Anything else I need is in my backpack.

Do you know what this is from? The art style looks cool

They must be cumming buckets once they realized journalists are gormless enough to blindly regurgitate their press releases about how these are AI driven job losses and totally not layoffs due to typical business fuckery.

due to them not attacking Iran when they were in power

Ah yes, before the Strait of Hormuz existed 😂

I wonder at which point ‘where did I leave my eggs?’ becomes a greater evolutionary pressure than ‘I need to hide my eggs’, because I’m assuming cassowaries haven’t had to worry about the latter for a while!

I loved the maps.

Population of CA: 39 million

We have a tub/shower that has a built in shelf against the wall, and our boy loves to hop up there while we’re showering and just watch. He’s not concerned about our wellbeing at all, he just loves watching water run 😂

Thanks! I’ve tried to broach the topic of counseling before, but they’re in a red state and it sounds like there’s a huge stigma against actually using it. I know it would be illegal for anyone to disclose he asked about it, but that doesn’t stop small town bullshit. Then people wonder why these areas have brain drain problems…

I have a relative that does run 911 calls. If you’re OK with me asking, do you have any advice for him when it comes to recovering emotionally after calls involving kids? He has kids himself and he’s always shaken for a while after anything with a kid.

That’s really interesting, I had no idea there was a connection to social hormones. I wonder if there’s a correlation (among catnip responders) between how social a cat is vs how they react to catnip?

I had an otherwise extremely timid near-feral cat who went VIOLENTLY insane on catnip, and our highly social boy we have now is just moderately into it, nowhere near the amount of excitement. I wonder if it’s because his social hormone receptors are already fairly activated.

Or it’s just random coincidence!

We call them bathroom parties

Doesn’t that say magico, not mango?

It’s an incredibly culturally impactful game, including in slang: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogo_do_bicho#Cultural_impact

I don’t know how else to explain that by taking public transit I’m not paying for gasoline to power a personal car, meaning money I would have spent on gasoline from the gas station is money I now have for more expensive goods I can’t avoid buying, like food. People who aren’t taking public transit are paying for more expensive shit and also more expensive gasoline.

This is basic math.

Wow, I wonder if I’ll have more or less money to buy things that cost more if I’m not spending money on gas? 🤔

[laughs in public transit]

There’s probably some cool microbiology going on down there that’s just too much of a pain in the ass to study in a lab environment. Maybe there’s a simple way to culture a bacteria sample at 200+ atmospheres of pressure and 200 C, but I wouldn’t want to be near it.

Same principle applies to writing notes by hand vs typing them, for whatever reason people remember things they’ve written significantly better than things they’ve typed.

Writing all over the text you’re reading is also a great way to organize your thoughts! I use Zotero for highlighting and writing notes to myself if I’m reading a bunch of stuff too long to reasonably print.
