  You misspelled three minutes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They just sniff the finger

  Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're so predictable⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it probably has fewer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a hint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think “boomer” means, kid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, literally everyone rounds pi, since it’s transcendental.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restroom Location⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was watching people undress and relieve themselves on the sidewalk in August over on State Street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But not arbitrarily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Years measure time, not distance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty damn arbitrary on a universal scale

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The easy they taught us cursive was the complete opposite of the intent of cursive. Rigidly proscribed characters with marks only for form, ignoring all function. It was agonizingly tedious and physically painful writing all of those nonsensical scrawls. I immediately switched back to my own chicken scratch after grade school because it was not only orders of magnitude faster, but at least didn’t make my hand painfully seize up into a claw.

  Decades later, as my handwriting evolved, a number of my own script letters began to resemble those wretched cursive runes, because I had apparently blindly stumbled upon the actual correct method for writing to flow from nib to parchment, as opposed to whatever those torturous rituals scarred me with as a child.

  I’ve spent vastly more time in SF than Columbus, yet I’ve seen more homeless ass and street shit in the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restroom Location⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly you’ve never been to Columbus, Ohio

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried thought. I’d like to go with plankton for a whole now, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's good to have goals.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why? You can put stuff in a microwave at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you microwave a dried squid? That makes zero sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, they nabbed a screenshot from one of the best episodes of DS9

  DO NOT look up screenshots of Terry Farrell in Trials and Tribble-ations if you are not prepared to immediately fall in love with her again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The original post says “healthy,” not “eat healthy.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better safe than sorry⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re far less common than digital clocks now. Same with the bullshit cursive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Being “taught” cursive in school was torture, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better safe than sorry⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you can’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL BASE is an acronym

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, not healthy, then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨snail lyfe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨snail lyfe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Kids fucking get it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of her

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relativity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is from the book Science Made Stupid, published in 1985, and it shares the same space in my heart as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

  Yes.
