This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.
A decade ago, I was annoyed by emojis. Hate that shit.
But then some PM decorated all the knowledge base page titles in our Confluence to have a icon in the front to visually group the goal.
And that’s when I learned how valuable a good emoji can be.
Speak for yourself. I had a security guard who watched me scan then try to run up to me when I finished to recheck my stuff.
Like dude, you watched me from the beginning.
It’s always a hassle for me. Items not scanning. The machine screaming about the item not weighing correctly. The machine screaming at you because you moved your item.
It’s great for quick purchases. But I’m going to a cashier if I have more than 10 items.

Have you tried, or are you a coward?
Bro I’m laughing my ass off you made my Sunday.
We’ll just push that 4-top, 4-top, 6-top, 5-top together and make a table at this server station while blocking fire escapes.
Yep. Most of the towns I lived in looked like this.
I know this guy who is absolutely ridiculous about this.
On one hand, he can’t stand women’s groups, gets upset about women’s sports, can’t stop dismissing anything that isn’t solely masculine like yoga, dance, and even rages on women artists and musicians.
On the other hand, has BEGGED OUT LOUD to people (I’m not even his friend) to get him connected with “chicks”.
I have no idea how to tell this guy he’s a miserable hateful fuck who will die alone because of his own personality.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netOPto Technology@beehaw.org•ChatGPT is shifting rightwards politically37·4 months agoMy root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.
The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.
And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.
Yeah this smells real fishy.
What country? Was there any verification beyond the private message? All arrests records are public.
There was a foreign exchange girl from France. She was brutal. She said whatever was on her mind. She wouldn’t even blink as she said in broken English that you werent worth the air you are breathing.
So yeah, this story checks out.
God I wanted her to step on me.
Wait what?
Not just platforms them, but also outright approves or does little to challenge it/call them out.
I know a few women who enjoy 40k. But the ones I know enjoy it like how I enjoy it… Just painting figurines, making little dioramas, and pretending like we understand the rules while some smarter player gives up and just tells us what to do next.
The Thailand one. Accurate but yuck
