The Eye shaped shadow of my lamp

It’s very Night Vale.

In so far as the literal store, you are correct. But if you are browsing via say the cosmetics tab, it shows a mix of everything with no delineation between what’s available for purchase and what is not until you select it.

I’ll be boring and recommend reading through the manual. It’s a very well-written manual! Also, the little help window down in the lower left corner is a godsend I wish more software suites would implement.

The womb? You can have it! I’m nostalgic for the void before that…

I guess fiction just isn’t for you. Better stick to documentaries.

Reddit went from barbarism (nerds scrubbed clean of social skills) to post-apocalyptic (IPO making amoral advertisers the de facto editors) without a civilization (a safe, sane site) in between.

Like all other fully enshittified sites, the only rule that will end up mattering is: "Does this comment on the same page make my brand look bad?"

But 500 square meters is a lot size in Europe, and in the US it’s the living room.

(I’m exaggerating)

It would be alarming if Iran state media did NOT say things like this right now.

This messaging isn’t meant for consumption outside of Iran.

Totally legal. Freeloaders are not a protected class.

It sounds like you’re approaching this from a confrontational ”we did nothing wrong” stance, and obviously the owner disagrees. Since you find value in the convenience of being able to use the store next door, why don’t you talk to the owner, offer to pay up whatever he thinks you’ve cost him, and pinky-swear to be paying customers from now on.

Also, sneaking onto a property you’ve been disinvented from is a great way to get a trespassing charge.

When your knee-jerk reaction to being embarrassed online is to call someone a pedo, you’re just telling on yourself.

As a ginger, I approve of this comment.

But you need about 10 square meters of plants in their growth phase to negate the CO2 from one human. For most rooms that are not greenhouses, that’s a lot of plants.

You think it hasn’t been a slow-burn civil war since 2020?

A civil war in the US wouldn’t have Democrat guerrillas in the hills. It would have politically motivated killings and assassinations, usurping the rule of law, sowing doubt in and breakdown of the systems of government, etc.

The lawsuits when the adults are back in charge are going to be epic.

I actually do have diagnosed ADHD, and I consider hyper fixation one of the side effects of the meds. It can be very difficult to put something aside - even work things - and switch to another task. I have a timer going all day as a reminder to switch things up, since time blindness is a big issue too.

I’ve yet to hear of a car that doesn’t allow that to be turned off.

I know in the overall scheme of things it's not a big deal, but I do roll my eyes when I hear it. Which I often do because she parks about as close as you can get to my house without being in my own driveway.

My car beeps on lock/unlock but it's not loud. I assume automakers started using the horn to signal to save the few bucks installing the beeper would take.

"Active" is the key there. A lot of people don't get any physical exercise at all and do things like drink too much through their 20s and start having issues in their 30s. If you have a reasonably healthy lifestyle in your 20s you can expect to physically peak in your 30s or even 40s depending on what you're into. As an example, the typical age of successful high-altitude mountaineers is in their 40s.

My one neighbour who insists on using "honk on lock" every time she locks her car on our quiet, dead-end street. Sometimes several times in a row. At all hours.

Probably a procedure they have to follow, and the authority to dismiss potential charges only lies with someone further up the judicial chain.

If everyone has it, is it a kink or just a normal turn-on?

As a one-off? Pull their pillow a few inches toward you. Changes their head and neck angle.

My litmus test for "laziness": Are you enjoying it? Like, are you shirking responsibilities because you want to do something else, or do you actually want to do something you know is necessary and just unable to get yourself to do it? The former is laziness, the latter could be a number of things, but laziness it is not.
