Wait, what? Where’d you hear that from? I’m on .world and my home internet is hard wired to a VPN. I’ve never had a problem.

There’s also this wonderful comment about memories of playing “peek-a-boo” in the bathtub.

It’s important to take time to enjoy the simple things in life.

I would like to second this. Researchers are standing by and ready to learn.

She needs to be defrosted from her summer stasis in time to sing about Christmas.

Though in all seriousness, it’s sad to think that enough people saw that AI slop of an update summary and thought, “Yep, that sounds better than anything I could’ve come up with. Let’s run with it.”

I definitely look more like my (late, paternal) aunt than my mom. I’m also told that I’m a lot like she was, personality-wise.

Which is funny, because I have a nephew that looks more like me than my brother (his father.) He reminds me of the way I was as a kid, moreso than any of my other nephews/nieces.

Genetics are wild, man. It’s so cool to see these similarities/phenotypes that seem to move “sideways” along generations.

Oh snap, you’re me.

As an agendered pansexual, the wildest thing to me about the trans/cis divide is actually feeling that strongly about having a preferred gender. I simply can’t fathom caring hard enough to put up a fight about it. I default to “female” because I was AFAB, but if someone calls me by a different pronoun, it’s whatever to me.

Now let me be clear - just because I don’t feel gender for myself, doesn’t mean I can’t respect and support those who do feel strongly about their genders.

And as a reference to this comment, this post was fueled by unmedicated ADHD, autism, and cannabis (and a bit of frustration, since I accidentally closed the window after the first time I wrote it, so I had to write it twice.)

Funny thing, I learned to roll my Rs by pretending to purr like a cat.

Oh man, the clothes thing. I have to consciously make it a point to remember what my nephews wear when I’m in charge of them. I’m terrified of losing sight of them and when asked, “What were they wearing?” I’d have no idea what to say.

This is really funny considering there’s a Bob’s Burgers episode about exactly that. The wife, Linda can roll her Rs but can’t whistle, while the husband, Bob can whistle but can’t roll his Rs. It’s a whole plot.

I can roller blade (in-line wheels), but roller skate? Impossible. Last time I tried was a disaster, I just can’t get the hang of them.

Oooooh, I like that! Their favorite phrase, turned around and reclaimed, and made fit to highlight their damage. This needs to spread.

He joined via a video link, I’m not sure if he was even in the UK.

Though I wouldn’t be surprised if he joined via video not because he couldn’t physically be there, rather because he’s scared of being attacked.

Could well be he couldn’t go himself because all his human shields kids had playdates pre-scheduled. Who knows.

A politician with a proven track record of actually cleaning shit up?

They’ve got my vote.

I trust you, because if anybody knows a thing or two about people who like to sniff assholes, it’d be someone named Fartographer.

Bruh, it sounds like you and OP are both on the same side. Like the point of this post is to kind of -nudge nudge- that “disobedient” thought that’s teetering on the edge of realization, without making a direct call for action. You call for it one way, they call for it another way, but both of you seem to be attempting to conjure the same idea.

Why in the world waste time complaining that your teammate isn’t using the same tactics as you? We have to stop letting arbitrary shit divide us. If we all have the same goal, we should be aiming toward it together.

It blew my mind when I realized it was colder outside than it was in my freezer.

That pivotal moment when you drive home from the grocery store on a frigid evening and realize, “It’s so cold, I don’t have to rush to put away the frozen stuff. In fact, I could just leave it in the car overnight if I really wanted to!”

Cheeky little guy, he can’t even keep his ear and trunk behind the red line. That elephant truly does not care for our silly human rules.

My answer to this post is the same as yours.

I definitely take the sea for granted. When a friend from Ontario came down and saw the ocean for the first time, it blew his mind. I mean, it’s definitely awesome, how it’s immense and connected all around the world and everything.

But at the same time, I was born in a hospital that was on a beach. I can’t imagine what it must be like to see it for the first time.

Dude, they’re frickin’ tall. Those Southern California trees are something else.

I was also fascinated by your beach-squirrels. I’ve lived near the ocean most of my life and I never saw beach-squirrels til I went to Ventura.

Whatcha doing in Antarctica?
