I’ve often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone’s name or what exactly happened when.

In November 1988, I traveled to Yugoslavia and met the Medjugorje visionaries who claim that Mary, the mother of Jesus, appears to them.

Updates: Yugoslavia no longer exists. I am now an atheist.

Our cat has been trying to kill us for 21 years. He wasn’t feeling well recently, but after a vet visit and meds, I knew he was feeling better as soon as he darted across my path and I almost tripped.

I’m a woman, and what bothers me is when the woman is not believable in that role. Men are generally stronger than women – that’s just a fact. But some women are exceptionally strong and trained in combat. If you’re going to cast someone in a role that’s supposed to show us a strong woman, then for fuck’s sake, she’d better be a strong woman, not a gorgeous woman who just looks great in a tank top and a sheen of sweat. It’s obvious she would be easily overpowered by any of her male opponents, but we’re supposed to believe that she’s kicking all their asses.

Someone else suggested Alien would be accused of wokeness had it been released today. I don’t think so. Ripley was just a regular, somewhat fit woman, and the things she did were believable for someone with her physique and level of training. That’s why that movie works.

Mine was a '91 GT, and there’s another commenter whose first car was a '92 Escort wagon. I guess the Ford Escort makes for a great first car.

I remember being able to start my car, then take the key out and lock the doors while the engine warmed up. Could also turn the ignition with a coin.

I’m terrified of going into lakes and rivers because of what might find its way into my skin.

I just cancelled my subscription and got a refund too. Good riddance.

Photos won’t convince people like that because they’ll just think it’s all fake. I suspect even if we all pitched in to buy them a trip into space, they still would think it was all fake – screens instead of windows, like an amusement park virtual reality ride.

Ears are for losers.

I don’t watch a lot of romcoms but one that I’ve seen and like is “While You Were Sleeping.” It starts out like how you describe but then there’s a little twist to it and she ends up with the bluecollar guy.

They blinded OP with science!

Fluffed the pillows?

I have the same frustrations. It used to work great but lately it randomly capitalizes words and fails miserably at recognizing what I’m swyping.

Also, it has something against the word “Tuesday” “today” (see it did it again) and always defaults to “Tuesday.”

I’ve been using Google Fi since 2016. When I worked from home, my bill was $25-$35/mo. I work outside the home now and my bill has been higher, so thanks for the reminder I should probably look into switching.

WFH bills:

Someone shared a video upthread.

Thanks for sharing! That was really cool. I’m going to be looking out for those from now on.

Can you share the address of a specific one? (Does it count as doxxing if nobody lives in it?)

I love the twitches and murmurs!

Some cats will even lift a paw to pull your hand (the direct source of pets) towards them.
