  In their 90s? Gimme some bread and dancing then!

  It’s a huge, weird mess of a flop: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPL7OZF1iI4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, though clues are few and far between (the

  First age was our time, then humans created an AI powerful enough to genetically engineer humans to be able to do magic,

  and that led to the Age of Legends.

  Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren’t sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like “ER now!” (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it’s never happened again, but it’s definitely stayed with me.)

  Great criteria. Another “straight to the ER” one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it’s easy to assume it’s fine, but it’s not.

  Deleted scenes from Eye of Argon?

  The article says the mandate is 2 days in the office per week for employees who live within 50 miles of an office. The quoted exec lives farther from an office than that. Everyone can still work remotely 3 days per week.

  Patriarchy oppresses us all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App development⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing.

  (Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

  Me too, I hate it! Not in a “let’s ban it” way, just in the skin-crawly way that lots of people can’t stand to see pictures of spiders, or like body horror.

  There were some good tips in this podcast episode: npr.org/…/tackle-your-medical-debt-with-life-kit

  This is a plot point in The Accidental Time Machine: goodreads.com/…/21608.The_Accidental_Time_Machine; the main character ::: spoiler spoiler jumps forward into the future a bunch of times, longer jumps each time, and hits a time where the human population is almost gone, and they’re like “yeah, the fucking time travelers keep showing up and bringing old diseases”:::

  My brother and his wife would give their kids a “special treat” at bedtime: warm milk with protein powder. Worked great.

  Yeah, I’ve been buying more expensive floss (Cocofloss) and it’s awesome. God I’m old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am 100% gonna hurt myself⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first time I joined a gym, they gave me a free orientation where one of the staff asked me what I was planning to do and showed me how to use the gym’s equipment to do that stuff. Results come from consistency, and consistency comes from goals, and even a short conversation can help set good goals that are achievable and that can support consistent behavior.

  I also have a Pixel 2 XL! (Because I got it refurbed for $50…) But either way hi phone buddy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We had one at camp too! It was fun and I don’t remember any injuries. That was the early '90s, though, child safety was more ‘eh’.
