  Back in caveman times, no-one had a smartphone with a torch on it to help see the caves. It was all done using flip-phones with just the screen lit up. Those poor artists :(

  Genuinely cool shower thought though, I wonder if it’s true

  Guys, I think I may be stupid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How true is it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My eyes are getting worse over time, so I get new glasses every four or five years. When I switch glasses, I suddenly realise that trees have individual leaves, they’re not just a green blob. Anything over ~1.5 meters away is blurry without glasses. I can see fine for most things but I can’t read or tell the time or see fine lines at those distances

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can probably still be emotionally attached to someone, even if they’re not around anymore?

  I can be, and I would like to be, but it never seems to work out that way… Part of my question is to work out what other people do and what I’m doing wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that sounds like me. I’ve only really had it happen twice where people have come back into my life, but one of them is now my best friend again after I didn’t see or talk to them for years. The other example moved away for about eight years and although we were close (before or after) we did just carry on the same relationship we had before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am ND, so part of this is trying to diagnose what I’m doing wrong and part of it is trying to understand what everyone else is doing haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s true that I don’t seem to need company in the same way that lots of people do, but I don’t think that’s the issue here. I have good friendships with people in person, but can’t seem to keep them up online. I think I’m just not as comfortable / good at talking over text for the more in-depth and interesting conversations that are worth having friends for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really cool. I wanted to start playing D&D online with the friend that prompted this question, but she doesn’t really have the time (or I’m not important enough to make time for, I guess) :/

  Kinda sucks, but that’s what happens sometimes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of a long-distance friendship?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the input. I do have closer friendships in person, but once we move apart (geographically) it just sort of… fades. Based on these replies, I think I’m just not very good at talking over text

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so you don’t have to bend down, can be helpful for less mobile people with slip-on shoes

  What if the word “warm” had more than one meaning, and wasn’t always referring to the temperature?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#notaseagull⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy having semi-serious discussions about nonsense like this, so I appreciate RubberElectron’s reply calling me out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#notaseagull⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re an ornithologist writing a scientific paper, you’d presumably be using a genus + species in Latin rather than any colloquial name anyway, while still acknowledging that they fall under the umbrella term “seagull” for most people. But I’m a descriptive linguist, rather than prescriptive, and that’s really what this meme is about (it’s not about seagulls)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#notaseagull⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If 90% of the population call them seagulls, and 99% of the population understand what you mean when you say “seagull”, then yes, they are actually called seagulls

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Badgers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve witnessed a European badger stand up to a golden retriever much bigger than it barking and growling aggressively in its face and the badger stood its ground. I don’t know if it was too scared to turn away or if it genuinely wanted to fight, but it was brave AF either way. (also I’ve never seen such a clean badger, but tbf most examples I see are dead on the road :/ )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m questioning whether they did anything illegal. It’s quite obvious (to me, at least) that what they did is morally wrong

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why though, what did they do wrong? They’re allowed to set their prices how they like as long as they’re not coluding with competitors.

  (I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, obviously, but they are just doing a capitalism)
