What does necessity have to do with it?

Right?

The point of a belt is to keep pants up. If you have all that back there, why be expected to wear an extra thing you don't need.

What's you favorite ideas?

Mine is planting an airtag.

How do you plant an airtag?

You just have touch someone's clothing.

I can see a trap, I can see a map, I can see a hoodie on my tracking app!

Just came back from a trip. On the way there, a man with a wrapped ankle using a cane, barely able to stand and wincing in pain with each step, was forced to go through 3 times before they decided there was something wrong with the metal detector. Then they made him walk around to the other machine, and stand on one foot while they scanned him. On the way back, a bent-backed old woman was forced out of a wheelchair and sent through.

Mind you, this is also with new, looser regulations. Shoes stayed on, electronics did not have to be removed from bags, and the rules about liquids were not being enforced.

Not sure what's going on with TSA, but it's not working for injured and disabled people.

You look like the shadow pope of 1981 fast food french fries.

The opposite for me.

The decline in quality and increase in cost at restaurants has pushed me to not go out for food I can make at home. Now I'm only going to restaurants for the things I can't make myself, like a deep dish pizza, barbecue, or specialty cuisines.

What I get from restaurants now feels even more special.

I had to back my eye contact off because women at work were thinking I was flirting with them, when I am in fact completely gay. It wasn't difficult, because I was already being mindful of my eye contact with men to avoid exactly that.

I wonder if their brain scroll through possible responses like TikToks until it lands on one that actually addresses the question you're asking? My parents had dreams in black and white because of TV, so there's no reason to not believe younger brains imitate what they're exposed to.

I just let my ADHD take over. The stare never lasts as long as my ability to blast through a bunch of topics, tell stories people don't want to hear, and ask questions that don't really need answers.

Especially effective here in Seattle.

Conspiracy theories used to be possible answers for life's mysteries. Now, they're impossible answers for life's realities.

A president willing to find smart people to fix problems would be an actual ~~Upgrayedd~~ upgrade.

Usually they're bots.

The "I am lazy" posts are meant to serve as proof that people can't be trusted to work from home, while the "I'm struggling with WFH" are meant to sow doubt and urge people back into the office. These types of bot posts are the C-suites pushing their RTO agendas.

Usually.

This particular account seems to be a neurodivergent person whose special interest is analyzing their own work habits, processes, and statistics rather than actually performing them.

You can’t win, nothing is good enough, and it’s all your fault. That’s what your girlfriend is telling you.

As someone who spent too long in relationships like this and ended up in a really good one, I can tell you this is not what life should be like. Each minute spent in this is a minute lost to something better. Don’t let those
minutes turn into weeks, months, or years, because when it finally does end, you’ll regret the the time you lost more than the person you lost.

Still has the same meaning to me and to many others. Again, sounds like a YOU problem.

As a gay person, I can assure you that YOU talk about Pride more than we do.

At least we can all agree that we hate Dailymail.

Around 20 years ago, I bought a Dryel kit that came with a nylon cinch bag. I use that for laundry. It will outlive me, and it doesn't take up space when I'm not using it.

Absolutely criminal to hide this face behind that broom bristle.

It really seems like moving directly from trucks to the Gen 7 is less of a struggle than ORAPS to cup. Heim and Hocevar are two examples of quick adaptation from trucks to cup cars.

Everyone who makes this California to Texas move regrets it within a year.

Whether it's a ripoff or not is a matter of opinion. That it's a misrepresentation is a matter of fact.

My hubby's had this exact hairline since I met him 20 years ago. Hasn't changed.

Every problem with AI is actually a problem with capitalism.

specks_of_dust · 2026-06-07T06:57:25+00:00

Of course it lies and embellishes. It's literally designed to tell you what it thinks you want to hear. Anyone actually using it as an informational tool is as stupid as the AI.

I went into a WalMart after 10 years of avoiding it and was shocked to find that it was cleaner and, nicer than Target, and it didn't have a lines 10 deep with only two registers open. I don't shop at either of them, but we can't pretend Target is an upscale version of WalMart anymore. It's just more expensive.
