This is nothing new, people have been saying this shit since before the internet became a household thing. (I organise all my movies alphabetically, I’m soooo OCD!) It’s just the vernacular that changes.

I know a few seriously good artists that have aphantasia, being able to see things in your head is not necessary for making art.

It just makes you sound like you have a lisp, since that letter doesn’t sound how you think. Most English th sounds are closer to ð than a þ these days.

Being a girl trying to talk about video games with boys was generally horrible, it’s not just the multiplayer experience, the ‘you like games, then name every X ever!’ followed by bullying has been alive and well for over 30 years.

It’s by Sarah C Andersen, saw it myself a few days ago on bluesky. https://bsky.app/profile/sarahseeandersen.bsky.social/post/3lx3lisawac2a

Iceland is already part of Schengen, and the EEA.

Earlier today I was sat in a dark room reading this thread, I looked at the picture above and it clearly had blue tones with warm dark grey. The dress was obviously blue/black.

I’m sitting outside in the light now, looking at the same picture on the same phone in the same app and now it’s white and gold/brown.

Without going on my pc and colour picking it myself I can’t tell what colour the picture really is since my eyes seem all to happy to lie to me about it.

I started using adblockers when I got tired of scraping my PC clean of malware every week, but kept YouTube whitelisted. The third time they tried to show me a 27 minute ad I gave up and blocked them too.

Alexa.

You sound like the person that had a meltdown at her office when finding out a coworker was gay because she couldn’t stop thinking vividly about all the sinful gay sex they must be having with their partner.

Your lack of knowledge should be a reason for you to shut up.

I hate cameras that do the pre-flash with a burning passion, there’s a period in time where every (flash) photo of me either has me with my eyes closed or visibly straining to keep them open.

Vodka, snipers and Nokia.

I’m guessing it’s supposed to be “I am, baby” (in response to ‘are you coming home’) but written in a panicked haste.

Anyone thinking she’d have the time or calm to properly spell check before sending when her kid’s in danger is delusional.

Horses only eat grass because it’s convenient, they regularly eat baby chicks, injured birds, lizards and eggs they find lying around. (The video of the horse casually hoovering up a line of chicks as the mama hen walked them across the paddock haunts me still…)

I’m pretty sure there’s a maximum of 2 crows on that image. Maybe less.

Polar bears aren’t native there, and you have no idea what the natural area is like. It’s an island built on fishing, all the towns are on the coast, where the bears would like to hunt. Polar bears don’t live there, because it’s not an environment that can sustain them, and the biggest native wild animal is the arctic fox. Rest is all farm animals with some reindeer introduced to the highlands in the 70’s for game/sport hunting.

You’re arguing from pure ignorance.

So you want a non-native animal with no suitable habitat and no food source other than humans to be given special preferential treatment over the humans that happen to live there, allowing it to roam and maul at it’s leisure while people politely try to shoo it away from the child buffet?

You have zero context and zero knowledge of the situation, the country or that environment but sit there on your high horse pretending to be morally superior to the people in actual mortal danger.

I guess you never heard of the potato famine then, which was a type of genocide visited upon the Irish by the British. Hence the 'sudden’jump from potatoes to bombing hospitals.

That’s the source of potato jokes people crack about the Irish.

Yep, the main reason I started using adblockers in the first place is because I was tired of the weekly disinfection routine of my pc.

Hiding ads wasn’t my main motivation to start with, I just wanted to keep my system safe and shit free.

One of our cats loved salady stuff, cucumbers, sweetcorn and bell peppers especially. He was never possessive over food, not even tuna, except for red bell peppers, - the only time we heard him growl at his brother was whenever we gave him a few pieces.
