  Thank you for the information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yea it's kinda cool and all, but when is XANA gonna make it's appearance‽‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  … X-Men?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, I think we’re improvising wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune explained⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always loved the snow, though I will admit that since it hurt me, I’ve preferred to enjoy it through a window or from a sheltered place rather than to be in it.

  I moved several hundred miles across multiple states in part to be where there’s sometimes snow. Shortly after I got here, I was chatting to a local and mentioned that fact; he responded something like “wow. Most people don’t move to here for the weather.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune explained⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve started watching a YouTube channel of a guy trying to handbuild a homestead in Alaska. I forget where he said he came from, but like you, it was somewhere without snow.

  On a recent video, he recorded himself seeing what I think he said was the third snowfall he’d ever seen and the first with accumulation. It was nice to watch his clearly genuine joy and surprise.

  For at least Terry Pratchett and me, yup!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Terry Pratchett said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough space for all their books.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll see you guys next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your confidence is enviable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll see you guys next year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe this theory was also posited by a frequently referenced Reddit user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything is if you’re brave enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates spiders⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What did you think of Shoot 'em Up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I lost track of this comment after the word “shocked,” but it is reassuring to know it’s not real. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But … The juices …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HONK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you want to unsee something so glorious?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HONK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but maybe they didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On the Internet, no one knows you’re a fish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches Truman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Shawshank Redemption?

  I’m just kidding. I haven’t observed what you described, but I’m sure it applies. Apologies if it sounded dismissive. Next time I watch the movie I will watch for what you mentioned and thank you for drawing my attention to it if I notice it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy birthday, peon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had that … But for the past seventeen years I’ve used PTO if my birthday wasn’t on the weekend and I haven’t been denied yet, so there’s that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better hurry, before they run out of....1's and 0's...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Walmart+ is to Walmart as Amazon Prime is to Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Step by step...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Excellent point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I also wasn’t very good at flirting back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed and done, thanks!

  Back when I was dating, I encountered someone with the username “razetheaxolotl.” I was trying to show off my awareness of esoteric animals and my vocabulary and asked if she meant to raise them, as in promote awareness of them; or to raze them, as in clear land (and occupants).

  She responded that she loved axolotls and would never advocate razing them, then I never heard from her again. Weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, cool. I like the axolotl most of all, but that’s pretty cute, too.

  Do you play Minecraft on a server? Can I join?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought maybe it was a reference to carbuncle.

  What game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like your username, but I like your message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CHEESE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Watch out for Burnseses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Step by step...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What, you have a sphincter? Spoiled much?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Step by step...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagree.

  The hardest step is usually the first one.

  I would agree that the next one is the next hardest.
