Ah well. Thanks!

I don't get it. What good reason is there for the state to make a law like this?

during the day, when there's plenty of light anyway

b- because of the sun, no? or is that the joke i'm missing lol

Ah fuck, I worded that poorly. No, talking about it is fine, but thanks for asking! I don't mean the physical sensation is the same, like how you can feel a bug on your arm. Speaking for myself, it's like the mental reaction of "ick there's a bug on my arm, I have to get it off". There's no physical itch or tickle on my skin. I was trying to make that comparison because generally when there's a bug on you, it doesn't bother you if you don't notice it, and you might not even realize it's there for a while. But once you notice it or someone points it out, it'd be hard to just ignore it, even if you couldn't feel it on your skin at all.

As I'm typing this out, I'm realizing that it's possible that not everyone experiences quite as strong a reaction to having a bug on their skin that I do, especially as a person with ocd, lmao. But if you do, well, hopefully this helps!

Not the person you responded to, but for me it comes and goes as a result of OCD. It does hurt, but not terribly. To describe the urge, it's a bit like if there's a big bug on your arm. Once you notice it, it's difficult to not immediately swat it away, and until you do get it off, you're gonna be very aware that there's a bug on your arm. It's pretty much the same feeling, just directed toward hair instead of bug.

It might be totally different for other people, but that's just my experience.

mmmm *⁠.✧ tingles⁠ *⁠.⁠✧

Lmao fair enough

Is there any chance the emojis mean they're not serious?

But yeah, like others have said, it would be pretty wild if true. I'd definitely read a (fiction) novel with that premise.

Hey now be nice to fat tony 🗡️

the book fair??? mom can I get one of the pointer fingers???? /ref

I mean it probably doesn't help, but if you're yelling anything at the sky you're probably gonna sound a bit crazy /s

I wouldn't ever want someone to be able to own a tone/sound of voice. I'm with you there.

But it kinda sounds like they're trying to straight-up imitate her. Like they want people to hear this ai and think it's voiced by johanssen herself.

I don't know if that's true, or if it even makes a difference legally, it's just the impression I'm getting.

I'm not knowledgeable about any of this; any correction is welcome, lol.

This takes me back to "gorilla, man, gun," which was basically the baptist youth camp version of rock, paper, scissors. (It probably exists outside of that context, that's just where I always played it shrug)

To be clear, I'm not trying to get into a man v bear debate here. But, like, a man could still kill you, right? Is that better than being eaten? I mean, I guess it's probably less likely. I'm no expert on bears or random forest men.

I sincerely wish I could unread "skin puppy"

You're absolutely right, and I'm sorry for jumping to the worst assumption. I'm gonna take this as a sign to log off and touch some grass. /gen

Same, friend. :(

My aloe vera plant is doing ok tho

The show is politically charged because... there's an enby person? Or am I misunderstanding you

Good bot

Yeah, when I read the headline I figured it was saying that if you don't vote, that means you're actively supporting trump. But after reading the article, it's definitely not saying that as far as I can tell.

I chalk it up to the headline being worded weirdly, and just the fact that people have been saying things sorta like that.

Well, this is a fun discussion!

...Anyways, I like to think that the title implies you're supposed to vote more than once lol

A dad joke about a dad joke. I like it!

Christofer

E: scrolled down to realize I'm like the third person to say this. So original 🙄🤷

Lmao

This thread makes me feel very seen

Good point!!

Apparently whales are ~36°, about the same as humans. I'm not a biologist or anything, but I wonder why they maintain such a high body temperature, considering how difficult that is in the ocean lol.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the milk is quite a bit colder by the time it gets to the baby.

Here's, uh... definitely the strangest youtube video I've watched this week, but I thought it was interesting. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Warm milkshake

But it would be a good month :)

Not an option, sorry :p

A regular-sized sword, or a big one?

(⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)🖕

True lol. I'd give a transcript if I could find one. It's a video trump posted, taking credit for overturning roe v wade.

"This is fine..." absolutely killed me.

Thanks for this. It's on spotify too :)

On a related note, in case anyone hasn't seen this yet:

Hey, I use this app! It's awesome. They also included lots of information about the air quality measurements, which I appreciated. For example:

I mean yeah, probably they would know, but it wouldn't hurt to talk to em. Either way, specific negative feedback from potential customers gives them at least a small incentive to change.. not that it'd probably be significant enough to make a difference in this case. But hypothetically, if enough people did get upset about it and it hurt the business' bottom line, I'd want them to know the reason.

If nothing else, at least they'll know what the brick is for. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

That sucks. None of us are free until all of us are free.

My trans homies and I would probably throw a brick through that window... just saying.

Okay, in reality we'd talk to the owner first and explain why this is shitty behavior. The brick is plan B.

Yeah, they definitely knew what they were doing. It's shitty. And it baffles me that there's no regulation for this (in the US, that I'm aware of). Or hell, at least better awareness, considering I didn't learn until I was 18.
