The day I realized the AI services were generally better at checking their facts than my peers and relatives. 😭 Please dearest Aunt ask Gemini instead of doing your own research.

Me too! I totally set the microwave time based on vibes and just push the same button over and over until I feel like it's the right amount.

44, 222, and 66 are the most common.

My brain ain't pure but a fiddle and a campfire work for me. Compared to staring at a computer screen my brain will hit that reward signal so hard.

I love how my brain automatically read it in his voice.

I also do this for myself and my friends out loud from time to time.

I walked to the bar. Accepted a free pour of sparkling wine. Counted down to midnight. Sang Auld Lang Syne. Drank my free wine. Hugged some strangers. Threw $5 in the tip jar. Walked home watching fireworks.

It's a pretty fun holiday if you do it like me.

From the article, this might help:

Sajedi reviewed over 140 scientific papers to determine the effects of plastic bottles on the human body. She found that people ingest an average of 39,000 to 52,000 microplastic particles per year from food and drinking water, and those who use bottled water on a daily basis ingest nearly 90,000 more microplastic particles into their bodies.

I switched to Vivaldi recently and it's alright. I'll say the Brave ad blocking is solid and the android app works better than Firefox mobile.

Some people get their validation from sex. They might not even like the sex. In fact they probably don't enjoy it but they do like that bit of validation.

They probably aren't attracted to their ONS. Once they feel validation they want to be far away from the prison they felt it with.

The folks in these comments mad they had to work to understand are cracking me up.

And yeah, it could be much better executed.

I grew up doing chores and failed to make my own kid do them. I thought I was being nice but I can tell I let her down now. :(

Kids need to have a childhood and feel useful both. Plus they are important skills

Oh, I won't. I stand firm in my support.

If I had a weak spot posts like this would be the way to hit it though.

That was my reaction. I support universal healthcare but damn... comics like this make me think maybe we don't deserve it.

All the professionals say I'm not even a little autistic and I installed RedHat 5.2 on a cobbled together desktop when I was 14.

Disclaimer: I have been asked if I was autistic when flirting at bars though.
