I read somewhere that there are actually two types of fiber, and they have different effects, but most food is only ever labelled “fiber” so idk.

something something bottled water left in the sun something microplastics.

Because migrants are generally peaceful, non-violent people who just want to work hard and improve their lives.

ur gonna give birth to a meme.

Businesses wouldn’t offer free self-defense classes – liability! They’d just put up a ribbon in tribute of all the fallen babies. Maybe they’d sell ribbons too, so you can honor the babies.

Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.

fleet of accounts

I like the use of the term “fleet” in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.

ikr it’s not that bad at all. Reminds me of dazzle camouflage for ships.

For all we know you could be a victim in an abusive family. I’m sorry to see that people are blaming you without further asking about your circumstances.

FWIW I think it’s a bad older-generation thing, to express your affection by criticizing someone and insulting them.

Yeah, I didn’t really like the genre for a long time either, until I was in a place where I kinda needed it.

I see it as an example of cozy slice-of-life. Kind of like Azumanga Daioh but in a deli with a bear and a plant.

much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.

yeah agreed! Back in the day I used to generate text for fun with n-grams and I never went higher than bigrams bc it was boring without those unexpected disfluencies. I thought of it being like an electric guitar, you want it to sound a little raw.

The cat knew he was in trouble and was like: OK, this ONE TIME I will come running to you.

That’s what I was gonna say. It doesn’t even have to be a religious thing. To a lot of people church/mosque/temple is a cultural thing.

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

History’s like that too. People took their best guesses, but nobody knew for sure.

Either that, or driving cars to the junkyard to be crushed.
