are consuming these things on purpose should give you your answer.

I mean, it seems literally designed to look desirable to human lizardbrains. The first time I saw one I was like "ooh, that's tasty. wait, it's soap? wtf"
