I wish the article specified whether downloadable images of pizza actually sold for thousands of dollars or whether they were simply listed for that much. Like I can put my toenail clippings up on eBay with a $1000 price tag but it doesn't mean people are buying them.

Two years ago I was walking my dog at night on the same route I always take him, when a man appeared out of nowhere and said "Good evening". Scared the shit out of both me and the dog. He was a white guy, extremely tall and lanky, wearing a black suit. He tried to chat with me a bit about my dog and the whole time he had this giant, fucking creepy smile on his face that seemed inhuman. Like imagine the creepy smile from that Smile movie that came out last year.

Every fiber of my being was telling me to get the fuck away from this guy, and even the dog kept trying to pull me away. I rudely interrupted what he was saying and excused myself and walked away quickly. When I was a few feet away I turned around and he was gone.

I went back home and must've been white as a ghost because my boyfriend immediately asked what was wrong and I gave him the rundown. Just to be safe, we avoided that street from then on.

I know this story is super lame compared to some other experiences here, but it left a strong impression on me and I'm convinced that I came in contact with something otherworldly.

Wish I could say that I'd move to another country, but realistically I can't afford that. I'd guess I'd live life as normal but I'd always be paranoid at the increased risk of violence against trans people.

My grandma used to do this. It really is a satisfying treat.

Duolingo. Why can't I just pay $100 or whatever one time? Languages don't change to the extent that it needs to be a subscription.

There was an early 2000s anime movie that explored this idea. It was called Voices of a Distant Star.

There are definitely videogame communities. Not sure about TV, though. You could always make one.

I can't wait til we as a society get over shaming small dicks. I don't have a dick but it's cringy to me when people use "small dick" as an insult like this.

This happens all the time to me on Android. Sites, especially Google searches, sometimes take 30 seconds to 2 minutes to load. It's frustrating when I'm in a rush.

I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that this board member also agrees that things aren't working as they should, and a shake-up needs to happen even if it means they lose their position too.

An ice pack helped me in this situation in the past. Numbs it right up and stops the itching.
