Thank you for clarifying. Women often get tasked with extra emotional labor, so I wasn’t sure which way your post was going at first. I withdraw my downvote and wish you a lovely day!

I’ve had a great experience using Orion’s reader mode to use Wikipedia on my phone. Safari? Not so much. Safari’s reader mode breaks Wikipedia pages, whereas the only issue Orion has with them is not including the titles to subsections. Which I can hardly complain about when all I want is to read an article on a darkened screen before falling asleep.

It’s only the wife’s job if the husband makes calls for her, too.
At least, for me. I do and have made calls for partners, and they’ve made calls for me too. I gel best with other introverts, so we take turns when one of us doesn’t have the energy to make a phone call. No need to gender it, it’s what supportive partners do for each other.

realize i’ve never actually tried to seduce a girl
Satire maybe? Women may want to be charmed, but we don’t want to be seduced, so starting right there anon’s in for a bad time.

I’ve got a friend who throws great parties. All around the house, she has dishes and cups filled with pre-rolled joints anyone could just pick and light up.
I’m excited to go to her birthday party coming up.
- Comment on 64$ the ticket, 1040$ surcharge. 3 days ago:
It’s such a strange thing to get hostile about. Ironically, it low-key bugs me that we put the dollar sign before the number it’s indicating. “$64” is read as “sixty-four dollars,” not “dollars sixty-four.” So why write it like that? (Not rhetorical, I really want to know. I tried looking up this question to find out the answer, but haven’t found anything conclusive.) Putting the currency symbol behind the number makes more sense, like how some countries write the Euro. (Which also explains why some people might not intuitively place the dollar sign before the number - it’s their native convention and it follows clear logic.)
So maybe the point was ignorance or fear of the foreign? Or a misguided attempt at English language purity? Or they’re a former Redditor who hasn’t quite shaken off the Reddit “pointless, hostile hot-take” mentality?

- Comment on 🍺 🍻 2 weeks ago:
To build on this, this usage is called a non-count noun. Less beer, less water, less air, less sand, etc. all refer to non-countable quantities of some substance. Beer could be counted, if referred to by some metric (“one glass of beer,” “24 ounces of beer”), same as “a bottle of water,” “one tank of air,” “a truckload of sand.”
Which is all to say that you’re right. “Less beer” makes far more sense than “fewer beer.”
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 2 weeks ago:
Also not a tech person, but I am an artist. I used to consider going into digital art, but now I’m grateful I didn’t and instead have honed … I guess you can call it “manual” art? As a way to say things I make with my hands? Maybe “analog” or “traditional” art?
Point is, I haven’t seen an AI create a pencil drawing or an acrylic painting. I get the feeling that as people tire of AI generated images, they may find renewed interest in these distinctly human-made art forms. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see. For now, AI may try to steal forms and ideas, but picking up a pencil or a paintbrush and creating something on a canvas are still out of its reach (thank goodness.)

- Comment on Pioneer species 5 weeks ago:
There’s an apparently-eternal rose bush outside my childhood home. My parents wanted to change up the landscaping decades ago and have tried to remove it several times since. Each time, it sprouted back up.
My dad managed to dig it up from the root last time. Yet somehow, it still grew back!
I told them - clearly, this house does not and never has belonged to you. It belongs to this rose bush. It has decided that it lives here and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

I wish I had the permissions to install ad blocks on my work laptop. On the plus side, the kids I work with are learning that ads are to be disliked. When an ad interrupts something we’re watching, I go “booo.” Now one of my students does it, too.
At least I can consider it a form of inoculation - gotta teach ‘em young to resist the ever-present

I didn’t know what it was at all until I came to the comments. I just thought, “Why is there a random cooler rolling around? Did somebody lose it?”
Ah, can’t wait to look back on this comment a few years from now and slowly shake my head at how naive I was…
- Comment on Feynman rules 1 month ago:
I work with kids, including a bright little boy who told me that “Why?” is his favorite question. I explicitly tell him that I hope he never stops asking it. His questions challenge the depths of my knowledge and compel me to look up questions I never thought of before. I love it.
I call him my “little scientist.” He’s only 4 and he teaches my coworkers new things all the time. I feel so lucky to get to work with a little knowledge-sponge that’s as curious as I am!

Minutes ago, I was hoping to get laid by the new person I’m texting. However, it’s past 9pm on a Friday and they went to sleep. Totally understandable, I think.
Now, I’m laughing at an obscure history reference that I just learned through a community called “Really Shitty Copper,” and my nerd-brain is telling me, “This is better anyway.”
Meanwhile, some distant voice in the back of my head is yelling, “Dooooork!”
… Being in your 30s is fucking weird.

Aw, actually I did have pet cockatiels as a teen. (Sadly, not for long - my parents didn’t know how dangerous Teflon was, and my babies paid the price.)
They didn’t care to be held like this, but boy did they love face scratchies.

- Comment on When the nice guy 2 months ago:
My 7th grade English teacher didn’t let our class use the word “nice.” She considered it a lazy word, one easily replaceable by a variety of adjectives without any meaning being lost. Every time we thought to use the word “nice,” we were challenged to explore our vocabulary and come up with something more fitting and descriptive.
Therefore, the argument that there is no better word to describe one’s self than “nice” is weak. English is a rich language full of diverse vocabulary, much of which carries more powerful meanings than “nice.” If 12 year olds could do it, I’m sure you could too.
- Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT 2 months ago:
Maybe it’s because it’s still night where I am, maybe it’s because I’m on the autism spectrum, but those blue lights feel like an assault on my senses. I had to scroll it off my screen to type this because it made my eyes hurt. I can’t imagine having to deal with that every time I have to pee in public.
I also can’t help but wonder where people go to do their makeup. I don’t use makeup, but I often see others using the mirrors to touch up this or that. I can’t imagine blue lights are helpful for that.

Interesting, I think of the lyrics as describing the way a baby or toddler feels when looking at the stars. They don’t know what those bright lights are yet, they just know they’re shiny and too high up to reach.
