Do you think when the phone was invented anyone had anxiety about being dragged into a conversation that could have just been a letter?
Though tbf not everyone would have had a phone.
The problem with starting a conversation is that you have to continue a conversation.
I would say I'm spoiled by instant messaging, but maybe I just long for the telegram?
It can be done, there's some info on the internet (may your search be free from AI slop) A thing I saw mentioned was gum arabic, a thickening agent, so the water and colour don't bleed into your paper as much. unfortunately nothing I found at the time gave me exact measurements.
Screen shot from 'Mean Girls': Regina George: "So you agree?"
Do you think our limited time on earth is precious?
So you agree? Minimum wage should be raised because people are sacrificing their valuable time to work?
Haha I just noticed 'Artist' so there's that too.
just the mental illness XD
Nowhere near bingo, but I respect your vibes.
Oh wow! I wouldn't even have realised. Laezel got mad at me for saying she was a good fighter.
No first date and she was expecting to knock socks?

I am living my best asexual life.
Went to Withers to adjust my class and the NERVE on this guy!
Was throwing SHADE at me for being single!
Pearls were clutched!
her name is syzygy_designs, just in case you're curious!
Funnily the rabbit hole I tried to go down yesterday that was flooded with AI, was a Vietnam War one.
I came across a lot of stuff that glorifies wartime activities.
I follow a costumer on insta! She is so cool, and seems really nice.
She's even made clothes for Muppets, MUPPETS!
It was a messed up thing to do during the Vietnam war, but stolen valour adds another layer of cringe.
Tried to go down a rabbit hole today, but it was flooded with AI slop. :C
like he's trying to introduce the concepts for more complicated future maths, but it seems some basic maths had not been covered yet?
like the kids understood the use of 1 over infinity... but there was not a practical application for them to calculate.
Grew up watching American media, I had no idea what calculus was and why it was so vexing.
I decided to watch a video of 5th grade calculus. And this vid was about how kids struggle because they didn't get the basic foundational concepts of it.
there's some cart before the chicken happening here.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a tip to Bunnings.
If we didn't have art we wouldn't have written language to communicate the complexities of everything else we value.
Was laying in bed when a spider dropped from the ceiling onto my pillow.
Excuse me, but does that look like a bloody tuffet to you, Sir???

Only in fiction. Troop Beverly Hills was too good for reality.
Oh also, this might only be for the Aussie charter, but membership is low. People don't wanna join any more. *shocked emoji*
Anyway, it's gonna be a pass from me. Instead I'm going to privateer their guidebooks and see if there's any thing of value.
Strike 3. The council of leaders is not elected but appointed by the council.
And of course it's towards the latter part of the wiki page that it covers the history of child abuse.
Of course, I also have anecdotal knowledge from someone that experienced life in the scouts, so I was not surprised.
I did a bit of research and it's about everything I expected it would be.
Strike 1. Only white kids in the promo pics on their official website.
Strike 2. Oaths where they pledge to serve the reigning monarch and god (or you can say "spiritual beliefs" but the foundation is the same)
Was looking into girl guides for my kid because my sister suggested it as an option to get her into. (I'm not keen on team sports)
I was dubious because it seemed like one of those "white" institutions. Filled with people who wanted clout but didn't become members of the clergy.
Photo of a spiderman toy on the shelf. The toy is Spider-Gwen as a Pterodactyl. Titled: Ghostasaurus and Spidey.
Spiderman meme: "But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs."
The madman got to Gwen!
Peppermint oil works okay too. The problem is they come from every nook and cranny. And some just have their entire life cycle hidden in the house. Truly, house spiders.
