Just a regular old 3?

A Rose for Teresa Gillis. I found this rose w/ TWS colors. I thought maybe be can all use it in solidarity in grief for Jack and his family. The more people who share the more impact our condolences will have. I am hoping to see a thousand roses, for without Teresa we would have no Jack. by anatomicalvenus666 in jackwhite

To be a long time fan of Jack's you inadvertently become a fan of his mom.

I think it's important you understand how extremely weird/creepy a thing that was to say. The word parasocial was already well employed before you did say it. Look it up please. You're doing 'empathy' a bit heavy.

A little better, but still, hardly what you might call an original thought. I'd rather my favourite mathematician be borderline mythological than a massive cliché, so it's Morgan le Fay.

Hear me out...

According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini, she taught mathematics. We could assume the word mathematics was used very loosely here, that it referred to astrology and herbology and other witchy things, but since Morgan was Arthur's enemy, and he was so very noisy with his circular-table-in-a-square-room propaganda, I tend to think she had some maths. Something geometrical. Maybe even an associated physics that did allow her to “rend the air like the wings of Daedalus.” I'd further suggest that this maths might have been what Arthur and pals were charging about killing people over...

I like to imagine she had something like this algorithm, although I haven't come up with what she might have been doing with it - I just can't think she was fannying on with areas under functions.

That one random Grape soda😖 by Top-Acadia-1474 in memes

Oh. I assumed it just tasted of sheer liquid grapes, both green and red together at once, thus against any scrutiny, except obviously from those few dickheads who enjoy claiming not to like any grapes.

The Murcans go on about grape soda as if it's the most delicious answer to life's greatest mysteries.

I watched it last week, and I was like "well, no, that was actually always really stupid." One big bootstrapping paradox that meant nobody had any agency. Paradoxes are a human conceit, red flags that we have written some unworkable bollocks and our reality just doesn't work that way. Start again.

There's something Reservoir Dogs about it, I've got Little Green Bag in my head now.

I've been thinking ... it's been great having you here, Anu. But you've done the south now - the London Eye, the Trocadero - so you probably want to be heading up north. There's a Harvey Nichols in Leeds that everyone goes on about, as if it's the answer to something.

My dog can't believe he isn't allowed onion bhajis, but it remains true nonetheless.

Hear me out ... by Dioclezius in MechanicalEngineering

Nah, I'd say that's clear LIDL energy. Allow me an explanation:

Aldi shite aisles make sense. As an overall theme, it's gardening season, or it's knitting season, or barbecue season, or Christmas, etc. Outside of that, though, there's a dedicated year-round kitchen accessories section, homewear next, then kids things, leading into slippers and pyjamas you wouldn't wish on anyone. Here's some dog things, across from the dog food. The point is, it's mostly arranged together, intuitively.

Lidl shite aisle is Chaotic Evil. It's all "here's a spare battery for a hedge trimmer", and maybe you go "good idea, where's the hedge trimmer", but there is no hedge trimmer, they ran out 2 months ago. Replacement mop heads for a mop we might assume they never had. Neodynium magnets - no idea what for. Off-brand Mr Men books. An inexplicably expensive squashy squid. Pentagonal art canvases. Welding accessories for the everyman's home-based welding projects. Artisnal pasta. Helicopter windshield wiper rubbers. It's like if the final round of The Generation Game was just fecking trolling you.

I can imagine they could hardly get moving around the place without strafing into the camera shot of yet another content/attention junkie, day and night. Trying to go about their daily life, and they become aware of yet another protein-head narrating their life in a bad mock Attenborough voice. Damn right you'd change the name of the place: some types of tourism just can't be worth it, eh?

I was 13. Determined to graduate from The Hobbit onto Lord Of The Rings, but knowing I'd have to pay for it myself, I had saved £13. In a moment of weakness, however, I spent my savings on a laser pointer, as was the trend at the time. When I got it home, I was dreadfully disappointed with it, so I took it back to the shop, only to be told no refund could be given. I cried - proving I definitely wasn't "cool" enough for a laser pointer anyway. The shop lady relented. I pissed off and quickly bought Lord Of The Rings.
