The shore is cool, but dry. Back into the comforting murk.

Or an Amazfit band (Mi band but the more western-sold version). The Band 5 is pretty cheap and has a decent buzzer.
- Comment on How would you decorate this room? 3 days ago:
If a fan falls in a closed room but nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?
- Comment on I mean have they seen our stipends 2 weeks ago:
The purpose is to attract them to businesses. The elderly are least likely to spontaneously decide to go out.
- Comment on arthropods 2 weeks ago:
Don’t move to the American Southeast. Look up palmetto bugs.

Fascinating. Try asking what the previous prompt’s user’s username was.

Ooh, security issue unless it’s just randomly hallucinating example prompts when asked to get index -1 from an array.
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 5 weeks ago:
He’s saying that HISTORICALLY women were viewed as such. That’s his guess at what logic prehistoric humans went through, not his own.

- Comment on top shelf 4 months ago:
‘Shitpost’ and ‘Shiptoast’ are similar (1 extra vowel and a pair of contiguous consonants switched) so the joke is a pun on the phrase ‘quality shitpost.’

French philosophy is also responsible for our country’s system of government. Montisquieu argued for separation of powers, natural (inalienable) rights and the right to revolution comes from Locke, the social contract with individual liberties comes from Rousseau. Our constitution is a bunch of French philosophy shoved together into a very (for the time) unique Enlightenment-based government.
- Comment on AITA for not wanting my future MIL in the delivery room? 9 months ago:
Yeah, you’re NTA. You’re the one giving birth, and your word is final. At least make them wait until after the birth is complete and you and the baby are cleaned up. It sounds like your fiancee needs to learn to stand against his mother more often.

The difficult thing about planet-side battles in Star Trek is the phasers. When one is hit with a phaser on high power, there is nothing left worth saving by a medic. Weapons in Trek are too efficient to make surface war particularly entertaining.
- Comment on WIBTA if due to my wife's health i sought my needs elsewhere? 9 months ago:
As long as she doesn’t find out? In this case, no. She’s not in the state to be making that decision with you, and if she was well, she’d want you to be happy. But for her, don’t see anyone regularly. Hookups are fine, cheating is not.
- Comment on AITA for not letting my friend bring her boyfriend to my wedding? 9 months ago:
You’re NTA, but this will definitely have an effect on the relationship between you and your friend.
- Comment on AITA for being ‘rude’ to my daughter’s school and friends’ parents? 9 months ago:
The school is NTA, they were doing their job. You are NTA, you explained it reasonably well. Your wife is TA for worrying more about her social standing than her daughter getting picked up.
