monkey = not attractive, can also be foolish

gorilla = swole, ripped

crocodile = greedy

worm = of low social status

turtle = slow

cockroach = hard to kill

it is a paradigm shift.

what they learn from this is to make sure to not get caught in the future.

book reading club?

thanks! very helpful in decluttering and prolly peace of mind for those that chase after internet brownie points.

it could be a solution twenty- or thirty-some years ago. at least to keep the readers from getting near.

but, they don’t have to be near to read do they?

or, as others have pointed out, the power company can always fudge it and shift you the burden of proof.

looks like the gamer girl one before her just paved the way for this kind of product.

the internet does connect people in interesting ways.

He rooted out massive waste, fraud and abuse, and he did so at enormous cost to himself.

massive waste and enormous cost got me. this is just an appeal to feelings as always.

i think it is a fine way to accept death. to be fair, that emotional resilience and adaptability is astounding.

but, since this matter is just not your own, i do hope you talk and work things out with your husband and find a cormon ground of acceptance.

for me, i would have a moment of grief and at least offer a small memory to the child (these are financially hard times). i am not sure how long i can recover from grief but i think it is for a good cause.

part of the platform peddling was for people to believe “common-sense, day-to-day wisdom” vs scientific expertise.

it’s the ultimate clownery with who the people voted for.

to be fair, that’s some presidential level autocorrect if it thinks it knows how you should measure your dashes.

i agree that in the internet, no one does (or at least, actively) try to measure them dash sizes.

hmmm, any thoughts… huh these people and their cracks sure do love their long lines~

megalovania is one of the badasses in my book

there’s a use for the em dash. it is mainly on reports and literature. i just don’t see it on the casual internet much.

from what i read, it is the use of realm and delve that have strong leanings of ai bias.

hmmm… evangeline for a girl, i think it’s like evangeline rose for the full first name.

a rare name for guys is like claudualdo. usually guy names are shorter. benjamin or methuselah are more common.

imo it doesn’t matter if you have the kei car. they are very manueverable. also the introduction of backing cameras make things safer.

things change once you get into the bigger cars / pickups.

i learned to love the feeling of muscles getting stretched

if the meter is dramatic, could be 5 feet.

searching for things in the internet.

i think LLM/PISS now has a bigger place because people dunno what to look for / what they want specifically.

there’s some legit use for LLMs, but to help you ‘search’ feels like you’re giving away some freedom for an unknown set of weighted biases.

reminds me of that ecce homo restoration

zipperman! (pronounced ‘sticky fingers’)

from what i read so far, i think you really believe that people can “like” someone with varying degrees. and i think it makes sense, for you to follow through with this belief.

maybe you can convince her with this mental framing so she doesn’t feel “disliked” and wouldn’t be too dejected at the thought.

i am no expert at your idea of liking and relationships, but i think it is a possible approach.

cheers!
