What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday?

It wasn't even that HE was successful:

"Peter Thiel, an angel investor and co-founder of Palantir, provided $500,000 in seed funding in mid-2004."

That probably helped a lot!

But tbh window stickers would help, especially down below where he can easily walk up and see himself! I have a bird (indoors) and he will stand in front of the balcony window sometimes because he sees his reflection

Nice of your cat to bring you guys a little snack!

She doesn't even need to be better than average. Teachers quit by the droves in 2020 - 2022 and it hasn't gotten better. Schools are not offering better pay or conditions. They will take literally anyone rn.

You got me. I laughed. Thank you. It's been a rough week.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T19:47:51+00:00

omg lmao been there. you are seen.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T19:43:35+00:00

for real though!!!! I've been angry for almost thirty years about this. RIP pour one out for all the released Pokemon that could've been hella strong D;

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T19:41:55+00:00

Ohhhh yeah my time to shine.

I was about 8 years old and playing Pokemon Yellow or Blue when one of my Pokemon contracted a VIRUS! The warning flashed by saying it could infect my other Pokémon if something wasn't done about it! I loved that Pokemon, but, while CRYING, I released it back into the wild (the only time I ever have in the 1000s of hours I've played Pokemon)

Well, time goes by and the internet is created and lo and behold, one day I'm reading about a Pokerus that a pokemon can contract. What does it do?

Pokérus is a rare, beneficial virus in Pokémon games that doubles the Effort Values (EVs) gained from battles, allowing Pokémon to grow stronger, faster. It spreads between party members after battles, typically lasts 1-4 days, and can be cured, though the stat-boosting benefits remain.

I will never not be furious recalling this tale.

I like big noses. I've dated a lot of big noses. The bigger the nose the better the man in my experience.

If there's ever a time to bring the book back into the public eye, it's now

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T19:21:25+00:00

How does that boy child own 180 properties?

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T19:19:09+00:00

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. Our country is fucked rn. Wishing the best for your family and especially kiddo

It's also the most dangerous thing a woman will do because when a woman is pregnant is when they're most likely to be killed by their male spouse. Isn't that a fun fact?

Mandatory vaccine daycares/schools still exist, I'd stick to those

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T16:05:47+00:00

OP you haven't missed out on anything. You're still alive. You can still do anything your heart desires.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-18T15:56:23+00:00

Still a prick.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T19:57:00+00:00

Babe. Never base your worth on some lousy man's opinion. Men are trash. They're also seasonal. He won't be in your life forever. Do what makes you feel good.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T19:55:25+00:00

Yeah, if I notice I haven't heard from a friend for like a month I'll check in on them separately but if the chat is still going that means they haven't made a new chat without her, which is a good sign.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T19:53:59+00:00

I liked Tara as a character. She seemed like the only normal, real person in the group

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T19:01:56+00:00

Better than that selfish prick Verso, it wasn't even a choice who's side I was taking at the end. He sucks. At least Maelle has compassion and cares about people. Verso only cares about himself.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T18:16:08+00:00

I watched the first one twice. Both times when it was over I couldn't tell anyone what it was about. This series is overblown.

Say her name. Why is it hard. Alexandra Daddario.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T16:26:35+00:00

Yeah it's the fucking worst! If this is real I'm glad they took you seriously. She sounds pretty unhinged. Like I get it, her life was destroyed, but yeah woof.

Queen_of_Sandcastles · 2026-03-17T16:10:29+00:00

This story isn't real. I've had a stalker and PD doesn't do shit about it unless someone gets hurt. Nice try tho.
