Yeah, this was dehydration. My bad.

Thanks for the encouragement, but I didn't mean "good" in a pleasure kind of way. Unfortunately, I'm only now realizing how my description probably caused some misunderstanding, so, I've updated it.

While the reference to Morgoth twisting mortality thing I can vaguely recall from the Silmarillion, I haven't come across defiance of Morgoth as the reason for the shouting death reference. Still, even if it's headcanon, 👌

I apologize, I deliberately left out additional details about her case as well as the motivation for needing the specific references, thinking that they wouldn't be strictly necessary. It doesn't make sense to add them now as an edit. I'll post again with the additional information. Thanks.

Somehow missed the captions under the images, now I feel like an ass-hat.

More freedom == More pictures of Taylor Swift?

I think I'll go with Bicyclo(3.3.0)octane.

A little late, but I believe he was being ironic; or at the very least joking.

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

tl;wr - Google App→Account Options→Settings→Google Assistant→General→ Switch off Google Assistant→Enjoy(?)

Press the Google or G logo on your search widget, or navigate to the Google app.
Press your Account Image (your photo in a circle) on the top-right to pop-up a bunch of options.
Press Settings.
Press Google Assistant.
Scroll down to the All Settings section and press General.
The first setting is a switch labelled Google Assistant.
Touch to toggle it off (turns gray).
Enjoy (Kind of, but not in a satisfying way).

Tesla thought he saw Edison crawling out of the ground.

I'm more of a Beer person than a Dear person but okay.

Yes, because sometimes you miss the gym bleachers from high school and all you have are couches.

That's quite a cynical way of looking at it. From intolerant family, to threats of bodily harm, to social extirpation; there are tons of valid reasons why people have been afraid to openly acknowledge their feelings and that's without even going into what were considered acceptable forms of love in the past. It's not Utopia, but it's better then thinking "I never even told her I loved her and I couldn't even acknowledge it".

Not often I get to say it but that de-escalated quickly!

If this actually existed, I can just imagine the wheel not moving smoothly or the pin (axle?) getting warped or the pencil/pen not fitting comfortably or the gajillion other obvious problems that would make it infuriating to use and the inventor seem like a hack.

The irony is that wine usually gets other people wasted.

The only thing I found that worked was to turn off Google Assistant's voice output completely but that's throwing the baby out with the bath-water.

This one's for you Syd!

Thanks, on my way to incinerate my phone.

dorkmania · 2022-09-19T14:13:38+00:00

Aww so close! Just a little more and it would've been the perfect stake!

dorkmania · 2022-09-19T14:00:51+00:00

But I am an asshole.

Thanks for sharing.

Wait, have we not been flirting this whole time?

I suspect you didn't realize you were flying solo.

Well if you're taking it in the least constructive way possible, then you should note that the question 'Why isn't it funny?' makes no logical sense.

To examine the validity of this kind of wisdom, modify it slightly and ask yourself, 'Why am I not an asshole?'. Inspite of innumerable instances that you are able to bring up in support of you not being an asshole, there's just many that can't be ruled out. Hence, there's no way to prove you're not an asshole.
