Because it's a little TOO easy.

Your body and brain know you didn't put any effort into it, not because you were in a rush, but just because you couldn't be arsed to. So it punishes you by making you hyper aware that you're consuming the uncanny valley of food. It's not NOT food, but it's not FOOD.

To be clear, I'm just using "you" generically. Absolutely no judgement here lol

Is anyone scraping LinkedIn's data to compile and shame pro-Israeli / anti-Palestinian sentiments and thereby creating a need to censor "both sides"?

It's an honest question because I don't know. But being pro-Israel is certainly the default majority/establishment stance right now, with pro-Palestine a vocal minority (at least in the West), so directly comparing them ignores the relevant nuances.

On a scale from "a lot" to "all of them", how many marijuanas did you inject before you typed this out? 😂

"Nobody better touch my stuff..."

Good luck OP, I certainly hope your username is NOT relevant in this case.

The current "stock photo meme" fad is about as interesting as a "K-Mart clothes" themed costume party.

Even as irony, it's boring.

I first got turned onto Ghost earlier this year, and while I really like the retro tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of a lot of their stuff, The Twenties just leans a little too hard into sounding like it came out of a rock-themed Broadway show.

Btw, I just read a comment on C/trees about taking a listen to your favorite band's worst song while high... 😉

Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile

Not sure why you were being downvoted. That's more of a legit question than the one about BMW owners not using turn signals.

Have a protest upvote!

I must be an idiot. When I read the title, I first thought it was a non-native English speaker asking about people who had Tamagotchis back in the day...

As in... a talking button you keep for a pet, not a button FOR your pet to use.

For me it's the period next to the spacebar. I think my right thumb comes down at just the wrong angle to touch both at the same time. One of these days maybe I'll wise up and change the layout.... but not today.

That seems more than a tad hyperbolic. My wife and I enjoy sitting in our backyard next to the fire and stargazing every now and again. We'll catch maybe a dozen satellites on a good night, during the couple hours post-sunset when you can actually catch the sunlight glinting off them. By about 2 hours after sunset, the number of objects that are both high enough to still reflect sunlight and large enough to see is pretty tiny.

I see vastly more planes with blinking lights and bright landing lights than I do satellites, and this has been the case for decades, but somehow that's not a threat to our enjoyment of the night sky?

One of my favorite examples in (American) English has to be "There's more than one way to skin a cat"; meaning there are multiple viable strategies for the task or problem at hand.

I never really appreciated how morbid it is until I saw the shocked face of a fluent but non-native english speaking colleague after using it in a meeting.
