My pops died about a decade ago from old age. It wasn’t a surprise, and we’d generally had a reasonable amount of time to grieve so it wasn’t hitting us all at once.
The funeral home that handled his funeral, at the same time they were also handling the funeral of a local high school girl who’d been killed in a car wreck. I never saw any of the next of kin, because I guess they normally only schedule one wake at a time.
I really felt (and still feel) for her and her family. Dad got to live a long life, have a career, have a family, and die in his sleep in his 70s. She, on the other hand died before she got to get out on her own and live a life, and it would’ve been devastating to her family to have her ripped away like that. Not to mention the strong chance that she was conscious and suffering as she died.
She’d only be 26 or 27 today, if she’d survived the wreck and the recovery.
Even with long term grief counseling I don’t know how you’d ever get over that, burying your child.
An online IQ test is probably just as meaningful as a sorting hat quiz, or whatever the 2020s equivalent is.
Which is to say, it’s useful as a bullshitting session conversation starter with friends so long as all are aware any results should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
I know server space and bandwidth and payroll + benefits for programmers aren’t free, and apple isn’t a non-profit like my local food bank and homeless shelter.
But I’m also not thrilled about ads invading apple maps.
At various times I’ve enjoyed:
Lately sonic is my favorite.
The Middle might be one to hold her interest. It’s currently available through Amazon Prime streaming.

Kitty can’t let the can opener go away
I wonder if they’ll be spared the ads that are coming to Apple Maps
Ew.
Well shit.

I’d almost rather use a paper map book than get face slapped by ads in a smartphone navigation app.
Has he ever done a movie that wouldn’t be considered a bad movie?

I’ve never actually taken a formal IQ test, and I’d have trouble justifying the time and effort.
I know exactly one person who took a formal IQ test, and it was because their parents pushed them into it in middle school.
If I won $50M in the powerball and never had to work again, maaaybe I could justify doing one just for shits and giggles.
The track I’m recommending is the Postmodern Jukebox cover of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” featuring Ariana Savalas on vocals.
For your requirements

If Savalas sounds familiar, her dad is the actor Telly Savalas.

I’ve seen a similar cartoon with a cat paw coming through the glory hole and bopping the dude in the face
Thanks for the alt-text. There’s not much contrast between the font color and the surrounding background color.
Hi Sam!
I know server space and bandwidth and payroll + benefits for programmers aren’t free, and apple isn’t a non-profit like my local food bank and homeless shelter.

I don’t know how to square the circle though.
I have vague memories of a scene in Idiocracy that was probably a reference to this brand.
There was a billboard in the background with the text
It might have even been Will Ferrell depicted on the billboard.
Van Gogh was a very sunaliveed painter.
Same.
I’ve heard a joke among some cat owners to the effect of:
It’s the same way with providing context and details.
