But Mug root beer isn’t even good. I’d rather just drink Pepto Bismol.

They don’t have to take away your power if you stop yourself from using it first. Don’t willingly give up your voice.

Maybe there are a very, very few women that like getting pounded for over an hour straight, but I haven’t dated one yet.
I have. She loved going for marathon sex sessions.
Just not with me.

I read your first paragraph before giving up. You can’t be understood if people give up communicating with you entirely.
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 weeks ago:
I’m shocked that the people who stand to benefit from it have a different definition than we do.
i’m sure they’d be fine with it if it were their kids on the receiving end, right?

- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 3 weeks ago:
I ditched Microsoft on my new build back in Feb. I installed Mint and it’s been a really smooth transition for me. I can still do everything I used to, although I know there are some use cases where it’s a problem for people. All the games I’ve tried run well.
But it does give me peace of mind that someone isn’t going to change my settings in a way that benefits them in a patch. I feel like I’m working with my OS to get things done instead of wrestling against what some corporate MBA wants.

Also on this note, if there’s a turn lane get fully in it before turning. It may as well not even be there at all if you’re gonna sit half out into the driving lane to slow down.

That’s a little drastic, but they do protect the babies while they make their way into the water. I went out to watch a release of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles and it was amazing.
First, they have signs all over the beach that if you see a mother laying eggs in the sand, leave her alone but mark the spot once she leaves. Phone the number on the sign and they’ll send out a team to collect the eggs. They incubate them safely and once they hatch they schedule a release. You can sign up to come and watch.
The turtles use the rising sun as a guide to get them to the ocean, so the release is done very early in the morning before sunrise. The seagulls in the area start to gather around out of curiosity, and the conservationists release them on the beach. They can’t put them directly in the water because they need to imprint on the beach so they know where to return to lay their eggs.
The baby turtles start rushing toward the water and the seagulls see a free meal, however they have people with long poles with banners at the end to keep them from getting too close. Everyone cheered when they reached the water, but that’s just the start for them. Of the roughly 150 turtles released, only 1% of them will survive to reproduce, meaning only 1-2 of them will ever see this beach again.

They also eat nectar and are pollinators of various plants.
There’s no way we could simply remove a creature as numerous and widespread as mosquitoes without any consequences.
