I really want the context. Tho the really old jokes I’ve read have all pretty well sucked according to my present tastes, so…

Brown is how you get red leaf plants. Brown is just red and green mixed after all, so you take out the green for other stuff the plant needs and are left with red.

It’s all totally on the up and up.

That sounds legit. Thanks for the info.

Trying to sort out of this is a xena meme or a marvel meme…

I’m sort of guessing marvel? But it looks cheesy like xena… maybe it’s neither?

which at the time was a bit of a “fuck you” to folk whose phones didn’t like them one bit and presented them as individual messages in their inbox.

Ha I had problems with the multi-message thing even a few years ago, sending messages from android to iOS. I tend to send very verbose messages, and the delay between them, as well as having it come through as text, made them a jumbled mess.

For a while I was putting numbers before every sentence if I thought the message was too long to be one message.

So glad that doesn’t happen anymore, tho we solved it by swapping to signal, I’m not sure the problem itself ever resolved.

That gave me a good chortle. Thanks for making my dumb thought funnier 😊

Honestly was just the first example I could come up with, but the fact remains that a lot of things do consider ants to be harmless because they aren’t, like, hunting those things. Especially other small arthropods.

I’m sure there are some hunting ant species (like the 200 army ant species), but most of them aren’t.

Consider: the goal isn’t for predators to be fooled, but prey.

Lots of things consider ants totally harmless, like aphids that gets farmed and stuff. Perhaps it’s an adaptation to throw those things off.

Arthropods, man. They have two ideals and everything goes toward them.

When I was working on my degree (science communication; half science, half linguistics and communications courses), I had the choice between making it a B.S. or B.A.

I went for a B.S. Guess I chose wrong. I figured it was all BS anyway…

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?

That’s a solid point. Most issues just stop being personal issues when they reach a certain magnitude.

The problem, as I see it, is all the damage that wave creates on its way through. Because it’s often a lot, like the tsunami depicted.

Fwiw, I believe in you and your ability to do the 2 hours of work!

I struggle to get shit done too, but it gets done, checkmate naurospicies! :p

I love those but my partner feels the same way you do, with the added perk that they hate the way the candies smell when I’m having one lol

I assume you are on android? I believe voyager is available on android, and I can see the gif in it at least on iOS.

They are also testing piefed support, I’m on a test flight version for that now, so that’s pretty swanky.

No, not for many years now. This all happened 2008-10. I threatened a restraining order, and claimed I was sending everything to my attorney, including over a year worth of unanswered monthly “still made at me?” type of messages, and never heard from them again.

Several years later I learned they became a felon for sexual assault of another person (idk the person, but it does make keeping tabs on the stalker very easy as they are on the offender registry).

Soon I’ll be moving away from the area entirely and I’ll feel a lot better.

Honestly that caught me too.

I’d have to guess his family suspected/knew he was a piece of shit and wanted proof. Maybe he was also abusive? I don’t imagine someone like that would be like… super kind otherwise, you know?

I wouldn’t call it clingy so much as my ex was a stalker who followed me 1300 miles…

Close all your windows, and the blinds, watch Christmas movies with ice cream and cookies.

Always helps for me, lets me convince myself it’s winter and cozy

I don’t have air conditioning, other than window units that I try not to use to cool the place, but I do use them for dehumidification a lot when it’s hot out, and that helps an absolute ton.

I considered buying one of these several years ago, but I measured everything out and… I don’t have the clearance for it. Woe is me.

Maybe my next kitchen.
