I wouldn’t touch it. I don’t trust anyone to use it tactfully. All the people I’ve seen say “I’m disabled so I can use it” art like, low support needs, average IQ autistic people. Someone told me I can use it since I’m dyslexic.

My aunt was diagnosed with that term in the 50s and she was never able to read or write, couldn’t be independent for long stretches of her life. That’s different from me getting laughed at when I read a customer’s order.

They’ll regenerate like starfish. Infinite switches!

Nope. When I make plans with people, it usually ends with one of us giving a 👍. I thought it meant “we’re all on the same page”.

Anything tied to a movie or TV show is probably obvious, but I immediately thought of The Power of Love from the old Sailor Moon dub. I remember swinging on the swingset singing it with my bestie while our moms held a yard sale.

The last song from Garfield On the Town also immediately puts me in mind of being a little kid sitting on my brother’s carpet, since he had a VCR.

Morning:

• 5am: wake up in my gym clothes
• 5:05: drink my pre-workout and scroll for a minute
• 5:15: sit down to put shoes on. Cat gets on my lap

This is where morning turns into a choose your own adventure game!

• 5:15: sat cat on floor and go to the gym
• 5:30: weight training
• 7:00: shower
• 7:20: breakfast
• 8:00: work

OR

• 5:15: give kitty five minutes, she deserves it
• 5:30: realize I’m running late but now I’m in the middle of some stupid task on my phone
• 6:00: I’m not going to get a full workout in anyway, I’m just going to eat breakfast now and go to the gym after work
• 7:30: time to go to work! oh no I’m still in my gym clothes
• 7:40: time to go to work!
• 7:50: oh god I forgot about the school zone
• 8:05: I want to die and take everyone on this highway with me

Night

• what the fuck
• uhhhhh
• somehow falls asleep two hours later than planned in a spot other than my bed

But if you tell people “I wake up at 5am to work out”, they automatically assume you have your shit together. 😎

I like to follow a couple reporters directly as opposed to subscribing to the local paper and wading through the fluff pieces, so that means using Bluesky.

Back when I was still an artist for my super niche internet garbage, that meant using Tumblr, then after the Tumblr purge, Twitter. Then after Musk, cohost, then after cohost… I mean, I was done with art but I’d probably be on Bluesky for that too.

This was my philosophy, then I realized I prefer crossword puzzles and sudoku on my phone because I can do it one-handed so I can pet my cat at the same time.

I also tried watching shows on my TV instead of my phone but it’s harder to block ads.

Not sincerely, nah

Don’t bring them here.

No. They don’t just paste the contents of the book into the subtitles, they transcribe the dialogue and sfx just like they do for original shows. It would be pretty crappy if a deaf/HoH person wanted to experience a movie like normal but the accessibility features were repurposed for speed reading.

Also I brush after breakfast

I’m pregnant and it’s yours. :( What do you want me to do?

Plot twist: reddit is one guy and all his bots.

I dunno, it just made no sense. If people find out you’re an atheist, they don’t argue with facts, they argue with morals.

I’m sorry you need to believe in something with zero evidence to be a good person/find beauty in the world/be at peace with yourself/whatever, but I can just do those things anyway. I don’t need to convince myself of certain facts for it.

I don’t actually know! Her microchip says her name is Shirley, but I tried two phone numbers and a physical address and never got in touch with her previous owner. I had been workshopping names for a while but I figure she prefers that one, so she’s still Shirley.

They’re dying in a lot of places. Malls still exist, but with the rise of online shopping, they’re not worth putting in all the bells and whistles anymore. My local mall pretty sterile and dull. :(

Do we have the same personality? Because I don’t see why it would escalate to murder. I don’t like violence.

I think most likely is we’d take turns going to work, and one of us would always get to stay home and procrastinate on chores. For some people that probably wouldn’t work as the duplicate would point out they have no obligation to their original, but I have a million siblings so an obsession with fairness has been hard-coded into my brain. We would work the exact same amount of hours and split all our sweets perfectly evenly.

I think the big downside is that I’d probably have to stop going to the gym. Alternating days would effectively halve my progress, and I’m not buying twice as much protein power.

Not even the worst but I’m amazed that a company exists that actually calls themselves Banana Republic and consumers were like, yes, this is good

I’m on team OP with this one. My nails are too short and 50% of the time I get a can that doesn’t play nice.

Either way I use a non-electric can opener since it’s quiet. My cat recognizes the sound of these things.

Oh hey, I appreciate the info! Seems I misremembered. I actually attempted to double check before posting but kept getting wildly different numbers from different sources.

I heard a lot of “you survived the first time, it’s fine,” when he got reelected. Ah yes, that pandemic we all survived. The constant food recalls where none of us got sick. The uptick in gun violence that made all of us so safe and cozy. Not to mention the famously survivable ectopic pregnancies!

No big deal indeed.
