it’s all relative anyway

I don’t strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

even if this specific example were, the law of large numbers means there’s a very high likelihood that at least one person really holds this attitude.

it took me a long time to realise that just because it has the word liberty (almost) in it, doesn’t mean it’s a left-wing idea.

I think you said the unspoken part out loud.

unfortunately, I entirely lack imagination. happily, however, this is not a case where one is needed.

you got the last letter of the C-word right, but it’s one letter too short.

some republicans are good people not awful to literally everyone

some republicans are good people in the same way some cops are good cops.

don’t forget to make your first wish “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”

since we’re supposed to not be dealing with a monkey paw/genie situation, i didn’t use it this way, but in general I’d recommend making it your first wish under any such circumstances.

rephrase as necessary to further weed out possible loopholes.

a private reality which obeys whatever rules i want it to.

the ability to interface this reality with any others, as well as disconnect it, at will.

apropos of nothing, have you ever tried to actually get your jaws around someone else’s head? you can’t really open your mouth enough to do more than scrape the skin - biting someone’s skull open would probably not be possible.

if you’re bad enough at it, they’ll only need your services once!

buying hobby supplies is a separate hobby than actually using them.

hmmm, any tips on making money from it?

I’m a hobbyist gardener - or, rather, plant enthusiast - but even if I know that the plants themselves might be considered valuable, the scale I’d have to engage in it to make it capable of supporting me in its own is… daunting, to say the least.

what was the original image text?

I would guess this effect is caused by lowered anxiety, or rather, reduced alertness. I take a medication that includes an adrenal blocker - for my anxiety - and if I miss even a day my dreams go crazy as my body is flooded with levels of adrenaline it’s no longer used to.

my exact experience with tinder. if you’re not am absolute stud you get nothing but bots. and girls get overwhelmed with likes from basically every guy in 100km.

my partner of more than 4 years is sitting across the room from me, in the house we jointly rent and share with two small furry creatures.

She’s from Brazil, I’m NZ. We met on OKC and she flew over to meet me late 2019, then after border restrictions had eased she moved over to be with me around the same time in 2022. just slightly less than 3 years long distance.

paradoxically, by being more hostile.

just, specifically, become overwhelmingly hostile to the people presently making the world a (more) hostile place.
