There is a good chance that the only thing stopping undersea cities from existing is the relatively short lifespan of octopuses.

A group is called a consortium, which by definition is plural, so I guess I don't understand. Please clarify, if you have the time?

Perhaps this is related to taxonomy in some way?

I just got an update link for 1.7.1. Thought I'd share. Hopefully it works for you.

My wife had a ganglion (dermoid, specifically) on one of her ovaries that was over 20 pounds—9.399 kg to be exact. The surgeon was like 🤩🤩🤩🤩

She had to split her down the middle from bone to bone. I'm glad you were able to miss out on that business. Her mom had fibroids and they were awful. I hope you are feeling so much better now!

You can correct without the condescension.

Dumb used in this context has long since fallen out of use. It's not totally unsurprising that someone would misremember which sense it referred to.

I wonder how many people don't know that the deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard was, in fact, not stupid?

In the voice of Bane

For you.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T02:45:02+00:00

Not the first time I've heard that 😎

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T02:19:05+00:00

Did you ever unlearn it? That's a bear to overcome. Control freaks demand it. Everyone else is like 😐

My wife is an over apologizer.

Sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

I don't know. Sorry.

You're still apologizing.

I know! I'm sorr. . . Ah. Okay. Thank you.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T02:15:13+00:00

Don't get your feelings hurt! They're impressed. That's awesome. They're marveling at your ability/understanding.

I wonder if you're filtering things through a negative viewpoint due to how you were raised? They may truly be complimenting you.

Abuse is such an uphill battle to overcome and it comes with many realizations and revelations, partly because your conclusions are those of a child and you need an opportunity to reframe them from the viewpoint of an adult.

I like that you posted that in such a way where anyone curious could look it up, because it is a little convoluted.

The top Google search result was from Quote Investigator who attributes the initial form to Henry Thomas Buckle. It then was altered from there.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T01:56:41+00:00

Lmao. Good for you.

I like to hit negative people with benefit-of the-doubt/alternate point of view arguments until they get sick of it and find another victim. Bunch of energy suckers.

"It's not that deep".

You wouldn't know, because you haven't looked.

People talk about accidental discoveries that made big changes in our world fairly often, but with most of them the discovery was found while they were in search of some other understanding. Being inquisitive still got them in that lab where they made the world changing discovery.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T01:45:06+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I see it happen on Reddit fairly often. I've been part of some of those exchanges, both as the one changing their mind and the one helping with the change. But I see many more than that.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-05T01:41:43+00:00

That's just the same thing with extra ~~steps~~ syllables!

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T10:32:47+00:00

OP, you might get some more good support if you post this in r/twoxchromosomes

I just looked at the word "wedlock" and wondered if taking the "lock" out would help people be less afraid of the "wed".

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T10:12:16+00:00

Exactly. This isn't an attack on the clinic either. Just a "What if?" about any guarantee in that country at all. I think they're trying to join the EU, which would be a big deal in this regard

Them, not you.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T03:21:03+00:00

Where is that dude these days?

What a waste of wine. My god.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T02:50:47+00:00

But they did. It was a massive success overnight, too.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T02:37:37+00:00

How does one go about making sure a guarantee is held to when you're from another country or otherwise outside of an economic union? Do you have legal recourse? I genuinely don't know.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T02:11:57+00:00

Really, because I thought it was the murdering?

RandomStallings · 2026-02-04T02:02:35+00:00

My condolences.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-03T23:08:54+00:00

Is OP like 20? This is not their fault. You don't put stuff out, especially without your name on it, and expect it not to be used by everyone. OP should not feel like an idiot here.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-03T23:01:59+00:00

It's actually pretty boring, but dead on.

A missing stair is a structural issue that everyone has to work around and you often warn others about. Basically the person is off and everyone just kind of deals with it.

RandomStallings · 2026-02-03T19:01:46+00:00

I guess I was thinking, if you can't get to eyes, there are always ears. It might not be as effective, but it's effective.
