There is only one planet name that deserves mocking. That godawful Earth.

Ampersand is such a fun word

Oh wow. I have a pair of ray bans that I picked up from my old bar’s lost and found after they sat for a few months. They have a crack on one of the lenses but I can’t see it when I wear them and nobody has ever noticed it. I didn’t realize they’re supposed to be that indestructible, but I guess I have had them for probably 10 years and have never been terribly careful with them.

Yes you are valid. There is a microlabel that you may relate to, if you’re looking for it:

Reciprosexuals don’t feel sexual attraction until they know someone is attracted to them first. This can create a dynamic where attraction follows mutual interest rather than leading it, different from most other orientations.

But ace is ace is ace is ace. If you identify as being on the ace spectrum, you are valid. If you change your mind later, you were (and are) still valid. You do you boo.

The french fucked up cause they didn’t have option 1 as the follow-up to option 3.

I’m going to spoiler tag this because it’s a slur but I’ve always found this one the most comical

I listen to audiobooks while doing something mindless like cross stitching, a mindless game, or chores. It keeps my brain from drifting or going into autopilot.

It might also help to find podcasts or commentary that breaks down the books, but also read the books before or after. Those types of breakdowns will usually connect the theory with current examples, which helps reinforce the learning.

Editing to add: find a book club or socialist organizing group. Depending on how you lean, there are several different international options where you can join and learn together with others, and many offer virtual options if you’re somewhere remote.

Was he not injured? Why did they do the weird AI shit?

Idk how it is in the US but in Canada, they already have all our numbers. Really wouldn’t be hard to enforce except many billionaires wealth doesn’t come from their income.

Civil disobedience maybe? Standing up for what you believe in isn’t always legal, especially under a shitty dictator.

Opt in ads actually sound like a decent idea. The key being opt in so that if I cant afford a service but still like them, I could choose an “free” ad tier as a way to throw them some support, with the website itself still being actually free and ad-free. I doubt that advertisers would be into that though.

Reminds me of my uncle’s cat who he named “guero” (affectionate name for blonde in Spanish, cause he is a lil light orange boy), but then they found out his name was Barry, and seriously who names their cat Barry? The same neighbours that abandoned him, likely.

Drink some water bro

It’d probably be best if Pete Thiel just died also. That would be pretty cool.

Being a billionaire almost always involves murder in some indirect or direct way.

This looks like Sabrina’s house

I don’t have a preference, but the rest of my family has very strong preferences. My mom was convinced for the longest time that I was eating with the “wrong” one (I can’t remember what the “right” one is for her), so she’d always get me the “wrong” one, which is also what my sister likes. I just went along because I genuinely don’t care. Then my mom got very upset one day when I was using the “right” one, cause she was insistent that I always liked the other one. Nah, I just like cake.
