They think it’s their friend and will defend it to the death

Haha please do, it’s gorgeous, I’m just being a grinch

I’m in the PNW but I’m contractually obligated to say it’s shit so people don’t keep moving here.

It’s not even hard to plan a date. It’s pride month and the world cup and nice outside, the possibilities abound

I’ve send screenshots of a conversation to the person who sent the message. It happens

It’s really hard for me to meet people when it’s like “what do you do” and I answer and they say “how is that” and I answer and then they ask where I’m from and then say it’s rainy.
I don’t think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don’t even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.

I was driving through western Washington near Idaho recently, scrolling through the radio to see what they had going on out there, and the song literally went “find you a girl who loves her daddy, and talkin bout babies makes her happy” likeeee cmon this is straight up Christian white nationalism dog-whistle, let us be honest with ourselves.

I love Lucinda Williams

Bruh when I first got my computer the first thing I did after getting a browser was install AdBlock except it was a virus site posing as adblock. I feel so dumb right now. I think I need to just pay someone to sit with me for an hour and teach me computer basics. It feels like I missed a step and everyone knows what’s going on but me

Ah that sounds lovely

Without those, what can you recommend to someone who is not tech-savvy but willing to learn?

The world really isn’t built for people on the outside of the bell curve. I have a 4’10" mom and a 6’7" ex and they had so many things they complained about that I never even thought about because I’m 5’6", so the normalest height possible. Your solutions make sense

Genuinely this is something you should see a doctor about. A calf cramp once in a while doesn’t say that much about underlying pathology but if your jaw is cramping to that extent you should talk to someone. There are treatments for TMJ disfunction.

I saw a mosquito in my vicinity recently so I gotta do what I gotta do

You’ve never gotten a charley horse? It’s not at all like a period cramp, very sudden and exquisitely painful, and quickly resolved.

Can we please not spread misinformation. Mg=relaxation and K+=contraction is simplistic. Both are needed.

YES flex that foot! Just grab it with your hands and dorsiflex it hard, and it resolves quickly.

Exactly and you remember where in the readings you saw things so it’s easy to flip around and pick a part you want to reference. That’s not at all the same as asking a bot to do it for you.
I have a lot of glorious moments but my highlight was when I started a 4,000 word paper the afternoon before and got glowing reviews. It’s not because I was intellectually lazy, it’s because I knew exactly what references I was looking for and had plotted a large part of it out in my head already. I mean, I was lazy, but I did know what was going on, and I learned.

That means that you understood it yourself though, no? I have worked til the wee hours on many a paper at a prestigious school and it always worked out for me because I was paying attention the whole time, so it didn’t matter that I only started the paper the night before. Essays fill me with dread so the deadline has to rear its ugly head before I can start. TL;DR same

I’m absolutely sickened by the crap that people are somehow paid for on websites now. I just wanted to look at different ideas about the ending of a show I like and I got the laziest writing I’ve ever seen. Any teacher I’ve ever had would have had red marks all over the page and demanded I fix it and return it. Proper names were misspelled and sentences didn’t follow smoothly. It’s so frustrating.

How long ago was that??? I used Wikipedia a lot in high school. I’m nervous it’ll be taken over by these goons (like they’ll start editing) and become useless. One of my favorite things when I’m bored is clicking on random wiki links.
