Journey to the Center of the Earth was also turned into multiple movies.

When I swallowed that sixth shot of Wild Turkey 101, I knew it was a mistake

I feel justified in never liking the switch from “private message” to “direct message” in common parlance.

I got t-boned by a SUV going 55mph.

Cracked my skull, gave me a subarachnoid hemorrhage (50/50 on surviving those), cracked a couple ribs, lacerated my spleen, and broke my pelvis into eight pieces. Spent a week in ICU, then another two weeks in a nursing home and couldn’t stand on my own two feet for almost a year, went through the PT to relearn how to walk, then COVID hit.

Found out that most of my friends were fake, outside of my partner, one person offered to help drive me to doctor’s appointments, and one person showed up a couple of times to chat through the year. Nobody brought food, or offered to help with the housework, or wanted to help with errands. Not even my family or my partner’s family.

Because of the whiplash, I’ve since developed bone spurs in my neck that are pressing on my spinal cord and between that, the pre-existing brain tumor, and the TBI, I’ve not been able to hold down steady employment since.

Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

what year is it???

And if all that sounds too intimidating, you can also consider a nude bath house, spa, or sauna. It’s a much shorter period of time, and a much smaller number of people, but you can still get the experience of just casually chatting with strangers au naturel. The one I went to had a lot of old people, but everybody was super chill.

Agreed. To expand on this, I’d also add that complementing choices is often better than complimenting their body. Edit: particularly if you don’t know them very well.

For example, the “that outfit makes you look good” really is implying they didn’t look good before, but also “I love that sweater” is complimenting their stylistic decisions, regardless of what their body looks like.

Focus on the person and their personality, not their biology.

Drives me insane. Like, you mother fuckers aren’t here to get a grade, you’re here to learn this shit so you know what to do when you see it in whatever hospital hires your dumb ass.

This is happening because the job market is absolutely fucked. Students are under the impression that grades are what will drive job prospects, because nobody is hiring on merit any more.

My SIL has been a nurse in the cardiac surgery department for nearly a decade, and even her hospital is now using AI to screen potential new hires.

We’re so cooked.

Its been a couple years, but I remember my map path thing showed I had to go into a pink hostile area. I figured it was a stealth mission, but I couldn’t pull it off and gave up.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I played partway through, then ran into that quest where Arthur was supposed to meet one of his party members in Blackwater, but it just kept spawning bounty hunters and I gave up after dying like ten times and not finding this guy.

I strongly suspect that this sort of thing is done as a gradual rollout to gauge response. You may have just been lucky enough to avoid being sorted into a test group.

I’m not going to show you my ID, but I can hold an extensive conversation with you about Gaia Online, which should prove my age quite well.

Huh, I could have sworn it said MrNiceGuy a minute ago

I bet we could convince the lemon stealing whores to join the lemon party.

Canonically, yes. He was the son of a nymph, and was considered beautiful even as a baby. He got cursed by Nemesis because he spurned all admirers, and they petitioned for revenge.

That’s good then. A lot of stuff uses the standard numberpad.

The thing with pattern unlock is that it is inherently less secure than the other options

Does Graphene scramble the keypad between PIN entries? If not, it’s functionally the same as a pattern unlock.

I think this is Black heart

Out of all the displays in the house, there’s only one 4k computer monitor. The dumb tv is a 1080p, my other monitor is a 720p, then my partner has a DVI and a VGA monitor for his computer.

neumorphism

Yeah, because fuck people with bad eyesight amirite.
