I just can't trick my brain into accepting accountability 😭

You are witnessing the preservation instinct of the meme, not the individual.

"We need them less often" still seems good, no?

I believe I agree with you, but it's nice to give kids things, and worrying about food allergies is also hard. There's not an easy solution here.

Haven't you heard? Empathy is a vice, not a virtue 😤

They just watched this Monty Python skit 🤣 youtu.be/piWCBOsJr-w?...

This reminds me of Andy Weir's "The Egg"

Where is the line between spell check, grammar check, and this?

"Blindsight" touches on this

🤦I meant middle SCHOOL aged kids. They're not middle aged, *I* am 🤣

I have two middle aged kids. Am I lucky I haven't heard about this before?

Most people aren't self starters when it comes to learning.

aka "COCKblock"?

I'm afraid that "In Search of a Flat Earth" by ‪@foldablehuman.bsky.social‬ shows that this is actually a bad thing :-/

Usually these are characters portrayed as tricksters or devils. "Everyone" knows that they trick or ensnare you, but sometimes what they offer just seems too good to pass up...

Think about that meme "if those kids could read they'd be very upset". Well, these ads are for those kids.

A sclerotic party that LOST to a narcissistic authoritarian 2/3 times probably does need a reboot, yeah.

Something I've definitely pondered in comment sections, but I'm an anonymous nobody on the internet. Haven't heard it formalized by anyone else

I feel like a reasonably intelligent guy. More intelligence almost sounds scary. But my focus, memory, and (social) anxiety are absolute dogshit. If I improved those, it would give me basically everything I would "want" out of more INT and probably feel better, too.

My wife is the same way as you! Whereas to me, PB is basically my favorite food on earth. It causes a lot of good-natured teasing in our household!

"never" is a very long time

That IS my Senator! 😍

In the real world, I don't know any other way?

What are your favorite alternatives?

Rent space at a farm for goats? That's what my sister does. She volunteers at the farm around her parenthood and employment responsibilities and so the actual rent $ is really low.

Fun fact: All pigeons are feral descendants of a formerly domesticated species!

I live around a lot of DoD civilians and contractors. It was pretty obvious that they were going to at least try really hard to resist.

That's... Pretty true 😂

Beer tastes better than a fitness app?
