Depending on what you meant by “very easily impressed with basic factual statements” it could go either way. I’m an adult and I’m happy to admit I don’t know a lot things, sometimes I’ve been stunned that what I believed was totally wrong and all it took was some to give me a basic fact to make me realise.

I just pinned the new version to the taskbar so I don’t have to mess around with the old version diversion

That’s what the ceiling mirror and magnifying glass are for

Rest so very peacefully

Be boring rather than arrogant. If they ask what you did this weekend or what you’re doing later just say nothing really or watching TV and relaxing. Few words answers, when the conversation isn’t flowing naturally they will just think you’re boring and leave you alone.

Obviously this might not work for everyone but it’s worked for me everytime.

Rock wool, ignoring it’s insulating properties, I’m forced to believe was created by the devil himself.

My partners best friend was dating a guy very briefly. She called it off because on day 3 of just getting to know each other he started sending her nudes and rubbing himself with inflated balloons and videos of him humping. That guy has a balloon fetish.

I don’t think the balloons are what killed the short lived relationship so much as the boldness of thinking she wanted those videos/pictures.

If I’m not mistaken it was originally to describe Italian immigrants during whatever period of time (world war 1 maybe?) and it was a acronym for Without Papers. As in not having a visa.

I could be mistaken though, I read that once from one source so not really done any due diligence.

I’m not that young and optimistic tbh, it sounds like you’ve just been dealt a tough hand in life and hope you can get through it one day. Truly.

I’m 30 and do this easily enough when I drink.

It’s definitely killing me though and the next 3 days are hell.

That’s fair, I’m sorry that you’ve been through what you have, but you made a heavy generalisation that people don’t change, my experience is that they can and do.

Strong disagree on people not changing, my partners brother was a heavy alcoholic at 30 and he’s now 5 years sober and has children and hasn’t touched a drop. He relapsed in his first week and nearly died.

People can change, they just have to want to. Of course this isn’t applicable to all but generalising your situation to everyone isn’t helpful to people in these positions.

On the flip side so show that I understand people not changing, her uncle has currently lost his family and maybe soon his job. Every time the kids are due to be with him he’s completely shitfaced and the adult dropping them off refuses to give them to him in that condition and that still isn’t enough for him to want to change. I bet he has seen his own children for over a year. He is constantly lying and we think he owes money to people because he’s usually in a bit of a roughed up state. It’s sad but until he wants it there’s nothing anyone can do.

Her brother is still a testament to the way people can better themselves though.

I can’t believe you would do that. 😬

The moisture has most of the flavour.

I’m not sure you understand the words “what if”

I do love a hot take, I think I got that from blindboy though. His hot takes are chefs kiss

What I never understood about twitter was actually seeing what people say. Unless I follow them I don’t see their messages and I don’t know who to follow for the most active and enjoyable content, that was my main issue for twitter.

Hahaha, I can’t hold it that long although if I got a small fortune for it, I’d promise to hold it for as long as humanly possible and to donate any money to a charity of the donors choice.

Stephen fry is an absolute legend. Do you mind explaining mastodon for me? I never understood twitter so it could be a big ask.

I get that, I’d be happy to have Henry here with us. Tbf to us all, I’m closer to technophobe than I am to tech interested but I do agree with what you’ve said. I’ve basically just followed links when Reddit api’s shut down and here I am, so it’s not a far shout for some celebrities to do the same but I’m still not holding my breath.
