I mean, yes. But fbk messenger is the quickest and safest way for me to get some local random to come pick up a bird bath I don't want.

Sounds like it was a specialist surgery that Norway's smaller population doesn't accommodate. Hardly an indication that other countries are flocking to the US for their on demand healthcare.

This is clearly AI. I hate you.

Just an FYI incase they weren't typos but the word you're after in the first and last paragraph is 'loses'; the one in the second para is correct.

It's both sweet and bland somehow. Pointless.

I'm waiting for invisible. I'm almost 40. I just want to do things without anyone noticing me, let alone staring, yelling, hitting on me etc. I just want to be an anonymous entity moving through the world, not a woman-that-men-want-to-fuck.

I've been that since I was 12.

Client feedback.

They're wrong, but because they're paying, they're right.

I'm unnaturally good at flat pack furniture assembly. And I know how pathetic a brag that is, given it's a set of instructions and equipment. But everyone I know complains about it. I genuinely like it.

I set out all the materials and count them against the inventory to make sure they're all there. Then I follow the instructions.

Whenever I've helped someone else do it, they start trying to figure out what attaches to what in the abstract, they tear open bags of bolts as they go and grab the one that looks right only to realise later that it's 2mm shorter than the one they're meant to use.

I don't get it. It's a recipe with all the ingredients provided. Prep the ingredients, cook following instructions.

My partner, who falls into the category of just trying to guess things, is pretty much banned from assisting me until there's a bit where another human is necessary. But even then I'll make do using leverage from furniture if I can.

And that's my super long comment about how I'm good at something that's remarkably easy, because it's designed to be easy, but everyone wants to make it hard and then fight about it.

Also, here's a great song with a relevant clip:

Same? I'm really confused which ads they're taking about
