It drives me nuts that em dash use is assumed to be LLM. I use em dashes all the time, I like them and I don’t want to stop using them and I also don’t want anyone to assume I’m a dumbass LLM

The devil made my dog eat my homework

Shoot I also recently got the freaking green line a few weeks ago. Yeah I also refuse to have a phone without a microsd option, why TF are they doing away with that?

In the states, is döner kebab basically the same as gyro or shawarma?

Not carbonated enough yet

Thanks, I hate it.

Do you have a source for that? Genuinely asking, I use a VPN and would like to read more into it

See I’ve heard the opposite, at least for deer. Deer seek out salts since they grow antlers every year which takes a ton of calcium, so peeing on trees makes them target the bark where you’ve peed. Not totally sure tho

LSD and shrooms are not addictive, and they actually have some really good outcomes for certain mental illnesses, such as depression and PTSD. I know several people who were suicidal and depressed teenagers whose entire outlook on life changed after one trip at a somewhat young age.

Yeah who didn’t see this coming a mile away

And also, those years aren’t exactly right for the generational categories. Millennials are 1980-1996, boomers are 1946-1964, etc.

Not a doctor, but my understanding is that excessive electrolytes are hard on your kidneys. Most people do not need an electrolyte drink everyday, unless they are athletes/regularly working up a sweat or missing salts in their diet

Kangaroo Jack. Most misleading trailer ever.

Pinot noir and Swiss cheese, or a nice smoked Gouda or anything with goat cheese. Actually I think I like most cheeses, but I’m much more picky about wines. I mostly drink drier reds, Pinot being my favorite now but used to only drink cabernets and malbecs

Shoot, probably Dell? This was a few years ago, but it looked just like the Dell ones that are currently on the market.

Also, the house still has a vague burnt plastic and lithium smell, especially noticeable when I’ve been away for a day or so. I think our couch absorbed all that smoke smell :(

Ice cubes do have some smell, now that you mention it. Humans have an amazing ability to smell moisture, which we evolved for being able to find water sources. So your experience with AC could relate to how AC affects the humidity in the air perhaps.

And in context of this thread, smell is one of the largest factors for our experience of flavor. Without a sense of smell, most foods would taste relatively bland.

I’m curious what foods taste least bad to you? Also, did the surgery involve your tongue in some way?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I’ve ever owned.

I lost a very close friend to fentanyl in 2025. They even had narcan at home when it happened, but by the time their partner found them it was just moments too late.

I’m still not over it and probably never will be, the anger and grief is just so strong. Their death was so preventable. But they decided to take the risk and buy some shit from the dark web and not test it first, and they decided to hide it from their partner and friends.

I wish we lived in a world where drugs were decriminalized and destigmatized, maybe my friend would have felt more comfortable giving their partner a heads up before trying some sketchy dark web product. Unfortunately, there is just nothing that truly helps severe chronic pain, and our medical system sucks.

Anyways y’all, please be safe out there if you’re inclined to try anything off the street. Get ahold of some test kits and narcan, and please have someone you trust supervise. Fent has been put into so many things – including coke, Adderall, Xanax – nothing is “safe” anymore (not saying drugs were safe before, but the risks are so much higher than they used to be ~15 years ago)
