A bad one.

When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels.
Not the kinda cars I drive, man.

We have some peaches and I’ve been putting them in some grilled cheeses I’ve been making with maple-leaf–smoked Gouda I also got this week and it’s been pretty incredible.

had wheels a bicycle
I suspect that your qualifications for what constitutes a bicycle is a tad short…

So good.

Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google’s taking the local data (that’s supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.
If they’re saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I’d say, “Well, duh;” but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn’t very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 5 weeks ago:
I expect it’s just a taste thing; water tastes fine but, like, it could taste more interesting if we added a bit of sugar or flavor to it (I was a huge justice fan).
For my own end, it was an easy way to keep my emotions/mood simulated or engaged against my depression that was low effort and easy to supply; that said, I switched entirely to water last year and, now fully comfortable drinking nothing but water and being fairly averse – previously –, I can’t say the previous reasons really make that much of a difference for me, now. Maybe it’s just having drank to my non-water content, already, but drinking nothing but water’s been pretty great and removes low-key health fears I always had.

Totally fair; thanks for just mentioning them. First I’ve heard of them, even.

Huh; are they more a commercial product or generally covered by eye insurance?

I don’t have it on have but some theorize it’s to recreate the endorphin rush they get when you play with them and it’s momentarily out of sight. Having to find it is part of the fun; of course, they’re unable to find it, now…
Dunno how universally that’s held but I did read it, one time.

Void, yes; absolute perfection.
- Comment on Anon tries to save money 1 month ago:
To be fair, I’m also stateside and, while I knew enough to know not to do it with abandon, I’ve torrented without a VPN at least a handful of times and never got anything from my ISPs in two decades.

To save you what turned into a whole year for me, – if you have anyone else who can help you – tag team applying. I only started to see consistent interviews once my husband started helping and we started not only flooding every listing we could but, also, routinely applying before a lot of people got to them.
Good luck; one of the worst years of my life.

For real; have no idea what the caffeine amount was (very well could’ve been far less than both if you) but I took an edible with caffeine, once.
Tried it once, before, and barely noticed anything so I popped a second one, this time around.
Naturally, forgot I’d taken anything and only vaguely became aware, an hour later, than my heart was pounding. Trying to figure out why your heart is thundering out of your chest while stoned to Hell is probably not high on the Most Effective list.

I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.

To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.
- Comment on Awooo 2 months ago:
This means that even in left-leaning communities like Lemmy, we’re seeing a majority of individuals speak out and very clearly say “This does not offend me.”
Has that been by people who are mentally disabled, though?
And that leftist spaces struggle with meaningfully engagement with systems of ablism has been a point of contention for…decades, now.

I watched a recap of that on YouTube, one time; sleezebag is right.

Everything is political; how much you notice really is just a metric of how much a particular subject effects you.
This is such a great example.

I mean, there are still obvious health benefits; you’re going to get vitamins from OJ a can of soda will never give you. But, yeah, there are definitely, additionally, health detriments, as well.

Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.
- Comment on French culture 2 months ago:
In the end, it’s all subjective but – if you’ll hear me out –
thoghdoesn’t alter the current spelling very much while maintaining a linguistic heritage (as the “thogh” spelling was also likewise used, during Middle English); also, the number of words ending in just the “o” vowel is less common, I feel, and will probably look doubly foreign to a native English speaker due to the consonant digraph (though, again, subjective; maybe not).However, – additionally – saving “oght” for “thought” is giving that letter combination a sound already covered in English by another letter combination: “aught” (e.g. caught, fraught, taught, …thaught…?).
Finally, a single “f” for “tough” could work (certainly, there are examples) but we miss out on employing the Germanic linguistic tendency to indicate a short vowel sound with a double consonant, inherited by words such as “ball”, “fall”, “doll”, “call”, or “puff” (of course, there’s plenty of exceptions (“get”, “bet”, “mat”, etc.) but, so long as we’re making changes, firming up an existing rule (and avoiding the brief uncertainty of whether or not the reader is dealing with a prefix) would, arguably, be useful).

Probably because that’s what some had been told they would be taking before entering the slaughterhouse; but just a guess, on my part.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 2 months ago:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made."
is generally interpreted to mean that Jesus was there from the beginning. Or, to quote the Nicene Creed,
begotten and not made, consubstantial with the Father
