We need rain, I’m told.

It rains, complaints grow tenfold.

Probably not reading them. A family member told me at their work someone had an LLM summarize an issue spread out over a long email chain and sent the summary to their boss, who had an LLM summarize the summary.

1 hour of gym per day will provide zero mental health benefits when coupled with how little sleep you’re planning to have.

Never heard of it, and you provided no context either. :)

It has become an ongoing issue that my wife complains that she smells something, then gets angry at me if I am unable to smell that same smell, sometimes accusing me of gas lighting her or calling her a liar, when actually I just don’t smell the smell she’s smelling.

I’m not making implications or accusations, I’m not trying to mislead or confuse her, I just can’t smell whatever she’s smelling and that fact frustrates the heck out of her as though I’m personally letting her down. Then she gets a bit aggro and I have to change the garbages / kitchen compost in the hopes that perhaps those are the sources of the smells I can’t smell. Sometimes that helps. She will never change the garbage or take out the compost herself.

When she insisted that she smelled a gas leak from our furnace that I couldn’t smell, we called a professional who confirmed our furnace was working fine and there was no gas leak; but I was still the villain for denying the gas leak ahead of time. Three times in the last 6 months this has been a thing.

Can’t speak for every guy, but some of us will make sure to give extra room on the sidewalk to purposefully indicate that we’re not a threat. A bit of mud is a small price to pay to know that we have prevented even a modicum of fear from springing up in the hearts of a random passerby.

Many of us understand why women choose the Bear over the Man.

Sprint up or sprint down? Cuz 5 stairs at a time up is mad talent

Lots of CG

Yup, you got nothing to worry about. Plants don’t “pass” their toxins along to other nearby plants

Booo! Hiss!

If you want to read books, just pick up a book and read! :D

I always play Ranked / Competitive cuz I just want to have fun :)

Wait, is the spoon and the shredding before or after the can is opened?

Mine just throws a fit every decade or so, and stops generating heat.

Also, it’s the most famous appliance in my house because a video on YouTube of me opening my dryer door has almost 500k views

In America, people may have to pay over $1000 a month for health insurance, which may or may not even cover all their medical needs. People still need Bank accounts; cities are built without public transportation so vehicles are required just for the ability to feed and clothe yourself. This isn’t a “consumer” issue, this is a systemic structures of our civilization issue, where the needs of the many are less of a concern to politicians than the loudest voices of the few.

Nevermind lobbyists writing laws wholesale; supply chain management systems owned end to end by single companies; and Wall Street / vulture capitalists destroying companies (and lately hospitals!?!) to extract their wealth.

We need to structure civilization so that Money isn’t the only, single end goal of all endeavors; and we need to ensure that Greed is kept in check.

Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich.

I still don’t know what ich_iel is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask

1. Pick some friends that you like
2. Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
3. Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
4. Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
5. Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them

My mother in law’s stories. She keeps repeating these stories over and over but we’ve all heard them a dozen times before and then when we say, “oh, we’ve heard this one” she takes it as encouragement to keep going
