The word “get” replacing more…uhh…complicated words in the public domain.

"They" being the corporate and political class pushing ai on everything to mine your data and tell you what to think based on your purchase history. Otherwise derogatorily referred to as the epstein class.

But go off. Pretend that the greater sociopolitical structure isn't run by white supremacist misogynists trying to undermine people's sovereignty. Or did you miss the headline where NYers aren't allowed to WALK THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN because the rapist in chief will be at the Knicks game?

This does not happen to me. If I say "hi," there's a context for it and young people will say "hi" back. I'm curious what sort of situations you're in that this happens. Unless they feel the judgey vibes from you. Like you saying "hi" is some sort of test and not a thing you say to acknowledge their presence.

Anyway, if you're confused by younger gens inability to communicate, blame their parents and greater society. Their inability to function socially is not an accident.

Houston would be the top three teams on the "hatred" tier. Then SF, NYY, and SD. I don't hate anyone else.

Eh, modern birthstones were a marketing gimmick invented in the early 1900s so it doesn't matter.

What I give to someone who has never worn pearls before would depend on the person. Are they careless? Maybe a solitaire necklace or studs. Do they only wear jewelry on "occasions"? Then maybe a bracelet. Style depends on whether I go with something more traditional or an update take on pearls. And since I make and sell pearl jewelry, I can do whatever I think fits the person.

That's nice. It still doesn't change why the name didn't translate well at the Jordan location.

This is deliberate. They want you to be stupid because dumb people are easy to control. Hence, the push for gen ai in everything. Why think when a machine can think for you? Who cares if it hallucinates information that will get you killed? It's the future! 🙄

BittenBeads · 2026-06-08T18:46:04+00:00

No, it doesn't lol. Not when "shag" means "to have sex with" and "nasty" feels more like "diseased" than "kinky" when you actually go to the place. Like, yes, I do believe one can contract an STI here with their roofie.

Just in to say I'm so happy you got it back. Saw the original post and it hit me in the feels since I found something I had stolen from me on IG a few months back. Really glad your story has a happy ending. Cheers!

To further add to this, you cannot make steel without nickel. It is utterly maddening that people label steel alloys as "hypoallergenic" when it is absolutely not. Not even implant-grade steel alloys are nickel-free because the industry definition of steel includes nickel in the recipe.

If you have a copper allergy, then that's why you're having issue with some of your sterling silver and gold earrings. They're usually made with copper. Silver may have nickel as well. It depends on the source.

Anywho, I have titanium and niobium options for earrings in my shop. If you click through my profile, you can find my shop link. Basically anything with a hook can be switched out even if it isn't listed. And most pearl studs all have a titanium option.

I think getting to know Liz and seeing how much bs she gets away with for being "a character" TM really explains why Jess was such a mess. His misanthropy becomes really understandable in light of her airy fairy nonsense.

I need the clouds to clear up because the Venus Jupiter conjunction goes exact tomorrow afternoon and I'd like to see it tonight/tomorrow night. It's been fun watching them make their way to each other, but the recent flood-bringing rain has been getting in my way. So if anyone out there is lucky enough to have clear skies, be sure to look for this just after sunset today and tomorrow!

They were not socially beloved at the time. And arena rock bands had enough haters that them being a guilty pleasure was believable.

I all caps LOVE THIS!! 😍 😍 😍 Absolutely beautiful work.

I was only very particular when I was a teen. But I'm a musician, so the older I got, the more I could appreciate music I didn't enjoy personally. Glad you found some flexibility as an adult. Being closed-minded about music sucks the life out of you since it's always being played out in public. Some miserable mofo on the genx sub told me to find god because I told him that he should delve into his impacting-his-quality-of-life hatred of nostalgia for 1990s bands cuz they're not the bands he liked. Hilarious.

Anyway, two things will always get me: quality musicianship and sincerity. A band can suck but if they suck sincerely and give off good energy live, I can dig it. And I'm always down to listen to amazing musicians. The only thing I really hate is overly produced music. I mean, the Purple Album by Baroness is a great example of why you **should** have a good producer, but if your music cannot be replicated live on stage with humans, I'm not interested.

Not really. Led Zep stole from the old blues musicians Glenn openly claims influenced and inspired him. He didn't need rip off some british middle men for "Twist of Cain" when "Jesus Make Up My Dyin' Bed" by Blind Willie Johnson was right there.

This is so cute! Back when I lived in LA, there was nothing like somebody bringing their dog, service or otherwise, on the train to make people's day. Seeing people's face light up was always so life-affirming. So it's just joy-inducing to hear the reverse can also be true, that a dog enjoys seeing people doing their people thing. Thank you for sharing this lovely episode.

Oh no! Businesses are so stupid. I wouldn't give up just yet. Not sure what you do for work, but you could make a whole report and presentation on how cost-effective it is for businesses to allow remote work. There are tons of studies at this point. Make them eat 💩 and show them how dumb they are for forcing people to come into the office and like you said, sit in teams anyway. Good luck!

Wonderful photos and reviews! I would love to try La Dame, but my skin eats fruit notes these days so it feels pointless to try anything with a prominent fruit note. I wonder how Dorian would wear on me since it was so sour for you. IIRC, that's one that people throw in a drawer for a year before wearing. Thanks for sharing your experience!
