“Remember Y2K and all the chaos that was supposed to happen? Computer nerds scared everybody into updating everything and make it ‘y2k proof’ or whatever and then it was a whole nothing burger.”

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer? Scientists made us ban CFC’s like we were going to die of skin cancer any day now and then nothing bad at all happened.”

None of the above? I have certain traits that society thinks are weird. That’s about it. I’m neither cursed nor gifted, I just very much don’t fit the definition of “normal”.

The delist is presented as a big operating “loss” to tax authorities.

I have absolutely no fucking idea how taxes work. But this sounds to me like I have insurance on my hand and I sit down one evening with a knife and cut off my hand and then go to my insurance company, showing them my bloody stump: “gib money!”

wtf.

XnView should meet those requirements, as far as I can see.

Depends on what country. But in general, probably because the departments responsible tend to be understaffed and overworked, regardless of where, and there are quite a lot of migrants.

My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.

In Germany, generally, students are expected to bring their own stuff, it’s not the school’s/teacher’s responsibility to provide pencils and what not. That’s probably where the confusion lies, there is no scenario in which a teacher has to specifically ask parents to provide supplies because they do that anyway.

I fucking hate how accurate this is. Goddammit.

The downvotes are because what you wrote is pointless. We all know it’s made up and in the end there is no actual, definitive, real answer. That’s not what we’re here for. We are here for the creative exercise of finding an answer that fits the universe of the show and episode. You just shut down that creative process.

Oh come on, really? Is the problem ultrarich people? Or is the problem poor people who won’t eat those ultrarich people?

It’s one of the lost serials.

Translate for Europeans?

He recently made captain, show the man some respect.

Productive is not what I’d call what I do but anyway: I don’t follow things that make me miserable or even just “people”. My feeds are full of all kinds of fun stuff, like my fandoms or science or art. So I don’t ever “doom scroll”, really, but read about what other people thought about that newest episode or some new thought they had about an ancient episode or general fan squealing about a ship or the newest weird findings about spinosaurus or ‘look at these new photos Perseverance has taken’ or ‘look at this detail in this awesome painting’ or ‘this is how to improve this aspect in your drawings’.

Yes I am on tumblr. Yes I am on tumblr too much.

The only opinion that matters here is your partner’s.

Get thee behind me, Satan, I shall be strong and resist and wait for the episode.

yes but porn

Sharing contact information directly phone to phone.

Lock screen widgets, giving me information at an actual glance without the risk of getting sucked into other random bullshit.

Not a problem at all, but it does sound curious on the surface, don’t you think? ;)

Yeah, I should probably qualify and say “one of the bigger, more stable currencies”. From what I know about this stuff, which isn’t very much admittedly, those seem worthwhile if you don’t plan to keep them anyway. I don’t care about volatility if I’m not hodling, do I?
