I'm going to call BS on this because some random bloke said you're a bot and those pics are clearly AI-generated.
I jest, of course. Both pics are sweet in their own way and I kinda feel both on some level 😘

That would be fantastic. Alt-text can be a great way to add additional info that the character limit squashes, and I know a few posters who have a really good alt-text snark game.

That may be what they want but if they're pushing it primarily for the workplace I do not think they'll get it. As for the latter question, ugh! I don't wish to sully my brain with that thought. I'm off to do something fun instead 😜

He totally is! And the man who plays him is one of the best humans, too.

They don't see the value in play. They think a technology is only worthwhile if it can be put to the task of making money as a first order effect, rather than as a secondary effect of being fun.

Bats are essential parts of their ecosystems. Miller is just a parasite.

I'm sorry, WTAF did I just read...!? That is so bizarre I literally cannot even.

That is a truly marvellous description! I'm going to have to file that one away for some future suitably egregious waste of oxygen. But yes, has this 'teacher' actually read the Bard...?

That's fightin' talk! I may be nominally English but I'll be joining the Scottish ranks for this battle.

Can I deposit two? Or is that likely to incur pointy bits?

I've honestly not read any reviews (I caught the general buzz). It's not an exaggeration to say that I hear a new game from you is coming out and it's straight on my wishlist. I know it's going to be high quality, thoughtfully written, with obvious attention to detail. I'm sure I not alone in that.

In this house that would be me. Known Associate screams there's a spider or other thing with too many legs, I come running with the glass and card, catch it, and then we both look at it through the glass and comment on it's size, markings, or whatever. And then it gets put outside to go on it's way.

Same. If I'm not in the mood for sundry books, computer games, arty-crafty stuff or lego, then just wikipedia can take me down all manner of rabbit holes. Start off reading about some kind of fungus, end up on military aircraft by way of medieval stonemasonry. Not sure how easy that would be tbh

The very notion of having to figure out what to do with a sudden increase in free time is so totally beyond me my first thought was "How can you live like that?" Like do you not have hobbies, is there nothing that interests you? Is eat/sleep/work the sum total of your existence? It's beyond sad.

Would those long blue bags contain poles for pole vaulting? I never stopped to consider that athletes might have their own but now I'm wondering... Are there different grades, as it were, to suit vaulters of particular height or weight ranges? I hope my query makes sense - bit outside my knowledge.

And never forget, it's not *you* that gets to decide if you have nothing to fear or not. The innocent today could be tomorrow's guilty.

Without a doubt they are up there with Shonen Knife in sheer delightfulness.

I think that would require a modicum of self-awareness.

I'm convinced he's living in an actual sitcom. Like a real-like Truman Show.

I did not know that! If I'm ever in a position to have rats I shall bear that in mind.

That sounds about right. "Is it food or can I play with it?" Delightful creatures.

Yay, dyslexia! I did not even notice the spelling was different. Thank you for pointing that out. Anyway, I still think something pronounced as chirp is an odd choice of name.

I think they're need more of an attention span for that, something those I've met previously haven't been overly-endowed with.

And now I have the bizarre image in mind of someone waiting for a bus to work, only the bus is a sandworm... being ridden by people in business suits... I guess that must be today's episode of "WTF Brain?"

Highly important, I'd say, especially given homemadeness! But also making me feel hungry... and I have neither nachos nor the makings thereof.

That is genius! Although <whispers> I think it's LotR, not The Hobbit. (Yes, I am a pedant - I have pendant that sez so).

I just know a bit about perfumery stuff. The closest I've got to anything kink-related is knowing a few people who are into it. Not very exciting really, sorry!
comment in response to
post
They may say that but in the perfume context it certainly is not, so ner 😜 Besides, the correct pronunciation sounds way more exotic and mysterious and I honestly would have thought they'd go with that given most people probably think kink is rather out of the ordinary.

That does make sense, actually. I'm so totally not an expert on anything weight-lifting related that I never stopped to consider that. Still makes me twitch, though 😆

And it's definitely not pronounced like the noise a bird makes.

20kg but also 22oz. I love how they make a point of stating it's U.S. made but then hedge on the units.

I've suggestions that it was cleared with the US beforehand, too. Yay. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF INTERESTING TIMES DAMMIT! Aargh. Sorry.

That curse has it right about interesting times. I'm tired of interesting, I want to go back to the boring times!
