I think I get what you’re going for, but that sentence hurt my brain.

To be fair, this shows an impressive improvement in cats’ understanding of grammar since the start of internet memes. Remember when they used to ask, “Can I haz cheezburger?” At this rate, they’ll soon speak better English than all of us.

This headline implies that living standards haven’t already been falling for years now.

Also, is anyone else tired of having their worst feelings and anxieties be confirmed through news headlines?

That squirrel is playing chicken with the cameraperson. They’re eating off a bird feeder - they’re gonna stay and take food until the very last second, then dash off.

Though the point is fair otherwise. Some squirrels will let people get ridiculously close to them. Another option for OP is to just wait a small distance from the mirror, the same way people sometimes wait for animals to approach when birdwatching, fishing, or hunting. It could take time, but at least that time is spent enjoying the peace of nature.

It matters because there are people who were born into bodies with plentiful behinds. The original comment said nothing about surgery, just insults about a random woman’s body. It’s not hard to imagine how such a comment could feel critical to a person who happens to share the same feature.

It’s a weird picture, yes, but is the body shaming necessary?

Oof, so close to being a haiku. Just one syllable too many.

Nope. Somewhere much sadder.

“Legends of the Hidden Temple.” It was a kids’ game show on Nickelodeon in the early 90s.

The group that shared the image (in the original post) is called “Corgi Club.” They can’t post a pug to the Corgi Club.

Though whether it was changed for the sake of the club, or it was changed previously but then shared by the club, who knows?

Not in my city. Running a red light is scarily common here. I once saw a pickup truck blow through 3 lights consecutively.

Does Beep still do that? I blocked them months ago, I forgot about them until this reminded me of their existence.

she uses the same rag she used in the bathroom to wipe my desk.

That reminds me, I once had a boss who used the same scrubber to clean both the toilet bowl and the sink. She did it so casually, seemingly clueless about how fucking nasty that is.

Stopped reading halfway through. Nope, nope, nope.

Amazing - it’s only 7am and, thanks to this post, I’ve already had enough internet for today.

It’s okay, republicans live in the past anyway.

I do not have aphantasia, but a painting technique I follow could work for someone with aphantasia. It’s more about pattern-recognition than imagining something beforehand.

I pretty much start by following whims. I pick some colors and do what feels right. Only after a bit do I look again at the work and think, “Huh, that looks like an alien” or “That kind of looks like a tree,” etc. It’s kind of like making my own Rorschach test - making sense of the noise on a canvas. Then, I start accentuating the pattern I see until others can see it, too. In the end, it’s a unique piece that looks like I planned it all along.

I’m not sure if that sounds up your alley, but I figured I’d share just in case.

Millennial here. I used to think of emojis as unprofessional, but then my current workplace started including them (and cringey slang) in important messages.

So, I readjusted my expectations. Limited emoji use = professional.

Then last year, I used the angry face 😠 along with a message. That seemed to concern people?

So now I’m wondering if “happy” emojis are allowed professionally, but negative ones aren’t (just as negative emotion must be hidden in all other aspects of society, I guess?)

I don’t know. There are no written rules. I’d rather we all go back to just using proper grammar and full sentences like we used to for work communications. I’m both too autistic and too old for this trendy shit.

This happened to me a few weeks ago when I was looking through thrift shops to put together a Halloween costume. I went looking store to store for overalls, asked the employees if they had any suggestions. The elderly ladies had legit suggestions (that simply didn’t work out for me), but the young staff just went, “Try Amazon?”

The sad truth is, the youngin’s never lived in a world without Amazon. They don’t know the local stores like the older folks do. Perhaps they’ve never gone from thrift store to thrift store looking for treasures (even if they work in a thrift store.) It’s possible the idea of “avoiding Amazon” has never occurred to them.

Such a strange argument to hang on about. They’re making a joke about having shitty eyesight. No more, no less.

Really? My initial thought was, “We deserve it.”

Our neighbors elected Trump twice. It’s clear they’re not the most intelligent folks in the world.
