Star Potter?

I’m sad that that “no pooping” guy never explained himself.

Maybe he was sacrificing his colon for the well-being of the fediverse.

You’ll have to tell me how hot these wings are.

He should just be glad he wasn’t bringing home snails.

Oh hey, have you guys heard of this thing called “lemmy”? It’s part of the fediverse. You might enjoy the memes!

Hey, wanna hang out?

For a more normal picture of her … Sort of:

When my mom’s best friend started to develop … I’m not sure, but some kind of age related disorder that caused her to forget words … She would just use “tree” in place of the word she couldn’t remember.

She expressed this to her friend group and they all just extrapolated the actual word intended and went with it.

I’m not sure if yours sounds worse than mine - I guess it depends on the metric - but they both seem pretty awful.

Star Trek glory guy.

Where I grew up, driving school was mandatory before being eligible for a license.

I ended up going to two. The first one, the instructor advocated disregarding caution and just trusting in the universe to take care of you (not exactly how she phrased it). At one point some state representative came in; the instructor, apparently forewarned, told the class that she would be teaching differently the day the representative was there and that we shouldn’t comment on it.

When my mom found out, she took me out and put me in a better known school, then demanded a refund from the first one. The instructor sent her a copy of her contract, highlighting a phrase that was something like “no refund under any conditions.”

A few months later, that school was no longer open.

Please do!

Nice, thank you for the answer.

Which Linux phone?

Strong words from someone who’s not really here.

Hey, thanks for extending this thread with me. It was fun.

Also, have you seen the movie Home? One could very easily argue about whether it’s a good movie, but there’s a scene in it where a hostile alien ship flies into Saturn’s ring and has a very visually impressive impact.

Again, not making any comment on the quality of the movie in general … That scene struck me as so cool that a screenshot of it has been my wallpaper on my work computer for nine years.

edit: I don’t run a public webserver anymore, but at the time I did and was unaware of things like nextcloud and copy party, so I had to save the screenshot to my webserver to get it to my work computer to use as the background.

It can take a bit of motivation to get started, but reading books can be so fun and worthwhile (with the right books for you). I read a lot of books until I had a kid, then I didn’t have the time or energy to keep it up. Just recently I suffered a back injury that keeps me in bed a lot of the time, which forced downtime on me, and so I started reading again.

I wouldn’t recommend the back injury, but I’ve so much enjoyed embracing books once more. Like you, I’m 38 and felt like my literacy was declining. Now I feel like a lot of it’s coming back! If you can, you should try to resume reading.

I hope they didn’t burn their diploma.
