Put me in the screenshot

Excuse me, but it’s pronounced GIF

I’ve found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

Oh I ain’t dead, I’m just real depressed

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.

It’s rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands

Lol i was thinking more about the super-durable-in-the-wild / fragile-when-domesticated dichotomy, but yeah, didn’t forget to water your bees

If the urban area is too densely populated there may not be enough blooming plants to support a colony. TBH close neighbors wouldn’t really be affected, or even notice, unless they are hyper-aware of bees due to an allergy or phobia. Our neighbor kept bees right beside our apartment complex and no one noticed at all

These wall units look really slick, but the hive entrance needs to be accessable from the outside, and the inside of hive itself needs to be accessable from time to time, even if the beekeeper doesn’t plan on harvesting honey. I only have a little knowledge of beekeeping, but I do know they don’t just run themselves. Keeping a hive healthy requires regular attention and work. Kind of like houseplants, actually

I think we’ve been reading this wrong. It’s not that Boeing is killing of whistle blowers. There’s just so many that some are bound to die. This winds up creating confirmation bias that they are trying to silence the whistle blowers. In fact, they can just do what they’ve always done, ignore the problems and enjoy the profits of regulatory capture

Folks, he’s just making his rounds, and is a little behind

Yeah, I lost something. I lost peace and quiet. What do you need?! What do you want?! Can I not just live here, without having to occasionally deal with you animals!?

I thought you said inedible at first and I was like 🤔

Like punching someone in the dark!

J/K, I have a pavlovian response to the phrase “victimless crime”

I was driving an old work van on the highway, doing the speed limit of 65 mph (105 kph). As i crested the hill traffic was stopped a few hundred yards ahead. I had plenty of room to brake and come to a stop, a bit abrupt for the weight of the vehicle but no big deal. I applied the brakes and the pedal went right to the floor. The brake lines had blown out from corrosion. I was in the right lane and there was an exit ramp to my right. The stopped traffic was fast approaching. I dropped the automatic transmission into low gear (it was an older Chevy, so it had R N D 4 3 2 on the column) and swerved right, with what felt like a fraction of an inch to spare from the car in front of me. I swear I could see the sour expression of a woman who very nearly has her day ruined go by in slow motion, like that Umbrella Academy meme. The off ramp gave me time to pump the brakes and let the engine slow the vehicle down. I was fully prepared to throw it into park if necessary, but by the time I got to the intersection enough brake pressure had been regained to stop. Pulled off the road and had that POS towed to a garage.

There was the time I high-sided my motorcycle, but OP asked for almost, not actual.

Yes, that’s another! Love it

Completely unrelated, my favorite moment in learning non-American English expressions was discovering that an international version of “banana hammock” is “budgie pocket”

I pay for Proton and the non-free servers generally work, although some have been blocked.

Eventually I’ll treat Reddit like Pinterest, either blocking it entirely from search results, or using FF add-ons to bypass all the cruft laid over the website

This is a fascinating analysis of culture and religion of origin and it’s influence on scientific views. I also admire your rigorous skepticism, but I have a question:

Why, for the love of Om, did you used emojis like you did?
