Venus isn’t a planet either. It’s a hell-sphere. But that makes it even more rad 🤘

Absence of an inner monologue does not mean that there is no thought process. I’ve done just fine without one myself.

My daughter has scored very high in math this year in fifth grade so they wanted to give her more advanced stuff, like moving into basic statistics. She isn’t having any of it though, she hates math and gets terrible anxiety from it. Can’t say I blame her, I was the same way.

I quit with apps on LG after whatever I was watching or doing would cut out with an error message saying that the TV was out of memory. It was particularly egregious when I was playing video games. Now I have a Roku sound bar, but look where that’s gonna get me.

Can you really call Paul Bunyan a “good guy”? The canopy over North America was once monumental, but after he chopped it all down, it is mere legend, fading from memory with the death of each passing generation
