Too much life in the eyes, too much color in the skin.

Freeze it first and we’ve got a deal.

Just like a pool with a ranked vote or individuals for districts or…?

Genuinely curious how that works

Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.

The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.

As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.

He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.

So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…

Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.

Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.

Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.

I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.

Excuse me, what?

I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.

Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with specific dream settings?

Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”

And it works about 30% of the time from reports.
