Then why aren’t we all getting rich from it? Hint: not just because we don’t understand it.

The only way you could use ‘thirty two’ correctly for that number would be ‘one and thirty two hundredths’ which would be pretty unusual.

You say it like you think cultural relevancy were a good thing, and not just a marketing tool.

Weird! Ok, I’m less horrified now.

Come to think if it, centipedes are too fast for the thing your dad did. I bet millipides are a lot crunchier though.

But that very impulse is inimical to making friends. You make friends by being open to making friends, and by being interested in other people, regardless of whether they are ‘friend material.’

You shouldn’t even be assuming you know or can predict what makes someone friend material for you. One can be surprised.

Keep trying. When you visit the ER, you are seeing individual people. Some people are better or worse than at their jobs. Some care more or less, have different biases. Keep trying until you get someone who takes you seriously. Try different hospitals if you can, some are on average better or have ER rooms that are less overwhevlmed. Be insistant that your problem is serious and getting worse.

Millipedes or centipedes? I always used to get the names backwards, but centipedes are the nightmare fuel one (to my mind), lighting fast and all legs. Millipedes, the legs are less dominantly noticeable an I think of as more of a forest-floor, under-a-log kind of thing.

I just found and smashed a couple of centipedes in my house the past couple days. My reaction is instinctual and violent. It freaks me out to wonder what they’ve been eating to get so large.

It would probably be worth installing steam natively and see if makes a difference. From what I read certain machines and certain games can show a noticeable performance penalty using a container.

Did work end up being more like being on a Klingon ship or Borg?

F-Droid is not a shop

Not sure why this is a response to my query.

Sorry, my wording was unclear. Their vpn verbiage suggests to me they are promoting access to the existing content of the web. Secure and anonymous they claim in other website verbiage.

When they say "All the content in the world’’ and compare it to a VPN, I take that to be promising secure anonymous access to all the existing content of the web not just some new social network’s own content.

I think as a kid, I’d have found this scene funny without really getting it. I’d probably be OK with my kids seeing it, if I had kids.

So the first guy bought it for 100, suggesting the price used to be 100, and all those purchases may not have been crazy.

I want to say it was much less on people’s minds in the U.S., but I don’t 100% trust my memory.

What if you’re in the middle of one of these?

Idk but that looks like it would be an awkward time to get an erection.

Whoever thought that was strange needs to get out more.

This. It can be exhausting. I feel compelled to reassure the person that I’m not upset or whatever. It makes a big deal out of something i’d rather not be expending any social energy on.

Here’s an exaggerated analogy of what is like: imagine that every time you sneezed someone came over all concerned, like 'are your alright? are you sure? do you need a doctor? ’ and you had to explain that it was no big deal and that you were ok.

It also reminds me a little of people who cut themselves down, making you fell like you need to tell them, ‘oh no, you’re not ugly / stupid / a jerk’ or whatever.
