I haven’t. Is it also an ink flow pen? My handwriting suffers a lot with ballpoint.

The Pilot V5 is such a versatile little pen. I love them.

Maybe? But the syntax doesn’t make that clear at all.

Why are they calling it "revolting?" It's inefficient and kind of weird, but I don't see what's revolting about it. It's just absurdist fun (I hope. Please don't be a milkshake duck.).

I am sad that I can't actually tell who we're talking about. So many people to choose from...

Is that Young Person Speak for being really high? I just know it in a musical context.

Good luck! I will send knocked-up vibes your way!

Okay, can someone explain to me what #unconfinedwalks is about? It just looks like regular walks to me. What makes a walk unconfined, exactly?

Doctors are so weird sometimes. There are peer-reviewed articles about this!

Buproprion is often prescribed for anxiety, so it might just be a happy secondary effect! I'm sorry you had a bad day yesterday, though. :/

If you're close enough to the Canadian border, a lot of Canadian Tire stores had enormous dinosaur statues for sale this summer (IDK why, probably because they're cool) for less money than that. If you can't get the originals, that is.

Like, I sort of get why they don't want pregnant people to take it (they hate women and people they perceive as women and want them to suffer during pregnancy, among other things), but now they're telling people not to give it to kids, too. Are they targeting kids, too?

Did Kenvue Inc.'s CEO run over Trump's dog or something? I don't understand the sudden vendetta against Tylenol/acetaminophen.

Does someone have more insight into what's behind this?

If it has to be educational I'm hooped, but if it doesn't have to be educational I can talk about dog and cat behaviours and specifically my own pets for three hours no problem.

As I understand it, that is the nature of most photography.

I love your nature photos. You have a wonderful eye for composition, among other things! I am quite envious of your ability to catch birds in flight.

I've been mostly offline lately, so I totally missed this. I am so glad you found a home for them both! Also, the universe has been extra hard on you lately, and I am really sorry for your loss. *hugs*

I thought the Rapture was supposed to be Wednesday! Does that mean I missed it? Shoot.

At what point are we going to admit that the Notwithstanding Clause is no longer a "rarely used provision," since every single fucking Conservative government has used or is planning to use it to trample on the Charter rights of their constituents?

Why do we even have a "hidden fascism" clause?

I saw it this morning too on my way to work! It was Venus, and I saw a slightly dimmer celestial body as well, which the internet tells me was Regulus. I wish my phone camera could cope with nighttime/sky photography, because it was so cool-looking!

Aw, I am sorry. I know so many people who've been through this, and living in two-week increments is so, so rough on the psyche. (I also wanted to do it myself, back in the day, but the stars weren't right and so I had to give up on having my own kids.) You got this! I have faith. ❀️

Mine says β€œno images found,” so I’m guessing it’s a tad glitchy. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Is it a paper or a cloth napkin? If it's paper you don't have to worry, she'll just have weird-looking poop tomorrow. If it's cloth you'll have to watch her for signs of a blockage depending on the size of the napkin (vomiting, lethargy, etc.) if she can't pass it.

But how do you know to reach out to someone if you've forgotten about them? πŸ€”

Huh. Charlie Kirk has been killed.

We are grateful for the daily respite from The Horrors. It’s nice to imagine a world in which AI isn’t LLM-generated slop and in which there is a genuine desire to do good.

I think they're well aware but suffering from a sunk cost fallacy. They've been convinced that AI is the "way of the future" and they can't back out now because they've put so much money into it.
